Charity shall cover cz multitude of sins A clever wit and a fine sense of humor have made Boots one of the best liked students in Manhattan. He has always been a partaker of everything, from the most active sports to the more sedate luxuries of life. We will never forget his witty commentaries concerning certain English lessons. He favors sports and the latest musical fad, Rock 'n Roll. Nevertheless, he has a violent dislike of a certain singer with sideburns. Bob, who intends to enter the Arts School at Manhat- tan, will either turn to teaching or to journalism. Talented in the literary field, he is sure to become a great success in whatever field he enters.
