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)

 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)

 fje 2Dulfeelep Annual EDWARD L. JENSSEN Bookkeeping Prize 1922; Senior Commercial Club; Junior History Prize; Commercial Course. Jenssen is another of our “out-of-town” boys. He is a prize commercial scholar, but as for Spanish, it’s his Jonah—he never could get it. Neither could we, so here at least is a man who is understood. His arrogant style, winning ways and perfect decorum have found him many a cheerful female companion to sit with him in the trolley. CHARLES J. KERRIDGE—“Chawrly” Prom. Committee (3); “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Track (3) (4). Take one lingering and heart-rending look, ladies, at the Apollo Belvedere pictured here. He came, he saw and well those C. C. girls can’t resist his wiles. But do you blame them, since Charlie’s so collegiate and shakes such a mean foot when it comes to terpsichore? STUART KNOX—“Zup” Classical Course; Orchestra (4); Entre Nous; Track (4). “Zup” came to us soon after Christmas in our senior year and sure has been an asset to the class. He has a snappy appearance which never fails to attract the women. In spite of this affliction, “Zup” is a hard worker. Among his other abilities he is a musician of great note (mostly C sharp). RUSSELL M. LAY—“Sec” Senior Commercial Club; Commercial Course. Lay during his senior year spent most of his time in the office making out report cards and recording demerits, which probably accounts for his high grades and lack of demerits. Lay grew up quite suddenly in that he parted his hair in the middle, pulled his trousers down and started to wear glasses and a necktie. We hear he spends most of his time in Niantic. (23)
