Look! You canlt mistake Diamond Ioe's beaming countenance. Although the name implies it, he isn't a prizefighterg in fact, he has a broad grin and a winning smile that has brought him many friends. Mac never goes into anything in which he does not make a success. He has entered many school activities in his brief stay of two years at Woodberry, and he has distinguished himself not only because of his real ability but also because of his very commendable perseverance and school spirit. He has excelled in Dramatics, being one of the best actors this school has ever produced. He has the ability to interpret any character assigned to him and to play it so convincingly that the audience always enjoys and appreciates his remarkable acting. . . As a member of the Hop Committee, he has taken great pleasure in giving us all a good time at three of the best and most attractive dances the school has ever given. Although he does all the light work, he has been a most efficient electrician. He has been a very valuable asset to Cap'n,' in both Track and Football, proving himself fully capable and de- serving of a place on each squad. If he progresses as fast every year at Cornell as he has each year here, and We are sure he will, his college life Will be a repetition of his days at Woodberry, and he will more than likely be president of the college by the time he is graduated! Best of luck, Mao 40 '

Your name if great in mouthr of zoifert elderff' During his three years' stay at this institution of intelligence, Johnny, by his ready smile, so evident when things looked blackest, has not only gained many life- long friends but has made himself one of the most popular and beloved members of the student body. Labby is also a student of no mean ability, and his averages are always among the best. That he is esteemed not only by the boys but also by the Masters is borne out by the fact that he was made a Prefect. He has held down this job wonderfully well and is one ofthe most revered members of that august council. Anyone familiar with the annals of the school knows that it has produced some very notable golfers. This custom, so to speak, is more than likely to be continued this year, for Johnny bids fair to rival Walter Hagen on the links! Speed? This young man has it-that is, speed wher- ever the fair sex is concerned. He is one ofthe biggest sheiks in the school, but we can never quite decide whether it is his handsome countenance or his line that attracts the girls -perhaps it is both. Nevertheless, we do know that they are attracted. Good-bye, Johnny, and a world ofluck to you! May you enjoy as much success at Princeton as you have had here. Though you leave us in person, the impression you have made in Woodbe1'ry's school life will remain un- dimmed for years to come. i 39

Four years ago, a bewildered and diminutive lad made his appearance at Wood- berry, and this marked the beginning of another meteor in the illustrious constella- tion which represents Washiiigton. Although small in stature, he soon proved that he possessed a powerful intellect and a determined will, four years having sufficed to prove in his case the truth of the proverb, Where there's a will, there's a way. Undaunted by the handicap of his lack of weight, Greg has entered whole- heartedly into every branch of athletics, and each year has marked his gradual rise from the lowly midget league to a formidable contender for several squad positions. However, his most marked achievements have been along literary lines. He is a member of this year's Oracle Board, and also a candidate -il-i for the Debating team. He has the distinction of being the - :J ll youngest member of this year's graduating class, but still Q 2 .fl , if ranking with the leaders in the scholastic standing of his ' iE,fg'.-if form.
