Rah, Rah. Ra-a-a-y Cooper! How often we have heard that yell from the cheering section when Dick made a splendid end run or caught a baserunner off third. Yes, Dick is one Of our best athletes and his favorite haunts are the athletic field and the gym. Not contented with captaining the baseball team this spring, he made a bid for the rifle team and was successful in becoming one of its marksmen. Dick has rep- resented his class in basketball, track and swimming and much credit is due him for the fact that the class of '19 holds such a high position in athletics. But he has found time for other things besides sports, being one of the officers of the Kodak Klub and the president of the Rostrum Society. He demon- strates his business ability by being the very successful ad- vertising manager of Ye Yeare Booke. All kinds of luck to you at Rutgers, Dick. 20

Yees, Stuutz. VVheeee-! NiCy-y. jones-s-s and Seagears-s-sj ! Such is the conversation Mr. Monson hears in the digni- hed halls of iiYe Ackey. Do you wonder who it is? Of course, you knew it was Bill Caldwell from the very First word. We'll say that a jazz record hasnit anything on our wild Bill, and believe us, we know. Billis chief ambition has been to win his M, and he has succeeded wonderfully, having played on our basketbally foot- ball and baseball teams. Caldwell does not forget his studies. however, and is seldom OH the Honor Roll. XViIliam has a mania for writing for girls school catalogues and iiHubbyh is beginning to see light on some mysterious names. such as: Miss Marcel Wave Hall, Miss Rachael Her- rera, Miss Ophelia Pulse Seagears, etc. Well, Bill, we understand you have chosen R. P. I. as your next abode and hereis the best of luck to you! 19

Today we found a silk shirt in our laundry bag and, as we doxft have the honor of owning one, we looked to see whose it was. It was marked HPaul Mellen Courtney. Since we were writing for iiYe Yeare Booke about the glorious Class of 19, we decided to tackle this youth of the silk shirt. Paul comes from that place up near VassaraPoughkeepsie, is it? He is quite a cheer-leader as has often been demon- strated by his antics 0n the held and in the gym? When it comes to tearing off on a mandolin, especially a banjo-mando- lin, HFishi, is right there with the jazz; in fact, we hear that he is Secretary and Treasurer of the Mandolin Club. How- ever, this is not his Only office, for he wears three silver disks showing that he is a captain in the M. A. B. Courtney was on the basketball squad and is also one of our string of pitchers. We almost forgot, Fishh is often seen in the ago- nies of ye hnervous fox trot and loves to, tell the boys about Vassar. Another one of Fish's favorite stunts is having his picture taken and leaving the prooi corrections for the never curious eyes t0 0f Ye Ackey dwellers. As one of its editors HYe Yeare Booke wishes you luck at U. of R, Paul.
