Well, you would learn a lot, for that is What our little friend Bob Cleary did and look at him now, the personification of efficiency, a member of the All A Club, and manager of the Nineteen Twenty-One Football Team. Bobts correspondence with the schools to which he had signed himself was of such a voluminous character- that the Post Office nearly went out of business. It decided to cut out Cleary,s mail at the last minute instead. That was the thirst which this boy had for knowledge at one period in his life. Now his laurels are taking him along, and it is said they are heading him for Dart- mouth. May this son of learning be shining next year as brightly as he is now! 24

OTTO MAURICE BOOS NSrwllns sing before they die; Jtrwere no bad thing Did certain persons die before they sing?

HENEVER there is any team or school activity not functioning up to the mark, that old reliable remedy, Otto Boos, is sent for and invariably proves to be the proper tonic. For Otto is one Committee, it makes no difference what you name, you will practically always of the steady, reliable sort that seems to do his job well wher- ever he is put. Football, baseball, Rostrum, Senior Executive find Otto one of the most important cogs in the machine. And after all, what could be a more happy characteristic than to be an easy htting, as well as htted, figure? Early in his career in this school Otto was seized by the enterprising Rostrum and since then he has more than surpassed the fondest expectations of his early supporters. For Boos can sling a Hwicked line,, about the wilds of Trinidad. Next year will find Boos at that seat of learning so recently vacated by our learned friend Mr. R. 8. Elliott, Hamilton College. Adios, nuestro amigo y mucha buena fortuna! 23

HURLBUT BARNES CUTTING, JR. The mildest manner: with the brawn! mindf' Montclair Academy 18, t21-i22, Third Division Champion Field Day ,18, Third Basketball Team ,18, Third Baseball Team y18, Varsity Football Team 21, Treasurer of Class 22, School Dance Committee 21- i22, President Kodak Klub '22. OR many years we heard persistent rumors about the football ability of a certain person, one Hurlbut B. Cutting, Jr. As Cutting attended the classic halls of another institution, we were denied more intimate acquaintance with his genius; but finally June discovered the error of his ways and forthwith re- turned to the institution of his youth, for Cutting was with us several years ago. Since his return, this young man has more than lived up to the reputation he acquired wearing the blue of the High School. That terrible ogre known as the Rostrum detected in Cutting a rare oratorical tidbit, and immediately swallowed him whole. Since that calamity June has been .holding'forth in the atmosphere of that estimable society. The Senior dance Committee also demands a great deal of time from this football luminary. Then also Cutting is a camera shark, and he never tires of attempting to rouse the lethargic Kodak Klub from the deplorable state of inactivity into which it has fallen. June is trying very hard to enter Princeton next fall and we sincerely hope he makes it. 25
