Six Years at Country Day. NY time you invade the little dark study on the end, you will see vast piles of important looking ledgers and records and papers. And, if you are observing, you will perhaps see a little white mosquito buzzing around the books, looking quite as important as they do. The financial Wizard is Charlot, incidentally one of the most energetic of all New: Business Managers, who has piloted the money end of the paper through a hard year. Although Fred has always been exceedingly adept with his books, he has decided, partly because of ill health, to split his Senior year into two installments, placing himself among the foremost of the leisure class, and leading a most enviable existence, quite often trotting home early in his ever-present Ford coupe. But Fred's genius does not stop in the spheres of business, Fords, and loaiing. Nay, he shone behind the footlights, proving to be one of the main- stays of the Masque. Indeed, playing the leading lady with i considerable skill, he, so the story goes, even succeeded in coaxing sighs from an enraptured masculine audience. But the sighs which arise about our friend's seat in French Class, We fear, are of another sort, for his incessant chatter in Parisian phrases has shattered even the famed nonchalance of the Profes- sor of the Tongue of France, and rivaled even the silver-tongued peskiness of Heffern, disturber of the peace extraordinary, Yeah, I .raid mix. , . 1 i'.,, A ii.'.

Eight Years at Country Day. LD Fighting Irish has been a iigure in the class ever since the dear old days in Class Eight. Bob was class president for four years, and ever since has always been in some prominent position or other in class activities. It is generally con- ceded, moreover, that Bob is the most accomplished hot-air artist in the Senior class. As a spell-binder he is unequaled. In this capacity he was chosen Senior orator. An ardent devotee of the 'Kensemblen motif in gentlemen's clothing, Bob's appear- ance is generally a veritable symphony in brown. Many aver that he even attempts to have his clothes match his car. However, this is mere hearsay. Brewster's Hecker hat, an indescribable grey atrocity, has become a byword with his classmates. His firm attachment to this head-covering fit hardly merits the name hatj is beyond compre- hension. On occasion he has been heard to refuse repeated offers to buy him a new one. Bob, as acting captain of the soccer team, played brilliantly all season, and con- tributed a great deal to the team's spirit. He was also on the track team. In dramatics Bobbie has shone. In his capacity of President of the Masque he not only acted excellently, but he managed the arrangements for the play and dance flawlessly. Bob's periodical home-comings to senior row are great events. After such an immigration, activities in the Codarco room resemble a reception during every free period for weeks and weeks. Right-o.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE or TECHNOLOGY 1929-1930 Rifle Club. 1930-1931 Rifle Club, Cheer Leader, Varsity Soccer Team. 19:51-1932 Varsity Track Team, Rise Club. Seven Years at Country Day. TALL boy with a weary air slouches into English Class, drops into a chair, and, as if from habit, immediately falls asleep. Eatonis stupor is not disturbed by the class' coming to order and the beginning of the day's work. If it were not for the efficient efforts of Swift, his 'ivopori' would undoubtedly continue undisturbed. When once aroused, Cubby generally breaks forth most fluently, but sometimes with perfect nonchalance he denies having any knowledge of the subject in hand and promptly resumes his nap. Apparently Eaton restricts these naps to class only, for the wiles of the ping-pong table have a strong attraction and much time is spent in hunting for balls, and then trying to beat Blanton or Taussig at the famous game. On Thursday afternoons a French session holds forth in his study to which Cub proudly reads the Courrier Des Etats-Unis with much gusto and reference to a large dictionary. As quiet and unobtrusive as Eaton seems, we have reason to suspect he is otherwise. Masking his real self under the cloak of reticence, he is in reality one of the most formidable practical jokers. When a large plaque of pictures mysteriously disap- peared from a study wall, various conjectures were made as to who purloined it. Of course no one thought of accusing Cubby. So, imagine the general surprise when this staid and stolid Senior was found to be the culprit. CG 73 . A,V, Page Twenty-:men
