AST, but not least, we come to our class fish and well known left end on the football team. Look in the pool some winter afternoon and look for a swirl of water shooting up and down the pool while everyone holds on to the wall to keep from being washed away. It will be llWattyf, Who has been captain of the swimming team for two years, and one of our most active unineteen twentiesfy He is interested in all athletics, societies and dance: at school, and it is rumored that he and Hutchison have started rival Hivver clubs so that they are deadly rivals in the Bloomfield Avenue hill climbing contests, though HWattyH says he can push his car up faster than Hutchison can go With all power on. Preston has usually spent part of the year in the boarding department, but this year has found it far easier to keep a week-end date while living at home than at school, so he may be seen parking his chariot on the back porch or elsewhere every morning before school. There is a chance, we hope, of having HWattyH back for a P. G. course next year, when many great things will be expected of him. If not, herels to a most successful career at Princeton. 28

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

SBORNE tells us that he became so devoted to us last year that he really had to stay this year in order to be with us again. Whether this is true or not we certainly like to believe it, and the school could not be more honored than by having such a notable person as Ozzie in its midst. He seems to have picked everything up just where he left off last year when he graduated with the class of 1919, and he has added greatly to his activities during the past year. hluch might be said of these but we Choose to skip many of them and mention his two most important achievements, namely, his being elected as third member of the Honor Committee and his captaining the Rifle Team through a successful season. Ozzie is probably the most envied fellow around school, for With his P. G. privileges he gets away with every- thing and anything. He is a high HmuckamuckH in the class of 1919, for at at meeting held last fall he was elected by popular vote, President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, and it has been urged that he, as the head of his CTass, hold a P. G. dance along in April for the rest of the school. As treasurer, however, he states that it would be impossible to make the member soak upu enough by that time, so we are doomed to disappointment. May you go through Amherst with Hying colors, Ozzie.
