BULKELEY NEWS 13 William (i. Murphy, Gen. Chubby Willie Murphy is the next oue whom we mention, ’Tis said he’s so attractive that some day he’ll draw a pension. But about this we do think That there’s a missing link, For the one thing he did e’er attract was to attract attention. Football ’13. Glee Club. Athletic Editor “Bulkeley News” ’14. (jeorfce N. Stewart, Act. So cute a boy was Stewart that it would be hard to spy The mischief ever sparkling in George’s little eye But the funny way he hid it, And the funny way he did it Are things which in our Bulkeley days have often made us sigh. Charles Kaufman, Sci. At the crib game Kaufman gained quite a rep, Which accounts for his showing and pep. He gives as a reason, That in life’s early season In a crib he was carefully brought up. Samuel .1. Rosenthal, Sex. At first Rosenthal seemed all feet, But at the banquet when he once took a seat, His feet weren’t in it With his mouth for a minute, For, good heavens, how' that fellow did eat! Ferdinand R. Weske, Sex. To make a hole in the line Weske was set, And through that hole he’d usually get, He thought he w7as some skate . Upon one certain date When he went through an ice-hole and got wet.

bulkeley news 15 Class Poem. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen, Is ’mons the best that Bulkeley has seen. For four short years we’ve worked here side by side On lessons long and lessons hard and tried To do our best. And now at last ’tis done, And we our work in life have just begun. Before we separate just let me tell To each a word of love, of praise, fare-well. There’s Leary, president of this good class, And foot-ball captain too, and did surpass, All captains Bulkeley has seen for years. Then Cassidy our treasurer,—three cheers For him, for he has done his duty well. And St. Germain to him I wish to tell The fine clean work that he has done for all As editor of our school paper small. And who had charge of the Foot-ball team? ’Twas Foley who we hold in high esteem. Then Belcher, he did manage our good track, With zeal and skill; we all know that’s a fact. And now I wish to name our foot-ball men— Without their help we sure would be unken. And here’s to Gaffney who did play right end, For much upon his zeal there did depend. Mulcaliey played for 11s, left tackle well, And we must give to him a hearty yell. Then Schwartz, and where did he perform with zeal? ’Twas at right-tackle where he’d never reel. And now there conies to mind our full-back man, ’Tis Weske;—not afraid of any man. And here we praise our good and strong right guard, It’s Beran who did play the game so hard. There are some substitutes I did not name Because in other things they had more fame. Baratz has changed so much in the past school year That we 110 longer feel that he is queer. And Bronstein won for us the points at track, And this for weeks did put him on his back. I mustn’t forget to name our lesson sharks,
