Stop! Another second, girls, and he would have blushed. It is a constant source of wonder how Dick has been able to move about so quietly for these four long years and still be so popular with everyone, including naturally the fair maidens whom one occasionally sees about these halls. He has proved himself a terrible nuisance to his teachers on account of his knowledge, which is not, as is generally supposed, the result of a tcn-day correspondence course. In spite of this blight he is almost human and his skill on the athletic fields is rapidly enlarging his stock of trophies. However, he has found time to be a most capable leader of the Senior Class, which has good reason to be proud of its choice. Consequently, all his honors come to him as a fitting tribute to his efforts. Dick is really a good fellow, and when you get to know him better you will seo the reason why he will have the success we predict for him. 20
