M. R. HAMILTON '7 said in my haste, All men are liarx. aOld Testament. Montclair Academy, 17320; Forum, l17-l20; 3rd Basketball Team, ,17. hcl DONlT believe it, Major. Youlve got to show me? Yes it is our doubting member, Hamilton, who refuses to accept anything for granted. It is a good thing that Hamls time is pretty well taken up with his studies or else he would be continually racking his brains to discover the why and wherefores of all those theories which the rest of us believe When told upon good authority. Whether this attitude of UFm from Missouri,, will get him anywhere in the end, we are not sure, but the fact remains that it does not prevent him from making the Honor Roll. Hamls taste for arguing early led him to join the Forum as a place in which to further express his ideas Hpro and licon on subjects. We confess that the only thing that keeps us alive throughout the six long, weary periods of the morning is the expecta- tion of hearing Ham,s soft and modulated Ul voice ringing at noon through the assembly hall as he daily reads reports. One of the mysterious happen- ings in Hamls life is that he always disappears after reading reports and is next seen at the Washington Restaurant with Kleinhans. How and when he gets there is quite beyond us to tell. We wish you all success in business.

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.

PHILEMON HOADLEY ttHe that lmtlz knowledge sparetlz hi1 wordsfteOld Testament. Montelair Academy, iZO; Forum, ,20. F silence were golden we,d have a second King lVIidas around school before we knew it. Phil dropped in on us around Christmas time and immediately became one of the bunch. It was not long before he had set his marks as a student ,Way up near the top and he continues to keep up the good work. The Forum was fortunate enough to secure his services almost as soon as he had arrived and ever since he has graced one of the front row chairs at every meeting, providing the younger members with an excellent example of dignity and self-control. Ht takes a lot of self-control to listen to some of the iiblurb- blingsfii As one of the members of the first period English class he is Mr. Collingeis ray of light. Sad are the days when Phil is absent. It has also been rumored about that as soon as the field is in shape weire going to see a real baH-player making things hum. Best 0, luck, Phil, on the trail we,ve all begun together.
