ARELY do we meeT up wiTh a young man who possesses The qualiTies oT Mike, ATTer spending Tour highly successTul years aT a WaTerbury High School, John J. packed up To come To ManhaTTan. Enioying The repuTaTion oT an ouTsTanding TooTball player, Mike wenT ouT Tor ThaT sporT, buT Tor reasons oT his own disconTinued The pracTice.

I-le is possessed oT a keen analyTical mind and a Tinely drawn sense OT humor. Coupled wiTh These qualiTies The neT resulT is a genTleman. And by a genTleman we mean one in The classical signiTicance oT The Term. AT The presenT Time There is a sTrong Tendency To call everybody who wears a clean collar a genTleman. GenTlemen, sTep on your new shine in The subway cars and beaT old women To vacanT seaTs. We do noT apply The Term To Vin in This hackneyed sense. RaTher he is The Type oT genTleman who, when you have done him a Tavor, lies in waiT like a caT unTil he can pay you back. NOT osTenTaTiously, buT surely. l-le is The kind who doesn'T keep one waiTing on windy sTreeT corners Tor a TheaTre daTeg who doesn'T look aT a picTure oT your besT girl and say, Now l'll be Trank wiTh you. She may have a nice personaliTy, buT-Z. He is willing To concede ThaT a Tew people in This world have worThwhile ideas besides himselT, and is willing To lisTen To Them-a TraiT which sTamps him as almosT unique in The presenT day world oT horn-blowers. ww--4 I-,-.Y-ew-, ,, .

Coming To us Trom WesT NewTon, Mass., John seTTled down in The spacious quarTers of ManhaTTan l-lall penThouse and now is one oT The chosen Tew quarTered in The AdnninisTraTion Building. From The day he TirsT seT TooT upon lvlanhaTTan's campus, Johnnie was well liked by everyone who came in conTacT wiTh him. Now, Though he may be unaware oT The TacT, he is one oT The mosT popular men aT ManhaTTan. We can ascribe This To a keen inTellecT, an ever-ready disposiTion To lend The helping hand, and a Typical good-hearTedness. A greaT deal oT Johnnie's Time was spenT abouT The environs oT The CapiTol DisTricT. ls iT liTTle wonder Then ThaT The Troy and Albany Club dances were so successTul, having been honored by Johnnie's presence? T-low many oT us remember The nighT Johnnie and Two oTher lvlanhaTTan men drove l5O miles Tor one oT Poland's sandwiches?
