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.

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

Look at that boy-Iike complexion, that dapper figure and lithe springiness of step. Then doubt that this prophecy Will come to pass. John may be the eternal youth but certainly his boyish exuberance has been turned in the right direction, for John is Business Manager of this com- pound of wit, sagacity and genius, which is popularly known as Ye Yeare Booke, and therefore largely responsible for its financial success. When John can tear himself away from his feminine admirers, he is most often found in the sacred p1ecincts of the Forum Where his youthful strength is brought into play as he fills his office of Sergeant- at- Arms He is the per-V ennial occupant of this office and never tires of disciplining obstinate members. The call of business is more insistent to John than the call of college, so next year will find him as Head Bookkeeper of that well known firm, I Catchem Sz U. Cheatum. 28
