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.

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

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.

Picture yourself in a small dismal room, scattered with odds and ends way up in the wind blown school tower, and imagine the whizzing and thumping which denotes machinery in full operation. Who is the coatless studious-looking boy bending over the complicities of his press? He is john Keil, the printer, third most industrious member of the firm, Fabens and Keil, printers. Again picture yourself on the night of a Players performance in the filled school auditorium. The lights have been just turned on and the audience is relaxing from the dramatic climax of the first play. Who is the handsome tuxedoed gentleman blithely tripping across the stage with a chair in his strong embrace? A Barrymore. No, he is john Keil, property manager of the Players, taking care of his props. Yes, happy-go-lucky John is a most familiar figure around school. Almost any day he may be seen blowing hot air into the small opening in the mouth of his tin-plated saxophone and laboriously stamping his foot upon the floor under the careful direction of Mr. Funk- houser, or in the midst of the noisy racketeers in Fran Leonard's iazz band. Next year John plans to wend his way to Colgate, Mr. MaC's old stamping grounds, and likewise successfully par- ticipate in school activities as he has done at University School.

I. Honecker-class politician and self-styled humorist of the slap-stick variety, has never ad- mitted that the authors of the solid geometry text knew more about geometry than does Prof. Lamb, inventor of the extraordinary monstrosities, or- iginal designer of the four sided triangle. After an hour of profound cogitation and extreme men- tal travail, Prof. Lamb produced a simple mathe- matical formula which, according to the inventor, when perfected, will not only necessitate the re- vision of Euclidis theories, but will ruin the Monte Carlo gambling concern and enrich the modest Professor. Fortunately for the U. S. News, Busi- ness Manager Lamb has been forcibly restrained from applying this formula to its financial opera- tions. He is always ready to make a fool of any member of the class except the illustrious Prof. Lamb himself. Every month directly after the chemistry test, Honecker threatens to resign from school in order to capitalize upon his bridge knowledgeg but after a family conference, held that night, Jordan has invariably changed his mind and determined, instead, to renounce social life and concentrate upon the complexities of chemistry. If that commendable ambition can persist for a few more years, J. I-Ionecker Lamb will accomplish his secret desire and will indeed be the Student Prodigy of Cornell.
