IBulkeley Annum 19 25 i i KVm mu 'g00fi E fff LARRY R. MUSCARELLA—“Musty” It seems to be the inalienable right of every class to claim among its number at least one person v.h nevei ceases to smile. The class of ’25 was n.-,t chtalec' in this respect for here is the never worry oi our class. Commercial Course. THOMAS .1. NAGLE—“Kid” Kid is one of the members of the “be prepared boys.” He lives up to this motto for we never knew anything to come up that he wasn’t prepared for. When the end of the world was propheci .ed, he went out and bought an overcoat on the installment plan Commercial Course. ALBERT HENRY NEFF—“Artie” Artie is an enigma. If he has ideas, he keeps them to himself. The world would be a lot better off if certain egotistical wiseacres would follow his example. Commercial Course. EDMUND GEORGE NOCERY—“Noc” Ed is another of our ardent disciples of Terpsichore. Any night will find him on any dance floor in the city with any girl. He hasn’t any particular girl; those he has aren't too particular. But he can play football. Football Squad (3) (4); Scientific Course. 26

JAMES HOWLAND LATHAM—“Jim” limmie is a noisy member of that unique combination of musicians, Hutchinson’s Symphonians. (Adv.) By the by he translates Virgil with great fluency anti also stars in Monsieur Hcrtell’s domestic science class. We know he’ll make a very successful banker. Football (4) ; Class Secretary and Treasurer (.I); French Prize (3); Class Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. JOSEPH LUBOW—“Joe” Joe scrapes the bull-fiddle when he is not scintillating in Algebra. Perhaps there is some connection between the two occupations. He wields a vitriolic pen on behalf of the Annual, and his three years in the Discussion Club demonstrate his (lair -for conversation. He is given to ribald derision of our beloved instructors, but despite this, Mr. Pierce will miss the sonorous strains he evokes in next yetu s orchestra. Discussion Club (2) (3) (4); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Annual Board (4) ; Classical Course. EDWARD MANSFIELD—“Pum” Ice melts once in a while, (ask his girl), but he soon freezes up again. He is a veteran first baseman and everything that doesn’t get by, lie stops. Baseball (2) (3) (4); Class Baseball 1); Classical Course. GRISWOLD MORGAN—'“Griggy In the good old days, beaux like Griggy were known as “parlor snakes.” About eighteen indignant young swains are still laying in wait with shotguns for this industrious would-be homebreaker. Some night he’ll get his, and we hope we’re there to see it. Pot Pourri (2); Class Baseball (2) (3); Pin Committee (1); Classical Course. 25

JOSEPH WILLIAM PARISI—“Dazzy” Joe fondles a hot trumpet in the school orchestra. He pitches a mean ball, and he has been observed trotting around the track once or twice in his career. He has dabbled in lowly jazz several times in the past year, but nothing real serious, know. Pot Pourri (3); Baseball (2) (3) (4); Track (1) (2); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Scientific Course. GEORGE PATON—“PATE” George is another math shark; they belong to a race apart. He is equally good in history and chemistry, but despite these handicaps he is popular. He will probably garner a diploma labelled “Magna Cum Laude,” but we can’t help liking the sap. (Pardon the misprint; that word should be “chap.”) Baseball Squad (2) ; Basketball Squad (2) (4) ; Radio Club (3) (4); Treasurer (3); Class Baseball (3) ; Scientific Course. GEORGE DENNISON REEVES—“Dub” What can be said about Dub? Your life free from scandal, and eccentricity. Is it, I wonder Radio Club (3); Class Baseball (1); Commercial Course. ROBERT GRIFFITH SHANKLIN—“Shank This rare exotic bloom burst into full flower during the past year. For some time the Faculty of Bulkeley were puzzled by his actions. They didn’t know whether the lad was attending Bulkeley or W. M. I. Some day Bob will outgrow his childish tricks, and then he’ll make a good wife for some wench.
