TALBOT D. BROOME uW'e are all charmed by neatness of person. Montclair Academy, ,12319; Forum, 17319; Class Basket- ball Team, il7; Class Tennis Team. y17-318; RiHe Team, 16- 17; Tennis Team, ,16, 17, ,19; Captain of Tennis, ll9; Junior Prom. Comm., 182 School Dance Comm., 18319; Senior Ball C0mm.. ll9. Long. leany lithe and lanky are the adjectives that come to mind when one thinks of Talbot. Talbot has been with us for years and has seen to it that he spent as little time as possible in school after afternoon study. He Hdid his bitll by leaving school last spring to work on a farm and returned to M. A. this fall with a beautiful coat of tan and enthralling tales of piquant farmerettes. On the tennis court Talbot can hold his own with the best of them and his Lawford stroke is just like R. Norris XVilliamsl fso he saysl. As a racket wielder Broome has represented M. A. for three years and this season he is captaining the tennis team. He was a mem- ber of the Junior Prom Committee and helped in the arrange- ments which made that social event one long to be remem- bered as ua peach of a party. Broome is also skilled with the rifle and it is a pleasure to watch him nerforateithe bulls- eve of a target. It is unfortunate that he did not have a chance to perforate the Hun instead of destroying potato bugs. May much success be yours whether in college or in busie ness, Talbot. '

HERBERT R. BAER there is no place more delightful than ones own fireside? Montclair Academy, ,18319; Walden House, ,18319; Ros- trum, '18-,19; Debating Team, i19; Oratorical Contest, 19. Having gone so far in HYe Yeare Booke lets get down to bare fans. in that case our Baer would come first, so here oes. Last fall there came to us from Paterson a young man by the name of Baer. At once we began to bark up his family tree to find out whether or not he was any relation to our former illustrious ttItzaYi Having found out that his wild western talents had not been hitherto unearthed tfor meaning consult under Eugene W. Baer, Ye Yeare Bookeii 1917i. we rested our weary limbs and lea'Ved Uefo off. So much for the bear, now for the facts. Baer is a member and loyal supporter of the Rostrum De- bating Society. That he is a credit to this Society was shown by his oration in the Oratorical Contest and also in the Ros- trum-Forum debate. He also has frequent aspirations for the Honor Roll. Another thing we almost forgot to mention is that he is the roommate of the fellow whose name comes at the end of the Senior Class. Well, Baer, we surely wish you luck when you enter Cor- nell next year.

CLEMENT BUCK HThis was a man. Montclair Academy, t13-t19; Bradley House, ,13-,14; Walden House, 14319; Class President, y16318; Rostrum, 17319; Football Team, ,15317; Best Support, ,15; Basketball Team, 16319; Captain, 17; Baseball Team, 1619. Have you ever heard of the saying, ttHoly Smokeii? Yes, I thought you had. Well, anyway, it originated in the smoky city of Bethlehem, Penna. To prove that something besides slang originated there, a certain young fellow came to us quite a number of years ago and has been with us ever since. Clem Buck is the young gentis name, and believe us, he has made that name well known. Clem has been a member of the football, baseball and bas- ketball teams for, we'll say-no, itis too hard to figure upe well, anyway, ever since we can remember, and he has been one of the mainstays on every one of them. Athletics is not the only thing Buck has been interested in, since for three years he held the honored position of Presi- dent of our class. Buck is a member of the Rostrum, too. Clem has the advantage over the rest of us Seniors in that he has already had a taste of college life, having been in the S. A. T. C. at Lafayette last fall. Best of luck, Clem. old kid, and may we often hear of your athletic prowess at Lehigh.
