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

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.'.

AT is one of the live boys that started way back in the days of the Lower School when men were men and Seniors were regarded as lofty individuals. Every once in a while we hear those good old days of long ago referred to by one of the old timers. This fall Nathaniel made his varsity letter in football and in the winter he was a member of Coach Young's soccer team. This spring he decided to undertake the job of managing the Codasco baseball nine, and every day one may see him dutifully hauling the large bag of bats, bases and what-not all the way from the gym to the baseball diamond. However, once in a while, this immense task is greatly lightened, when he is lucky enough to rate the Slu-Mobile in which he transports his numerous odds and ends. A happy smile adorns his countenance as the miles speed by on his long trek across the campus, but the manner in which he misses trees, et cetera, causes the owner of the Slu-Mobile much worry and consternation. However, much as he enjoys this, we believe he really prefers a little tete-a-tete with Nlr. Hecker about any subject, mostly whether or not he's done the lesson, or if he is the biggest loafer in the school. No one has ever been able to understand who wins these little tiffs because, if Mr. Hecker is gaining the upper hand, Nat is likely to walk out of class, on the other hand, if Nat seems to be emerging victorious, Mr. Hecker suddenly changes the subject to some deep matter that is entirely foreign to Nat. However, he has had Mr. Hecker, as well as the rest of the members of the class, completely floored by suddenly ejaculating, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield , which he says is from 'fLockesley Hall . Whatever it is, the effect produced is quite startling. Nat has also been one of the old stand-bys in the Troubadour organization for the past four years, and in the last two productions he has had prominent parts,which he has very commendably filled.
