Bob came to Middlesex in the fifth class. He has remained something of a mystery since For instance it has always been our contention that a person had to do some work to get by Bob has exploded this fallacy he does no work and not only gets by but with remarkably high marks anyhow' Take math for instance Bob doesn t bother to learn stupid formulas rules and so forth he just takes the problems stares blankly into space and pretty soon the answers come to him He led the class last year in 2A math but never even bought a text book In French how ever Bob has alittle trouble This is principally because Mr Bourqum calls on him only when he hasn t done his assignment Mr Bourqum calls on him every day Bob has been promi nent in athletics He played in the line on the fourth team and became a tackle on the hrst squad He has been a regular on the squash team for two years and an important part of the tennis team for two years and has earned a letter in both squash and tennis WILLIAM B HAWKS Bronxville New York Age 18 College Harvard 'l27l ROBERT F HARTLEY Washington D C Age 17 College Harvard 51 Six years ago we first noticed a well tanned and sinister figure on the campus I silent awe we gazed at his stubble chin At first we were frightened but then we discovered a kind and genial friend underneath all the evil trappings We called him greaseball or just plain grease In those early years Bill s marks were consistently high and have re manned at a high level for all those six years What we most admired about Bill was the readi ness with which he took up a new task or ac nvity He went out for football but had to stop when his arm broke During his winters he chopped wood His athletic skill was great est in baseball in which he earned a major letter He was also a capable property man ager for the show We have shuddered time and again at Bill s tales of his hair raising ex periences in the ew! abode: of Boston Next year he will be at Harvard setting up his living quarters atjim Cronin s - 1 .
