lliehard Bishop 0 llerbert E. Brumder Dick Bishop represents the genius of the twelfth form. He entered the school when the class was in its earlier stages on Prospect Avenue and has ranked as its best scholar ever since. Some of us can recall the rides home on the school bus when Bish used to muse on some complicated theory of Einstein or Archimedes, and once he astounded his interested understudies with a stupendous figure concerning the number of different moves a man could make in a game of checkers. But Dick has his mind on other things than school work. He is as loyal a fellow as can be found in Country Day and several years ago he could be seen almost every Saturday clinging high on one of the goal-posts during some exciting football game. However, he has become a participant rather than a spectator. He has been on the 'Varsity football squad for two years and has skated on the hockey team an equal number of seasons. Bish has been a valuable asset to school life because of his loyalty: the Seniors value him for his timely aid in the more diflicult homework assign- ments. They find this source unlimited and usually untapped. Bish hopes to enter M. l. T. where they turn out distinguished scientists. so best of luck and best wishes to you. Bish. for a promising careerf During his many years at school Herb has shown himself to be one of the most valuable members of the stu- dent body. He has taken part in most of the school activities. and is never seen with anything but a cheerful expression on his face. As a reward for his out- standing traits so modestly applied we already see Herb decked out in a Green and Gold ribbon. Herb went down East to school dur- ing his junior year, but he missed Coun- try Day so much that he couldn't stay away. While he was gone, the school found out how valuable he had been, so both parties were pleased when he re- turned. When Herb is not busy telling the other members of the Senior Council how he invariably wins the P. L. Y. C. sailboat races every Sunday, he is gen- erally engaged in some very useful work. He has written for the Ledger for several years and has turned out some very fine articles. This year he is one of the associate editors of the 1935 Ar- row. He still finds time to aid the band with his stellar clarinet playing. Last fall Herb played one of the lead- ing parts in the dramatic production and proved his sterling ability as an actor. Next autumn Herb plans to direct his steps to New Haven. where he will further his studies at Yale University. Seniors
