V Barn: MAY 7, 1925 DAVID FERNOW Entered: Sstfraxtusn 1940 In the three years Dave has been here. he has acquired prominence in athletics and in scholarship. In soccer and hocke ', Dave has eapably held down the position of center for two years. The title of Biggest Grind, for which he placed second, accounts for the fact that his name frequently appears ou the honors list and the coveted ' privileged seniors list. Dave has more than held his own with the fairer sex too. Replete with his Mercury 19-il snappy club coupe and the two titles, Best Dressed and lIandsomest, Dave has learned more about triangles out of school than in class. Lately, Dave has been saving his ration coupons by not driving his car to school duri 1' the week. This gives him enou h gas to ride out to the suburbs over the week-end. Dave wiiltleave his drums home, when he qeavcs for Cornell.

This, or some other statement, made in Ross's inimitable voice, has frequently been heard at luuclt hour. Another member of that clan of distinguished young men who entered in 1935, Nat has since made an enviable name for himself. Of a naturally quiet nature, Ross surprised the entire upper sehool by his forceful statements, or demands, on the hockey team. His executive ability was demonstrated during his tnanagership of the hockey team. It was during this term that he gained his reputation as a slave driver, which his assistants will verify. His charming per- sonality, and good nature were proven by his uncanny ability to obtain ads for this yearbook. Nat will vacation and matriculate in the U. S. Army.
