His infectious smile and frankly engaging manner have the power to set even the most timid completely at ease, and few have come into contact with him without feeling the influ- ence of his strong personality. His keen interest in all sports has given a new importance to the athletic side of school life. More now than ever before is stress laid on physical development. From this you must not gather that scholastics have been at all neglected. On the contrary, they too have received stimulus through a system based more on achievement than on standing. The same vigorous leadership with which he has, throughout the past year, guided the destinies of the school we know he will continue in the future, leading the school on to new heights of accomplishment in ac- cordance with its motto, “That the better self shall prevail and each generation introduce its successor to a higher plane of life.” Mii than a mere headmaster, Mr. Holmes is a comrade.

And last, but far from being least, is his desire for the companionship of the fairer sex. In accordance with his actions and statements his motto might be: “Anything that wears skirts.” He matches experiences. with Vilas and other weak-minds, and gives advice to the young and inexperienced. Tis murmured about that in comparison with Peter, Clark Gable is a piker! There is one unsolved mystery about Pete: where is he when one calls him on the telephone and receives the reply that he is “down at the library.” Be all this as it may, he really is not such a bad guy, and when he receives his honorable dis- charge from Hawken, we will lose not only an outstanding athlete, but a boy whose prepossessing characteristics will undoubtedly lead him to a brilliant future.
