Cije ulkelep Annual AARON J. SEIGAL Debating Team (3) (4); Scientific Course. Have you ever come in contact with this fellow when he was feeling like transacting business with you; has he ever tried to ring you in on the most absurd bets; and then got away leaving you victimized? If he has, you may be rest assured that you are not the only one he has bewildered. JACK I). SMITH—“Smiuie”—J. I). When the photographer told “Jack” to look pleasant he didn’t know that “Jack” thought he was trying to be sarcastic. “Jack” is always looking pleasant, and as a rule says things that make others look pleasant, too. But why shouldn’t he? Anyone who hails from Mystic will always have something to laugh about. LEON H. SOLOMON—“Chink” Leon is a good boy, with much stress on the “good.” He is like other members—a hard worker. Yes, he drives a Ford—no crime in that. WILLIAM G. SPARCO “Bill” “Princess Pat”; Pot-Pourri; Christmas Chimes; Double Quartette; Owega. “Bill” entered Bulkeley with a great handicap in that he came from Missouri; but that isn’t the worst, he was born in Westerly. His greatest fault is his acting ability. He professes to be a singer and the two are nearly unbearable. His Missouri training aided the school greatly when he played the part of a country constable in “Princess Pat.” (27)

Qttyt 2frulkele| Annual IRA RATHBUN Scientific Course. Ira is a country boy with lot of spirit. He is a hard worker and, in a few words, a good, quiet fellow. He won the football which was raffled after football season. HAROl.!) J. RUTMAN Classical Course; Orchestra (1) (3) (4). Harold entered Bulkeley with a remarkable past following him. He condescended to play in the orchestra for a few years and to attend school on time once in a while. His pet trick is to make a perfect recitation without his book open. His hair seems to be his best asset. MAURICE R. SALO—“Tessie”—“Beef” Football (4); Track (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Classical Course. Four years ago who would have thought that the quiet little lad would turn out to be the “Tessie” we know so well? He came to us a peaceful little country boy, but who can say he leaves us as he came ? “Beef” surely did make himself famous in football history when he picked up that ball in Stamford and ran for a touchdown. PERRY T. SHAFNER—“Ponzi” Manager Debating Team (4); Dramatic Club; Stage Manager “Red Mill.” Whenever we think of Ponzi we think of his beloved horse Lulu. They are seen so much together that they are beginning to look alike. It is rumored about school that “Ponzi” always kisses Lulu good-night. “Ponzi” can imitate barnyard noises to perfection.

dje ulkelep Jttnual LEON N. ST. GERMAINE—“Saint” Class Basketball (4); Football (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3) (4); Prom. Committee (3) (4); “Annual” Staff (3) (4); Class President (2). And now, ladies and gentlemen, meet St. Germain. He partakes of all school activities and shows an abundance of Bulkeley spirit. His specialty is shooting that line of his to some queen who is kind enough to listen to it. Needless to say “Saint” likes the opposite sex. CHARLES I. SUISMAN—“Sphinx” Debating Squad (3); Class Basketball (4); Class Baseball (2); Classical Course. “Sphinx” has been with us for four years and yet we find it impossible to razz him in the least. He is always ready for a frolic or a fight with anyone from Wein to Muscarella. His chief delight is to appear inattentive in Math, and when the Master calls on him he goes through the entire proposition perfectly (awful). MORRIS M. WEIN—“Weiny” Latin Prize (1); Second French Prize (3); Orchestra (1) (2) (3); Senior Prom. Committee; Classical Course. “Weiny” made himself famous in his scholarship during the early part of school years. He played in the school orchestra, where his violin did a lot of talking. We might add that he rolls a wicked ball when bowling. WALLACE G. WILSON—“Wally” “Annual” Board (4); Pot-Pourri; Double Quartette; “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Manager Track Team. In his four years with us we have found him where ladies are concerned. A good student and a hard worker. Although not active as an athlete, he has come to the front as manager of the track team. Among his other accomplishments Gcrdor is an unusual artist. (28)
