NINETEEN-THIRTEEN-FOURTEEN 97 Herman Schwartz, Feb., '13, still indulges in Gruver's l9l4ls, and Healy s beers. Some booze artist, huh? Herman threatens to go out for water polo next year. U Stanley Berman, .1 une, '10, the youthful Ocliva, is still kidding lXlac', in the pool. Al Lelier, june. '13, claims that he is getting stouter. Skinny wears a 1236 collar now. . Sol Lasky wanted to know if he was going to get a write-up. Here it is! .Harold Hjisan, our alumni editor, is now at C. C. N. Y. Hal is still disappointed because the Feb., '14, class has not yet received the diplomas which he Ualmost got for his classmates. .lulian Bergoffen is now the athletic manager of the Feb., '18, class at C. C. N. Y. Fgerton Hagard, when last seen, was entered in the C. C. N. Y, track Champs 'XVe think he is still running. Klorty Abrams and Ben 1Volfner are interested in water polo. 'XVe wonder whether hippopotami can play such a game. Bernard K. Marcus, '07, one time A. A. President, manager of Harris champ. football team, originator of Harris colors, is now cashier of the Bank of United States. He has received his A. B. and A. M. degrees at Columbia. This is what a Harris man can do. Among the Feb., '14, men who have entered the realms of commerce are Beans Cohn, Leonard Finkelstein, Henry Goldstein, Miles Sherower, Lerrnan, Groopman and Rollie Raphael. Hochberg and Gershvin, the well-known !'Much Adoersf' are at- tempting to make the Mercury and the Campus their Much Adupesf, Phil Reichert, the Feb., '14, President, has written a line poem about the Red Cross surgeons. All who have read the poem declare it the best ever written by an amateur. Gordon, Brilstein, Fisen and Freiberg can be seen attempting to play handball any day. None of them has ever been beaten by a worse score than 21f0. With more practice they may make a better showing. According to Mac, Ed Karsten is a coming champ. Edu recently won the 220-yd. swim in the C. C. N. Y. class championship. Bid Wittner ftl1CHD-KKXIVC Want the 50 centsf, Sid VVittner' fnowj- The Council wants SZ. Going up.

NINETEEN-THIRTEEN-FQURTEEN 99 Favorite Tune in the Lunchroom On the Trail of the Xvl'lOlCSO1l16 Pie Filling Space This is no Drydonian heroic couplet, but, An insigniiicant, thoughtless poem, ridiculous and rankg Its object is not to untold great hidden meanings, but, 'lo hll this paper white, which would have otherwise been blank Our Own Studentis Dictionary A Ten -An imaginary quantity which is never seen in a teacher s marking book. A Zero -The only part of 'a ten a student acquiring. usually succeeds in Chalk-A whitish substance, used as missiles for Hinging about the 1'OO1'1'1. Babies-Lively little creatures peculiarly gifted in the art of know ing just what page to tear out of your math. book. Mr. Archibald Yandivere O'Clankenboss-would you call him a man of letters? No Wonder! The day was clear and sunny, The breeze so fresh and fairg And every thing Cas Milton saysj Seemed blithe and debonair. , But. oh! ye gods and ish cakes! How desolate seemed the schoolg Not a soul was on the campus, In the alcove, gym or pool. The rooms were all deserted In Townsend Harris Hall, But the air 'round Jasper Oval Rang out with cry, Play Ball! If Conan Doyle received S2 a word for one o then what were XVilliam's Wfordsworth? f his short stories
