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.

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.

JAMES GREENE Scene: A trigonometry test. Time: Twenty minutes before the end of the period. All is silence. Sud- denly a chair squeaks, and a boy makes his way leisurely across the room to the master's desk, handing in his paper, and exiting, with a con- fident look upon his face. Four- teen sweating brows follow the grace- ful, easy motions of this demon math- ematician, their foreheads creased in amazement. They exchange mutual glances of awe, and go back to work with the nothing-makes-me-sick atti- tude. A wide smile spreads over the face of the master as he announces to his weary class that the half-period efforts of the speedy genius net him a reward of a 60 on his test. This is merely a run-of-the-mill oc- currence for Jim Greene: at least it is when he takes time off from his figure skating to attend school. In these rare moments of school life, he man- ages to put out a creditable sports page for the News and maintain an honor average. Along the sports line, Jim has achieved an untold eminence in the difficult and specialized field of figure skating, Where he has placed in several national and local contests. Next fall Jim will enter Princeton to carry on his excellent work.

ROBERT ADAMS HARRIS Attention, Mr. and Mrs. North America, and all the ships at sea! A light is flashing, a bell is ringing, the cogs of a cranium begin to roll. You guessed it. Bob Braintrust Harris is giving a demonstration of his John Kieran-like brain, which not only has helped him to win the General Infor- mation Contest last year, but also has kept his grades on an honor par. Neither Demosthenes nor Franklin D. Roosevelt has anything on our Bobby when it comes to producing with the larynx. Last year Bob took the twenty-five dollar question in the Sherman Speaking Contest and victoriously expounded his ideas on Wbaf M011 Fight For- life, liberty, and the pursuit of womenf' When he isn't barreling the big, green fPackardJ, Bob may be found writing an editorial for the News or pecking out a Senior biography for the Mabian. He spends his other odd moments crooning in the glee club or swinging on the rings as a stalwart member of the varsity gym crew. Be- tween cigies he attends the weekly meetings of the Edward Moore and Cadmean Societies. Bob plans to enter the portals of Eli Yale's institution next year, Where his eloquence and suave manner should be able to tame the ferocious bulldog.
