HENRY HOUSE Mutt Montclair Academy, '20321; Walden House, ,20321; Rostrum, '20321. , ,1 ; KjtvPLVJi ewtnxr Lu, J. U ALDEN House? No, Henry, or as he is sometimes called hHen House. Why iiHen ? We-ell, we have heard that in Knoxville, his home town, he is something of a fusser. He certainly is in Montclair. Thus the name has a double significance. However, I think it might be well 10 change the subject. Our friend House inothing personal, House, I wish you to understandi has one undying affection. What is it? Girls? Nay, nay, Pauline, as it is expressed in the vulgar speech of the common people. Athletics, then? Hardly, although he plays the national game twhat is itU on occasion. No, this love of his is for, I blush to confess it, bulldogs. The larger and more brindled they are, the better he likes them. Dame Rumor hath it, tboy, page Mr. WooleyD that if a bulldog, any kind, is in sight, House takes refuge in the tallest available tree, and if it should he a brindled pup, he sprouts wings! He says so himself. Everyone including Mr. lVIonson, feels sure that he will be as much of a success at the college of his choice as he has been at M. A., and we all join in wishing him the best of luck and the least of bull-dogs. 25

In the picture it looks like a shadow, butskeep it darke Harry really is growing a moustache. 'When the light is right, it can be seen, and it is really quite bristly! In addition to his facial decoration Harry wears check suits, Wild neck- ties, and has the well-founded reputation of spending more time combing his hair than anyone else in all the Ackie. iSome rep, boy, some repU Withal, as Bill Shakespeare hath it, hels a sleek headed man, of such as sleep of nights. He ought to be. The bakery knows him well, and he is one of the dog wagon's most consistent visitors. He got the habit during his labors as cheer leader, and now, just as an excuse, he says that a tummy is more comfortable if it is full. I Harry is a bad man With a gun. He is the captain of the Rifle Team, and loves to hunt. He has not yet decided what college he will attend next year, but the school wishes that he may be as popular and useful at college as he has been here-no better wish could be altered him. 24

ES, Hazard, thatis Rollie jones; now your education is complete. Rollie hails from that distant state generally known as Tennessee, a state famed for its sunshine, its cotton, and its presence on Lesteris list of the 750 words. Although Jones has now been at M. A. for two years, 'he has never quite been able to forget Knoxville, particularly in English Class. He is one of the fastest men in school When it comes to rushing for the mail. It certainly seems as though the telephone company should elect him a director. since he has already spent a fortune in the booth at Walden. Rollie is one of our foremost speakers. He is especially effective on a subject such as the Ku Klux Klan. However, he is not the red-hot Southerner that might be expected as he is strong for Union. tThink it overL Jones is a tennis shark and may be seen every afternoon, almost, shaking a wicked racket 0n the tennis court. The Tennessee Shad says that he is going to Cornell next year. After graduation from that place he intends to keep a fruit stand so that he can have a date whenever he wants one. Best of luck, old boy. 26
