It seems to he a tradition of the Deetjen family to make srevesses of its sons in School. Carl, the lust of 3 wt of three, has certainly upheld this tradition in every detail. For instance, in football and baseball he is most excellent and when it comes to swimming he is absolutely without an equal. ttDeetjii is also good in his studies for he in- variably gets on the Honor Roll and once in a while even has his name read out as a member of the 4All A Club.H He has been in the Rostrum Debating Society for several years. which, of course, leads us to CollChIdC that he has considA erable ability as a speaker, Carl is undecided as to which College he is going but Ht present thinks he will end up in Cornell. XVhether there or elsewhere we are sure he will make a success as great as 01' even'greuter than his past one in M. A. 23

As Lincoln would say, it is altogether fitting and proper that Howard Cunningham, the boy pugilist 0f Ye Ackey, should follow Cruz in this noble list of Seniors, for Howard and Cruz are as thick as water, and in fact we believe How? ard is the thicker 0f the two, Outside of his living on the western coast of U. S. A. with all the movie beauties we are not in the least bit jealous of llCLmningW for even though he has handled the Liberty 1402111 Subscriptions and the RiHe Club in a manner in which most of us could not, he yet has that pugilistie habit, and in fact, Cunningham often takes a few falls out of White and Craig before retiring for the night. llHowyll has been one of the mainstays 0f the Yeare Booke Board and we wish him the best of luck and know that he will make good at Cornell. 22

DeGress is a new fellow this year, hailing from Stevens Prep. He is also one of those fellows who enable the Public Service Trolley cars to continue running by the deposit 01 a nickel before and after school every day. His chief in- terest in school is on Tuesdays and Thursdays when we have drill. His sterling patriotism is shown in his eagerness and diligence in preparing himself to be ready when the time comes for him to answer the call of Liberty. He is also a good marksman, holding a prominent place on the Rifle Team, and the Forum counts him as one of its illustrious members. Athletics do not greatly interest our friend from Glen Ridge, although he played on the scrubs in football and was also on the second basketball team. Next year he is going to Stevens and we hope that nothing may ever hinder him from obtaining the best that this In- stitute has to offer. May you ever cherish, DeGress, a feeling that your short sojourn at M. A. has hound you by strong ties of companionship to the fellows of. '18.
