Duffy:- But I've signed it twelve times already today. Dorm master:- Sign it againf' Duffy:- Yes, sirf' This is just a short episode in the life of James Duffy. When Jim isn't shuttling to H.B., and back again, he can probably be found on his way to Detroit, Ca small town near Bloom- field, home of the Cranbrook Cranesj his home town. He is also President of the only squad in school, the mem- bership in which automatically dis- qualifies him from membership on any other varsity squad. During third period on Monday he becomes a prize speaker in Dr. Peter's Civil Government class. His high scholastic averages speak well for his success here. 2nd Honors-1, 2, 3, 4: Cum Laude: Varsity Swim- ming Squad-2, 3, 4: Manager Baseball Team44: Secretary of Athletic Council44: Cadmean-4: Edward Moore--4: Associate Editor of the News-4: Glee Club-4: C.

When harder math problems are made Fa- bens will solve them. Besides his ex- cellent ability as a math student, Bruce excels so well in other studies that he is almost always on the honor roll. From these facts one would think that Bruce was a grind, but this is a far cry from the truth, for Bruce is both a member of the Cadmean and Edward Moore societies and also has other activities down H. B. way. In an athletic way Bruce has furth- ered the interests of the swimming team for the past two years, and has acted as the manager of the baseball team, where he has done an extremely good job helping Mr. McCaraher and the team, especially on the trip to De- troit. Bruce is another of the Florida goers and has traveled to Delray and to Miami, where he spent many en- joyable weeks on his yachts and on the Florida sands. Yachting is one of Bruce's main interests and during the summer one can find him sailing his own small boat or working on his father's cabin cruiser. This great genius will go the way of most good math students next year in his migra- tion to M. I. T., where he will estab- lish an enviable record.

JOHN WRIGHT CORTNER From the sunnier clime on the West side of the Cuyahoga hails this hearty little lad-Wfright Cortner. Little Man Mountain Cortner may be seen charging through the line, pinning his fellow matman, or chugging to a victory in the 100-yard dash. Wright is our Charles Atlas who holds up the good name of the school in the Inter- state sport world. In his more docile moments, Wright is the headman of the Prefect Board and Max Tufts' yes-man as the vice-president of the Edward Moore Society. In order to develop the Cadmean pledges in his own im- age, Wright has them bear one -of his cherished fifty-pound weights. Wright has been with us for only two years,,but he has achieved a remark- able record on the track and field and in the classroom. He has not only knocked off most of his wrestling op- ponents, but also he has knocked off honors a number of times. Wright heads the list of those going to Princeton next year, and his brain and brawn should keep him out of the grove and in the groove. Edward Moore Society- 3, 4.

WILLIS DAVIS Dark, deep, silent, well-dressed, studious, social, and athletic, can give a spot description of Willis Davis, commonly known as everything from Wee Willie to Davy. There's practi- cally no extra-curricular activity at U. S. that Will has not had his finger in. He has been a sparkling sports writer for the News for several years, and he is at his best while booming forth and overtoning baritone in the Glee Club. The Mabian has also been graced with his services, while he has held one of the top offices in his class every year for many years back, being president consistently until this year when he drew the vice-presidency. Will has held a strong hand in all the school governing bodies, being on the Prefect Board and a member of the Student Councl for three years. In the way of athletics, Dave has pulled down no less than seven letters, including a captaincy of the 1941 hockey team, which is a good average for any man. He is a three year let- terman in soccer, and has garnered two insignas in baseball.

FREDERICK FERBERT A light blue Plymouth arrives in the parking lot, little fellows, medium fellows, and big fellows pile out, the cream of the Lakewood crop. How- ever, the car, after losing its load, swings out of the parking lot and starts down to Hathway Brown for those last precious fifteen minutes be- for chapel. The owner of the car, Fred Ferbert, is a handsome wolf from Lakewood. This versatile youth from the West Side is the treasurer of the Senior class, member of both the Cad- mean and Edward Moore societies, and is known to have more ways of avoiding study hall than any other two boys in the school. After Cad- mean or Edward Moore meetings, he may be found at any one of three or four places indulging in his favorite sport, wolfing. Athletically, Fred is also a promi- nent member of the class, being one of Mr. McLaughlin's outstanding tennis players, and also co-captain of the basketball team. Outside school his diversions vary between Lakewood and its interesting diversions such as Jean's and Clifton beach, and the East Side, where he now holds some very strong interests. Next year Fred plans to further his career at Dartmouth, as did his brother Ed, and where he un- doubtedly continue to be a leader.

TED FISHER The crowd at the tennis courts was tense! It was the final match of the meet. So far in this deciding match the score was one to one in sets and in the third set the lead had see-sawed back and forth until the game score had reached the amazing total of 16 to 17. This was the deciding game. The serves whistled over the net, as the exhausted contestants gave their last ounce of strength and wit. Sud- denly, an ace! The game, set, and match had gone to the victorious Ted Fisher, winning the meet between U. S. and Cranbrook. This is fight typical of Ted, as shown by his zip on the soccer field, by his dash and nerve on the basket- ball floor, and by his artful hand- ling of the tennis racket. He prob- ably has as much school spirit or more than any one else in school, which is borne out by the fact that he has been the outstanding school cheer-leader since he was a Freshman. Ted is not only interested in ath- letics, but has shown his ability in the journalistic line by gaining the post of managing editor of the News. Be- sides all this work he manages to main- tain creditable marks in all his school work. He is heading for an engineer's degree, which he hopes to attain at Cornell, starting next year.
