Spence is another new arrival of last September. Troy lost a peppy personality and Irving gained one. A joke a day keeps the blues away according to Spence Although held back in athletics by a weak heart he was on the tennis and baseball squads. In the classroom he held his own and showed what Irving does for the fellow who Wants to learn. A great student in the sciences in general. Any time you want your electric curling iron fixed he's the man, fellows. Our best wishes are with Spencer when he heads for Syracuse this fall and we have unlimited confidence that he will be a credit to our school. quam, J, 1:5 Jiffy hdzy ifli-'K A Q A we K V' 'M .

William and Mary Football 1926: Basketball 1926-27, Captain 1927, Baseball 1926- 279 Varsity Club 1926-273 Hall of Fame. When Cy entered Irving in 1925, due to his extreme modesty his talents were concealed for a few months. He was always jolly. When he failed he just laughed and when he succeeded he took his laurels mod- estly. Returning this fall Cy played on the varsity football team. Then came his sport-basketball. Charlie plays basketball like a professional and, because of his ability and popularity, last year's letter men chose him to lead this season's team. As captain he was most successful, leading his team through a record year. He had the honor of being captain of the first Irving team to journey to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn tourn- ament. ' Cy possesses a very attractive personality and is one of the best natured and best liked fellows in the school. He will be on deck for base- ball and We feel that he will be one of the mainstays of the team. Charlie intends to continue his studies at William and Mary. He has our best wishes for good luck and success to follow him through his college career. jf V . Page forty-one

Howey John H Lincoln, Nebraska Business Basketball Squad 1926-279 Tennis 1925-26-27, Captain 1926, Track 1925-26-273 Dance Committeesg Varsity Club: President of Class 1924. When studies were resumed after the summer vacation of 1922 there was, in the Lower School, a blonde youth who boasted of Lincoln, Nebraska as his home. Then, as time went on, this same lanky product of the corn-husking district entered the Upper School. As everyone knows John wields the tennis racket quite craftily in fact, well enough to win a place on the tennis team and rise to the cov- eted position of captaincy. Not only on the court but also on the cinders was John to be found, specializing in the high jump-he is, to date, un- defeated. In the cold winter months John was on the floor with our bas- ketball team, serving as a very able guard. John is well situated in the scholastic standing of the class. In the near future, should you chance to enter the right bank you will find John seated behind a large desk in a roomy office on the door of which is: PRIVATE-President's Office. 41.5 -ska, 1-..,,, Page forty three Q I is rx Ak' 2. ,595-Q7 , ..o,
