EXT, gentle reader, allow me to expatiate upon the greatness of one William C. Reed, for surely his many and varied activities warrant the use of this word. llBillly has attained some amount of athletic glory every year since he arrived in 1916, but this year he has reached the climax of his career in this respect, having made the basketball and football teams, to say nothing of the fact that we have a second Mercury in our midst, as llBill outclassed all others in the second division last year. But he has not come all the way from Hthe city on the horizon for athletics alone, as he has reached just as great success in studies and other school activities as he has in the different branches of sport. As a place for expressing his thoughts and ideas, Billy Chose the Rostrum, and he has held a place on the Executive Committee, and is now Secretary-Treasurer of that society, the members of which say that he uses such a style in writing up meetings as can only be gained through long experience in writing personal. manuscripts t0-e ah, well, we have said enough on this point. llBilly is on the YEARE BOOKE Board, has been a regular member of the Honor Roll, and has held positions on committees too numerous to mention. Bill is bound for Williams, and we all know that he will do as great things there as he has at old M. A. 24

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

ROYALL SCOTT nTrue ease in writing come: from art, not tlzzmre, Ax tlzose move easiext who have learnld to dance? ePope. Montclair Academy, y19320; Forum, l19-l20; Sergeant-at-Arms, ,19; Varsity Bhseball Team, ,19; Varsity Basketball Team, ,19320; Oratorical Contest, ,20; Forum Debating Teamy l20. OYALL SCOTT! lsnlt that a kingly name? One might think he was one of the rulers of Scotland, but Roy is far from being haughty,'and is welcomed by all twe hope even by his brotherl as a necessary cog in our important class. llScotty comes from that foreign city Maplewood and often arrives in time for English class. Roy's footwork is a thing to be admired both in basketball and in the gentle art of dancing, while he runs bases With the best of them, although we have had little chance to see him star in baseball on account of an injury to his hand last spring. Oratory is another one of Scottyls many accomplishments and we are sure that there is a future statesman in our midst, although mod- esty is one of his Virtues and he denies any such assertion. Scotty intends to go to Dartmouth next year, and the good wishes of all for the best possible record go with him.
