He left us for half a year, but on his return made up for it by his excellent work in history class. His views on religion, politics, and school are broadminded and sulphurous.

Class Treasurer (2); Business Manager Weather Vane (4); Class History (4). Behold the class statistician and financial adviser, a consistent and persistent advocate of the Micawber formula above. Through his eternal figgerin , '27 has achieved the distinction of making that income and expenditure tally. Such labors and the numerous A’s on his report card do not bespeak a childish mind, yet the paradox remains that common objects like chalk and erasers still retain their childish appeal as objects that exist primarily to be thrown.
