RICHARD WILLARD CANTWELL Describe him who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man. President of American Society for Pre- vention to Cruelty to Animals and Old Maids— otherwise known as “‘Pete.”’ A profound scien- tist and historian, yet his knowledge doesn’t spoilhim. He is the best natured boy in the Class, also the smallest. Member School Orchestra; Assistant Editor-in-Chief, ‘“Tileston Topics’’; Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Tor Sanp FIDDLER; Manager, Basketball Team. HIRAM KERSHAW KING To be a well favored man is the gift of Fortune, But to write and read comes by nature. He has simply got the “gray matter’ stowed away in his ‘cocoanut.’ Has been offered fabulous prices by brain-food concerns as an advertisement. A: “spieler’” when it comes to a pinch—can reach the remotest heights of oratory. Can look a girl in the face and never make a blink. A rarity of the rarities. They seldom come this way like him. President, Class; Editor-in-Chief ‘“Tileston Topics,’ and THE Sanp Fippter; Dramatic Club; Statisti- cian, Class Day.

LUTHER LEIGHTON LEE BOONE, JR. Men should be what they seem; Or, those that seem not, would they might seem none, Although his language is a bit modern and “breezy,” when he speaks of the heroes of ancient Rome, he is the original Auneas when it comes to reading Latin. Secretary and Treasurer, Tennis Asso- ciation; Football Team; Captain, Basketball Team, Captain, Track Team; Dramatic Club; Lawyer, Class Day. AVON BLUE, JR. Quit yourselves like men. He practices the above, although the boys do call him ‘‘Baby Blue.’”’ A firm believer in out door sports; a very possible mark for Cupid; but no “lame duck” in his bocks.

LEWIS JACOB STEIN WILLIAM LEONARD MERRIMAN I am no orator, as Brutus is; But as you know me all, a plain blunt man, That love my friend. Always ready to help a classmate who is trying to recite. He insists on enjoying himself, and is a “jolly good fellow.” Track Team; Football Team; Member School Orchestra. He does allot for every exercise A several hour; for sloth, the nurse of vices And rust of action, is a stranger to him. A hustler. If he did not spend so much time and energy on the Annual, we verily believe that he would explode. His Physics is excellent, thanks to the aid he receives from the lady behind him.
