RAVELIN 'S HARRY LOUIS JOLLY Shnops He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. They call him Shnops. Harry's greatest kick in life is to tease the senior girls. Did you ever see Shnops come to school any day in a week, or any week in a year without his hair combed, trousers pressed, and his shoes shined? What good is this world to Harry if Raymond Porter is not seen with him? A high school dance without Shnops gliding around the iloor with a new step is a very unusual thing. He has not yet made his plans for the future. Activities: Mgr. of Basketball 2, 43 Asst.

GEORGE JOSEPH LECLAIRE Uspeedu Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks. Speed is a natural-born salesman-he could sell an Eskimo an ice cream freezer. If Walter Winchell ever heard the jokes Speed cracks in history class he would turn green with envy. George plans to go to college, but work first as a dental mGChaI1iC. Speed is a good example of perpetual motion and has an automatic grin.

WALTER NORMAN LOVETT Nothing so hard but search will find it out. Lovett is one of our most interesting pupils. He is always doing something to further his education. Whenever he is not do- ing his math, he is reading newspapers. Some day, we all hope, he will become an editor of a large newspaper. He is just the kind of a person who would succeed because of his working ability. He certainly shows that he can learn things quickly because of his fast improvement in baseball, in fact, to make the squad, he showed that he can do things well when he wants to. He is very quiet but questioning. Because of his curiosity, he is able to get material which others could not get. Activities: Baseball 4. l 11 l

RAVELIN 'S MERRITT' HAROLD HARRINGTON, JR. Knute Let the world slide. The name Knute is recognized by every one, as he is Ox- ford High School's star athlete. He spends most of his time teas- ing the girls-however, they don't seem to mind it. He has great ability to think and make out plans, although he will not express them to everyone. I think you must have to get On the right side of him, but who knows, some day he may be a second Knute Rockne. Knute uses his ears very much in class, but he cer- tainly gives his tongue a rest.

ROBERT NORTON HELLIWELL CIB0bll His great works do bespeak his character. Can this fellow think? There is no problem that can stop him. Bob is a very determined fellow and when he once starts out to do something he will not rest until he has done it. He may be seen around a desk by the door at recess. Every time Bobbie can get his car, he uses it. He believes in the policy of, My car, your money. Bob certainly has a great head on his shoulders and we all certainly hope it will help him realize his one ambition which is to have a great big bank roll.

LOUIS MALKOWSKI Louie A true gentleman needs no introduction. Louie is one of our quiet fellows who does a great deal. It seems as if he were not around when all the time he is there doing his best. He has a knack of writing good stories when he really wants to. He would make a good writer or journalist. Whenever Louie gets a chance, he teases the girls. Sometimes the reaction of this teasing is too much for the girls. so he has to get away from that spot as nuickly as possible. Louie is also a good athlete. but he has so little time to do so many things, he just cannot do them all.
