WILLIAM H. VVYCKOFF . . . Bill's analytical mind has for years untangled the labyrintlzs of Math. and Science problems with en- viable skill, while if you ever want a puzzle solver, again he is tl, l ' ' 16 man to go to. Usually rather quiet, you should hear Bill cheer on the baseball Varsity of which he is manager. He is hard work- ing, a member of the Social Committee, rarely missing even an S. N. C. get-together. Chief Record Room boarder. ROBERT ZLIJKER . . . On the MANNIKIN and Record boards, a member of the Philosophy, German, and Good Covernment Clubs an advocate for the return of the school band, and finally as a soccer and track exponent, Zuck,, has managed to make his pres- ence around school well known. As a matter of fact wherever you go. we will gladly give you two to one odds that he'll be there also. Wants to do his snooping at Columbia next year. 80

HOWARD XVENNERHOLM . . . New at sclzool, Howie made a big place for himself with an easy grin and an easy chair in the Record Room. He weighed less than 155, but filed plenty of holes at center and and of the Varsity. ln the winter he excelled with Mr. Sf-hmitt's ,layeee Basketballers. RICHURD XXITKIND . 1jlClx has about htm an air o sollfllty and dependability which is truly to lre marveled at. Unilh regard to his ponderous gait. his unelianging features. and his plat-id voice. he seems a man without nerves. hut beneath this impressive exterior we sense the heart and eompassions of a lamlz. Took a stall at the Prirzting Club for a while. played a little Third Foot- ball this fall, and zras another of those Coofl C0l'l'f'lIf7lf'lIf Club memlzers. 79

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I Nov. 1931 Dear Diary, When a fellow gets to be my age. I guess he ought to keep a diary. A lot of important things happen to you in high school. The Boys School is some place. Instead of clubs we have a football league. We can play in Van Cortlandt Park four days a week now instead of waiting for those infrequent Saturdays when hikes were combined with football. The subway ride isn't really so long. Most of the old sixth grade gang is still together and we can find a lot of things to clo. Did you ever realize that almost every car has a whistle? Well, it does. That guard, O,Dea. says he'll break my neck if I don't quit kidding around. He says he knows V+!! well itls me. Maybe he's right. The teachers are a lot different up here. Miss Giles never made me run around Teachers Col- lege ten times. And when Mr. Cerow talks about Andivius Hedulio he seems to resent competi- tion. Miss Mclntosh is trying to make young gen- tlemen out of us. We never had a coach down at the 120th Street School. Up here we have Ump. Of course he doesn't really coach us-Acky and Schmitty do that-but Ump will when we weigh a little more. There are an awful lot of big guys up here. If they could all play football like Dan Comfort. Ump wouldn't ever lose a game. I wonder what makes them hang around the office all the time? I should think Miss Molloy would throw them out. She threw me out yesterday-or was it Mr. Neitz who did it? He was there, anyhow. Feb. 1932 Dear Diary. We held our class election the other day. Ulen tthatis Clay from down at the Lower School. Every- body gets called by his last name up herel well. Ulen is President, Lader is Vice-President, and Baumann fhe's newj is Secretary-Treasurer. You get to know more about your teachers up here. Take Mr. Baruth. If you talk in his study hall, you get stood up against the wall with your nose against a hot pipe. If you talk in Mr. Mar- tin's study hall.--ouch! Can you imagine us thinking that Mme. Rotach was queer? Say, Mr. Camenzind has it all over her. Madame never said a word about her boxing career. The Dumbell Fund is a real idea and Mr. Moore is a great guy. Mr. Metcalf has his Latin class right next to Miss lVIcIntosh's room and sometimes you can hear him. The older fellows say that Latin is an awful hard courseg I wonder if Illl take it. I'm getting sick and tired of some of this play- period stuff. This is the fifth time I've washed socks and things for that guy Ump and I wasn't doing hardly anything. But I don't care-I drank out of the fountain right after Comfort today and I can get credit at Andy's any time. We have a couple of bright boys in our class. Compton and Lader were asked to stand up before the whole school because they got all honors this month. I got an honor too, and I'd have had an- other if I hadnit had so much homework. Those two. Lader and Compton. appeared in a play called The Dictatorf' It was a big success. We had a pretty good time playing football this year. Kubie, Cratz. Lester, and Lader made the backfield in spite of all the competition from bigger boys. There's one in the second form named .lere Davis. He plays guard, but he's always kicking to get into the backfield. We have to play against a guy named Gunther, and when he gets Tishman for interference you just can't nail him. 0'Brien, Reeves, and Russell are trouble in blue jerseys. but they aren't half as bad as Bicky Beatman. Why did he have to switch from soccer? Cratz is prac- tically the only fellow who tackles him. March 1932 I just wanted to put something down about the snow and stuff. We're practically snowed in and every day there is some sort of fight. Boy! We had a real scrap the other day. I got thrown off the cliff and half the fellows got their pants torn. Dr. Tillinghast said something about the snow- fighting in assembly, and there was an article in the Record about it. Andy is awful sore about the way guys use his place as a sort of fort. Whenever there is a big bombardment a lot of hard wet snow- balls come busting in and mess up his candy. We tried awfully hard to elect a First Former as the Lower School representative to the C. A. It ran to four or five ballots, but Lader finally lost to Johnny Wleiss of the Second Form.
