Notice: Beware of George Feiss. In argument he is irre- pressibleg in persistence he is unequaled, in school he is unavoid- able. Indeed, George's long, complicated questions of pure non- sense and his infectious laugh are the bane of every master's existence, but his aifable nature and his genial greeting are ade- quate recompense. This impartial cordiality scured for him the trying position of Mediator of the Maroon and Black Contest. George's duties consist mainly in conciliating giant Capt. Dyer and tiny Capt. Mitchell or in revising the score in order to suit neither. But every Saturday if the two captains are appeased and no one desires an extra editorial for the News, George bustles to Troop A, and soon after reappears astride a mighty steed. George is really an expert rider, as he will hasten to explain, and much prefers riding to attendance at Saturday morn- ing make-ups, especially if these make-ups occur before ten o'clock. Nevertheless, George has high ambitionsg and it is not entirely for the fine horses of New Jersey that he has chosen Princeton. George Bradley Gaseoiigne, Jr.. The benign expression on the face above strangely befits its possessor. For despite his most vivid athletic career 1just read that activity list, if you don't believe it1, and despite that most potentious list of offices evidencing beyond doubt his qualities of a leader, George B. Gas- coigne, jr. as he is wont to call himself, is a strangely-if not alarmingly--innocent young gentleman. The mere use of a two syllable word has been known to completely baiile him.

George will go down in the history of the Cadmean Society as the word-a-meeting presi- dent . Shortly before each Cadmean meeting, George can be seen eagerly thumbing through the dictionary. Suddenly his thumbing stops, he bends eagerly over the volume, a strange light comes into his eyes, he slams the book shut, and races for his presidential chair at the Cadmean meeting. Until the meeting opens he discourages all conversation. George is trying to keep in mind the pronunciation of that word-a-meeting. II8

Laurie has been for some years a faithful resident in Pickands Hall and hails from Wooster where it is said he has many feminine admirers. One can hardly fail to notice Laurie, because of his curly 1and we mean curly5 red hair which makes one think of Harpo Marx. But most of us do not think of Laurie as having red hair or of being an excellent breaststroker on the Varsity swimming squad 1even though this is important enough5 but we remember him as being the school Mabian Board 1453 Players 125 135 145. Our subject, dear reader, is the conscientious, indeed, too conscientious, Dick Dyer, who shoulders the mighty task of chairman of the Board of Prefects. Behold him attempting to instill the wrath of the Almighty in erring under-classmen. His voice booms, roars as he exhorts, pleads, condemns. Masters at leisure tremble as suggestions Alumni Room. But Dick's With his size, with his voice, with his manner, he attempts to instill dignity into his Board. irritate him, tantalize him. 1He has even been forced to sus- pend a majority for a fortnight.5 Indeed, all is not roses for this, our biggest senior. Even is he thwarted in his three great loves, named in order reversed to preference: His Hsh which persist in dying for himg his shot- putting which is always best immediately before or immediately after each track meet: and-well, Cadmean and Edward Moore meetings, according to best information available in Dick's home, last till ten in the evening or beyond. And Dick is heading for the best college in the country, Harvard. He wants to get an education. of an earthquake issue from the control of his Board is fleeting. But to naught. They mock him, mathematician. In this realm he is the acme of success, and it is rumored that he shows even Mr. Vfalton how to do diflicult problems, and that he does all the Dorm's mathematical homework. Many of us think that he will end up by being a famous astronomer and figuring out how far we are from nowhere. Laurie has taken difficult parts in the Players performances and is an honor student. Next year he plans to go to M. I. T. and study-guess what?-Math.

9l M A B l A N .loliln Campbell Grant, Jr. 1 Varsity Soccer Squad 121 131 1415 All-Class Basket- ' ball 1215 Varsity Baseball Manager 141g Athletic Council 1415 Players 131 1413 Senior Prom Committee 141. An inspiring senior cracks wise. He is greeted by groans of agony for his efforts. In fact, he is not even humorous. And then from somewhere, somehow, something, unearthy, some- thing entirely inhuman, something-well something-is heard: -first it rumbles then it mounts, and finally it booms, roars, smashes, tears through the atmosphere. It is john Grant's unforgivable horse-laugh 1with apologies to the horse1. John is the soul of understanding. His sympathy is extended to all. The very fact that his fellow classmates' quip was met with jeers had aroused his sympathetic chord and this was his indi- vidualistic way of showing his heart-felt remorse at another's failure. On the other hand john is as relentless as Attila the Hun. Witness him as the baseball manager pushing his assistants urging and exhorting them to expend that last ounce of energy to transport the heavy--oh so heavy-batrack 1f1lled with bats mind you1 up to the ball diamond in one second less than the day before. Or, if you like, witness him on the eve of a Players' per- formance. Aspiring young electricians jump like trained dogs at his command. john always has his lighting and wiring job Russell Landrum Haden, Jr. First Honors 121 131 1413 C.E.E.B.

Meet Russell Haden-deluxe model of the Uni- versity school student and prize winner. Russell's prowess in securing elusive prizes has secured for himself a permanent place among the intelligentia. This year Russell's fine work and all around ability and good fellowship have been rewarded: he is Vice-President of the Cum Laude and a member of the Edward Moore Society. His chief delight is in chemistry, and it is rumored that the insurance rate on the Haden domicile has strangely fluctuated upward since he has taken up the chemical field in a big way. Russell is also one finished long before others of the technical staff of the Players have even planned their share of the work. of the incorrigible senior room loiterers, and can be found there at all times of the day studying or more commonly just sitting. In the fall Rus is one of the lads who kick the stuffing out of the soccer ball, and many a weary booter has gone home the more for wear because of Haden's flying antennae. Rus is at the present undecided as to his college choice, but we on the inside certainly suspect to find him operating a slide rule at M. I. T. At any rate, he leaves behind him many scholastic records to be shot at, and a host of well wishers.
