JOHN ELLSWORTH SMITH JoHNN1E', Stamford, New York Secretary of Senior Class 4 Johnnie', came to Stamford from Windham in his Sophomore year. He has always been very studious and when he reached his Senior year he had the fourth highest scholastic standing. His dearest chum is Harold Raynor. It has always been thought that they are both rather shy of the opposite sex but then-we notice that Smith is the name of some pretty popular people.

It is need- less to say that Gladys has taken a prominent part in all school activities, including prize speaking and athletics. During her Junior year she won the first prize in both the school and interscholastic speaking contests. She has always been a star on the basket ball team, and by her skillful play- ing has helped the team win many victories. Popularity has been Gladys' middle name throughout her four years of school. Gladys has the happy faculty of making girls as well as boys do just as she wishes, especially the owner of a bus, who very often goes several miles out of his way to accommodate her. Gladys never appears studious, but always has her lessons and is always ready for a good time. HAROLD DEWITT RAYNOR 4'HARoLD Stamford, New York Treasurer 3, Joke Editor Camera fly.

Mary seems at Hrst to be a rather quiet person, but she is possessed of a sense of humor that dispels any illusion as to her gentle, retiring na- ture. She is always a good listener, too, and perhaps that accounts for her shrewdness and insight. As to her future, we decline to give a verdict, since all we can glean from her answers to our questions is, 'cl am going to one of LThe Seven Colleges' Be as it may, we count on you to be successful, Mary.

PROPHECY, 1923 The slightly elevated seats in the Stamford Opera House were grow- ing harder every minute-at least, that was the case with the particular one I was occupying at the time. The air was stuffy and of that sickening odor peculiar to Hmovien places alone. For fully ten minutes I had been sitting with half closed eyes gazing with out any special interest at the different items of the 'LWeekly Newsl' as they passed before me. Sud- denly I was surprised to see the name of our classmate, Richard R. Frame, flashed on the screen. He had planned and constructed a large dam which forced the water to flow from the St. Lawrence river to Hobart and Bloom- ville. The next scene was a model farm in the Himalaya Mountains.

The neighbors whispered sev- eral things about him, he was pro-English, he was very generous in giv- ing 'gfree rides , and his Clady-ola field was a beautiful sight. Following this scene was a spirited game of basket ball between the San Francisco and Syracuse teams. Miss Gladys Morrow was the coach of the Syracuse team. The score of 51 to 2 in favor of Syracuse showed Gladys' skill as an athletic directress. Then the scene shifted to a large hall in New York City, where Harold Raynor was giving dancing lessons to class of young ladies. This did not surprise me because I knew that Harold liked the opposite sex. The next scene showed a small schoolroom with our classmate, John Smith, seated at the desk. A Happerish looking young book agent then approached the desk. Before she left John had bought all the books she was selling, because he was too bashful to say anything but yes.', tu.
