GEORGE SAMMONS George is an efficient electrician. He gets shocks instead of results when he wires bells. JOHN STOLZENBACH Our dear Daddy Longlegs. The benches don't fit him. ROBERT TATE Robert follows in his father's footsteps. He smells smoke every time the school has a hte drill. FRANCIS UMPLEBY Francis is the quiet kind, but he comes to life in a class discussion, and he always knows his stuff. CHARLES WHITTLE Give him a stick, and he won't belie his name.

HARRY CAMMARATA The editor of the Ask Me Another Column . He doesn't know the answers. ROBERT CULLER Robert is almost as bad a tightwad as Scrooge . He never lends algebra or English to anybody. GEORGE CI-IENOWETH George is with us in body, but in mind he is miles away. PAUL FALK If Falk were kept in to make up late time, he would be in school night and day. RALPH GOLDBERG The laughing hyena of 9A6, he keeps even the teachers smiling. ' EDWARD HAMPEL The smallest boy in the class, but the biggest noise-box.
