ND now let us introduce you to Richard Crane, the boy mechanic and jack-of-all-trades of the Senior Class. For the four years that Si has been at Hackley he has steadily increased for the better, until now, where we once saw a lanky, solemn fellow of easy-going disposition and one who was only moderately interested in his work, we have a tall, muscular youth, still a trille thin but beginning to fill out, who sails through his examinations with flying colors and when angered Hys into such a rage that the country round about trembles in terror. We cannot say enough concerning the mechanical ability of this unproclaimed genius, but let it suffice that the few who know him well realize he is a master in the arts of remodeling, constructing, and inventing, and expect him to be one day a man of great prominence among the artisans of the world. However, in other lines Si is not so perfect. For example, he hates the sight of women and couldn't be induced to go to a dance unless by superhuman effort. Even when reciting a simple little verse before a throng of admiring damsels, his heart jumped to his throat and obstructed the words which eventually slipped through far behind time. We sincerely hope that he loses this petty characteristic, and wish him the best of luck during his coming year at Harvard, where he will surely need it. 27

fA7gN EJ TH E HACKLEY ANNUAL DEEP-THROATED laugh, a crash of broken furniture, a muttered epithet from Mr. Brockett's room and John B. Forrest, otherwise known as the missing link, strides into the room. Johnny is the biggest roughhouser in school, and though crowned with a flaming shock of Vermilion hair, is not Irish, but merely a native of Rye, N. Y. john has unjustly earned the title of class hog, merely because of the huge amounts of pie, cake and canned grape fruit that he consumes weekly, and his almost fanatical love of popcorn, which he leaves strewn up and down the corridor and on Mr. Brockett's bed. ,lohnny's good spirits have other outlets, of course, as would readily be believed if his work as quarterback on the football team could be appreciated by everyone. He has also played on the baseball team for several years, and is an ardent member of the Civics club. We don't see much of John around school, and he has never been known to go downtown, but when he and Si Crane get to- gether on their bi-weekly trips to llastview, believe me, the natives turn out en masse. John has quite a few little frivolities that we don't know much about, but occasionally he is seen wandering over the hills and far away to destinations that it seems are none of our business, although we're willing to bet that Rye sees as much of him over the week-ends as we do. Mouse is going to spend his college days at Yale, along with a few comrades in crime, and we rather think that that staid college is in for an abrupt awakening when it folds this lad to its bosom, if it ever does.
