THE 1938 CALL 0’ Pflfl LINDLEY JAMES BURTON Cum Lauae Entered Blake 1926 Boo Harvard Whose little body lodged a mighty mind. HEREIN lies the story of our official prodigy, for Boo has amazed boys and masters alike with his scholastic ability since those shady days at the Junior School. Especially in the field of mathematics does Lindley shine, and we estimate that he set a new record in Algebra V (called by some the most difficult course in the school). He missed approximately five out of the fourteen hundred problems assigned, not to mention his perfect score on the Board. In the field of athletics, Boo has also an excellent record. He has played for three years on the tennis team, finishing up this year as captain. For two years, many an opposing forward has cursed Lindley under his breath as Boo snared a pass and headed back up the ice. In fact, Boo has not limited himself to hockey, for he claims that it is merely a matter of days until he goes off the Bush Lake ski-jump. It is not at all unusual to see that Burton L. has finished high up in the local ski races. Like his brother Gale, Lindley is headed for Harvard. With his unusual scholastic ability and fine spirit, he should go far at Cambridge. 28

THE 1938 CALL 0’ PAR JOHN LAWLER BROOKS Entered Blake 1931 Johnny Dartmouth There are smiles that make you happy . . ONE of the best, as headboys go. John has been with us since the days of Death Valley. In fact, the Class of '38 would not be the same without those revolutionary locks and that perpetual grin. One of our prize athletes, Johnny has been a star at everything from shot putting to catching a streetcar. This year John captained the hockey team and proved to one and all that Dartmouth's defense worries are over. Also a fighting tackle on Mike Horne's football team, John was an important factor in the team's impressive record. In the spring our hero's first love is baseball, where he patrols the outer gardens. However, the Glenn Goug-ers have been known to call for help in mid-season, and our John is always ready. In his junior year he played a strong number two in a match or so, and no one can predict what the coming season holds for Leaper. A member of the Blake Union, John is among the honored few who sing the Alma Mater every other Friday night at 8:30. Johnny is following brother Bob to the green mountain country, and this June Blake will see the last of one of her greatest athletes and best all-around fellows. 27

THE 1938 CALL O’ PAfl THEODORE FOQUE CARTER Cum Laudo Entered Blake 1928 ‘’Cuth Williams “Nowher so besy a man as he ther n'as And yet he seemed besier than he was. WITHOUT doubt the greatest school power in the Class of '38, Ted has amazed the inmates of the senior sanctorum with his infinite list of school activities. In fact, at one time last fall, the Cub was so occupied with extra-curricular matters that he could not find even one spare moment in which to attend classes. The Editor-in-Chief of the publications, Cuth has known true misery in trying to collect last-minute articles for the Torch. No one is more aware of the school editor's elusiveness at the time of the deadline. And at times Ted has been forced to use physical terrorism in his dealings with the sports editor. For four years Cuth has starred in the plays, finishing up as president of the Dramatic Association. Who can forget the hectic two weeks preceding the plays when Cubby was almost carrying a telephone in his overcoat pocket. One of the most outstanding debaters ever to attend Blake, Ted, aided by Andy's practical rule of the question, has made an enviable record during his two years on the squad. Ted is headed for Williams, and Blake will be sad indeed to lose such an all-around fellow. 29
