Peanuts first saw the light of Sunny Mexico, May Slst, l59O. 'Twas there. under the shades of llopoeatepetl, that he com- menced chewing the rag' with his brother HhlCXlC2llllJS.ll which hahit evidently caused his tonlness for ehewing' gum. Aside from his chewing ability, Peanuts is right on the job in matter of attire. lle is th? chief 'fsprirtn of the school, and without fail adopts the latest styles even lnefore they hecome the fashion. lint it would he unkind not to mention the vocal qualities ot our renowned classznate. ,lt we but had a quartette, lleanuts would easily he its leading' light. for every morning one hears his gutteral tones, heautiful lneyond imagination, Hoating' o'er the atmos- phere. l'eanuts goes to Columbia, along with Contreras.

Legs is our cap- tain and he is turning out a erael:-a-jack team for us this year. ,-Xsiale from his ath- letic zuhilities, Legs is a great and extra- ordinarily suecessful CTD fusser, which, of course, accounts for some of his wonderful granzlstanrl plays. Legs is in favor ot l'enn. 22
