er HORTON, RALPH ; Andover, N. Y. e : Although this is Horton’s third year, it doesn’t follow that he is dumb—far from it. Wf AV The one thing we most envy him is the deadly Wr aim with which he directs a stream of eating tobacco juice. It bespeaks assiduous practice. HOUSER, PETER 73 163rd Street, Jamaica, N. Y. Pete was our fashion plate, but left for an- other field in January. HURTADO, MANUEL Avenue Pino Suarez 3, Mexico City, Mexico. A future magnate of Mexican industry. Knows how to combine business with pleasure. A very diligent disciple of Terpsichore. Here’s success to you! JEFFREY, JOHN Jeff 517 Second Street, Dunmore, Pa. Jeff's only inequality is his ambition for vari- ous logarithmic spirals. A boy who hails from the swamps of Scranton, Pa., and who has made good. JOHNSTON, FRANCIS E. 217 Valantine Avenue, New York City Class Baseball ’24 Johnny came up to us out of the deep blue sea of sub-marine service. He has been going deeper and deeper in math. ever since. Johnny is endowed with a perpetual good nature which is sure to get him on the right side of any employer. 30

Most of us think, with a sigh of relief, of June as a time when we will cease being only consumers and start being producer-consumers. So that when we learn that Walt contemplates still more school and an M. E. at the end, we are rendered dumb with admiration and wonder, HEISER, HYMAN 9431 75th Street, Woodhaven, N. Y. Hyman, always jovial, knows his stuff and lends a helping hand to the needy. One of his pet diversions is motoring on land and water, providing she’s along. 29

KIMURA, TOMO 143 St. James Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.
