It would seem as though he had an endless supply of checked coats and vests. Of course. the reason for this apparel is obvious when one has talked with lohn, for he is one ofthe Schools most enthusiastic horsemen. Indeed he almost daily holds forth to an interested group with his stories of King Horse. Our friends tell us he is as expert an eques- Y trian as he is ardent.

It was not long before he established himself i11 two fields: athletics and story-telling. Since that time he has retained a conspicuous place in both of these activities. During the winter months lap devoted his time to hockey-a sport which he loves and plays remarkably well. VVhen the New lersey spring hnally arrived, he turned his attention to tennis. Equally skillful at this popular game. Charlie has won maior letters in both sports. XVhile i11 Dickinson, lap was known as an able card, player, but since he became a member of the George. he has been perhaps the most expert of a quartet of experts and certainly the wealthiest. To tell of laps association with a well-known girl is in itself a story. To the sheltered or immature ear Charlie's variations of the Kings English might sound rather vulgarg but to an appreciative few, his extensive and highly special- ized vocabulary is a way by which he develops many unusual shades of meaning.

Cb Low: was elected to the honored position he has held this year because you just couldn't keep him out ot it. It wasn't his past record of achievements and important offices lthough you'll observe above that it was impressive enoughj. but rather the simple fact that everybody likes Long. On meeting him, you'll recognize instinctively that he's a leader and conclude that a better choice for president could l1Ot have been made. He has led the L School through as line a year as Lawrenceville has ever had. and much of that in which our Class of .39 takes pride is directly traceable to him. Une look at him and you are impressed. Long's powerful physique and handsome features always radi- ate dignity and power as well as friendliness. Far from being conceited or egotistical as another with his honors might be, Long has always been the friend of under- formers as well as those in his class. He engages in all the unsung. extra-curricular, but none the less quite routine, activities of the School and has been both the instigator and object of as many pranks as anyone. No better wish can we make for Lawrenceville than that she have many more School presidents like Long. Une Hmzdwd Foul'
