BulkeleyAnnuad I r i a sz A) 19 Q 6 ! •. - i'll! Jf £ . 5 5 £ » GEORGE S. 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.

.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.

Bulkeley Annual 19 26 'I: O » i'- ©‘I v M HARRY EINHORN (“High Hat ) Classical Course; Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4); “Regiment of Two (3); The Weasel” (3); The End of the Rope (4); President of the Dramatic Club (4). It's really surprising what a city like Leominster can do to a formerly shrinking-violet type of youth. Behold now, the result! In the next padded cell, beloved populace, the President of the Dramatic Club, the arduous lover on and off the stage, and the great bulging chest and head of our demure (?) lounge lizard! “Darby, or rather, “High Hat, is noted for three things: his susceptibility to the Siren of Groton, his mutual dislike of cans, and his marvelous acting of a leading part in The Poor Nut. ANGELO GADA (“Alligada ) Scientific Course. Niantic must be a fine place to live in because Gada always has a grin on his face. Although he is called Angelo now, his name in the next world will be O'Angel. However, do not be deceived by this appellation, for he is a perfect devil with the ladies. JOSEPH D. GAETANO (“Joe ) Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee; Editor of Junior Review (3); Commercial Course. Babe Ruth had better watch his P's and Q's when Joe starts in. His brilliant work on Bulkeley’s nine has won a high place in our esteem. We are sure that the only thing Joe enjoys better than smashing the “horsehide is attending the sixth period History class. NORMAN A. GEORGE (“Norm ) Classical Course. Quiet and unassuming? Yes! But charged with sound knowledge that makes those who know him respect him. That's Norm through and through. He wiggles such a pair of loose-jointed feet in Math that we are sure he is a Charleston hound shark, or some kind of a bird. BULKELEY
