RAYMOND A. EBERSOLE nI am a man of few words? Montclair Academy, y18$19; Forum, 18319; Executive Comm., t19; Orchestra, ,18319; Corporal M. A. B., ,19; Foot- ball Team, ,18; Manager Baseball, 19. One seldom finds two talentedyouths in the same family but it seems to be so in the case of the Ebersoles. Ray, the youth from the Pacific Isle, leaped into prominence when he went out to chase the elusive pigskin, never having played the game before, and made the Varsity. Ray is atrather quiet fellow and seldom has much to say but when he does it is well worth hearing. He was appointed baseball manager and all of us who heard his talk at the baseball rally know he will make a success of it. You surely are a business man Hrst and Past, Ray, and we predict that you,11 be a millionaire some day. He also delights LU us by his playing on the Vio- lin. Just look at the picture of the orchestra and youtll see him, and the Violin we mentioned, in the back row. Although Ray Claims he prefers the U. S. to Hawaii, we have oft seen a dreamy 100k come into his eyes, and the wise ones among us know that he is pining for the hula hula mai- dens and the beach at Waikiki. Here,s wishing you all kinds of luck at Cornell, Ray. 24

HAROLD LEON EBERSOLE iYoung in limbs, in judgment 01d? Montclair Academy, y18319; Oratoricai Contest, y19; Kodak Klub, 18319; Dramatic Club, 18119; President Orchestra, ,18119; Forum, i18-i19; Treasurer, Forumy 19; Forum De- bating Team, ,19; Basketball Team, 18319; Baseball Team, ,19. Huck hails from the land of the grass skirt and the hula hula and as a result spends many hours strumming the ukelele and guitar. The great disappointment of his life is that he failed to introduce jazz into Montclair Academy. For many months his plea was heard for a jazz orchestra, which did not mate- rialize. As president of the school orchestra he worked very diligently to make the organization a success. Although he is not an amphibian, as we might have supposed, he has proved himself a good athlete by his clever work at center on the basketball court and as a member of the baseball team. But do not mistake meehis time is not all spent at play. His name is always found among those on the Honor Roll and often the tiAlI A Club? We must not forget his oratorical abilis ties. A11 remember his excellent oration in the Oratorical Contest, and in Forum meetingsaby the wayy he was treas- urer the last termahe is always ready to raise his voice in heated argument. Huck has selected Cornell as the college of his choice and we expect big things from him there. 23

R. EARLE FIELDING HI keep close to my business. Montclair Academy, l15-l19; Rifle Club, 16318; Forum, 17- ,19; Chess Club, ,19; Class Rifle Team, ,17318; RiHe Team, 19. September, 1915, will always remain notable for having ushered into M. A. the class without peer. Caught in the whirlpool of such magnificence came a quite unassuming chap, Earle Fielding by name. Earle seldom speaks and does not participate in athletics with the result that we cannot say much about him except this, that he is certainly llthere with school spirit in watching the games and is a staunch. member of the Rifle Club. He is also an earnest worker in the Forum Society, being present at all the meetings and taking an in- terest in debating. we think we remember Fielding's saying once that he would rather work on an algebra problem than ezit, but as we have been present at some of his noon meals we think it would have to be some problem. Earle fiies back and forth to Glen Ridge daily on his motor- wheel and tinkering with it probably gave him the inspiration to take up engineering as his profession. Fielding has an aim in life, to enter Stevens next fall, and we know he will hit the bullls eye in this attempt also. 25
