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.

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.

EARL FREEMAN FLOOD It was back in the spring of 1939 that this rugged fellow first entered the portals of U. S. Hailed as a poten- tial baseball star, the Earl of Flood has proved that the prophets were cor- rect, for he has starred on the base- ball team as second baseman for the past three years, being captain this last year. In the fall, Earl holds down the right end position on Alex's eleven and in the winter he manages to skate circles around opposing defensemen from his center spot on the hockey team. Needless to say, our modest young Mr. Flood is not without his feminine admirers, and it is whispered about that several dozen young women can hardly wait for Tuesday and Thurs- day nights to roll around so that the Earl and his pal Warren can slip out of Edward Moore or Cadmean, which- ever the case may be, and start fulfill- ing their social obligations. Although a member in good stand- ing of the old school of horse-play, Flood does not carry his antics to ex- tremes. At the present time, how- ever, he is running a neck-and-neck race with Vail for the prize awarded each year to the student who is most often the recipient of the classic phrase, I'll EXCUSE you.', Glee Club -'-- 3, 4: Players-2, 3, 4: Basketball Mgr. f-4: Class Tennis--2, 4: Class Football-Z, 3, 4: Class Basketball, 2. 3: Choir: Athletic Council: Varsity Track Squad-3: Frosh Football: Frosh Basketball: Frosh Track. HALBERT FRANK A. slim figure rushes madly down to the shop, gets another tool, and dashes back up onto the U. S. stage to fix a flat or to adjust a light, and then smiles as the curtains part to disclose to the audience a set designed and constructed by the genius of Halbert Frank. Aside from being stage manager of the Players, Hal also managed the Varsity basketball team this year, and was a member of the athletic council. Hal's home is Akron, the garden spot of America, Cwe are toldj, but he spends his school days inside the con- finements of Pickands Hall. Vocally Hal has sung in the choir as well as adding his golden tenor voice to Mr. Derby's Glee Club for the past two years. This September, if Hal can manage another thing, he will probably manage to journey to New Haven where he will enter Yale. We wish him the best of luck.
