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

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

PHILIP E. KRICHBAUM Wiggles Montclair Academy, y12121; Rostrum, ,19-,21; Lower School Editor of ttOn Bounds, 16317; Kodak Klub, 20321; Summa Cum Laude, y17318; Secretary- Treasurer of Rostrum, y20321. RICHBAUM is one of our most earnest students. Trouble is, he doesn,t study the right things, Instead of Solid, he is racking his brain over the Irish Question, and when he should be reading the speeches of Cicero, he is laboriously perusing those of S. Gompers, P. D. Q. When it comes to handingr out the inside dope on why peace isn,t, or how long Bolshevism will last, or some little simple thing like that, Phil is there with bells on. The chocolate colored mess of modern history is as clear to him as 21 Proposition in Geometery t0 N112 Debatin, but when Mr. Manson asks him who Dido was, or what happened to Aneas, he gives up the ghost. Phil has one little failing. He is far too fond of the ladies. Why, tradition says that he once actually spoke to one, right on Bloomfield Avenue, tOO. Krichbaum is going to Williams. Best of luck, Phil!
