Former HBE.-XIQTY is only skin deep, they say, but not so in this case. Handsome Hugh is as line a friend as can be found in Lawrenceville. Add to this friendliness a rare executive ability and you realize how naturally he has been selected for responsible positions. Last year he governed Dawes House, and for the past Periwig Club. Besides being president of the latter, Hugh is the engineer who constructs the stage sets. He and his assistants work feverishly for the last few days before every performanceg then retire and try to revive sufficiently to witness the triumph of their handiwork. This winter's Periwig production gave Hugh far more trouble than any other. The club had a problem- not solved until the last minute-overcoming certain technicalities before it could produce Buflzelor Born. It had to have High Tor prepared in case of a change. Hugh therefore had to construct two sets, and that of High Tor required a steam shovel. The contrivance was a tough iob, but Hugh finished it just before the play was definitely set aside. Fortunately the club used T., ls, . . , 'W the set later when High Tw' was presented in the X sf V. - i 'X spring. One Hzuzdred Tzzfcflzty-four two years he has headed the x

Qsfkgkk '-ig 2,2 Z9 rm? C-Q ONE day early in last Ianuary, when no one was looking, a quiet fellow moved into Room 3 of VVoodhull. Before anyone knew it he was on the basketball squad. Although he missed the early games, he was rewarded with a minor L. No sooner was basketball over than Nels grabbed a tennis racket and hurried to the courts. Reliable sources have it that he will do even better at tennis than he did at basketball. Since he only came to Lawrenceville this Ianuary we wonder whether this Final half year at School was given Nels as a Christmas present. At any rate he has been a good present to the School, not only for his skill in sports, but also for his likeable character. Although his arrival at School was unheralded. he had a host of friends in a week. and the number has been growing constantly. They say congeniality is greatly helped by a good appetite, and this may to some extent explain Nelson's popularity. VVe know of no one who gets more pleasure from eating than he. In short, Nels is good proof that to work well, to play well. and to eat well mean to live well. One Hznzdred T1L'e11ly-five
