ROBERT B. TAFT Red l He couIdn't possibly escape that. And well he deserves it. A terror on the football field, a flash in the pool, a master conversationalist, Taft will give you his opinion about anything or anybody. Just aslc him. Never mind, you won't need to. Undergraduates are congratulating themselves on hearing rumors of a return to Suffield next year. 2nd Football III: Varsity Football IV: Varsity Swimming III, IV: French Club Ill: Manager Varsity Track IV. JOHN HECTOR PETERS Really a 35'er , he chose to return for a year of polishing off, deserves our open-armed welcome as an official member of our class. I-Iis good graces are always cultivated, for he's the mail man, you know. Remember the old adage, girls, The shortest way to a man's heart is through his stomach . It will really worlc here. Science Club I: 3rd Baseball I: Torch Club I, II, Vice-President III, Secretary IV: Science Club, Treasurer II: Football Squad II, Ill: Varsity Football IV: Basketball Squad II, Ill, IV: Varsity Golf II, III, IV: Student Council III, IV: French Club III: Class Vice-President Ill: Kaleidoscope IV. J. MILLS NEWBERRY Just to show you that first impressions are not always the ones that hold: Once upon a time, J. Mills was suspected of an inflated ego. Now we lcnow better. You see, sometimes handsome, well-dressed young men get that way. But not J. M.! Reserved but not aloof, easy-going but not lazy, he is, on the level, a real guy . His one love - leisure. KENDRICK PAINE Right out of Joseph C. LincoIn's Cape Cod Stories through the portals of Suffield School stepped little Kendrick some years ago. In the intervening time he has gotten himself into and out ot countless scrapes, won himself a host of friends. Other Paine firsts : as a golfer, a javeline thrower, an apple- polisher, and a shovel manipulator. Varsity Football II, III, IV: Varsity Swimming Il, III, IV, Captain III: Varsity Traclc III, IV: Honorarius Athleticus III. J. GORDON STILLSON The mad genius from Canaan. Of course, he's in no sense unbalanced but we sometimes wonder how he maintains his equilibrium with so much on his mind. Not only does he take pictures and win prizes in so doing, but as Mr. StalceIy's assistant projects them on the screen. If his range of interests, his willingness to talce responsibility, his evidence of genuine talent, his energy, are any gauge of future success we'II some day be boasting about him. Science Club III, IV: Varsity Swimming Ill: Kaleidoscope IV.

SCHUYLER J. TAYLOR, JR. Justy took a good many hard knocks in wrestling and football but always came up smiling.

Yes, Nelson rides up and away in that. These politicians, tst, tst. Student body president in his senior year, high diver, a I936 Sutfieldian ot which we're proud. Varsity Football Ill, IV: Varsity Swmiming III, IV: Baseball Squad III: Class Secre- tary Ill: Honorarious Athleticus Ill: President Student Body IV. ANDREW E. LOVE, JR. Membership in the Merry Milkers' Calf Club is an extra-school activity not to be sneezed at, we are told. Congratulations, Andrew. It you are as hard- working and efficient in your club duties as you have been as a student and as a team manager we'll save our telicitations tor the other members. Assistant Manager Varsity Baseball Il, Ill, Manager IV: Manager 3rd Football III, IV. THOMAS D. FAULKNER, JR. Somehow or other Tom got his hat in the ring and earned himselt the title ot Senator . No doubt he has what it takes. Presenting the rare combination ot a radio technician and a hurdler, he still has us a bit mystitied. Intermediate Football IV: Swimming Squad IV: Science Club IV: Varsity Track IV. ARNOLD SCOTT MONELL Happy-go-lucky Arnie is the last of a long and illustrious line of Monells. I le was one ot the class fishes this year, or - to be more Raymentesque - a member ot our natatorial team. We're sure he'll do splendidly at Iowa State next year and later as Doctor Monell, D.V.S. Football Squad ll, III, IV: Varsity Swimming III, IV: Class Treasurer III: Student Council IV.
