Out of my way, folks! Up till twelve-thirty last night but 1've still got my' French, Latin, English, and History to do! Yes, that's Dick Henry! A meek soul, he's a mainstay in our great institution of learning. His life consists of three lsometimes two! meals a day, live and three-quarters hours of sleep a day, and the rest one big rush. No, he wasn't out for football, but that was because he was playing on the squash team. Tennis in the Spring keeps him limbered up between exams. Ile happens to be the President of the Student Council and a member of the Illini. To keep busy XVednesday nights, he manages to preside over a Latin Club meeting or two. Although he sometimes comes to school sleepily, he wouldn't miss the Saturday afternoon foreign-policy lectures. Of course, Sunday he takes up his hobby: birds. But, then, even though he does have to lead Audubon Society bird-walks, that's fun, not work. Real pleasure, he says, preparing to tell folks why a ehiekadee isn't a xyhite-tliroated Sparrow. , Perhaps you wondered why the Megaphone came out with covers the last three times. '1'hat's Henry. Between classes he generally nabs at least a couple of men for a half-page ad in the Meg . You guessed it - he's our Business Manager. XVhat's that, llenry? No delayed test in French? You know your idioms like breath on the yyindoyv-pane? Up till one the other night? The trouble with you is, you don't allocate your time well! XVliy don't you get up and do something! Youre going to Harvard, not Poclunk! Always wasting time! No. 1 haven't any pity on you Seniors! 'Q855'

VVe do not see much of Paul as he leaves early almost every afternoon and is cooped up in his study all day except during history. Returning after class wc End the results of his work and realize that he could not have been studying all the time. Probably the most agreeable fellow in our class, Paul can be relied upon to do his duty every time. He is a boy who really deserved to be elected to the Illini, and we are proud to have him represent us on the Student Council. There are two Paul Haleys: one, the serious student who so often has his name on the honor rollg and Paul. the prankster, who is forever thinking up crazy stunts to pull on his classmates. lLord knows how he does itll He is very active in behalf of the Megaphone, and of course his proficiency lor is it bull-slingingl in Latin makes him a member of the Latin Club. Last year, as President of the Dramatic Club, he aided in producing the best show Country Day has seen in a long time. Paul was a star member of all the athletic teams. until two years ago. when he was placed on the sidelines with a kidney injury. Paul is thc third Haley to graduate from this school and Country Day would certainly be fortunate to have another Haley to carry on their excellent records. 2575s

Beat it out in a minor key. -Ella Fitzgerald Born lVl31'Cl'l 28, Alnhefgt Football Team, 193638, Hockey Team, 1937-39g Baseball Team, l93T-39g Megaphone Board, 1938-39, C-lee Club, Accompanist, l936-39, Dramatic Club, 1936-39, Orchestra, 1936-39. Dick injected into this class a spirit of joyiality that remains with us yet. Always ready to do anything, Dick has proved valuable in football, hockey. and baseball. Dick does not, however, conline his prowess to athletics alone, but is the mainstay of the Clee Club, with his excellent accompaniment. Dick is the best pianist Country Day School has known. and should go far in music. Dick is ever popular with young and old alike, swinging or really playing the classics to please. His fertile brain relaxes from diligent study about once a week to concoct some especially brilliant plan to annoy Oedel. Most noteworthy results of a year in the Senior studies are marked by various doors seen on and oft Oedel's study: and Billy Bones expedition into the classics. In spite of this seeming leyity, Dick does get serious, and really does work. Dick entered Country Day when we had studied many things which he had not, and he has worked hard in overcoming that disadvantage. He deserves credit for what he has done, and I am sure he will get credit for what he is going to do. '4f596v
