Ed's popularity with his class has been unquestioned since his Lower Mid year, cheerful and outgoing, he has been a member of his Class Committee since that august organization first came into being. As an athlete, Ed showed great promise until a knee injury con- fined him to hockey, but in this sport he excelled, winning two Varsity letters. His fine voice has assured him a posi- tion in the Glee Club for the past three years, but his talents have led him beyond the singing organizations, a vocal with guitar accompaniment usually means that Ed is somewhere nearby. But we will remember Eddie best for his courage in the face of overwhelming odds, wherever he goes, we know that this quality will insure his complete success.

LOUIS LONGACRE CORNELL Gamma Four Years at Taft Columbia In the four years he has been at Taft Louis has dis- tinguished himself in almost every field the School has to offer. His major achievements, however, have been in his studies: consistently second in the class, he won out over Ginsburg to become Hrst in his Mid year, then won the Senior French prize as an Upper Mid. But schoolwork has not claimed all of Lou's time, for he lent his talents not only to the Annual and the Oracle, but also to three out of the School's four singing organizations. In addition he played Varsity soccer for two years, captaining the Jay- vees and earning his letter as a Senior. XVe wish Louis the best of luck at Columbia, where we know his versatility will result in as busy and successful a career as he has had at Taft.
