It took fn him some time to get accustomed to his surroundings, but under the tutelage of his .fellow students, he soon rose to his place in the sun. To be seri- ous and truthful, however, Johnnie is a mighty line fellow and a credit to G. A.

Coming to us Q four years ago from a distant land, he made a name for himself in a very short time. Since his arrival he has played varsity baseball three seasons and has been one of the greatest assets to the team. To his fellow students Juan is known as our mathematician, and any time we wanted to know anything about angles he was always the one to set us straight. Some day he is going to be a great civil engineer and we wish him all the success in the world in his strenuous climb to success. ROBERT J. REAL uB0bu Santiago de Cuba, Cuba Football, '26, '27g Baseball, '26, '27, '28. I N this case Bob is the successor of his brother. He too has been with us four years, as short as they seem, and has made many sincere friends and developed his foot- ball and baseball ability. He certainly de- serves our greatest praise for his untiring efforts in behalf of our Alma Mater. Good luck, Bob.- HARRY A. REIST H, A. R. York, Pa.

Since then he has won a prominent place in our minds as a basketball player. More than once his clever headwork has helped G. A. to win a game. If he has the same success in life that he had as manager of our year book, we feel sure that he will be a great success in the business world. -..sg 3113

Despite this, he is a very good and efficient student, as is verified not only by his splendid marks, but also by the classmates of his to whom he has been a constant source of help. We feel sure that Jim will keep up all the good work in whatever profession he may pursue. CHARLES R. THOMAS Tom Amos Blue Literary Society. 'R A MOS is very dignified and unas- suming. VV e believe that he likes ua G. A. too, for he has come a great distance. One of his hobbies is to go to Penn Hall on Saturday afternoons, but most of all Amos enjoys loafing in the People's Drug Store. We don't know why! We are glad to have him with us, for to know hini is to like him. We do not know what his plans are, but we know that he will be successful along most any line. RALPH E. TOOMBS Radio Meriden, Conn. Blue Literary Society. , E ,have .considerable difliculty in discovering Ralph's goal in life, but we have come to the conclu- sion that he is doomed to become a scientist. His scientific training at G. A. has given him a solid foundation that may enable him to rise. Who knows but that some day his name may be em- blazoned above such mediocre scientists as Edison, Tesla, and Marconi. wazgsw
