HYMAN ITZKOWITZ (“Hymie ) Class Baseball (2) (3); Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. Hymie is another of the fellows who occupy “Pullman seats in sixth period History class. When a fellow's marks soar toward the blue, and he himself is well liked, what more is there to say? GEORGE E. KINMONTH (“Kimmie ) Classical Course. Wal, by heck, a man from the old home town, amid the farmyards and clamshells. Kimmie's one joy is realized when he corrects Math papers. Everybody likes Kimmie, but not on account of the Math papers. His blue eyes and crinkly blonde hair must play havoc with the Mystic girls' hearts. WILLIAM KIP (“Van ) Editor in Chief, Junior Review (3); Tennis Team (2) (3) (4); Budget Committee (4); Radio Club (4). Here's a man! Every corner of his rectangular dome chuckful of fine ideas. We often wondered how Van can be so popular at both Bulkeley and W. M. I., and at the same time keep his marks above par. MILTON KOSOWSKY (“Mashie ) Debating Squad (1) (2); Biology Club (3) (4); Classical Course. Mashie’s silver tongue and extensive vocabulary should, in some future time, help him toward attaining a position as a buttonhole salesman for a reliable concern.

RALPH GREENE Commercial Course Gentle Reader, do not be deceived. Ralph's surname has not the slightest connection with his character. On the contrary, we find him anything but “green.” Ralph generally knows what he is talking about when he says anything. He is always ready to give a fellow a helping hand. MAURICE HENDEL (“Moish ) Orchestra (1); Debating Squad (1); “Regiment of Two” (3); ' Weasel'’ (3); Potpourri (3) (4); Vice President Dramatic Club (4); “Whole Town’s Talking ; Scientific Course. “Isn't that gentleman the famous actor, Mr. Mcighan? asked an interested lady. Naw,” said Gipstein, “he's neither of those; he’s 'Moish'. Maurice is the sort of fellow that production managers are looking for. His dramatic ability ranks among the first in the school. JOHN S. HICKEY (“Hick ) Pin Committee (I); Julius Caesar (3); Annual Board (4). They call him Hick, but do not run away with false impressions, for John is anything but a hick. He is one of those likables in whom one is willing to place his confidence. His literary ability and humor was sufficient to place him on the Annual Board. HARRIS HOWE ( Deacon ) Committee for Charles B. Jennings Memorial (3); Classical Course. They call him Deacon, but—well, we'll let the W. M. I. misses tell us how those magnificent curls of his entice them. Harris is a good boy, and we are sure that in due time he will contradict that adage concerning the wildness of ministers' sons, and make something really worth while of himself. BULKELEY

 lBulkeleyAnnual ,,, ..... JACOB KURLANSIK ( Jake ) Commercial Course. “Jake is a terribly busy man. Whenever we see him he is dashing around recklessly. There must be some reason for his hurry. We are told by reliable authorities that he wields a wicked brush. We mean paint, not hair. BENJAMIN A. LEVINSON ( Bennah ) Potpourri (4); Classical Course. Bennah is one of the shining lights in Math. He even makes Mr. Pierce laugh. Room 10 must be his, for it's also his favorite battling ground. The way he pitches into Gipstein is enough to make even Gabby concerned. But he will get his just deserts someday, if everything that Gabby says comes true. ROBERT McCRACKEN ( Mac ) Commercial Course. You've heard of Dan McGrew! Well, this gentle-man's name is McCracken. His ambition, so we've been told, is to become a cow puncher and ride the plains of Groton. (On a horse, of course.) ROBERT McCRAW (“Mac ) Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4): Junior Prom Committee; The Regiment of Two Committee; Football Squad (4); Junior Play Committee; Scientific Course; Bulk eley Serenaders. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but seeing that he wasn’t Scotch and that Mac” didn't live in those days, Bob will have to confine his talent to Bulkeley, and between you and me, we're darn (stronger words are barred) glad of it. But never mind, Mac, we'll burn New London some day so that you'll get hunk with Nero.
