JBulkeley Annual 19 26 'A o,i jrt --s = 3 - jiSC - BULKELEY ARMANDO L. BRUSA ( Bruse ) Pin Committee (1): “Julius Caesar'' (3); Junior Review (3); Class Baseball (2); Classical Course. Lo and behold! in our midst we have a stranger. He hails from the great open spaces, Poquiogh, the land of men (also of women and children). In spite of Bulkeley's good training, Brusa's savage nature often reveals itself when Einhorn appears. We know for a fact, though, that time tames even the wildest man. GEORGE H. BYLES (“Hun”) Classical Course. Hun's silence and dignified manner will make him a fine candidate for filling his father's shoes and undertaking the task of undertaking. If silence denotes a pensive man, then Hun is an ultra thinker. FERRIN CALLAHAN (“Fel ) Potpourri (4); Commercial Course. Here's a man that Ireland can be proud of. Fel doesn't have to shout his ability around the school. His quiet ways and fine ability speak for themselves. Fel's spellbinding strains did much toward bringing home the bacon in the Potpourri. JOSEPH W. CLARK (“Joey ) Radio Club (2) (3); Biology Club (4); Classical Course. Ladies and gentlemen, the character in this cell is a detriment to the historical welfare of the country. It has never been quite clear in Joey's mind whether Columbus crossed the Delaware or the Pacific Ocean. But he does know that W. M. I. is on Broad Street and that Mr. Pasquale uses no discretion in handing out demerits. But then Joey is of a good sort.

Bulkeley Annual 19 9.6 a- L' -:1 'r» 11 jf C ? ■ • ’ ... i 11 ■ Jls r - ■»'‘i!.i .. 3- 532 3 »: : JAMES H. ALLYN ( Jim ) Class Day Committee (4): Junior Review (3); Annual Board (Editor-in-chief) (4): Radio Club (4); Dramatic Club (4); The Man Without a Head ' (4); Potpourri Committee (4); Classical Course. Brains and ability are Jim’s main characteristics— pretty good ones, we say. The way that Jim took hold of the Annual Board to whip it into shape may he seen in the book itself. His scholastic ability needs no praise for it speaks for itself. So let’s say that he is going over big and let him alone. DONALD H. BATTLES ( Bat ) Julius Caesar (3); Junior Review (Editor-in-Chief) (3); Annual Board (4); Radio Club (Treasurer) (4); Classical Course. It doesn't seem possible that such a great amount of brains could occupy such a small place, but then, good things usually come in small packages. When “Don sets out to do a thing, nothing under the sun can stop him. (N. B.: This is the cattish little thing that wrote Barney's biography). CHARLES BRIGGS (“Pat ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Basketball (1); Tracks (3). Pat delights in mimeograph machines. Just before exams Pat is especially popular, but then, he is always popular. You can tell Pat a mile off by his grin. He even smiles when he is playing baseball (classical), and that is saying something. LESTER J. BROWN ( Let ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Classical Course. You might think Let stands for “let well enough alone, but such is not the case. He has even been known to have stuck his nose in a French book on occasions. They sometimes call him “Nut, but it is only in reference to his relation with the “nut brown maiden; Let” is nobody’s fool.

.Bulkeley Annual, 19 26 Si V EDWARD P. COLLINS (“Eddie ) Football (2) (3) (4): Baseball (2) (3) (4); Class Baseball (1) (2); Basketball (3); Committee on Regiment of Two” (3); Potpourri (4); Committee on Junior Play (3); Committee on Senior Hop (4); Classical Course. Take notice, ye college football coaches, for here’s a man headed straight for the All-American team. Eddie's real purpose in attending school has never been quite clear to us, but we believe that it is for the sole purpose of becoming an athlete. Boasting is an institution that Eddie never indulges in; he figures that actions speak louder than words. EDWARD R. COMSTOCK (“Cummy ) Class Baseball (2) (3): Annual Board (4); Radio Club (Secretary) (4); Scientific Course. Wipe that grin off your face, “Cummy, and let the people see what you look like. Never mind him, kind readers, he always was shy, and modesty delights in seeking cover. But seriously, Cummy is a real hero, for in 1924 he sacrificed his collar bone to his Alma Mater, and football. And between you and me, Cummy hits everything as hard as he hit the line in that fatal game. RAYMOND R. COOPER ( Ray”) Classical Course. Who said that Ray’s initials, R. R., stand for railroad? There is an old saying that if your initials spell something, you will be lucky. If that is the case, Ray may sometime be president of the C. V. If he does, we will all remember him on boat-race day. JOSEPH L. COWHEY (“Hump ) Basketball Squad (3): Class Treasurer (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3): Junior Play Committee (3); Budget Committee (4); Junior Ring Committee (3); Julius Caesar” (}); Senior Hop Committee (4); Potpourri (4); Football (4); Classical Course. Ah! What have we here—a budding politician, with as wicked a line as ever landed a sucker. There's been a great deal of scandal about the mysterious letters that Hump” has been receiving from Leominster. Looks bad, Joe. Oh yes! Hump has played football, too. Of course he earned his letter: do you think that Joe would work all season and not get what he tried for, that’s not Joe.
