.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.

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.

CRAWFORD (“Lanky ) Class Basketball (1); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. “Lanky should have been christened “Longfel' low both because of his height and fine record, but to make a long story short, we all agree that the longer Lanky is with us the better we like him. ERNEST L. DECKER (“Deacon ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Trac (3). In school we find “Deacon” quiet and dignified, but away from school we find him—different. You never can tell what those unassuming fellows are thinking about. But joking put aside, “Deac” knows his “eggs when it comes to track matters. JAMES P. DEMPSEY ( Jim ) Class President (1) (2); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Budget Committee (4); Junior Ring Committee (3); Classical Course. What Ho, old Deah! 'Tis the Prince that approaches. All he needs is a monocle. Jim is noted for his exact dress, his endless search for pleasure and his scholastic ability. But, in spite of this, Mont-ville will be proud of Jimmie some day. MERRILL DREYFUS ( Barney ) Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4): Annual Board (2) (3) (4); Business Manager (4); Assistant Manager, Honor Bright (3): Advertising Manager, The Whole Town's Tallying” (4); Assistant Manager Baseball (3); Manager Football (4); Debating Team (1) (2) (3); Council (3); Dramatic Club (1) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Latin Prize (2); Advertising Manager, Regiment of Two” (3); Julius “Caesar” (3); “Editor of Junior Review (3); Classical Course. From the appearance of the list of activities above, you might think that “Barney” was of quite some importance, but we know him better. The dear, little boy seems to have the knack of managing nearly everything. The funniest thing about “Barney” is his girlish giggle.
