A is the Editor-in-Chief of THE HOWLETT, what other qualification is necessary? However, it would be unfair to him not to enumerate some of the other activities in which he has so honorably taken part during his stay at Marston's. Al has been a star backfield man for four years, a record enviable to the extreme, and we feel sure that the next fevv years Bucknell will have another backfield luminary to hurl against her foes. He has also played lacrosse for the like number of years, and his value to the team can only be expressed by recalling his election as captain of the '19 team. The back-room and the adjoining porch are his native haunts, but on special occasions he may be stirred suHiciently to attend a class or two, and when this happens, look out for A's and B's. Beware, fair lady, thy heart may be pilferedf' E171

The HOWLETT - 1929 QFYQYUQ GEORGE FREDERICK PACKARD Georgie Pack WILL ENTER sT. JOHN,S C39 Entered school 1915. Football M 1918. The sporty of children Jatiffy the Lacrosse M 197-8-19' the child. Soccer sMt 1 91.7-18. IN the course of Georgie's career at Marston's he has won for himself the honor of being the only boy who can ask the most foolish questions in the least time. In fact he has compiled his own volume of Ask Me Another, which can be had for the asking. This is being done to advertise his great ability and will last for a limited time only. Pack is Mr. White's sole Greek scholar, who, we predict, in a short time, will be superior to the teacher himself. He is studying the ancient language as he expects to become a preacher, and a good one too. Now, let's stop kidding Georgie and say something nice about him. He has made a great showing in both football and lacrosse, to say the least of soccer, owing to his speed and endurance, which is a great asset to any athlete. We have never seen a run around Pack's end, nor have we seen his lacrosse opponent outrun him. That is something few can boast. He is going to St. John's, and, if his plans mature, he should make a great name in athletics and even Greek. Here's predicting a bright future for George provided that he refrains from too much talk. Remember, George, Think twice before you speak, then say it to yourself. It's a good policy to follow. You have a great head,' it .rhozdd he on a marry shoulders. E261

The HOWLETT - 1929 Q.-976539 JOHN RIDGELY RETZER Ridgeb1,' WILL ENTER UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA W Entered school 1911. He that hath a beard is more than Track Squad 197-3- fmloufbf , Football Squad 1917-18. He that bath no beard lr leer than a man. Lacrosse Squad 1918-19. RIDGELY entered school in 1911, a baby, and unfortunately has remained so during his term of seven years at Marston's. He always, in his own mind, appears to know more upon any given subject than anyone else, but really is quite ignorant of the facts concerning it, and does not hesitate to speak his momentary thoughts without debating them with himself. As a student Ridgely could be one of the best, but he habitually neglects his work for some unknown reason, which even he is unable to explain. He is perfect in excuses, for instance, wallpapering his home was the cause of his not preparing Latin. We have slightly depreciated Ridgely, for he is a rather good fellow on becoming acquainted with him, possessing both a warm heart and the desire to aid his class- mates and friends. We are certain of his good fortune at the University of Virginia, and hope he becomes' very successful. V I will not me the bas tlaif week, but hope to get a hop. l?-8l
