I-le is none other than the leader of the greatest swing band yet to appear in Lawrenceville. At the winter prom he supplied the music before Artie Shaw arrived and startled the guests with the equality of the two bands. He works diligently with his boys, but what is much more obvious is the fact that he himself practises in Upper. Cush's hor11 skips lightly up and down the scale afternoon upo11 afternoong and. although tl1e sounds are sweet, they begin to get on one's nerves after the fourth hour. Rob is either very modest or very frank with himself. Vllhenever he has difficulty in seeing a poi11t wl1ich a INLISICI' is explaining he points out that he has still not lNl1lL11'CLl and claims that all he knows how to do is blow a hor11. lt is at least an original argument. al- though like most classroom speeches has little basis. for Dox does get a gCl'lllCl'lllll1'S grade. Hobs clarinet has indeed made an enviable reputa- tion for him, but his genial nature and pleasant per- sonality have been responsible for l1is success. f JNYIVIICZJ'-L'Iig!If

This remarkable fellow is already before the conclusion of his prep school career one of the better lcnown baby photographers of the United States. Perhaps it is his soothing countenance that lulls the children into quiet complianceg but, at any rate, Bill is admittedly highly A rofieient at the art of icture-makinir. He has an P P D amazing assortment of complex equipment of a type which he defends as the best yet made. and he can tell what it's all meant to do even if he can't use it. Mistakes in the products of his efforts are always the results of unforeseen exterior circumstances. Bill is an ardent hortieulturist. Last year and part of this year he nursed some beautiful specimens of nar- cissus, and then returned after Christmas with some ' cactus. I-le forgot to plant them for a month and then when he did he put them in some oily sand taken from the road. Now they are thriving-at least one has a green spot. Nfzzcfy-sez'e11

Une can usually Find him in the exercise room where he challenges all comers. The foolish who accept are few and far between, for they have seen the fate of their comrades who have gone before-but who know better than to go again. Ted is one not to be made fun of. as he has proved on many an occasion. .X talented and able wrestler. he has not only succeeded in making a brilliant record on the mat, but has also displayed his ability in the Upper House. Few will forget the incident when our child prodigy, Dave Saunders, was tantalizing good old Ted because of his inability to work a certain problem in mathematics. Ted became slightly irritated and decided to match wits with his mocker. I bet l can make you say 'black' in a minute, said Ferdinand. Dave was conhdent that he could never be trapped into saying black in such a short time. but within ll few seconds he was pinned to the Hoor yelling Black ' at the top of his lungs. Moral: Don't fool with Ted. .vlillffflf-IIT I1 L'
