The ardor of a true enthusiast char- acterizes all the activities that Bob ' indulges in, and is readily discernible to the observer. Gymnastics is a science lo him, and for hours he can sit and dis- cuss the methods of doing a hand-stand or a giant-swing. Above all, he finds time to play a joke or two during his stay to take the monotony out of mere existence. His frankness places him lii h ill our esteem.

One rule in the code of a gentleman calls for silence — at the right moment. Red is always silent, so he can never be wrong. The opinion of the class brands him unanimously as a nice, quiet, unassuming chap. Don is one of the mid-termers and expects to be with us for another six months. His upright dealings and his independence, makes Red one of the most likely to succceed in whatever he undertakes.

Class History X FELL asleep one clay and dreamed llial Kniglithood was once more in flower. My errant knights were not the common swains of King Arthur ' s court, but the esteemed Lord Faculty, the honor-bedecked Sir Senior, the ever-faithful Sir Junior, the powerful Sir Sophomore, and our hero, the humble Sir Freshman. Sir Freshman was ever so young and obedient. Sir Sophomore put him to great task and anguish; this torture was com- monly known as initiation. However, in tournaments, on the field of Watsessing, our lordly combat grounds, the young child defeated Sir Junior in hockey and soccer. Egad, what a grand sensation ! Lady Brown, our Lord ' s most esteemed lady, aided the boy through the hard- ships of his youthful life. Sir Junior was ever so kind and had a ball in honor of the youngest knight. It was a gay, effervescent Hallowe ' en party. In March, the young boy, who had by now gained some self-confidence, gave a St. Patrick ' s Day party for the entire Manor. The life of our hero was safely piloted through the hardships of his early life, by such leaders as Helen Schneider, Kay Baldwin, and Lawrence Harris. They were his companion, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The following year our hero attained the position of Sir Sophomore. What a victorious knight he proved to be on the tournament field! Now our young man had become quite certain of himself at formal functions so that he enjoyed countless balls and parties. Among these must be mentioned the Athletic Council ' s Yuletide dance and banquet, the dances by the various knights. Sir Senior, Sir Junior, and the new boy. Freshman; also. Sir Sophomore was greatly honored by attending the Lord Faculty ' s ball. The little girls. Delta Psi Kappa, Phi Delta Pi, and their brother. Phi Epsilon Kappa, had parties, too, that our knight enjoyed. During the third period of our hero ' s life he advanced to Sir Junior ' s rank. Shortly after this all were shocked by the sudden death of our good, kind instructor, Mr. Panzer. Everyone missed him very much and for a time courage to go on seemed to fail us. Just about the time of Mr. Panzer ' s death. Mr. Seikel and Mr. Machery, old and dear friends of all, passed away. Twice a week our young knight went forth into the world to teach young people how to maintain strong and healthy bodies and enjoy doing so. Many problems came to greet the young man but courage and perseverance taught him to overcome these. Through these first three years of his knighthood our boy saw the departure of many of his young friends into the wide, mysterious world; among liie first to leave the homestead were Anthony Veglia, Albert Lange, Marie Benkendorf, Anthony Ferrari, and Beatrice Abraham; secondly, Rebecca Karp, Razzo Carroll, Red Shaw. Jack Schlossberg, Sam Spector, Sam Einhorn, Philip Temken, Albert Obert, and Frances Benigno left, and lastly Ellsworth Boughton, Leah SchuU, Irene Sticht, Bea Rapoport, George Koch, Jean Rogge, Eleanor Jennings, and Zila O ' Brien forsook our happy throng. And so our hero enters the last strelih of ills apprenticeship and as a liigli and mighty Senior he plods to his connnencemenl, sharing honors and activities with his friends. He hopes that Panzer shall ne ' er forget him after he has gone and that all his deeds will he worthy of merit for his beloved school. Anne Gormley.
