OUR years al Manhallan, and yel only lhose who aclually came in conlacl wilh Tom knew lhal back ol his apparenl lacilurnily and humble modesly lay a golden lreasure ol knowledge and a winsome personalily. Tom is one ol lhose enviable persons lo whom worry is a slranger, and who exciles our ungualilied admiralion by lhe unconcern wilh which he laces exams and olher nighlmares ol college lile. Il Tom had spared himsell al any lime lrom sludies, nine oul ol len limes lhe molive was alhlelics. Tom has displayed surprisingly ellicienl alhlelic abilily. The perlecl ease and skill wilh which he manoeuvred in all lields ol alhlelics was suliicienl lo warranl a lry al any varsily sporl, bul Tom remained salislied in limiling his abililies lo inlerclass aclivilies. There is one obslacle lhal prevenls Tom lrom becoming whal is lermed a social lion, and lhal is his complele avoidance ol lhe lair sex. I-le claims lo be indillerenl on such mallers, bul lhal air ol indillerence has been assumed merely lo cover up a nalural shyness. Tom will be remembered lor many lhings bul moslly lor his ardenl loyally lo his school, lo his class, and lo his lriends. l-lis unassuming, placid, sincere manner won our lasling respecl and admiralion. We hope lhis is nol good-bye, Tom, bul we do wish you good luck. v-154.--...V -W,-.---, .,..-Y ,,...., ....,.-.-- ,.,.., . . -. .

'YA, boy! is The +ypicaI greeiing Io expeci from Ihis srurdy naiive of Ihe 1 prospering Iown of Florida, N. Y. Inciden+aIIy, Dick is exiremely proud of his home Iown.

ERE fhere picfured above, insfead of fhe genfleman of fhe blond hair and high forehead, fhe famed Thinker, even fhen we would recognize Gene Walsh-medifafor, lifferafeur, leader infellecfual. From fhose expecfanf days of Freshman sfrife when we firsf came fo lcnow him -ludicrously garbed, and on fhe Chapel sfeps, declaiming a sifuafion equally ludicrous-unfil now, he has remained fhe foremosf exponenf of fhe medifafive arf in his class. Gene is well-read, an admirer of classical liferafure, buf moreover, one who appreciafes. l-le has a frue sense of values which so few of us possess, and if is probably because of fhis fhaf his opinions have been soughf confinually. lnfellecfual developmenf, however, is by no means Gene's only claim fo promi- nence. l-lis afhlefic endeavors have cenfered around baslcefball and baseball, having previously been a member of fhe famous Prep combinafion a few years baclc. ln fhe social whirl, Gene is found occupying a posifion no less commanding. Resorfing humbly fo French for a momenf, we mighf well sum up our characferizafion by saying, savoir vivre ef savoir faire. Success may be viewed spirifually and maferially. Gene has achieved fhe all- imporfanf kind: fhe ofher will follow. Our wish on parfing is from friend fo friend wifhouf flourish-Godspeed!
