JBulkeleyAn 19 25 HARTWELL ALVIN BAXTER—“Allle.” Behold ye, Bulkeley’s champion keyboard tickler. Baxter is very popular, especially around exam, time. The click-click of the typewriter is music to his ears, that’s why he bought a flivver. Bookkeeping Prize (1); Commercial Course. DONALD WILLIAM BELCHER—“Don” Don is the class traveller to say the least. He has been everywhere from Noank to Hong Kong. After a year in the big city, we rather bored him with our small town stuff. According to latest reports he has again vanished. Scientific Course. LORENZ DOBBS BELLINGER—“Dpbbic” Bellinger is an excellent example of the silent, thoughtful fellow. Like Coolidgc, he prefers listening to talking. As manager of track, he showed his business ability 'to advantage. Pot Pourri (3); Manager Track (4); Assistant Manager, Football and Baseball (3); Discussion Club f3) (4) ; Radio Club (3) (4); Class Baseball (3); Special Course. HOWARD BENT—“Squaw-Squaw is a quiet boy, not exceptionally noted for his precocity. Mr. Donner searched through the history class for an entire year before he finally discovered who was making the vulgar noises under his breath. And then Howard only got two demerits. Football Squad (3) (4); Scientific Course. 18

FRANCIS GORDON ALLANACH—“PETE” Pete enjoys the distinction of heading the Senior Roll, not by his achievements, but by the name his father brought him. Classical Course. JOHN THOMAS ALLEN—“Johnny” Johnny presents an interesting anomaly. Possessing no mean intellect, nevertheless he also finds delight in the more physical aspects of school life. He is the sole oasis that Mr. Pierce finds in the mathematical desert, and he captured the history prize in his junior year. Debating Squad (3) ; Track Squad (4) ; History Prize (3); Discussion Club (2) (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3) ; Classical Course. WALTER JOSEPH BARRY—“Jumping Joe” In the first decade of the 20th century, God looked upon the earth, and was dissatisfied. And so He made in His own image, Joe Barry, and offered him as gifts, perseverance and collosal nerve. And fellows, he never refused a gift.

WILLIAM BOOTH—“BILL” Bill is noted for his heavy stick work and has (|uitc a few home runs chalked up to his credit. Sergeant Cavanaugh is looking for the man who stole all the bases at Morgan Park last week. Watch ou,t, Bill! Football (3) (4); Baseball (1) (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) ; Classical Course. HARRY W. BUNTING—“Judge” They probably labelled Harry “Judge” because he doesn’t in the least look judicial. He frequently assaults the passive typewriter, and he deems himself a wit. It is not for us to say, however. Officially, he was on the Annual Board, but only officially. We forgive ’im that but we can’t forgive some of his “jokes.” Pot Pourri (3) ; Annual Board (4) ; Commercial Course. WILLIAM BUTLER CARTER—“Red,” “Nick” Red plays tennis for diversion. He has a little trouble off and on during the year with the unfair sex, but wc are glad to report that things seem to be going smoothly at present. Red deserves a few good breaks for a change, and we wish him the best of luck. Baseball Squad (3) (4) ; Tennis Squad (4) ; Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Commercial Course. OLIVER FRANCIS COOPER—“Fat” Fat, as the name suggests, is one of the more ponderous members of our class. His poise (and averdupois) together with his schoolgirl complexion have oft excited the envy of his less pulchritudinous Classmates. Discussion Club (2) (3) (4); Radio Club (3) ; Classical 'Course. 19
