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

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

GEORGE BINGHAM DODD He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon hit like again? Montclair Academy ,18322, Walden House 18322, 2nd Team Football 39321, Class Relay Team 1920, Captain Class Relay iZO K DECIDED to get an interview with Bingham Dodd for the Hooz- Hooi, in Ye Yeare Booke, so I hied me up to Walden :3??? House to find him. The obj ect of my search was sitting studious- ly at work in a room with banners among which was that of- Middlebury figuring prominently. The young man made a very favorable impression on me which I record here. George started life in East Orange, but came here to school several years ago. Since then he has been the hardest plugger in the academy. At foot- ball, track or studies, George is always there with his best. This year he has been rewarded by having his name grace the Honor Roll each week and by gaining three extra days at Christmas. George is a member of the Forum He is also an invent01 of note, having been known to formulate successfully manv plans for creating noise after taps. One of these, an assortment of tin cans on a string, brought him the neat sum of forty demerits but didn t 81' en drop him from the Star List. If it is Middlebury, as you say it is, Bingham, we extend to you the best of good wishes for your start next year.
