We, foo, were deceived when we firsf feasfed our eyes upon Gene as he saunfered abouf fhe campus on regisfrafion day four years ago. As he himself offen declared, he is nof even a relafive of fhe music maesfro. Gene came fo us direcf from Manhaffan Prep. In fhe four years we have known him we have found him a polished genfleman possessing all fhe higher qualifies which one would expecf fo find in a fypical Brofhers' boy. We musf recall fhe Quadrangle selecfions for fhe various posifions in fhe Senior Poll. lf chose Gene as Besf All-around Man and we righfly believe he deserved if. Gene's favorife diversions are in fhe fields of dramafics and debafe. l-le was one of fhe young men responsible fo a greaf exfenf for organizing fhe Freshman dramafic sociefy-fhe Fooflighfers. ln forensic circles he is equally prominenf. ln a debafe wifh a neighboring college fhis year, Gene was uniusfly accused of using fhe expression, God save fhe working girl. Since fhaf fime he has been fhe buff for many supposedly humorous remarks from his classmafes. l-lowever, being a faifh- ful member of fhe B. S. O. A. lifroop Bl, he fakes fhem in fhe righf way. As a lasf word, Gene, lef us wish you happy days. 203

T We undersfand fhaf Read has chosen law as his profession. Wifh his charming personalify, ready smile, and his inexhausfible wif, he is bound fo rockef fo fhe fop of fhis vocafion. Alfhough we are glad fo know fhaf Read is really sfarfing on his walk of life, we hafe fo have him leave our midsf.

To ourselves we say: There goes a real friend and a frue lvlanhaffan man. 204 l made N he we fhe ru me-nfs II SXplor of fhe PUShec Gffracl Vi him, Silidund and sir life, mfg
