He is faculty ad- visor of the Rensselaerien. He is frequently seen cross- ing the river in his Love Chariot. RUTH CLENDENIN A. B., Oberlin College. Botany. The class of '25 owe their success to their sponsor, Miss Clendenin, who has been a faithful advisor. She is very congenial with all the stu- dents and never hesitates to join in the activities.

History. A Mr. Meyers is one of the busiest teachers in R. H. S. because he has more pupils than any other member of the faculty. As the sponsor of the Friday programs he has furnished us with some excellent entertainment. Mr. Meyers indulges in basketball and golf but he is averse to the milder exercise of walk- ing to school.
