T is said that Mellins Food produced the above phenomenon of six feet four inches of athletic ability and mental talent, although Louiels athletic career has been checked early in each season by some unavoidable injury or accident. HWhy thenfy ask we, Hwasn,t Mellins Food fed to us, so that we also might enjoy the advantage of seeing parades and dog fights from Wherever we stand ? Louiels greatest failing is baseball and he may be seen trailing a baseball glove around school even in midwinter, while he cusses each new snowflake that retards the coming of spring. Football and basketball are two other accomplishments of Louiels, but on account of injuries he has not been able to finish a season in either sport yet. The Forum claims this generous portion of humanity as one of its most brilliant speakers, and he is considered one of our most reliable Honor Roll students. Also his write-ups about school athletics have appeared for several years now in local and New York papers, and we believe either a famous pitcher or a sporting editor will go to waste if he chooses any other career than one of these. Louie has not decided Whether he will take a P. G. course here or at some other prep school, or go directly to Princeton, but whatever he does, we wish him all the success in the world. 22

R EESE has been coming to school from Llewellyn Park now for a long time and in 1917 he jumped ahead one year and came into our ranks. This leads to the fact that hHutch is one of the honor roll stand bys and is a member of the most exclusive and envied A11 Au Club. The Forum and Dramatic Club can testify to the extent of his eloquence, While the diHicult position of advertising manager of YE YEARE BOOKE has been handled with great skill and success by our eHicient friend. However, do not get the impression that he is a grind, for HHutchh has been a mainstay of the swimming team for two years now and his skill in managing anything from Fords upward is well known. It has been said he was not born With the traditional silver spoon in his mouth, but with a steer- insr wheel instead, and one trip at night with him over the Paterson turnpike is enough to cure any nervousness felt by the accompanying person, for the victim Will have no nerves left after it is over ithe author knows whereof he speakethL tiHutch expects Cornell to be his next stopping place and we all wish him as smooth and successful a ride through college as his one here has been. 21

RICHARD J. PILCH Setret and srlf-contained and solitary a: an ayxterfleDickens. Montclair Academy, :13120' UST raise your eyes, gentle reader, to the top of this page and there you Will see Written a quotation Which expresses in a nutshell the chief char- acteristic of friend Pileh, for without a doubt, he is the big rival of Phil Hoadley for the honor of being the most silent member of our class of seniors. Nevertheless, When Pilch does say anything, it is always worth while, as any of his masters will tell you, and he has been known to make such Witty remarks as would make Fox 0r Turner, our school Wits UL look silly. As far as Pilch is concerned, he has deemed neither the Rostrum nor the Forum worthy of having his choice thoughts expressed therein, and he has kept aloof from all societies and clubs wherein it is necessary to break away from the old uMums the word slogan. Although he does keep his thoughts pretty much to himself, he must be continually adding to them, as evidenced by the fact that he is almost always on the Honor Roll. The best Wishes of the class go with you, Pilch, for a successful business career. 23
