Six Years at Country Day. F YOU should see, at lunch or anywhere else, a crowd of highly amused Seniors clustered about an animated center of seething ferment, the seething ferment is undoubtedly Siggie, undefeated champion of all grade gripers and mark mourners. For no matter what an unsuspecting master has given Sig, there is bound to be a con- siderable hullabaloo about it, for Siggie is quite determined that he is the most abused boy at school, and endless lunch periods have been spent in vain rhetorical attempts to dissuade him. In addition, Barack is a most chronic pessimist. He flunks the College Boards quite regularly all year in frantic hallucinations, and then proceeds to pass them all very neatly in June. But, in all seriousness, Siggie is really a most good-natured and likeable chap, who is, incidentally, one of the finest warriors of the clay court that the school has produced. ln both spring and fall, Sig joins lVlr. Hobbs' netmen in what are usually very successful seasons, and in which he always plays an important part. The News will quite often chant of the way Barack beautifully trounced his bewildered foen, which reminds us that Sig is an excellent journalist, quite often covering the tennis matches. But We must not jump to conclusions. Sigmund has been known far and wide for a very mysterious and remarkable French accent, which all advocates of the French language swear is identical to that heard on the boule- vards of La Belle Paree. Though no one knows where in the world Sig got hold of such a remarkable twang, it never ceases to draw forth envious groans from his disciples in the French room. C'mon, Mr. Young, lez'.r get going. y ,tfrr . 1 ffrf Page' Twenty-two

V is ,iw , 4: f . year lN'lead, F. Robinson, and lyieyer were admitted to the ranks of the Class. Lemoine Skinner was elected President of the Class in this year and has been re-elected every succeeding year. 'When the Class entered the Upper School, it took a still more active part in school life and gained new honors. Five members of the Class were awarded varsity letters, one for football and four for baseball. Six boys represented the group on the track squad. Four members were on the Nfwr Staff and one on the Codafco. The Class had quite a few boys interested in dramatics, as is shown by the fact that nine members were in the Nlasque and eight in the Troubadours. 'Wheaton was the only addition to the Class this year. VVhen it was the Junior Class, the Class of '32 took a more active part in school activities than ever before. The Class was very prominent in athletics. Paul lylorgan had the distinction of being a three-letter man. Chippy', Robinson was the first member of the Class to be elected a major sport captain. He played third base and captained the baseball team. Swift, Blanton, Taussig, Morgan, and Strelinger had the honor of being on the championship football team. Nlorgan, Primm, and Robinson received letters for basketball. Lemoine Skinner was the first member of the Class to be awarded a letter for track. There were six other members of the Class on the track squad. lhlorgan, Peckham, Robinson, Swift, and Upthegrove made the baseball team. Nine members of the Class were in the Masque and ten in the Troubadours. Several members held important positions on the Newf staff and seven were on the Codaffo Board. During the first two years in the Upper School, the Class did very well scho- lastically. I-lazelton, Nfead, and Skinner were consistently on the honor roll. In 1930, seventeen honor marks were received on the College Board examinations, and last year fifteen members of the Class received a total of twenty-one honor marks. Charlot made a ninety-nine in Geometry. May, Taussig, and Thurston, in 1930, brought the membership up to its present number. As is to be expected, the members of the Senior Class are leaders in almost all the school activities. The Senior Class is one of the smaller classes in the school. Never- theless, the four major sports captains are all members of the Class, the Editor -of the Newf, the Chairman of the Codaffo, and the Cffontinued on page 1281 Clary Eight, ,24 Back Ro'u'fEwing, A., VValbridge, Primm, Walls, fllorgan, Becker, Ewing, N.

He usually manages to attend to his own business, in spite of the evil influence of Slu Boy and Ewing, his rowdy associates. Bill is seldom seen around school, since he is either seeking ads for the Codasco or vacation- ing in the South. After soaking up much sunshine, he returns home full of interesting stories about the young Southern ladies of his acquaintance. Bill did very good work in securing ads for the Codarco in a year when ads are particularly scarce. His ellicient management of his staff contributed a great deal to the success of the book. Bill's study is a model of taste. Few pictures of movie stars are seen, their places being taken by a simple college banner and pictorial calendars. An easy swivel chair, which formerly belonged to the Troubadours, completes the studious atmosphere, Billy's light weight did not prevent him from holding a regular position on the second football team this fall, and during the winter he was halfback on the championship soccer team. This spring he has turned his services over to Mr. Hobbs in tennis. During the year Bill became an addict to the water-pistol craze. The object seemed to be to catch some unfortunate unawares, and give him a generous dose of water, much to everyone's amusement. Needless to say, Bill's accuracy with this instrument guaranteed his own immunity. Now, one of my unclfr ha: -- Pag: Twrnty-three
