Now let us for a moment gaze upon and consider next year's seniors, the class of 1942. They have distinguished themselves in almost every field-ath- letic, scholastic, and social. Boehm, l-larstedt, Moore, E. Rahe, and Lltz are the most renowned of the class athletes. Barrett, Hiergesell, with Boehm and E. Rahe again, provide honor roll grades, while a goodly number of boys are most always found at social gatherings. Wise fools! At least that is the trans- lation of the word sophomores from the Greek. Surely the whole literal meaning may be applied to this class of 1943. Wise they are-in regard to studies. The monthly honor roll includes such names as Cameron, Elliot, D. Griffin, Neumann, and R. Rahe. As for sports, on the varsities, leagues, and j. V. teams, Clemmer, Finch, Farrington, Harris, and R. Rahe have more than once displayed their ability. Eagerness and high spirit characterize this class of '42, Startling, almost unbe- lievable tales have reached our ears re- garding the exploits of some of these Fifth Formers, as a result of which sup- pression by the sedate seniors has had to be frequently forced upon them. Nev- ertheless, let us hope that they may prove themselves noteworthy seniors next year. Now, as for fools, they certainly have a fine crop of them also, but we refrain from naming them through lack of space only, not from consideration. In addition, a word about David Elliott, the English lad, who in his first year in America has told us much of his native country. Everyone's friend, David always seems to be in a hurry, some- thing most Americans cannot quite rec- oncile with their ideas of an English- man. Page U'wenty-Wine

I The freshmen, whom the upper class- men regard as the lowest form of animal life, 'wee beasties', have displayed themselves to be somewhat frivolous and fun-loving. But, even at their tender age these lounge lizards do show ability in regard to studies, as Albrecht, Cum- mings, Hardie, and j. Wynn have proved by their honor roll marks. Most of them find athletics an outlet The Lower School as usual is filled with a never ceasing supply of school spirit. If ever a cheering section is wanted, here it may be found. Nor are the lower schoolers deficient athletically or scholastically, for they are well represented on the honor roll and in sports. Any afternoon they may be found, under the supervision of a mas- ter, hard at work at football, soccer, basketball, boxing, baseball, and tennis. Many outstanding achievements through the course of the year have also 44 for their love of rough-housing, for the class, almost to a man, is usually found out for every league team. Albrecht, Far- rington, Nason, Smith, Vanden Heuvel, and Wynn are outstanding here. Before, we referred to this group as lounge lizards, and rightly, too. Rarely is there a dance, a tea, or any other kind of social function that this group is not there en masse. been accomplished in manual training and photography. Envious indeed are the upper classes of the Lower School's frequent trips, which help to increase the scope of their knowledge. These numer- ous trips afield, excursions to the city, and outdoor roasts help to keep that effervescent spirit at its high level. So, with light hearts the Senior Class looks into the future, rejoicing that soon the life's blood of the school is to be re- newed with the vigor and vitality con- tained herein. Page Thirty-One
