PAUL A. SYNNOTT H1111! 5mile i: mueetened by 111': gratuity? -George Eliot.

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

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.

WORTHINGTON l. TURNER W'hatetver skeptic could inquire for; for every why he had a wherefore.J'-e Butler. Montclair Academy, ,19-,20; Walden House, ,19320; Forum, l19-l20; Rifle Team, j19320. HEN it comes to knowing lla little about everything? without, however, the additional phrase, Unot much about anything, Turner is certainly there With the goods. We have heard him talk intelligentlyeor at least it seemed so to us-on all subjects from Dusenburg motors and horse racing to story-writing and Oriental philosophy. Our authority for saying that the words not much about anything do not apply to him, is that When he is conversing With one of the numerous speakers who come to entertain us, he seems to hold the lecturerls attention, on his own subject, above every one else, including Mr. Miller himself. However, Worth does not neglect his regular studies in his pursuit of variegated learning, and perhaps it is his keen desire to know the why and Wherefore of every rule of physics, and every calculation in trig., that has given him his Wide-spread knowledge. Where he shines really, however, is in the gymnasium, and when we see him on the horizontal or parallel bars, all twe can gasp is: nHow do you get that way?, May you continue to add to your store of information in the future as you have in the past, and may it bring you the best success in after life. 27
