SAUL HARRIS ' ' SILL ' ' Stamford, New York Time is too short to be spent in useless talking. Baseball '24, '25, '26. Basket Ball '24, '25, '26, Saul shuffled in with us in 1923, and quietly took his seat among the rest in the front of the chapel. He isn't ambit- ious but always manages to pull thru in the finals. Saul has a very strong personality which makes him liked by every one. He is shy and exceedingly quiet, but on the ath- letic field his quietness is in the background. He is always out for blood in these games, and for this reason many games have fallen to S. S. Saul, next year, will take up his studies at Columbia where we all know he will continue in his good scholastic and athletic standings. WILLIAM MELROSE HARPER I K ! West Harpersfield, New York Basket ball '26, member T. O. R. A. Melrose started his high school career at Stamford Semin- ary as a Freshman. He remained quite bashful and petit throughout his first year. His second and third years of high school were spent at Davenport. At the beginning of this year we had Harp with us again. When the call for basket ball men was given Harp was among the first to respond. He played a good game the entire season by exhibiting his skill on making baskets. Harp was with us on our Washington trip and did his part to make the trip a happy event in our years of high school. He was singing Bye Bye My Caroline when we left for Washington and as we were nearing home he started. singing, I'll Be With You.
