Ni Henry J. Connors, B.S. in B. Hank Brooklyn, N. Y. Cercle Francais 2, 3: Brooklyn-Long Island Club I, 2, 3, 4: Commerce Club 2, 3, 4. ND now, may we presenT l-Tank Trom Brooklyn. This many-sided youTh is The pride oT The Commerce class, iournalisTically speaking. Being a demon re- porTer wiTh one oT our larger New York dailies, he is To be regarded as an auThoriTy on anyThing connecTed wiTh The newspaper business. OT course, This employmenT was a mere sidelighT while he aTTended lvlanhaTTan buT iT goes To prove The capabiliTy he possesses. We could wriTe volumes on a characTer such as I-lank's. The haT he wore during his Tour-year sTay aT lv1anhaTTan was considered by many as The sTrangesT sighT They ever wiTnessed. There were also rumors consTanTly circulaTed To The eTTecT ThaT his eyes, like The owl's, opened only aT nighT. l-lank always Tried his besT To sTiTle These rumors buT we sTill had our doubTs. To be a good sTudenT and a good Tellow aT one and The same Time is con- sidered quiTe an accomplishment yeT l-Tank did all This and more. l-Tis cheery counTenance was an asseT To any gaThering and ThaT cerTain drollery he possessed gained him many Triends. We all expecT, some day, To see The name oT our Triend Trom Brooklyn adorning The ediTorial page oT some Tine newspaper. Henry J. Connors, EdiTor, would look very well ....
