Yes, Tom does look like Wally but that is only one of his many attributes. Bruton comes from East Orange, and he never tires of telling us about the beautiful young ladies who inhabit that alien country. Of course, we all take his word as to their beauty, and a few intrepid explorers have even ventured so far as to go with him to his native heath to inspect these damsels. In lines of' sport other than couchesmashing, Bruton has made an enviable record also. He was one of the huskiest members of last years football team, and played an excellent game at tackle. It has also been rumored that Tom will be a candidate for baseball honors, only rumored as yet, however. Brute is a big man in school affairs as well as in physical dimensions. As Chairman of the Senior Executive Committee, and Vice-President of the Athletic Association Tom has done a lot to help along the business of the school. Not content with all these honors, he has the distinction of being one of the schoolls leading vocal artists. We all feel sure that Bruton would some day rival Caruso, were it not for the fact that Tom has a bass voice. Union is the college of Brutonls choice and the school joins with the Board in wishing him success. ' 17

CHARLES EMERY BROOKS i iBrooksie Montclair Academy, y19321; Forum, ,19-,21; Third Football Team, 19. IND, or better yet, Gentle Reader, have you ever seen a disreputable looking motorcycle speeding up Bloomfield Avenue at about 8:52 on almost any morning? That fiery steed belongs, as you have probably sur- mised from the striking resemblance between them, to its rider, Charles Brooks. This gentleman is remarkable for several things, chief among them being bow ties of outrageous hue, membership in the Forum, and ability to make any engine go any time, any day or anywhere-to quote a well known song. Brooks is not noticeable in class, as he is too near the average or Hunking, mark to stand out, butewhen school is 0,er he and his trusty vehicle stand out, nay, run away from the common herd. Both are absolutely original and unique. It has been whispered that I. C. S. will be our friend Brooks, Alma Mater, but ye scribe, tto imitate F. P. AJ has private information that he goes to Lehigh next year. Good luck, Brooks! 16

HAT! Another rough-house in Ackie? Why how can that be? I thought Caldwell was away for the week end. Truth, like murder, will out; therefore, it must be admitted that Chet is doing his best to uphold the family tradition of being Ackie,s leading rough-houser. But the family reputation is also being upheld in both athletic and scholastic matters. Caldwell has been on the tennis team for two years, playing in both the singles and doubles. His play at end, on the football team was one of the outstanding features of the early part of the season, and although he was injured before the season was half over, he was given a letter in recognition of his work. Now that Chet has become a regular on the basketball team, he has completed a most unusual record, that of having played on all the school teams except the baseball and rifle teams. Caldwell is one of the charter members of the NAll A club and gives every indication of being a key man this year. ' And, now we mention, last of all to give it dignity, that Chet is the presi- dent of the class of 21. Can this be the reason why the feminine hearts flutter so when this great senior takes his afternoon stroll down Bloomfield Avenue? We wonder! Best of luck at Princeton, Chet; may you conquer college as easily as you have prep school. 18
