THE DAY BOYS The day students of Rutgers Preparatory School have played a large part in all aspects of the school life. This is unusual, for the boarding boys, by reason of their close association with the school at all times, tend to dominate the school ac- tivities. The day boys have been outstanding in what is after all the most important school activity, scholarship. Three of the day students, James Arnold, David Beards- lee, and james Wells, were recipients of gold scholarship awards at mid-year. Many of the other honor students were also day boys. In the field of sports the day boys have been well represented. Ilohn Schmidt. captain of our undefeated football team, and John Kluey, captain of the basketball team, have taken an active part in all three of the major sports. The other members of the day group who have given loyal and untiring support to the various teams are Bill Harper, Bill Hasbrouck, Ed Kolakowski, Freeman McKay, Charlie Morht, Harvey Moynihan, Jim Wells, and Manville Werner. Some of these boys have played on two and three of the major teams. Many of the day boys have contributed to the success of our extra-curricular activities. John Schmidt is president of the student body, Vincent Kellogg, vice- president, and William Harper, secretary. Kellogg, James Arnold, John Clancy, and Laurie Farley are on the editorial staff of The Argo. Some of The .41'g0's reporters are also day boys. Several of them are on the staff of Ye Dial. Kellogg is the official treasurer of the Theatre Club, a group made up largely of day boys. Most of the day boys live in the city of New Brunswick or in Highland Park. However, many commute from such surrounding communities as South River. Metuchen, Rahway, Perth Amboy, and Trenton. These boys converge on New Brunswick daily, arriving by train, bus, or car, and are always loud in the defense of their own towns.. The day boys lack the opportunity for close association which exists in the boarding department: however, they frequently get together for lunch or have bull- sessions . One large group meets in Stollman's3 another convenes at the cafeteria of the University in VVinants Hall: in fact, one small group is so enthusiastic about the school that its members can scarcely tear themselves away from the building' but can be discovered of an afternoon roaming through the rooms seeking for some memory that they may tear from the walls and make their own. The day students of this and former years have always kept up high standards of accomplishment in all activities of the school. May they in the future continue to be such a worthwhile part of Rutgers Prep. Thirty-One

playing. and an after-dinner cigarette has taken a terrific beating. As proof of this, witness the new flooring and the other repairs that have been made. However, before we leave, we salute you, basement, for you are white, clear white inside! THE DELTA HOUSE Upholding the tradition of being the best and most progressive house on the campus, the Delta has added to Prep life two important contributions, novel to say the least. The initial effort was The Pioneer, a publication conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition of freedom of press. The magazine was accepted warmly. if not hotly, in some quarters, but soon passed into the Great Beyond, a victim of some internal ailment. The Delta then added to its growing reputation as the leader of the dormitories by proposing Home Rule. After an era of quibbling, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity were granted to the glorious sons of Delta. More quibbling. Home Rule breathed its last. In pace requiescat. Starting from the top of the house and working downward, We discover Rene Jagenburg behind barricaded doors singing A Room With A View, his favorite song ever since he was threatened with removal from the northwest corner. Next we come to Chink Turner, hectographer of Delta's brain-child, The Pioneer. It was largely through his efforts that the one and only edition of the much heralded maga- zine was offered to the waiting public. No, Bill Smith is not cutting out paper dolls. That is an airplane he is constructing. Across the hall is Ed Marvin. Why. Ed, do we smell cigarette smoke ? No, I only smoke cigars, answers Ed. Bob Reuter. who arrived in February, is the occupant of the next room. Since Bob is studying his Spanish, we leave him to visit Fingers Ridgway. who is still dreaming of the good old days when no one questioned his veracity. Phil has won many friends by his generosity: not only has he been a life saver for many a cigaretteless student. but he has also given many a boy a happy week end in his home in Newark. We descend to the second floor at whose head we Find Bill Clark and John Bishop. john has become interested in fairy stories during the past year, especially the one about the Snow Queen. Bill is making an extensive studv of the Polish language so that he can translate I Wanda Wl1at's Become of Wanda into that tongue. Next door reside Phil Messenkopf, that Trappy magician, and Bob Weindel, the Allentown pugilist. Messenkopf is in the room but where is Weindel? There is absolutely nothing to be alarmed about, Phil has merely vanished him. In the next room we find Mr. Stearns. affectionately known to the boys as Oscar. who can always be prevailed upon to donate a cigarette to the use of the buttless. We leave Mr. Stearns and travel along the homelv wav to the quarters of Dick Flynn and Ferd Ratti where Dick is amusing Ferd bv singing Ferdinand and Ferd is butting his head against the wall to see if he can take it. Departing from this chaotic scene. we arrive at the residence ofAnthony C. Gosse and Freddie Parkinson. Since Tony is engaged in writing a dissertation upon the vices of the human race. including himself. and Freddie is asleep dreaming contentedly of a Republican victory-it only happens in dreams-we depart for the lower regions. On the First Hoor we are greeted by the sound of a trumpet. However. since we are informed by Bob Cochran that the clarion-like notes are not in our honor. we turn to Hermann Mohr who is busilv engaged in burning an effigy of Friend Adolf. So as not to disturb Hermann in this delightful little pastime which we secretlv ad- mire. we retire to the den of communism and iniouity where we see Bob Wolpert hastily conceal a periodical. an action which is greatly accelerated Tuesdav and Thursday evenings. As T.eon is gloating over Ways and Means to Abolish Capitalistsv and does not wish to be disturbed. we pass on to Mr. Brewer's room. Here we are treated to the best coffee made at the Trap and we participate in a quiet little spelling bee. After observing these trifling idiosyncrasies, we can only arrive at one possible conclusion. The Delta is a madhouse. Yes, it is a madhouse, but we love it. Thirty
