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

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.
