jpULKELBYANNUAijS® --- :t c 0.1,Id sBR 6 fl?i FREDERICK E. TUTTLE—“Tut” Tut is the champion chucklcr of the class and his bubbling humor never fails to bring us all demerits. His rise in the social world, attracted even the Hartford “Courant.” Pot Pourri (2); Pin Committee (1); Secretary (2); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3) ; Classical Course. ARNO RUDOLF VOGT—“Kid” Arno’s family are engaged in amassing plenty of dough, therefore it follows that Arno is a good mixer, Ha Ha. Kid was a pillar of strength to the basketball team; do you remember the night he broke training with a cigar? We’ll bet he does. He hasn’t given W. M. f. much of a tumble, but cheer up, girls. Remember, “Vogt’s for Women.’’ Pot Pourri (3); Football Squad (4); Basketball (3) (4); Radio Club (3); Discussion Club (2) (3) (4) ; Class Baseball (3) ; Scientific Course. GERALD EDWARD WALSH “Geg” Geg presented such an attraction to the (fair?) misses of Chapman Tech that he just had to shift to Bulkeley. ‘Twas a wise move, judge we. Scientific Course. DONALD G. WALSH—“Don” Bang! Crash ! A terrifying roar resounds through the “lab” and Donald, his eyebrows gone, clothes torn, emerges holding a broken test tube with a mysterious fluid in it and crying “Eureka.” Such are the experimenters w'hich we have had to put up with our last year. Scientific Course. 30

LOUIS SOCOL—“Louie” Bohemia, thou land of mysteries and incatations, thou land of poets and of hards; we feel thy charm O, spot divine, for in our midst is one of thine. Pot Pourri (3); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Classical Course. LUTHER RUSSELL STEBB1NS—“Steb” Another aspiring Grantland Rice. Luther breathes through a plaintive sax that might well make Ross Gorman look to his laurels. But it never will. His baseball write-ups furnish an example to cub reporters, but we refuse to say what kind of an example. There is no truth in the report that Luther has an inferiority complex. Pot Pourri (1); Concert Manager (4) Bookkeeping I’ri .e (2); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Commercial Course. CHARLES MORRIS TAYLOR—“Tarb Charley occasionally drops into history and argues with Mr. Donner. That is, he listens while Mr. Donner expostulates. Well, greater minds have withered before the attack. Tarb is a rising pharmaceutist; he works in the paternal drugstore and there let us leave him. Pot Pourri (3) ; Classical Course. ALVIN .1. THAYER— Allie” Pause, gentle reader and gaze upon the noble physiognomy of our world’s champion bicycle tourist. Fort Hill and Niagara Falls hold no terrors for his sturdy wheel and the way to success is hard plugging either on a bicycle or some other mode of transportation. Scientific Course. 29

ABRAHAM WATCH IN SKY—“Abie” We take this opportunity to thank Abie for the many recitations he delayed with his useful but pointless arguments. Abie’s tongue is the most apparent example of perpetual motion. Pot Pourri (2) (3); Debating (1) (2) (3) (4); Cross Country (4) ; Discussion Club (2) (3) (4) ; Class Baseball (2) (3) ; Classical Course. JOSEPH FRANCIS WATTERSON— Joe” At last, Bulkeley’s Grand Old Man! Joe is our local Will Rogers, and is withal a man of parts. (One in every Bulkeley production to date.) He excels in history, football, basketball, and several minor sports. Joe’s line should get him somewhere in the great, cruel world. Private Tutor (3) ; Believe Me, Xantippe (3) ; Honor Bright (4); Pot Pourri (3) (4) ; Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (4); Secretary (1) ; Class Basketball (2) (3); Class Baseball (i) (2) (3) ; General Course. LESTER BROWN WHEELER—“Les” We can tell you a lot of things about Mystic but that isn’t Lester’s fault. Once as he w-as journeying through the big city, Lester stood on a high rock and so escaped the onrushing tide of corruption. General Course. HENRY ALBERT WICKSTROM, 2nd—“Fat” Aha, the Eternal Elk! Henry is our own little organizer, and if all his fraternities were to be affiliated, they would give the Klan a run for its money. He is no miser, but he sure does appreciate good coinage. Now and then he dabbles in dramatics. Henry would be a perfect bank president. Honor Bright (4) ; Scientific Course. 31
