JAMES R. GILMAN—“Rip” Rip is not the most energetic fellow in the world, hut when Gabriel toots the trumpet, he’ll be there. Commercial Course. DANIEL CARLYLE GILMARTIN—“Gillie-Gillie is a smooth boy. Nothing is permitted to disturb his polish, and the gentle wave of his hair. Nevertheless, he wields a lusty tennis racquet. When he isn’t shining in Math, he can be found in the corridors, passing out cards for Moriarity’s haherdashering factory. Tennis (4) ; Manager Tennis (4); Classical Course. JAMES GRANATA—“Shiek Jim is the long distance boy who upheld the reputation of our class by his work in the various track meets. His speedy legs give him as good service on the waxed floor as on the cinder path. . Basketball Squad (4) ; Captain Cross Country Team (3) ; Commercial Course. CARL B. GRAVES—“Carle-Carl was of great assistance to the basketball team. And we’ll never forget the forward pass he caught at New Britain. But it didn’t mean a darn thing. If he does any fussing, he keeps it quiet, which is the only way to get away with anything. Football (3) ; Basketball (3) (4) ; Captain (4) ; Commercial Course. 22

EDMUND JOSEPH ESHENFELDER—“Eshic Did you ever hear the story of the Crown Prince of Germany? Well, if you haven’t, the Diocesan Bureau will tell you all about it. It doesn’t pay to fool with Ed. He will his constituents. A great man in his own bailiwick. Radio Club (3) ; General Course. HERBERT MAXIMILIAN FERN—“Maxie” Perhaps you have read of the farmer who bought a trolley car in New York and then tried to collect the fares. Herbie made that sale. The Private Tutor (3) ; Pot I’ourri (3) (4) ; Manager of Football (4) ; Assistant Manager (3) ; Junior Prom Committee (3); Class Baseball (3) ; Annual Board (3) (4) ; Business Manager (4) ; Scientific Course. JOSEPH D. GAETANO—“Git” When he is not favoring the school with his presence, Git sells limburger and doughnuts at Swanson’s. Such a combination of foodstuffs however, does not affect his disposition or digestion in the least. Commercial Course. MELVIN PARKER GAVITT—“Buck” The strength of the senior class is best exemplified by this 20th century Hercules. Bucky commands the respect of every member of the student body and incidentally of the faculty. Football (3) (4) ; Classical Course. 21

ALLYN BALDWIN GRAY—“Al When he first came to Bulkeley, Allyn was a very sedate youngster. But times have changed and so have Allyn. In his perfectly tailored person we now recognize all the latest styles as put forward by such artists as Valentino and Newman Harri-gan. Pot Pourri (2) ; Class Treasurer (4) ; Annual Board (2) (3); Classical Course. JOHN STANLEY HANOVER—‘-Jack” Darwin has come and gone, hut thank GoJ, Hanover still remains with us. This great chemist has not yet perfected the means by which mankind may hope to live forever, hut, as he calmly assures us, the worst is yet to come. Commercial Course. FREDERICK DAVEY HARRIS—“Fred” Fred is perfectly harmless since a barking dog never bites, and we are pretty sure that Fred will not stop barking for a long, long time. Football Squad (3) (4) ; Basketball Squad (3) (4) ; Radio Club (3) ; Discussion Club (2) (3) (4) ; Class Baseball (3) ; Scientific Course. MARTIN HARRIS—“Mutt” The name of Harris ranks high in baseball circles as there are two great managers by that name. The other one is Stanley of the Senators. Mutt is the best baseball manager we have had in years. Pot Pourri (2) ; Manager Baseball (4) ; Assistant Manager Football (3); Baseball (3); Radio Club (3) Discussion Club (3) (4) ; Scientific Course. 23
