CHRISTENSON “Christie” “But clay and clay differ in dignity, whose dust is both alike.” Northeast School ; Junior Usher (3) ; Assistant Business Manager of Class Book (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). Have you ever noticed “Christie’s” walk? With that martial tread of his, we wouldn’t be a bit surprised to set him in brass buttons some fine day. PEARL O. COHEN “Pat” “How pretty her blushing was, and how she blushed again.” Arsenal School ; Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) ; Caroline Hewins Literary Society (3, 4) ; Classical Club (3) ; Girls’ League (3, 4)’. That hair was a nuisance. Right. “Pat.” So hard to grow, and such a temptation to have it cut off again. You sure ought to know that geometry book by heart. SAMUEL HILLEY COHEN “Mookie” “Of manners gentle, of affections mild; In wit a man ; simplicity a child.” Arsenal School; Debating Club (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Commercial Club (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). We don’t believe that Mookie” could ever be awakened from his dreamy reverie by anything short of an earthquake. However, for our sake, let him dream on undisturbed. SAMUEL HENRY COHEN “Slim” “How now, my lord ! Why do you keep alone ?” Henry Barnard School; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). “Slim” isn’t very active in school affairs, but he has good reason not to be. His silence speaks for himself. 10
