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

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

La fa Tie Z W l HEN Delin was a li2tlle shaver, his mother told him that he would L? be a president of the United States someday. So youthful i Augie took her seriously and promptly got elected president of his class as a starter. That Was in the Sub-Freshman year. Since then he has had a monopoly on the job, until now he has i sort of got the fellows voting for him from force of habit and easily sweeps every election. In about forty years his mothefs prophecy will come true and hell carry a national election. August has a heart which is very strong chemically, having a valence of at least six. That is, it has the power of attracting and holding at least Six other hearts. But unfortunately the physical side is a little weak and it is only this which keeps him from a life of sports. As it is, he is star of the tennis team and captained the Rostrum football eleven. Next year will find August at Princeton followed by the best wishes of the school. 26
