Sometimes he seems imbued with the spirit of high frnance during algebra recttations, when 'n defen'e of his iniured dignity At first he was thought not to exist and was considered merely a fictitious l 5 - D i . character by the unacquainted, until one day he turned up and actually denied the report that he had eloped and gone to Africa.

H Cy will always be remembered as a leader and a good fellow as well as an athlete. Richard Mackenzie has always played a prominent part in athletics and H on the stage, and also has been something of a literary man. We all admire Dick for the splendid Way he has filled a very trying position, and he is voted a U jolly Good fellowfl ' L O ' ' the shark of our brilliant class He is the delight of the faculty as well as Louise Haggie ewis is . i . of the fellows. 4' Dick has made a record for any athlete to be proud of.

Sixth orm History 'ns haxe left and humbled themselves to a meager portion of tle honor of 7 HAS gone. The sturdy swai f , ' ' f h ' l urels won leaving to our care 1 greater things, their work here oxer, t eir a , g Mackenzie and a page to Hll yet unwritten. And we, led no longer, but leaders, are left to decide what position the class of lo8 shall assume in the history of our school. But such thoughts as these have been banished by long association with our duties, for the year has slipped away unseen, and we now awake to find ourselves about to leave forever the school which has so long fostered us, and about to separate for allegiance to a broader life, leaving behind us but a humble parchment to whisper of our deeds. The leader of leaders is President Paine, whose forty-five yard run in the second team game with Holbrook will always be spoken of in a lowered voice. What a formidable appearance he presented in McCreery's shoulder guards! And who can forget his effective disguise as a Welsh Rabbit at the Hallowe'en masque. Our worthy leader is habitually seen with a look of studied concern upon his features, and should you really care to find out what is on his mind, ask him if he ever saw a rabbit climb a tree. ' Our Vice-President, Heinie Eagle, is one of the most religious-going of Preusseites, being duly appointed to the honored office of H Grand Mogul. Indeed, he may be seen by the curious periodically wending his way toward the famous Preusse emporium seclusively retired behind his sanctum, consisting of an upturned coat collar and a drooping hat brim. During his C eer er moods he has recourse to the seclusion of his boudoir, where he may oft outwatch the bear Hg for Heinie is an English shark and a philosopher. The last of our officers is our Secretary, Ross Craig. He is best known for his acrobatic gyrations, which are ever present to entertain the cottage during idle hours. But aside from these fantastic movements ' h' l f have been able to equal he has enjoyed an athletic and scholastic record w ic 1 ew . f ti e and dignity as we turn to others also in the public eye. ' 44 7' J These, then, for our symbols o pres g Let us first consider that pioneer of the past and present, f'S1d', McCreery-or Skinny, ' as Royster insists. To ever attempt to chronicle the exploits of so great an eminence would be as futile as it were ' - ' d C ' 'tus been present to recount his deeds and to add praises to fruitless. Had Orpheus or long haire rim them on the silver-tongued lyre, they might well have found a copious field for their enchantment. But how, when many more worthy have refrained from such -a labor, may I justly tell of McCreery, the orator, and C' the olitician P May it suffice to recall the fact that he has been our school president and was Mc ,reery, p .

The former, ff Lemon, however, played on the football team and scored points for our track team by way of recreation. Matthiessen is our motorcycle and chemistry fiend. We hope for great things from Toots in the scientific world. Mary Phillip's zeal and industry on the Town and Gown Board should prove an example to the less enterprising and to those who will not call him a grind. Indeed, we should not be surprised to some day find our young hopeful a reporter on the N ew York Journal. - Tesser Shaw, besides being an athlete, is very much in evidence in our musical world.
