ILL,S joviality and good-nature have won him the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. He continually wears a large, pleas- ant smile, and his uncontrollable mirth has even been known to accom- plish the almost impossible disruption of one of Mr. Scott's classes. In spite of his joviality, Bill has managed to get good grades in his studies, always with the least possible amount of work. When unpre- pared he talks for long periods of time about an entirely different sub- ject, and when the master stops him, he looks so hurt and innocent that the master actually feels guilty of asking him a wrong question. In sports, however, Billy Boy shows a remarkable reversal of form. In his forte, soccer, he is all seriousness and energy, as attested by his high scoring record. Bill's hobbies are varied and numerous. I-Ie is quite fond of speedboat racing, and he himself modestly asserted that he would have won the last race if the boat hadn,t sunk. Because he figured that racing was too dangerous, he lately took up flying. No one has yet dared to go up with him. Bill has applied very ably his favorite hobby, pho- tography, to both the N ews and the Albanian, although he once spent two and one-half hectic hours photographing the entire Sixth Form and then discovered that he had no film in his camera. Bill's imitations of all those he has photographed are classic and make even the object of his impersonations roar with laughter. His talents, both real and ersatz, are bound to make an impression on Washington and Lee next fall.

Unfortunately Carl's marks have not matched the brilliance of his attire, and his years of study under Mr. Ruge in English IV have become School tradition. Nevertheless, Carl has passed all his courses-if not in one year, at least in two or three- with a hearty keep on plugging' from the higher divinities. But if Carl's talents do not lie on the scholastic side, he certainly has been a valuable asset to the News board. As a member of the publication's staff for the past two or three years, Carl has probably been the best Circulation Manager the School has ever had. His splendid service has led the faculty-advisors to give him the gold News key-an award that speaks for itself. This spring he took time off from the News to sleuth for ads for the Albanian, and, as can be seen, the cream of Washington businessmen succumbed to his blandishments. Carl did a little dilettante basketballing in years gone by, and this year he utilized his experience as manager of the team. Evidently his teammates appreciated his services, for, knowing him to be an ardent pipe-smoker, they presented him with a handsome pipe at the end of the season. Carl's pleasing personality and unfailing courtesy have long marked him as a gentleman, and with a little agricultural training at Maryland, he should make an ideal gentleman dairy farmer.

ITH three moth balls in the gas tank, there was a jet of blue flame streaming two feet behind the exhaust, and the speedometer needle jumped from ninety to one hundred and ten miles per hour! Such is the fa- miliar theme that is heard at any gathering where KI. P. is prominent. Coming to us in his Second Form year, and except for an absence of a year in 1937, John has been one of the few old-timers to have reached the pot of gold. Though not an outstanding student, he has always suc- ceeded in anything he really pursued. His never-ending stock of astounding yarns are only surpassed by those of the fabulous Baron Munchausen, and are the delight of many a lower former. An unknowing soul would gather from his stories that Mac was intimately associated with the most alluring actresses in Holly- wood, or the best professionals in wrestling, but those who know him never hesitate to pounce on any who dares to question his integrity. An ardent supporter of the rough-and-tumble art, Mac has been wrestling since he Hrst enrolled, and made his letter in his fifth form year, but this eseason an injury sustained in football, plus an untimely attack of ap- pendicitis has kept him conspicuously absent from the squad. John has a certain way about him which enables him to fit easily into any group, and we doubt whether the memory of any other classmate will be with us longer. Headed for Princeton, Mac may be sure of raking with him our sincere wishes for the best of luck and a successful future.
