Basketball 3, 43 Entering Rutgers Tom, who is a very popular member of Alpha House, is a football and baseball man of no small merit. Although he is quiet and hides his light under a bushel, we believe that Tom, who keeps his ears open and his mouth closed, will go far. MANVILLE FOSTER WERNER HIGHLAND PARK, N.

THE JUNIOR CLASS Of the nineteen boys who are in this year's exceptionally large junior Class, nine live at the dormitories. The majority of the day boys in the class are graduates of the Rutgers Elementary School. Many of next year's seniors have not only been very active in extra-curricular interests but also have maintained good scholas- tic averages. Much of the credit for making this year an outstanding one in the field of sports belongs to the juniors. John Kluey is the outstanding athlete of the classy he made a marvellous showing on the football field, was the high scorer in basketball, and starred on the baseball diamond. Ed Marvin, john Bishop, Paul Brooke, and Roy Stogner gave loyal support also on the gridiron. johnny Bishop very capably filled the position of assistant manager of the Varsity basketball team. Paul Brooke and Roy Stogner played on the junior varsity basketball team of which Robert Wolpert was the manager. Most of the members of this year's swimming team were juniors. Bill Rudolfs was the captain of the mermen and jack Coad, Laurie Farley, Tony Gosse. and George Styskal did their best to make this a successful season. Few. of the juniors went out for spring sports. but the class did contribute Laurie Farley and jack Coad to the tennis team, while john Kluey, Ed Marvin, and Roy Stogner tried to follow in the steps of Babe Ruth. Of the boys with literary aspirations, the most prominent on the staH of The Argo were Laurie Farley, business manager, Roy Stogner, the creator of Saw- dust Sawyer , and Tony Gosse. our modern Samuel Pepys. Other juniors who worked for the success of The Argo were Jack Coad and George Styskal. Ve Dial also received loyal support from the class. Bill Rudolfs and Paul Brooke were on the editorial staff, and Tony Gosse contributed much to the success of that publica- tion by his hard and conscientious work. Scholastically the class has made a creditable showing. Immediately following the midyear exams. awards for excellence in scholarship were made to Tony Gosse, Harold johnson, Bill Rudolfs, and Chandler Thompson. Other members of the class have done excellent work which has kept the standard of accomplishment at a high level. With the present juniors as the leaders in the various activities of the school. there is every reason to believe that next year's senior class will make an exceptionally line showing.
