KlCzlptain Dodd, who did you say he was? the fair dam- sel innuired. llVV'hy, hels that tall handsome fellow with the tin sword, standing out in front of Company Af was the reply. As far as build goes, Hansome is a close resem- blance to a string bean. The true blue patriotism of our fellow Classman is manifested in his eagerness to obtain knowledge of military tactics. Many of us do not realize how beautiful the ride from Montelair to Glenridge, on the P. S. Taxi, is on a cold winteris evening. HHansome claims that as you sit on the seats which are like downy couches, the sweet songs of birds are heard in the distance and the fragrant perfume of Spring Howers is wafted to your nostrils. t;We are inclined to believe that the perfume is more likely to be coal gasfl He is an enthusiastic member of the Forum and for two years has been a high man on the RiHe Team. His activities in athletics are rather limited although he cheerfully submits to being knocked about on the scrub football team. He plays on the mandolin club and has been accused by Youngman of trying to show his musical superiority by playing correctly when practicing a new piece. We Wish you the best of luck at R. P. 1., hiCaptnfl and are sure that you will never let anything short of success reward your efforts there, as well as in after life.

But Dickie is not a king, he is more than that-he is the glorious president of our Senior Class, and a better one there never was. For four long years he has held the reins of 1918 and for four years he has faultlessly guided the class through the sea of school activities. Dick,s athletic ability is known to everyone, and we all agree that it cannot be praised too highly. A good idea of his prowess may be obtained by noting the fact that he has won his letter in almost every sport of old M. A. Beside being our class president he holds innumerable other ofhces in the school, and there is a rumor circulated that Dickie is one of the strongest supporters of the Rostrum. After years of debate and uncertainty he has finally an- nounced that he may spend another year in M. A. and then have his name inscribed on the roster of Cornell. We all wish him the greatest succe55 there.

Committee, ,17; Liberty Loan Committee, 17; W'alden House, i17-,18. Doolittle is one of our middle-XVest boys, hailing from the state of good atmosphere and Rocky Mountain goats. Colo- rado. Since his arrival last fall, Frederick has introduced many new customs and mannerisms in the school, notable among which is his enviable ability to eat pancakes and his knowledge of mines, the former quality being distinctly Coloradean. Frederick also has the wonderful record of not having failed on a problem in Physics since the days of his childhood. In mathematics he is equally efficient, and we are sure that some of his deductions would put to shame even the great Archi- medes, were that famous gentleman alive today. This mechanical genius of his has led him to be appointed electrician iii the Dramatic Club, and his powers of elocution won for him an honored seat in the Forum. As for college, Frederick has not yet decided definitelyy but his best bet is Cornell. Best success to you there!
