 Ije ulkelep Hnnual AVERY W. FITCH—“Doc” “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Scientific Course. Doc is small, but there is a proverb that runs something to the effect that good things come in small packages; perhaps you know all about it—at least, you should know “Doc”, for he is one you can always place the utmost confidence in. EDWARD FOWLER—“Captain Eddie—“Ed “Red Mill”; Football (3); Captain (4); Track (3) (4); “Princess Pat”; Prom. Committee (4); Pot-Pourri; Double Quartette; “Annual” (3) (4); Radio Club; Entre Nous. Here we have a man of ability—an athlete, artist and ardent admirer of the fair sex. As an athlete he captained the football team. When it comes to drawing, he’s there—posters are his specialty. As an admirer of the—Well, anyway, Eddie sure can dance. EMIL J. GAGNON—“Red” French Prize; Assistant Football Manager (4); Assistant Baseball Manager (4). “Red” is one of that likable sort of fellows and is always ready to lend a hand. We hardly knew that he belonged to our class until he budded out as Assistant Manager of Football. “Red” isn’t a grind, but prizes don’t come naturally, do they? EDWARD CIPSTEIN—“Gip”—“Cippie” School Leader Medal 1920; English Prize 1920; Mathematics Prize 1920; Editor “Bulkeley Siren” (2); “Annual” (3) (4), Chairman (4); School Leader Medal 1922; Mathematics Prize 1922; Classical Course. “Gippie” is our pride and envy. He is our model so far as brair.-work is concerned. If any one comes around with a Math, example and says, “Gip did it”, we are absolutely sure that it is right. It never pays to argue with him, for he always knows what he is talking about, and, more than that, he is always right. (21)

 Cfje 2?ulkelej Annual ROBERT I.. BRENNAN—‘-Bob” Football (4); “Red Mill”; Classical Course. “Bob” is just the kind of a fellow we can’t help but like. He has a goodly amount of Irish humor and his freckled face is always adorned with a smile. We should razz him in one way or another, but he is such a reg’lar fellow we haven’t the heart. THEODORE L. DANFORTH— “Ted”—“Dub”—“Pickle” Classical Course; Vice-President (3). “Ted” is our idea of a quiet, unassuming fellow. He is chuck full of a subtle humor all his own. When it comes to stepping out Ted is right there. He holds the undisputed title of class lady-killer. Well, Teddy, when you stand behing the pulpit don’t deliver your sermon on the evils of women. HUBERT A. DOWNING—“Hub”—“Hubbie” “Annual” (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Pot-Pourri; Baseball (4); Prom Committee (4). “Hubbie” is a cue artist. He is seriously considering writing a text book on “Shooting Pool Scientifically.” He finds that the average poolplayer does not talk to the ivory balls enough. (We all know what a little talk to other ivories will do.) AARON ELFENBEIN—“Bones” Pot-Pourri; Orchestra (1) (3) (4); “Bulkeley Siren” (2); “Princess Pat” (4); Double Quartette. Cast your glance upon the face of our clever ballet dancer. Many have seen Bones perform: in fact, he is so clever that even the Egyptian dancers try to imitate his syncopated movements. Bones is the envy of all the rest of us because the ladies “just love his dancing.” (20)

C|)e 2frulfeelej Annual JOHN S. GRAY—“Johnnie” Classical Course. Johnnie’s a quiet chap with a well-developed sense of humor. He was barn with a pack of cards in one hand and a book of riddles in the other. He’s full of funny stories which he is always letting loose, but the one he likes to tell best is the one about his initiation into the T. S. CLARENCE F. HALL—'“Euclid” Athletic Council (4); Radio Club; “Annual” Board (3); Junior Science Prize; Sophomore Spanish Prize. Hall, better known as “Euclid”, broke into Bulkeley’s “Hall of Fame” by his remarkable scholarship. He is another of the sedate, learned group of our class. There seems to be nothing in Chemistry that Hally has overlooked. He intends to study engineering; in our estimation he is sure to make a success in that field. MICHAEL J. HALL I SKY—“Mike” Orchestra (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Pot-Pourri (4); Prom. Committee (4). Work seems to be Mike’s middle name. He is one of the hardest pluggers in the class. Whatever he attains comes only after a good deal of labor. Unluckily Mike’s ambitions for the football squad were cut short when he was injured in early practice. Well, Mike, we wish you the best of luck in life. ROBERT T. HENKLE—“Bob” Football Manager (4), Assistant Manager (3); “Red Mill; “Princess Pat”; Pot-Pourri; Xmas Chimes; “Bulkeley Siren” (2); Secretary and Treasurer (4); Class Basketball (4); Orchestra (1) (3) (4); “Annual” (3) (4). Bob’s a born comedian, gifted with a wit that borders on genius, which makes him feel perfectly at home on the stage. He showed great capability in his football managership. Everybody will agree that Bob’s a bright spot on the horizon of acquaintances. (22)
