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.

Class Baseball Championship Teamg League Football Team 131 141g Varsity Swimming Squad 121 131 1415 Class Tennis Squadg Players 121 151 1419 News Board 141, Cadmean Society 1413 Maroon and Black Mediator. 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

Irving Huggett will not survive a day after Huey Long becomes President of these United States. Sparrow, though a mild, inoffensive petit oiseau, is very excitable by natureg and as the date of his senior speech approached, he became extremely agitated for fear he would not have time to memorize his decla- mation. Finally the momentous day arrived, and Sparrow strode upon the platform, his chin held aloft and a righteous smile upon his features. Huey I.ong's most dreadful enemy would have been overjoyed to listen to the harsh words of accusation that Sparrow hurled at the amazed audience. He huffed and he puffed and he blew Huey awayg then Sparrow subsided and re- sumed his scholastic duties as if nothing unusual had occurred. In spite of averaging only two days of school attendance per week, Irving has consistently maintained his record well above the honor rank. By the end of the year, if his present rate is continued, Sparrow will have rewritten 1verbatim1 the history textbook into his voluminous notebook, the Iirst section of which is rapidly being filled with intricate comparisons of baseball scores. Perhaps it is this active interest in all athletics, coupled with his experiences on the varsity soccer team, that made Irving a noted sports writer for the News, and later an efficient wrest- ling manager. Indeed, U. S. will miss the Sparrow. Dudley Sherman Humphrey lIlIlI Dud is one of the all around fellows in the school. He takes equal joy and derives equal bene- fit from partaking of the ice cream and cake at the Honor Luncheons, and from slinging a base- ball about in the spring. In the fall he is one of Mr. Munson's protege's in the midst of things. In Prefect meetings he is the dignified secretary, and when not performing one of his numerous duties, may be found eating chicken sandwiches between classes, much to the envy of many would- be Wimpys. Dud takes great joy in skating and Varsity Football Team 1415 Varsity Baseball Team 131 1415 Mabian Contributor 1415 Varsity Club 131 1415 C.E.E.B.

In fact, the well known Humphrey visage may be found poked into almost every place where there is much of interest. In the summer Dud's activities range from fighting a slice to ridingg it is suspected, the merry-go- round at, chez lui, Euclid Beach. Next year Dud will give three cheers for old Eli and pack for Yale, where he is sure to be the success he has been here. 20
