 mk Howard Joseph LeClair Mr. LeClair arrived in our midst from the northern metropolis of Bellingham, Wn., entering second year High in 1918. after completing his first year at Assumption High School in the above mentioned town. Howard was born June 17, 1908, in the strangely named town of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Being of a likeable disposition, he lost no time in striking up a friendship with Messrs. I vers and Stunt ., a warm friendship that has bound these three young gentlemen together through school and which seems destined to keep them associated in many respects throughout the rest of their lives. Howard, like his two gifted classmates, has enjoyed success and distinction in everything he has undertaken during his school regime. To play a prominent part in Studies, Dramatics and Debate has always been his happy forte. He has been president of the College Debating Society, has won the Student Body Medal in 1924 and now holds in his Senior year the well deserved and ably executed office of President of the Associated Students. LeClair, like I vers, has taken a deep and earnest interest not to say a leading part in debate and dramatics. The spoken drama has been graced with Howard s presence, he having taken the lead in several of our theatrical efforts. “The Witching Hour saw Howard as the much applauded hero, while his character acting in several other productions has time and again contributed luster and distinction to both the plays and his own enviable reputation. Although a busy man and an industrious student LeClair has often found time to lend his official dignity and support to the College teams in their hard tussles with their athletic foes. On every occasion when school spirit and loyalty was wanted Howard was the man who started the wave of enthusiasm flooding the school. LeClair is this year’s Editor of the Annual and his unwearied efforts and original ideas in the journalistic field stamps the edition as the best vet. Page Twenty-three

' V 'If -»vS?L T1 X 1 i - George Randolph Stuntz George became a lively member of our community on January the third, 1903, and has always made Seattle his native hearth. Stuntz joined the ranks of Seattle College boys back in 1917, when, proudly bearing a highly prized grammar school certificate from the Cathedral school, he took his place amid the cyclonic mass of youth which formed the first year High class. After a profitable four years’ of High School work he became a full-fledged College man. His penchant for study and his ability to apply it, soon gained him recognition as a star pupil. In his Junior year he won the class medal with high credits in every subject. During the last two years George has been our popular and hard-working Athletic Manager. Here we must pause a minute to give him due credit for the remarkably able way in which he performed the task of putting his Alma Mater on the athletic map. His business ability and his wide acquaintanceship help him considerably in this undertaking. Under his regime athletic relations have, been established with the leading small Colleges of the Northwest. The crowning effort of his College days was the starting of a campaign for a coach. Now with the present year and his own College life drawing to a close George’s last work seems to have been crowned with success. To Stuntz the student body owes an unpayable debt of gratitude for the work he has performed during the last two years as Athletic Manager. In the field of journalism Stuntz also found a vent for his ceaseless activity, having been a member of both The Palestra and Echo staffs at different times. As we mentioned in treating of his fellow graduates George also intends to study law. At least he is well qualified as a speaker as is proved by the fact that he won the Oratorical medal in this year’s contest. Mr. Stuntz, we thank you for your great work as manager, and wish you the best of luck in the years still before you. J’aKe Twenty-five
