WILLIAM STURc1s CORBETT Anybody know where Hoppie is? Sturge,7, pink-cheeked member of the Darien contingent, is an earnest student always to be found conning a book in what others consider spare time.

R. Firmly convinced that the world is against him, Mort swears that all his classes are unbearable. He has managed, however, to attain those seemingly unattainable 90's in most of his subjects. His pessimistic humor and long dissertations against authority in general keep him in good standing with the group.', lVlort's sad- dest disappointment occurred when he had to ship his beloved radio home after enjoying a year of Cheerleader, 4. nocturnal symphonies.
