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.

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

HE old saying that Right is Might,y holds true especially in the case of the above gentleman and because of this characteristic Paul is very popular among both his teachers and the fellows. The honor roll and even the ilAll A Club are intimate acquaintances of his and a story is told that When he was in the lower school he carried an alarm clock in his pocket to the movies so he could rush out When it rang and get his studies done promptly twe hope this is truel. Studies do not mean too much, however, to Paul for in the spring he may be seen dashing around the bases or making perfect throws to second. Basketball also has its attractions for this young man, since he made his numerals this year in the class games. The ready smile that he wears, except When arguing in geometry class, is well known and it is understood that few of the opposite sex can Withstand the glances Which he turns on them. Modesty is another of his most noticeable virtues and if it had not been for the fact that we know him very well this . write-up might have suffered for want of subject matter, because it is very seldom that he Will tell about his accomplishments. Notre Dame is Paulls choice of colleges and the YEARE BOOKE expresses the sentiments of all When it Wishes him the best success possible. 26
