THE i937 6 W B Van Wie-The one thing that gave us a breath of sex during the day was Allen's Coy soprano voice breaking out into screams of laughter just as the room had quieted down. Saint Agnes, Guides Post, that violin of his, and the rifle club has had a weird affect on the lad. Wertime-No one has seen johnny for six months-we think he was blown away back in january. Wheeler-No one understands Tomg he'd rather go to bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night than stay up till one o'clock doing nothing fqueer duckll. We understand that Tom is potentially another Martin Luther. Wilkins-Earle wondered why they didn't flavor those rubber things on the ends of pencilsg he didn't know they were to erase mistakes lhe didn't even know there were such thinks as mistakesl, A lot of fellows were for calling off elections and proclaiming Wilk king: King Wayne sounds almost as nice as Wayne King. Willits-lf you find some one crawling up your back one of these days, it's either a caterpillar or Robert. We're still a little careful about calling Robert, Bob . Wisely-joe aspires to the hire arts. l-le can't make up his mind l?l . . . or at least he can't decide whether to go to Harvard or join de marines. The reason C company drilled was not because they wanted to, but because they got scared into doing it by their First Lieutenant. NS1 i3il scwcsst sscr 'tt 4 Page tlzirty-three vox X

U G12 THE 'l9l37 CHL l-lume-Dave was born with a silver soup ladle in his mouth. l-le resents any remarks about the way he's bringing Pearson up. lf fellows were ships, Dave would be a sailboat. Kreher-Books open to Mr. Kreherl A close rival to Van Wie for getting more homework done in class than most of us do at night lwhich still isn't an awful lotl. They say he can't figure out the Einstein theory. Balls, l'Vlr. Kreher, Balls! Possibly he'll turn out to be a genius, but maybe it's only that he's queer. Kattrein- Battling Bill lto our better peoplel led with his chin. l-le should have known they were only rubber bricks, and then too the boys had to have something to do. Landay-Tess is our red, Violence comes too, l-le's learned in matters Above me and you. 1 Larson-Hleem, the melancholy Swede , is having a suit made with the label on the outside so he won't constantly have to unbutton his coat to show people. Mayersohn-The K'White Sheep , Pretty Duckling , and so forth of the Mayersohn family. When you are misunderstood or have a joke that nobody appreciates, go to Arnyg he'll understand. lVlcArdle-Paul didn't mind the monotony of day in and day out of l-listory, but this day in and week out got his goat. l-le's tired of studying, so he's going to Notre Dame and play football. After he makes his first million there, he's going to retire and enter business . . . Pop is one of those people who speaks for himself, in fact Paul has been speak- ing for himself ever since we knew him. Meyer-Carl of the horse and huggy age . . . we don't know where the horse comes in, but we know . . . he was often represented to be that thing that is outside people's door when something else is just around the corner, but that's not so. You never found Carl out in the cold, Here was one person who never leaned on his shovel. Plummer-These days Pete has been spending his time wondering whether people were itching for a bruise, and trying to convince Coach that the track Captain trained lwe won't mention any namesl. Roche-Charley is the kind of a fellow that when you see a suit in a cloth- ing store window and wonder who the heck would ever buy that, he's it. I Smith-To Smythe goes the title, Done the Academy for lvlostn. We al- ways thought that in Spring a young man's fancy turns, but Charles' fancy turns regularly every other month. l-lonest, fellas, l may be fickle, but this time l'm serious -Smitty wanted to be a humorist. Thompson-The pin boy's enemy! They didn't mind an occasional crack on the knee, but, when you start heaving that sixteen pound missile at their noggins, they begin to run. Van Olst-Don was that little guy you used to see sliding under peoplels feet on the basketball court. l-le used to collect the Class dues, Meyer would spend them on his records. ' Page tliirty-two

Second-Mr. l-larold T. Stetson is left the courage, the strength of mind, and the unprecedented audacity, not to excuse on each drill day the entire lower three forms. Third-To lVlr. Evan A. Nason we leave the management of the Athen- ian First Form Drill with hopes that he may make more out of it than the Sixth Form did.

Fifth-To lVlr. Lawrence l-l. Pike we give three organs for the chapel so that he, lVlr. Dodge, and Miss l-lenshaw may accompany the school in a suitably inspiring way as it sings Play, Play the Cameug Mr, Pike's Alma Mater , and other selections. Sixth-To Mr. joseph B. Lindsey we leave a scholarship to the New York State College for Teachers so that he may learn of the methods and techniques of his alleged professiong and a position as hockey coach at Exeter Academy. Seventh-To Mr. Lyman B. Owen go several sixteen-millimeter reels of the motion picture entitled Northeastern l-lindustan, its Romance and Beauty to show to the school for several hours each morning, and some bathtubs with hot and cold running water to add to the comfort of the proposed utopian Fourth Form Room.
