-ft. ti TRVING SKETCH BOOK ff v:A, Vice Fourth Form History At the beginning of our school year the sophomore class decided to make themselves evident-in spite of the greatly discussed parable chil- dren should be seen and not heard. The Fourth Form was not only seen, but also managed to make itself more or less tmostly the formerl audible throughout the entire school year. Clark and Peckham, not to forget Gerli, performed really miraculous feats with the human voice! The example in athletics was promptly set by President Richards who proved himself extremely capable as the class leader in every branch of school activity. Richards, Deisroth, and Gerli all made the varsity I in football, an unusual feat for Fourth Formers. Deisroth, having grad- uated from Junior ranks, was an invaluable asset to the basketball team, while several other members of the class helped, with unflagging spirit, to build up our quintet. Baseball and track found many aspirants from their numbers and we feel sure that they will carry off their share of the honors. The Fourth Form could hardly be termed a brilliant class, scholastic- ally speaking, however, there are some among them who are on Mr. Ben- netto's list of the Intelligentsiag Portal and Richards are waging a close battle for the scholarship. The general willingness to Work and cheerful spirit aroused the commendation of the faculty and amply made up for any deficiency attributed to them. Parkhurst deserves mention due to the fact that he led the finest cheering at our games that has been heard in many years. We feel confident that the Fourth Form will ably fill the seats left by the Junior class and hope they will continue to progress as they have this past year. .,.. M P - A93 Page sixty mne

IRVING SKETCH BOOK T . Y 2' ee.,-g Qi x.iz11'f1 ' wif M:-W W, 1. 5.11, Vice- Third Form History The third form, numbering twelve boys all-told, has had a very suc- cessful year. These boys are looked up to as the leaders of the Lower School, and, as such, they have proven very capable, for besides aiding in all the school activities they have, as a group, done more than many classes of their size would have been able to do in like circumstances. At the beginning of the year this class unanimously elected Carl Sherred to the Presidency, with Dominick Laftarulo as his able assistant. These two boys, in the absence of Mr. Duncan, have been a great aid to Morgan Corbett in keeping the Lower School to its regular routine. In Junior athletics F. Backus, Meyer, Sherred, J. Portal, and Aver- hoff have been among the stellar players. All of these appeared for foot- ball, and Backus, Sherred, and Averhoff were invaluable to the basketball squad. We expect much from this class in the Junior activities of spring. They are somewhat inexperienced in tennis, but with the material they have, plus a certain amount of hard work, an excellent team should be formed. Athletics constitute only a small part of the work of these husky Third Formers. There are a large number of bright spots in the scholastic standing of this class. Laftarulo and Meyer are running a close race for high honors at the end of the year. We might add that as this scholarship is the last prize to be awarded to any boy, it is especially covetedg more so this year than ever before. This class, as it climbs the ladder of success, will put aside each rung with ease, and will be graduated a class of true Irving Standard. K' fl 4, J Page seventy one
