Bob, who joined our ranks some seven years ago, is another of the wits 1?1 of the Senior Class. His humor has been shown in most classes, particularly English, where as an annoyer of Mr. Gray he has no equal. This year he was one of the standbys of the Glee Club. And, despite his tomfoolery, Bob managed to make the News Board this year, turning out some of the best articles in that interesting paper. He has been active in class athletics, participating in Class Tennis for the last three years. Next year will find Bob at Dartmouth, and the school will find itself separated from one of its most agile humorists. And if you don't think that he has a flare for writing, be- sides the News, he walked off with S25 in the Merchant Marine Contest in the Ohio competition, plus the SIS Cadmean awarded him. We have every confidence he,ll use the money well, or don't we? Now we come to one of the most enigmatic, silent, and secretive boys of the Senior Class, John Laubscher. He resides at the dorm, but is very vociferous about his liking for Lakewood. And, we mustn't omit it, he is not very silent, at least one can worm it out of him, about his liking for Lakewood girls. In evidence of his feeling toward 9 3 5 John Kenneth Lnnbseher Varsity Track Squad 1415 junior Varsity Football 1413 Senior Prom Committee 141. girls, witness the way he sticks to the Trianon, the good old Trianon, where his face is a decided orna- ment. If you are still in doubt as to his voice you should come into chapel when lunch is on the tables. Chances are 11 out of 31 that you will hear a voice exclaiming, Who wants my dessert -for a nickel? Ah, yes, oh, woe, 'tis John, but he has no takers-at a nickel. '22

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.

It is impossible to think of Francis Leonard, without one word-speed-popping into one's mind. Fran is Coach Grant's star dashman on the track team, and there is not a more smooth and beautiful sight :han seeing Len flying down the straight away in the hundred-yard dash. Not satished with his own in- herent speed, Fran has an eighty-mile an hour motor cycle that excites the envy of all boys. Fran's other occupier of his time, besides his studies, is the school orchestra of which he is the president. No doubt credit should be given to Maestro Funkhouser for holding Len down, but then Fran gets his freedom to go as fast as he wants in his own jazz orchestra, called the Sole Killers. Such a name connotes heat and speed! Despite Len's speed, he slows down enough for one to catch his sly quips in chemistry, and appreciate his pleasing personality.

Those who really know Barney find him very interesting, but even more so when he comes out from behind his whiskers, which only the week ends seem to be able to make him do. His football experience has been varied as well as his stage experience. This year in the Players he played as a lover and then as a Russian, two widely diversified parts, but both easily within his scope of acting. Around school we find him looking first like a black bearded hermit and then like a handsome city slicker, but always we find him defending his home town of Detroit to the utter- most. He is a resident of the Dorm, and in that quarter he is known for his designs of modern ocean liners. He is very much inter- ested in all phases of the nautical world as well as in aviation, sports, reading, and the theatre. Next year he hopes to be at Brown continuing his studies to be a business man, and maybe an engi- neer.
