"Hit 'em low, Buttsie!" was the cry of the Seniors during the clashes for football supremacy. So "Buttsie" did. And the Seniors came out the champs. Built on the barrel, he might be thought to be slow, but he can trip the light fantastic with the best of them. During an interrupted meeting of Senior court he established a speed record that will probably never be equaled. He is a good scout and his friends are more than numerous.
