 fje ulkelep Annual LOUIS LEVINE—“Louey” Senior Commercial Club; Class Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Track (1); Football Squad (2); Assistant Manager Basketball (3); Captain Class Baseball (1). “Louey” is another one of the quiet element of our class, but don’t think that he has always been that way. In his freshman year he was one of our livest wires. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t try. But, 1 suppose, he realized the benefits that might be derived from hard work and accordingly settled down to attain them. ALBERT LUBCHANSKY—“Lub”—“Legs” Basketball (4), Manager (4); Track (2) (3) (4); Double Quartette (4); Assistant Manager Basketball (3); Pot-Pourri. This gent’s future is hard to predict. He carries most of the running records around in his pocket, so he might make a good messenger boy but for the reason that he never shoots crap or reads dime novels. The only thing we have against “Legs” is that he won’t let us borrow his electric curling iron. WALLACE MAC DONALD—'“Gus” Football (4); Baseball (3) (4); Vice-President (4); Class Baseball (1) (2). Gus is certainly versatile when it comes to athletics. He plays football and baseball equally well, and everybody knows how well that is. “Gus”, we would like to know if you use the same caveman stuff on the girls as you do on several members of our class. JOHN W. MAC MAHON—“Mac” Football (4); Football Squad (2); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Manager (3), Captain (4); Track (1) (2); Class Basketball (4); Underwood Typewriting Medal (3); Senior Commercial Club. Huge, husky and strong, that’s Mack. An athlete of no mean ability, he distinguished himself by being identified as captain of the basketball team and as a guard on the football squad. In spite of the fact that he has a dignified attitude and severe mien, he is always ready to have his fun and most of ours with the rest of us. (-’4)

 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)

Cfte ulkelep Annual JOSEPH MUSCARELLA—“Mush” Senior Commercial Club; Football (4); Basketball (4); Class Basketball (4). “Mush” is a son of a son of sunny Italy. He has blossomed out during the year, playing on the football and basketball teams. On the trip to Leominster, it is said that he broke the heart of more than one girl of that city (ask Barry). BERNARD C. PECK—“Bernie”—“Bushnell” Football (3) (4) (2); Baseball (2) (1) (4); Prom. Committee (3). “Bernie” came to Bulkeley with the makings of a perfect athlete. He showed remarkable skill on the gridiron, being considered the best end in the state. His athletic career wound up on the diamond after being elected captain. He made a large number of friends at Bulkeley. DONALD G. PRINCE—“Dimp” Class Basketball (4); Commercial Course; Senior Commercial Club; “Orange and Black (2); Treasurer (3). “Dimp” is properly named, for he has two of the cutest dimples that were ever seen. These, with the aid of his patent-leather hair, captivate all of the young ladies of our sister school. “Dimp” will find it hard to get a job in an office where there are any of the opposite sex, for no employer likes to compete with his help. Therefore, we would advise that he start in business for himself. ELBERT P. RATHBIN Gug” Scientific Course. “Gug” is not exactly our idea of a sheik—but who can tell about these Noank fellows, anyhow? The only thing that we have against him is that he is inclined to generate H=S at most unsuitable times. We might add that he is immune from the effects of this scented odor. (25)
