THE JOURNAL Who's Who and Why. HE class of 1922 hereby brings forth its list of Green-Book - eligibles together with notation of certain popular opinions. These facts and fancies were all properly determined by official ballots cast by the members of the Board. Who of the class of 1922 is the most popular with the fellows? There's no doubt Cushing Certy Ryan wins by a mile. Who is the most popular with the ladies? Lots of competition for this honor! However, they say Bfeauteousj Young has smashed many a little heart in his time and is still in the game. Who is our biggest dub! Nine tenths of the fellows claim this honor for themselves. Who is our arrow collar ad representative? Dinty Day. Our best athlete? Flip a jit between Atble-bodiedj Higginbotham and Mfightyj Cohen. Our Beau Brummell? Mr. Blake wins without disturbing a hair. Our worst athlete? It's said that Gfracefulj Rowland started across the common as the Winthrop Street Car was leaving Weir Street ---- and lost it. Our best dancer? Efxperiencedj Pepper wins by a landslide vote. What's our indoor sport? Why, how human they are after all! By those family firesides Cminus most of the familyl and-Oh! Man!!! What's our wildest ambition? What could be Wilder than a dream of graduating some day? Some few expressed rather tame desires like inheriting a million or getting married. 81

THE JOURNAL . We received some instruction in the duties of a sentinel, and preceding the next social function of the season, which was held on the evening -of' Feburary 17th, the ceremony of formal Guard Mounting was perforrnedt The days just before the prize drill of April 26th were spent in prac- tising the various movements incident to riot and battalion drill, while the time after this was distributed among Butt's manual, extended ordi drill, and street parade. The captains have begun to whip their compi nies into shape in expectation of June 9th. The freshmen do calisthenii in preparation for the exhibition for the benefit of the eighth-gradeboys. The seniors are planning to do some work in the shooting gallery. We may well credit the high status of our organization to the untiring efforts of our instructor, Major Norris O. Danforth. The Cadets have become a vital part of our school activities and have set a standard for neigh- boring cities. The benefits of this training vary directly with the enthu- siasmnof the individual, and when there is a whole-hearted cooperation on his part, each man will improve his physique, and will develop those qualities which are the result of discipline-poise, self-confidence, self-control, and obedience. If in any man this has been accomplished . . . . 1 this year, we shall have achieved something of our purpose, that is, make MEN. ' I v 4 so i I '-- . I K ' ' A V - .
