MALCOLM F . CLEARY lsMa-li, Montclait Academy, 19321; Forum, ,19321; Secretary, ,20; Football Squad, ,20; Assistant Advertising Manager Ye Yeare Booke, y20; Dramatic Club, ,20- y21; Senior Dance Committee, 20321. NE day, two years ago, I was standing on the corner of Bloomfield Ave- nue and Park Street when suddenly I saw a fat little boy With a big red apple running up'Bloomfield Avenue, a policeman and another man whom I presumed to be a fruit vender in close pursuit. The boy seemed to be gaine ing a little, when he did a fatal thing, he turned around to look at his pur- suers. In that second he ran into a tall thin man and they both fell to the pavement With a resounding thump. By this time the policeman and the fruit vender had arrived at the scene of trouble. A crowd quickly gathered, and I hastened to join it. Now Whom do you suppose the fat little boy with the big red apple was? Poots! who would have thought it! And the tall thin man with whom he collided was Mr. Garrison. Garry paid the irate fruit vender for the pilfered apple, and Cleary was so grateful that he promptly decided to leave the High School and came up to us. NIal has accomplished quite a lot since that hot fall day two years ago. Last fall he made the second team in football and it was through his efforts that the 1920 YE YEARE BOOKE secured so many advertisements. Just now Cleary is dividing his time between the Senior Dance Committee and the Dramatic Club. Next year will find Cleary in business. It is said that to become Justice of the Peace will be his endeavor. Mispah, Poots old dear! 20

MICHAEL CALLOW teMikell Montelair Academy, y20321; Walden House, i20-i21; Football Team, iZO; Bas- ket Ball Team, ,21; Honor Committee, 2021; Rostrum, 2021; President of the Rostrum, y21; Treasurer of Senior Class. '20321; Senior Pin Committee, y20321. h$ ENI, VIDI, VlCI ; if Caesar had a right to this, how much more right has Callow, for surely he has come, has seen and has conquered. 'iCaF7 has gained the presidency of the Rostrum due to his ability to orate and expatiate on such subjects as the h'Mormons. In his conquest, he has also gained the coveted foot ball M and his expedition to annex a basketball letter has proved a great success. You may he sure that iiMikeiy has the tra- ditional, open and frank Western countenance, because in his first month of school he was elected class treasurer on his face value. Mike's ability does not all lie in oratorical and athletic lines, as his name often graces the famous honor roll. He spends many an hour toiling away in chemistry lab, solving the intricate actions and reactions. Mike expects to go to Lehigh next year, and we hope he will conquer that institution as easily and as well as he has M. A.

DONALD CONARD Don Montclair Academy, 20321; Walden House, y20321; Chemistry Club, l21. W15! Lived Id? , L H 7 ERTH AMBOY has always been more or less of a joke to us, but since it sent Conard here our opinion has been entirely changed. The fact that this city has one of the largest chemical factories of the world in it, seems to inspire at least one of its inhabitants. Conard can always be found in Mr. Millerls fourth period chemistry class. He is also seen at all of the meetings of the Academy's Chemistry Club of which he is a member. Conard has a steady job of delivering the write ups of the various games to Newark papers and making sure that they get a place in the papers. None of us have been able to find a reason for Conardls not joining either one of our debating societies as he is perfectly able to get up and articu- late. He gave us an after dinner speech one Friday night, in Which he told a very funny story about some of his burglar friends. Evidently Conard is quite popular with the girls around home, as the memory of the one he brought to the first dance is still with us. May the business world bend before you, Conard. 21
