a5-30' FRANKLIN BERNARD MATTHIIZS 19-16-'49 Noitiukov AIERONAUTICAL ScHoo1. A refugee from the Bartlett conflagration, Pete has com- pleted three prosperous years at The Gunnery. Although his principal interests and talents lay in mechanics and airplane assembly, Pete engaged in various phases of school life, During his off-moments The Little Pilot tinkered with his airships and engines. His models, neatly constructed and designed, revealed his efforts of craftsmanship and skill. Pete's main contribution to the schools curricular activi- ties revealed itself in the managerial sphere rather than the athletic sphere of Gunnery sport life. In this field he showed his real worth. Aiding the head managers of virtually every sport in his two years of apprenticeship, Pete received major letters this year for managerial work in football, basketball, and baseball. Our ringer manager willingly rendered valuable assistance to the teams, diligently per- forming the various duties which his position entailed. Acting as corridor monitor, Rotundo's booming voice could be heard nocturnally calling lights through the halls of Brinsmade. In addition, he aided The Gunnery News board, serving as assistant business manager. Pete termi- nated his three years with an acceptance at Northrop Aero- nautical School. IQIDWARIRD JOSEPH LALUMIA 19,28-U19 BROWN A one year boy, Lum has spent a fruitful and eventful year at The Gunnery. Noted for his easy temperament and ready smile, Prof was sure to be present at any session of hilarious nature, revealing some strange and lucid tales of his Naval adventures in the Bahamas. During the months the Prof was at Gunnery he not only maintained a con- sistent level scholastically, but showed an easy prowess in all forms of sports. He won his first major letter in football where his bonefbruising tackles constantly menaced the opposing teams. During the winter term, Tom was unde- cided as to which coach to blessg Mr. Sturges and hockey, or Mr. Beebe and basketball, but he turned his full attention to a nurse in the VUaterbury Hospital where he found him- self without his appendix. Returning to school after his unbearable confinement, Tom roamed center field on the varsity baseball team and earned his second letter, Tom ruled despotically in his monitorship at the cottage, and thanks to his good nature, said cottage is still in existence. The Mayor intends to enter the field of law or journalism after his graduation from college. s4,iWv '
