RUSSELL M. FOX From the frown 0f lzi: head to the sale of IliS foot lie is all mirtlzfleShakes- pears. Montclair Academy, ,19-,20; Bradley House, ,19320; Football Team, 19; Cap- tain Basketball Teamy ,19-,20; Rostrum, '19-,20. NE day during football practice, last fall, some one said, HHoly Moses, look at that guy go Ill There was Foxy, dodging in and out like his name- sake, and making the fellows Who tried to tackle him dizzy. So he flashed on our horizon and made everyone take notice. Russell made good on the football team and also showed up so well in basketball that the team deemed him worthy of piloting them through a very creditable season. But Russl thoughts and actions have not turned solely to athletics, as any one Who is in his classes can tell you, and his joyous whoops and yells can be heard resound- ing through Ackie on any Wednesday just after marks are posted and number 211 is checked off as being on the Honor Roll. Foxy is a staunch Rostrumite, and it is said that he reaches such a heat in his debating as to warm any cold room on a Winter day. tMr. Collinge would call this hyperbolel. We donlt know Whither you are bound after leaving M. A., Russ, but we know you will do great things wherever you go. 17

WILLIAM F ARNSWORTH rtMan was made for Sotietny-Blacke stone. Montclair Academy, ,17320; Class Bas- ketball Team, ,17; Sergeant M. A.

THE door of Mr. Collinge's English classroom opens at 9:00 and in steps a tall, rather dark complexioned chap who immediately takes his seat and begins to answer questions right and left, using that same popular line for which he is so noted. Who can it be but our old friend Bill Farnsworth. Bill has always shown much spirit in class activities. He made the class basketball team last year, and his efforts in behalf of the Junior Prom were so successful that he was made chairman of the school dance committee for the past season. The Forum, of which he is treasurer, realized his ability in social affairs and he was appointed by that society to manage its share of the Rostrum-Forum dance. We suspect that the real reason that he does so en- joy acting on dance committees is that he has the opportunity of addressing in- vitations to the many young ladies of his acquaintance. Soon after afternoon study, he may be seen rushing down town to attend the daily movies with et-U We understand you are going into business next year, Bill, and if you employ the same initiative there that you have shown in managing school dances, we are sure you will be a big success in the world.

RED Dodge drives up to the academy and a tall, dignified youth in a leather coat and With innumerable books under his arm, steps out and walks in stately fashion up the steps. This important looking personage is none other than our noble president, lVIilton Fulle. lVIilton came to us in 1916, and has always been interested in many activities of the school. He is quite an athlete, having made the football, baseball, basketball, and swimming i teams, besides being on many of the class teams. He is not satisfied with being only an athlete, but is also one of the most faithful supporters of the Honor Roll and a member of the KlAll AH club. He is a very important member of the Forum, since he is president and captain of the debating team. Delivering orations and debates is Miltonls strong point and he seldom loses an oppor- tunity to show us how capable he is. His ability as an orator can scarcely be disputed since it is known that he has already won one or two prizes in that line. I have stated that he is dignified but Major begs to remind me of Trig class and states that he is not so at all times. Here Major is often forced to in- terrupt Milton in the midst of a very earnest conversation with his neighbor in order that he may ascertain how much Milton knows about the log. of an angle of thirty degrees. Milton is bound for Harvard and we Wish him every possible success there.
