Some of us know him for his wrestling, some for his phil- osophies, and some for his non-professional tutoring in the Senior Room, but all of us recognize him as the personification of well- directed energy expanded towards an always definite goal. But many of us have seen him working for nothing, as it were, dur- ing long evenings as he strives to defeat Lady Luck-so far, though, she has bested him in nearly every conflict. School work holds no terrors for Ernst-that is, except for Physics 1applied Algebra!1. Even Mr. Walton's pet nightmare, Solid Geometry, does not phase him-much. Notwithstanding all his many con- quests in masculine fields, Ernst has never been tempted from his rightous path of monogomy. And after two years, he still insists that a little sister, not a gorgeous Senior is the cause of his daily visits to H. B. S. Again we Wonder! But feel that fair Harvard will change Ernst in more ways than this oneg perhaps it may even alter his pink viewpoint. Best luck and more blnckjacks to you, Ernst! Don't be frightened by the headress of our subject, dear reader. It is no symbol of pagan ritualism nor fiendish device of the desire to frighten innocent children, but rather it is the culmination of years of ceaseless cultivation. Bill North, our amiable subject in his spare time, is a most successful President of the Edward Moore Society and the only non-squirrel of the Prefect Board. To his more intimate acquaintances he will have it known that as a bridge player, he con- siders himself second only to the matchless Hal Sims. He follows Mr. Sims' system exclusively even to the point of becoming psychic. Un- happily what to him are psychic efforts to foiling his opponents serve only to confound his tolerant partners. Bill is possessed of an ism which just off hand can't be scientifically placed, but it can be William Harrison North Edward Moore Society 131, President 1415 President of Class 111 121, Vice-President 131, Treasurer 1415 Cadmean Society 121 131 1415 Student Council 111, Secretary 131, Vice-President 1415 Board of Prefects 1415 News Board 121 131, Sports Editor 1415 Mabian Sports Editor 1415 Glee Club 131 1415 Choir 131 1415 Second Honors 131 1415 Fresh- man Footballg Freshman Basketballg Freshman Baseballg Varsity Football 1415 Varsity Basketball 1415 Varsity Tennis 131, Captain 1419 Saunders Tennis Cup Winner 1315 Ath- letic Council 1415 Junior Prom Committee 1315 Senior Farewell Committee 1315 Community Fund Supervisor 1415 Chairman of junior Prefectsg Foul Shooting Contest, Third 121. described by merely stating that he gets restless mentally unless he can manager to wrinkle a fen- der or two on the family car monthly. Another phase of his life that proves rather an enigma to his classmates is the nature of the spasmodic airmail letters he gets from Pine Manor. However, Bill promises to get this spasmodic con- dition remedied next year when he's at Cornell, where he will be a trifle nearer to E. B. '26

Proudly sporting two glistening gold medals from his watch chain, Monk rushes into the Senior Room in his in- evitable manner to upset the formerly reigning peace and quiet. The receiver of much newspaper publicity for his athletic prow- ess, Henry Matthes, is probably one of the best known and liked individuals in school. While an outstanding all-around athlete, Henry is best known for his wrestling feats. Not only did he capture the ISS pound City Championship, but he also won the 175 pound N. A. A. U. title after giving away some twenty pounds to his opponents. Monk's greatest hobby, next to chatting with traffic cops, is the dispersal of propaganda for his college choice, Lehigh. Wherever anyone goes he is sure to see Lehigh posters on blackboards, windows, desks, and about every con- ceivable object. Frequently, the leader of a corridor cheering section is Henry, and he is always pretty certain to be in the center of all riots. Following completion of his post-graduate course in June, Henry plans to turn his footsteps toward his highly publicised alma mater to be, Lehigh.

Hard is the task of him who attempts to trace wordly deeds of this model boy. His finger is in so many thingsg his voice raised in so many places, that it is difficult to tell of them all. As you suddenly enter the Senior Room you may hear a sudden guttural, Get out, Dyer, and see a flurry of motion and tussle. Or again you may be startled in chemistry class by a low de- moniac chuckle after one of Mercury's quips. Please don't be surprised, it's only Mitchell! Away from school he runs around in his beautiful 1not to be scratched1 Ford with the girls. As Walter Winchell might report, after the Junior Prom, his mother was surprised at George's offer to run the Hoover vacuum cleaner. But George is a serious boyg you'd be surprised, even if he does look solemn in Prefects' meetings. He even used to make model airplanes, but gave it up under the pressure of circulating the News and pounding the ivories. Redmond has three things with him now just as he had when he came to U. S.-his writing, spelling, and his mind. For testimony, see his score on the Bushnell, Spelling Contest and Cum Laude. He can torment Mr. Mac so successfully that he has decided to become a chemical engineer and will continue at M. I. T.

Eyes are focused on a lighted platform. The Players are giving one of their biennial performances. Suddenly from the Stygian darkness a strange sound is heard. The actors pause. The audience stirs uneasily. Doctor Peters peers warily about him. But the sound continues. From an eerie screech, it cres- cendoes to a mighty horse haw, ripples back and forth, and grudgingly dies. The actors are given their cues, and the play goes on. The audience, with difficulty, returns its gaze to the stage. According to its author, Tom Robbins Parker, this weird shriek is a laugh, but those who know him well forgive him this horrible accomplishment. Tom is one of the most popular boys around school, in spite of the fact that he is President of the Student Council. Such a diilicult position well-filled is a true test of popularity, so let it be known that Tom is Vice-President of his Senior Class. Tom is one of those energetic persons who find time for everything, including impersonations and vocalizations in the Senior Room. Editor of this honored annual, athlete, speaker, general information prize winner, and all-around fellow, Tom has set up an enviable record and reputation at school. .llolhnm Bright llmarlklhunrst Freshman Swimming Team5 Sherman Prize Speaker C355 Glee Club C35 C455 Choir C35 C455 News C15 C25 C35, Literary Editor C455 Bushnell English, Second C455 First Honors C25 C355 Second Honors C35 C455 Library Commissioner C455 Edward Moore Society C455 Players C25 C35, President C45. If the criterion of intelligence is determined by the application of a minimum of effort in order to obtain a maximum of results, Jack Park- hurst is the unacknowledged genius of the senior class. No master can long resist that unruffled urbanity of address or that dignified look of vir- tuous innocence which invariably accompany J. B.'s phillipics in defense of his persistency of concentration. On several occasions the man of leisure has been known to deign to participate Cof course in a feigned manner of paternal conde- scension5 in the friendly tussels always in progress behind the closed door of the Senior Roomg and in fact Pres. Lamb strongly suspects our John of No gamble is the prediction that Tom will be as great a success at his college, Yale, and later in life, as he was here. tossing one of the small pests through the formerly beautiful davenport. Seriously though, Jack has supervised the literary page of the News with extraordinary successg and in the presentations of the Players, his character roles, especially that of a misguided French interpreter, have been im- pressive. As a rule Jack is not boastful, but he is inordinately proud of Egbert Oswald, the Dual- Ratio King of Fordsg and he is not excessively modest when asked to explain how he manages to maintain his impeccable wardrobe one month in advance of the styles illustrated in Esquire. But alas, the parting of the ways has come, and we must say-Cheerio, jawn!
