VVhether it be on the gridiron, the court, the track, or the baseball diamond, Butch feels perfectly at home. A backlield man who could toss the pig- skin far and fast, he was responsible for many long gains on the gridiron. As a star guard on the basketball team, he prevented many an enemy score. This, together with his baseball and track ability, has given him a high place in the annals of Perkiomen athletics. Butch plans to study medicine but it will not surprise us to see him develop into an athletic coach as a result of his training and experience. ln either case, the best of luck to him at GEORGETOWN. Spreading sunshine where'er he goes. TENNIS, III, IV, GLEN Cum, IV o be able to quote Milton and Cicero indicates the scholar: to be able to quote Tilden and what is more, to emulate him, is a still greater accomplishment. And yet, these are the things that Dick is capable of. His scholastic ability has kept him among the leaders. But it is on the tennis court that his performance attracts the attention of the spectators, For two seasons his flashy court work has been inval- uable to the team. Tennis is a wonderful game which provides excellent exercise and diversion. But the ability to acquire knowledge is of vastly greater importance especially in preparing for such a difficult profession as medicine. VVe do not, as a result, have any fears for Dick's success at PRINCETON. TQ., ,T ' SX- sf 155

The experience he had gained in the sport while there would have made hitn a valuable acquisition to our own mat squad. But an unfortunate injury received in wrestling at I.il1erty which has until now stulrlwornly resisted all treatment prevented him from taking part in his favorite sport. Being an excellent scholar, johnny found time to take part in a nunther of extra- curricular activities.

A plugger in everything, Ed was no exception in his scholastic work, for at the final reckoning he stood third in the class. It is men of such caliher who have always been responsible for the progress ol' the world. And we know that lid is going to continue to even greater heights at PRINCETON. 0 fl Q :SL x J' x -as . : e-,' I 2 K I 53

He showed that he had not forgotten any of his football knowledge for he ploughed and slashed his way through oppos- ing lines for gain after gain. Not only on the gridiron did Chow dis- play his ability, but he went out for the wrestling and baseball squads. ln both sports his sterling athletic qualities mani- fested themselves. lt is rumored that the ambition of our erst- while football captain is to be an athletic coach. We have every confidence that he will reach his goal, and are wishing him lots of luck at FOOTIIALI., IV, liASKlETl!Al.l., IVQ l3.XSl'1llAl.l., IYQ uniuvmrics, IV NOTIIICR lad from the coal regions. Of a carefree and happy disposition, Tyler has throughout the year consistently shown his ability in sports. On the gridiron it was Chubby who, many a time, prevented the opposition from breaking through the line. On the basket- ball court, as one of the guards, he kept the opposing forwards from sinking their shots. And, in addition, he carried his activities to the baseball diamond and even to the stage. His greatest hardship has been that these activities deprived him of many week-ends at home. But they were worth the sacrihce and Chubby accepted it cheerfully. All luck to him at GEURGETOXVN.
