W e aren’t sure in what field he will cast hi lot but we prophecy success, and wish him luck. FRANCES SMITLEY When Frances Smitlcy enme into High School her shyness and modesty cut short all ideas of ambition. Her work in the class play and as vice-president has proved that she has an ability worthy «»f greater ambitions. Besides this is her constancy throughout the course. She is deserving •( praise, and we hope she continues through life in this manner. HOWARD JOHNSON Doc” has gained the good will of all by his ready hand but readier wit. He amuses most and disturbs a few. blit entertains all regardless of their desires by his “espiegleries.” As for work—he used t«» hit it in the high places and—well everybody that’s clever has his own ml •» line. ROBERT MEIGS “Bob” came into high school with the class of '22 nourishing a love for athletics. He has retained this love and has played f« r three years on the baseball team, one year on the football team, and each year has played on the '22 basketball team. He has always paid strict attention t » his studies, and we all look forward to his making a success at Cornell.
