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

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'

'U' Undoubtedly the most popular fellow in the Senior Class is that little man with the six inches of hair, Howie Oedel. His eitervescent good humor keeps the entire class in good spirits. Howie came to us two years ago, and immediately joined the Megaphone staff and the Dramatic Club. Last fall, that tearing back who zoomed around left end for innumerable touchdowns was Captain Oedel, who had never played football before. In the spring of '38, he batted 1000 on the baseball team tin one time at batj. A'Pro'del they used to call him. This year, Howie wrote almost all the material which went to make up a most successful group of Megaphones . He stole the show in The C-host Train. as Teddy, the English detective, and it was as much Howie's punch as anything else which made the C. D. S, dance a rip-roaring success. Howie's character was recognized by the students and faculty. when he was elected to Illini and the Student Council this year. But 'tllowien has two aversions: The C. D. S.
