M.. was DAVID S'I'liRNli IDONOVAN i917-'19 Corin' David entered Ciunnery in the fall of '17 and imme- diately proved himself a true esthetic. A love of the arts. namely music, literature. architecture, and painting plus a sincere interest in current events and international relations accented Davids life at The Gunnery. Davids particular interest. however,was organ music more than anything else. He tried to fancy himself a critic of theology, drama. and church architecture, Save for an occasional attempt at skiing. athletics held no attraction for David who preferred to tly among the classics and try to display his talents in the intel- lectual lield. David argued vigorously in the Philosophy Club meetings and won the Time Current Events Test through constant plodding through his stack of last year's Time Magazines. All remember Davies daily dashes to breakfast. Wliile running against time and over obstacles, David man- aged to adjust his necktie. don his jacket and leap over playful dogs. His ten-second flights were artfully contrived, but David was late as often as not due to slow starts. David plans to become a teacher after he has completed his courses at Colby. David has yet to receive the proper recognition due him for his uncompromising love of the arts and classics but we can justly call him an esthetic and by so doing acknowledge a superior being. ITRANCQOIS DIZMEY 1948-'-49? Lftsuvrzasrrv or Gnifrsir One of the most interesting new personalities at The Gunnery this year was Francois deMey whose home is Ghent, Belgium. Iirancois was quiet but would rally to an argument with passion and excitement. Ile is an accomplished portrait painter, and has studied art most of his life. Wlien he was twelve years of age he had studied among other things German, Flemish. linglish. French. various math and science courses, two history courses. geography. the literature of the aforementioned languages, to say nothing of ecclesiastical studies as well as such esthetic and cultural pursuits as art, music and sculpture. Francois played soccer but confessed open-mouthed amazement at the stress laid upon athletics here. Francois also stated that our large cities, such as New York and Boston, were unimpressive and merely similar to any large liuropean city. On the whole, Francois has gained much from this experienceg learning the American way of life. Certainly there could be no greater step toward world peace and good-will than a mutual understanding of one another among tonrorrows citizens. During the summer he plans to travel to the XVest Cloast and to see as much of the United States as possible before returning to Belgium and college. A
