Myles F. Herberf Glee Club 63 Review 4, 5, 67 Soccer J. V. 65 Fencing Var- sify 5, 6, J. v. 4. Myles is fhis year's candidafe for fhe liffle genius award. Every year has ifs liffle genius as an exulfanf succession of yearbooks will fesfify. This sorf of fhing, however, seemed banal even amidsf fhe enfhusiasfic banalifies of a yearbook. Brillianf made us fhink of lampy eyes and Walf Disney: impish was foo cufeg and, well, fo be safe, we seffled on infelligenf, uncomforfable in- felligenf. As if being Huncomforfably infelligenf were nof enough, Myies is a finished, fhough neu- rofic, fencer lhe fhrows fhingsl and a wif whose humor franscends more words and conveys ifself in fhe form of noises, plainfive, whimsical, glee- fully freble - - abdominal noises, gurgling moisfly. For fear fhis impish, gurgling Myles may seem foo precious for comforf, we musf add fhaf l1e is nof fhe liffle bundle of scinfillafions of firsf ncquainfance. He is more subsfanfial fhan a flame.

Bud wafches fhe world wifh whaf l am sure is infended fo be an safirical eye. ln anyone else fhis elaborafe irony would mosf cerfainly fail fo come off. Bud, however, is of sferner sfuff.
