HIS is none other than the handsome gentleman who created such a sensa- tion among the curious students on the opening day of school. Their queries were completely and most satisfactorily answered after a few days of football practice had passed. Physics students will understand when we say that great forces of negative acceleration had to be exerted to neutralize his kinetic energy into a state of equilibrium as he crashed through the line. One might say that the Reds had some extra laboratory experience in “‘motion.”’ Although Dan was not able to play basketball, because of a game arm, ‘he was runner-up in the foul-shooting contest. This spring he filled with admiration the heart of every hero-worshipper as he pranced about the track, attempting to loosen up all his connections. Dan has been a great help at school in many ways. He served as Vice- President of the Student Assembly, assistant to the Property Manager, and was numbered among the greasiest of the Printing Committee. Dan is a serious worker. Who of us has not, during the animated conversa- tion of the last study period, had a qualm of self-reproach on seeing Dan hard at the job of his home-work? We shall attempt no prophecy of Dan’s future, albeit we know that his youth will not be uninfluenced by the fair sex. We think it quite probable that Dan will continue to utilize his last study periods; which is another way of say- ing that he will be successful'in whatever he sets out to do.

RAE Te ek Dee Gen YB Oc Kk FRANCIS FRIEDMAN SILVER Senior Red; Year Book Board, 11, 12; Glee Club, 10, 11, 12; Orchestra,.10; Player's Club, 10, 11, 12; Football, 12. ‘©MH,” says one of the readers of this fair Year Book, upon beholding the i X lineaments so inadequately pictured above, “‘the face of a scholar and a gentleman.” “Here,” says a second, “are the features of a philosopher and a poet.”’ Both are right. “All that glitters is not gold,” for quite often it is Silver, you know. His activities on the Year Book Board have long been a source of trial and tribulation to Editor-in-Chief Schneider, and he has been tolerated solely be- cause of his sterling ability as an author. His masterful voice, distinguished air, and inimitable (perhaps it is just as well!) way of acting in the productions of the Players’ Club have long been the envy of the other actors. Francis cavorted about the football field to such good purpose last fall that he was of necessity given a letter. As guard for the Keds he literally terrorized his opponents. They claim it was the face and the expression, but you know how things like that get around. His presence likewise graced the basketball squad to good purpose last winter. In the spring Francis burns up the track, much to the dismay of his opponents, who can not then find it. The Cross-Country Run ex- ercises a fatal attraction for him, and last year he was second by only a small margin. But the athletic field is not the only scene of his activities. He is the energetic chairman of the organization vulgarly known as the ‘Squeeze Em for Lucre”’ committee, which to the sorrow of everybody, has lived up to its name. A member of the Dance Committee, he was in charge of refreshments, and ap- parently discharged his duties well. (Hey! hide that letter of complaint, quick!) In the Glee Club he sings anything from bass to soprano, much to Mr. Brewer’s despair. To appreciate him one must know him; and his friends are legion. [ seventeen |
