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

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

JOHN CORBlN l lJawn l ' Montclair Academy, y19321; Walden House, ,19320; Academic Building, 20- 21; Forum, y19321; RiHe Team, ,21; School Orchestra, ,19321; Forum Football Team, ,20. ifl UST ask any one in school about the bloody Englishman who calls us blooming Yanks, and who is always showing us his English wit. John Corbin, for that is his name, has been telling us of happy England for two years. If we can believe his tales every one in that country must possess a mind far superior to that of the people of the United States. He was elected to the Forum at the beginning of last year and played a good game as ai tackle on their team when it was presented to public eye last November. Johnls pet hobby is his famous lcello; many times one can see Coach Breen rush out of his room and then rush into the masters, club, his face red, and his mouth frothing, from the effects of this instrument. We can surely sympathize with John for his fathers choosing such a place as Mountain Lakes for a home. It takes three or four hours to get there and the fair dame of Johns heart, contrary to the belief that absence makes the heart grow fender, often mourns his absence by forgetting him weeks at a time. Like all Englishmen, John is a dude. Can any one who has seen him on Friday night with his Tuck suit, striped shirt, four-in-hand tie, and high shoes, doubt this fact? Cornell is Johnls next place of abode and we hope that he will live there as successfully as he has here. 22
