Cad cities during Spring Play, 21; Caxton for Year Book in '20; Swimming, ‘1g, Walter Harwood’s an athlete, you know: Playing ball he is never too slow; He aims for the net, He has never missed yet; Can you beat him? 1 think not, Oh no! HIPSLEY, ALVIN (Hippy) Spring Play. ‘20; Spring Play, ’21. Oh “Hippy” can make quite a noise; In his classes he often annoys; He doesn’t care for girls, Their eyes, lips, or curls; But spends all his time with the boys, HOLMES, CLARENCE (Holmesy) Cadets, 17; Track, ‘17. We have here a young man named Holmes, Who never from duty far roams, Comes early to school And neer breaks a rule. And spends all his time reading tomes. JACKSON, FRANCES LOUISE Spring Play, 18, ‘19, : Thanksgiving Play, ‘13; Glee Club, ‘18, ‘1 Friendship Club, ‘18. “Do-re-mi-fa-sol,” she sang; The walls of the musie room rang; And they shivered and shook When our Frances took Her music exam. with a bang. IRANI, BOMAN B. Cadets, 2 years; Baseball, 2 years; Basket ball, ! year; Tennis, 2 years, This lad though so quiet, demure, Is a live Techite for sure; In math he's a shark, In musie a lark; We hope that his fame will endure.

Seret. 20; Spring Play, ‘19, ’20, ’21; Press Club, 20, '21; Section President, 18; Sport Editor Year Book; I’ Club, ’19, ’20; Pres. ’21. This Granny's a gay young athlete, With lots of his brains in his fect; With his indifferent chatter, He makes maidens’ hopes flatter Than a pancake rolled out on the street. GOLDBERG, MURRAY (Goldie) Cadets, 18, 19; Track, 20; Assistant Manager '20; Tech Life, '20; Tech Year Book, ’20; Cheer Leader, '20, '21.

Honor Roll, 2 semesters; Spring Play, ’19, '20. J. B. Goldsmith, he’s the bird, Where'’r he is, can always be heard ; In Math he’s a star, And beats all by far; And of Spanish he knows every word.

Lieutenant Graham, that studious guy, Is tardy—we oft’ wonder why; Each excuse is so glib It sounds like a fib; But blackboards he'll serub by and by. GRIFFIN, MARIE ( Mae) Spring Play, ’17; Red Cross Play, 18; Sec. Presi- dent, 1 Semester; Tech Life Representative, 1 Semester; Glee Club, 5 Semesters. Mae's the vamp of the Senior class, Who chants baby stuff like this “ye-as”; She makes boys despair When they tell her “she’s there” ; For her heart is at West Point—alas!

Baseball, 19, '20, °21. Jameson hails from the Maryland line: In baseball he’s known to play fine: When he strikes out a man O Boy! he feels gran’: Another Centralite sent down the line. JORDAN, J. R. (Pop) Cadets, 2 years; Track 2 years; Section President, 4 semesters. Pop Jordan's a dandy young kid; There's mere than his hair on his lid: In cadets and in sports.
