Qwleliewff PAUL WILMOT SCOVILL Scovey Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. North Carolina The hair-pin turns of the quad driveway have consistent- ly held a deep fascination for this up-to-date day boy, and when at eight A. M. a sudden roar, a screech, and a skid is heard, we reach our windows just in time to see the dust set- tling around Paul as he climbs from the cock-pit of his V-8. According to some reports, he is a budding Gene Krupa and owner of a handsome set of drums with which, at the Min- strel Show and first public appearance of the newly created Swing Orchestra, he kept everybody's feet tapping. Paul has been in school for a longer time than most of us, and can boast a record of having missed no detentions. In the athletic line, he has held down the left end position of the coefficient football team for two years as well' as the gas pedal of his car between Hackley and Edgewood Park.

FRANK EDWARD SCHIFF Schiffo Mount Kisco, N. Y. Undecided U . page M 'Qs We map-wap 499 we 'x,L3dYYXQfYx 411429 Q' K' 11 Q ,J Above is the gentleman who claims to know the name, pedigree, and age of every thoroughbred horse in the country. Frank is the one and only true horseman of the class, and when it comes to a show down on the subject, he is thorough- ly capable of showing anyone up. Schiffo is the proud possessor of a vicious tongue with which he lashes severely his adversaries, but by no means is this his sole method of de- fense. His pugilistic attitude and argumentative nature have resulted in countless visits by the local physician. The Loock- Schiff debates are of a disastrous results in that they inevit- ably end in a flurry of oaths, cuffs, and meals. As for other sports, Schiffo is a tennis player par excellence, and a flash on the coefficient basketball court. During the colder months, he was the active lemon-peeler and puck-chaser of the Soccer and Hockey teams respectively. As a life profession, we un- derstand that Frank intends to go into the horse industry. y Hymn v,..,k5l.7. . .P g Entered 1936 ,Ll 2' A 2'--i gr Ra mond, Basketball Coeff. f N .T 2, Solicer Manager '37, Hock- Mafia ' ey Manager '38, Tennis Team 1.

GORDON SHAW SMITH V 5 , ' ,W 1 I Whether in a bath tub, on a dance floor, or sound asleep in bed, the very second that the rhythmic beat of a swing or- chestra makes its presence known, Smitty instantly goes in- to a state of ecstasy with much foot-tapping and contortions of delight, leaving him breathless after the storm . He is a true Jitterbug , Cat , and an Ickey all amassed in one being. CSee Life , Feb. 211. After a session in Mr. Chap- man's room with B. Goodman, Smitty emerges haggardly, drags himself to his room, and flops into bed, a complete Wreck. This, however, is not the extent of his colorful school career. He has published some very good issues of the Hack- ley , captained the 1938 coefficient team to a highly successful year, and substituted for Walter Morse as Soccer captain dur- ing the latter's absence. Next year will find him at Dart- mouth and following a year there he hopes to transfer to West Point to become an educated morsel of cannon fodder.
