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.

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.

ROBERT HOMER HORSBURGH, jr. When the tower clock registers a quarter of nine during the week days, and the choir in Chapel is about to give outn on the daily hymn, there is a commotion in the parking lot as a blue Pontiac screeches into a vacant spot, and a dozen or so boys make a dash for the Chapel. Horsburgh has just arrived with his Lakewood Qand points Westj cohorts, and in about two seconds he will be on the plat- form lending his mellow tenor to the singing. Bob's perpetual good nature has made him exceedingly well liked at U. S., and as a result, his classmates have elected him to the two respon- sible positions of Senior Class President and Glee Club manager. At Cad- mean, Edward Moore, and Prefect meetings one can find our heavy- bcarded, heavy-stomached friend lean- ing back and taking in the proceed- ings in his big, executive style. As one of the class's leading social- ites, Bob operates from his headquar- ters at a certain well known spot out in Rocky River. When he's not taking his weekly prefect half holiday or cutting classes to do a little politician- ing. Next year it's M.l.T. for our jovial Mr. Horsburgh, where we feel sure he'll be just as solid as a stone wall, Jackson.

LEONARD HORVITZ In September, 1938, a short, but rugged, boy wended his Way into the unknown corridors of University School. Lenny Horvitz showed his athletic ability first as a back in Mr. Munson's class football league. But it wasnlt until the winter season rolled around that he tasted his first varsity competition. Although he had had no previous experience in the manly sport of wrestling, he was able to impress the coach quickly with his prowess in the 125 pound class. Then began his ma- jor athletic career at U. S. which led him up to the captaincy of this year's grappling team. In the spring he tried running, jumping, and even heaving for the track team until he decided to join the spring Senior social set on the class tennis courts. Next year Lenny will attend Penn- sylvania, where we all wish him con- tinued success both in his work and in his wrestling.
