JAMES ANDREW FRANKEL Believe me, Jim is the treasury of wit and wisdom of the class. At al- most any time during the day between 8:20 and 5:00 o'clock you will find Jim in the Senior room doing his civil government or tomorrow's trigf' This human dynamo says that he has to get his homework done during the day so that he can listen to the radio in the evening. We hear that Jim is Jack Benny's protege, yah, protegef' Jim is one of the greatest assistants in the school. He spends most of his time assisting Messrs. Gray, Walton, and Foster Qor is it vice-versa?J Dur- ing the winter months, Jim is the chief scorekeeper for Mr. McCarra- her's class basketball organization. Back in his Sophomore year, Jim was Mr. Waldron's chief assistant in charge of marking and mucking. Being the advertising manager of the University School News, Jim really demonstrated his business ability when he procured two full pages of adver- tising for the Gym Exhibition issue. Jim was the ive dollar boy in the Bushnell English competition. In the main, Jim may be best described as being overwhelmingly pragmatic Next year Jim will marriculare at Yale, where his business insight should keep the Bulldogs in the black.

JOHN GALE Uncle John is the class's leading exponent of the theory in regards to homework of Never do tonight what you can do tomorrow. Despite this philosophy John manages to keep his grades sufficiently above 80 to permit him to indulge in the exclusive pleas- ures of the Senior Room. He is a firm believer that the Senior Room be holy ground and for Seniors only, and that any lower classman found on the prem- ises should be roasted over a slow fire. Athletically, John is always quite busy. In the fall he was a mainstay of the champion Class Football team: during the winter his million and one duties as manager of the Varsity Swimming team kept him hopping, and when spring rolled around he threw a mean curve as pitcher and captain of one of the Class Baseball teams. When the inspiration hits him, John will turn out a feature story for the U. S. News, and his contributions have earned him the position of reporter on the News. The Edward Moore and Cadmean keys that dangle proudly from his key chain are mute testimony of his popu- larity, and further participation in the extra-curricular activities of the school. Next year John heads for Hamilton for a taste of higher education.

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.

ALAN GILLMORE Alan is the udrummin man of the Senior class, as his potent little one- man jam session the morning of his Senior speech well proved. In the language of the 'gatorsg the joint four own staid Chapelj was jumpin'. Mr. Gilmore's musical CPD abilities are, however, not limited to hide-beating, as he is also very proficient, in a much more serious way of course, on the violin, in this respect he has been elect- ed president of the U. S. Orchestra. Alan is the proud owner of one of the largest and most complete collec- tions of field excuses that Mr. Mc- Carrahar has ever seen. The import- ant question is who will inherit this magnificent collection of fool-proof and guaranteed field excuses when he graduates. It is rumored that he has been offered high prices by some of the less achletically inclined of the lower classmen. Once excused from field, Alan leaves the parking lot in a cloud of dust raised by his excessively jazzy Ford Phaeton. The sight of this con- vertible wonder always draws a larger crowd around it in the mornings be- fore Chapel than any of the sleek 1941 models also in view. Alan is not quite sure where he is going to college next year, but we are sure that wherever he goes his nimble wit and friendly nature will hold him in good stead. l Manager Hockey Team: Athletic Council: Manager News Board: Advertising Manager, Mabian Board: Varsity Track-i3J. THOMAS ERNEST GOSS Open the door! Open the door!,' This is a shout which rings in the ears of Tom Goss almost every day, for Tom is one of the custodians of that famed institution at U. S., the book store. He can be seen there at the end of each fifth period or eighth period on any day when he is not working ener- getically on his job as manager on the News Board or as advertising manager on the Mabian Board. The fact that Tom is a hard-working fellow is also shown by his excellent managing of the hockey team during the past year. Tom does not confine his activities in sports to managing as is demonstrated by his position on Mr. Grant's track team. This spring he was kept out of sports because of an attack of the measles. Next fall Tom will enter his college choice, Williams, where he will un- doubtedly carry on his good work at U. S. Anyway, we wish a swell fellow the best of luck and success.
