His powerful voice made him in- valuable to Mr. Beebe. For three years he was coxswain of Gunnery's First Boat. His boats have beaten every school they have raced against, and have twice won the New England Schoolboy Championships at Quinsigamond. This year Dean was Captain of the victorious squad. His gamboling and cavorting, coupled with his ever audible voice, kept school spirit alive in victory and in defeat when he was a cheerleader.
