WALTER MURRELL SPEDDING BUCK “Budf Lansdowne Here he is: the boy who always has a grin on his face. He is not so big, but, nevertheless, the girls like him. Besides his American nickname, “Buck, he is also known as a distinguished English business man, Mr. Honeycutt. Of course, you know he received this name when he starred in the Senior Play. I hope he makes as great a success in life as in drama.

ADELINE CAPOTOSTO “Cappy” Lansdowne Who is that sauntering slowly down the hall at the ringing of the last bell? Why, Adeline, of course. She always lives up to her standard of being the last person to come in the room. Well, anyway, she may be the last person to enter the room, but she certainly is the first in when it comes to artistic ability. She also boasts of being a member of the “Triple Alliance. ’ We are all wondering why and against whom it was formed.

This popu lar A-l student is so much in demand that he can't even enjoy a single class in Problems without suffering a phone call. Maybe he's English on the American jokes, but he sure can solve the Shakespearean riddles. Well, “Eddie, dear, we wish you the sue-cess at managing your family that you had with track team.

JOHN EARL CLOUSER “Johnnie Business College Faraday Park He's just a wild Westerner that used to live in the untamed Northwest, where men arc men, and so arc women. We don't know much about him except that he is so good on a typewriter that he doesn't take typing. The first time he saw a milk w agon, after coming East, he wanted to ride the horse. He knows better now, though. Travel Club 4; Commercial Club 4; Athletic Club 4. 12

 HUGH BOWMAN Hugh Hahnemann Medical College Lansdowne “Where's my electro hydrostatic photosphynamometer? ' “Hold 'em, Yale! There's Bowman at it again. we cry. as we hear a dismal toot of a sax far away in the distance. When not thus occupied, he may be found expounding some new theory to Mr. Ewan or Mr. Eplcy. His favorite recreation is copying “Trig or Physics for the next period.

MURIEL BROWN “Browny” Drexel Institute Lansdowne Muriel seems so care-free that nothing apparently bothers her. Moreover, when the poetic muse fails to inspire the rest of our Latin class, Muriel turns up with a poem. But you really don t know her unless you've been with her outside of class. Then that suppressed chuckle breaks out into a hearty laugh and—the fun begins.

WALTER WORTHINGTON BROWN Brownie” Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Lansdowne Ladies and gentlemen, it is with the greatest of pleasure that we now present to you “Brownie himself. Walter is one of the best fellows imaginable; good-natured, generous, sympathetic and full of fun. The only fault we can find in him is that he is not around us enough, and we are sure that regardless of where he goes or what he does, he will make good. Surveying Club 3, 4, President 4: A. G. T.

FRANCIS HARRY COCHRAN '‘Cochran Lansdowne Here is the fellow who has all the ability for being a first-class butler. He was one “of them” in the Senior Play. We all think that he will end up as the elusive butler to the King of Hoboken. No matter what turns up, we are sure that “Fran” will “do his stuff” in a real way which will be a credit to himself and 29. Track 3, 4; Football Squad 3, 4; Current Topics Club 3; Track Club 4.

ISABEL MILNE CRAWFORD “Issy” East Lansdowne The “Marlyn Miller” of the Commercial Department. Her splendid acting won her the leading feminine role in our Senior Play. We have wondered what happened to the automobile on the way home from the March Senior Dance. Was it accidental or otherwise? Ask Jack! Her beaming countenance is loved and looked for by everyone in the school and everything brightens when “Issy” draws near.

MARY ANNE DeGARCIA “Mary” Drexel Institute Rutledge Mary lives up to her name, for she is our gardener of the Commercial Class and takes care of all the plants in Room 21. She is the champion giggler of the class. She also likes to play hockey and was “goalie” on the first team this year. We think she must be English, for it takes her quite a while to see a joke. Here's wishing you lots of luck and success in the future, Mary.

PAUL VINCENT de la COVA “Cova” Drexel Institute Lansdowne Behold the quiet boy of the class! Paul says little, but his brain has active ideas; ask anyone who takes Physics. Whether or not he turns out to be a miracle man rests upon whether or not he takes this up. We as a class are positive he will do something which will bring renown to his name. Good luck we wish you.
