'Bill" Green, the only four letter
man in the Senior class or in the
high school for that matter, expects
to enter Rutgers University this
coming fall. "Bill" has been very
popular with his classmates, and
should get the same popularity. at
Rutgers, (which is the state college.
Many consider Green the same
class of athlete as Willis Clark or
Borden Painter, both OF whom
made good in college athletics after
graduating from the local high
school as four letter men. Grenn.
however, is taller than either OF
these boys, and weighs practically
the same, perhaps more, than they
did when they graduated from the
local school.
At Rutgers he will have a
chance to get we'll acquainted
because Of the number Of local
boys at the State University.
These have made and are
making their marks, and should
help "RilI" in many ways.

The European homebuider in a
great many ways does the job of build
ing the home in manner directly
opposite to that Of the American. For

governed by that of the facade. which
is designed first: the floor plan and in
terror arrangements being suhordi-
mated to the proportions of the eX
terror. However, the European house
is without most of the elemental con-
