For several years -we should hate to say how many -Jack has been oflieial bow-tier of the school, and it is sadly probable that tuxedos will have to be given up in Dummer unless some new talent can be discovered. The same writer who made the above statement also remarks that he who plays a musical instrument is assured of popularity, but we doubt that the noises which ,lack prove kes frcm the clarinet will ever make him anything but tolerated. Before there was a smoking club, John held the title of champion draft rigger of Dummerg but as the poet has it, Them days is gone forever. Jack has always made out rather well with those designed to help but sure to hinder us in this earthly existenceg witness when hliss Brown gave the senior table chicken, and every one else had ham. However, in spite of the so-called charms which he probably thinks he has, Jack has stuck pretty close to the one and only. HOh, five years ago they used to kill us. But that was the old regime. . 1 12 1 T H IC M l I . li S 'I' C J N li FRANK LAWRENCE WHALEN Washington, D. C. Classical Course lfntered seliool 1918.

Wlieii introducing a girl to Al always remember to whisper in her ear that there's no chance. Many' a girl has wasted futile hours trying to draw him on.

Vile soon found out the he Was a Fascist, a fact which rather awed usg for in most of our ignorant minds fascisti were somehow associated with banditti. liventually we discovered that Andy could draw, and from that moment on he has not had a minute's peace. Andy is an aeroplane fiend. His sole ambition is to build the wonder plane ofthe age, and it was no small shock to him to find from an authentic source that most of the aeroplanes he had so painstakingly drawn would be unlikely to fly. Nlost of us think that if Andy becomes an engineer, a good artist will be lost to the World. So far Andy has dragged',to every dance, but there has been no evidence so far of his having been badly smitten. Andy loves to putter about in the laboratory and put things together to see what will happen, but through some miracle or other the school house still stands, though stains on the lah. ceiling show where the unexpected has happened. ffizagiit no!

The time was when lNlouse could hold his younger brother in check, but since then Farley has grown up a bit. The blouse plays in the outfield and is generally conceded to be the luckiest man ever to put on baseball shoes. If there is no other way for him to reach base, the first baseman is usually kind enough to drop dead, oi someone drops the ball, or something else happens. The other day When Mouse slid a base, we heard a clankwhich we think might have been a horse shoe in his pocket. Mouse has not been so very successful in sticking to the O.A.O., 'so it seems.

Barney always drags in with an average that sounds like an advertisement for Ivory soap. Whether Barney studies hard or whether he just has that reputation is rather hard to tell, but we suspect it's the former. Barney has no bad habits, in which trait he is like a disgustingly large number of the class. He is more or less of at woman hater, but we would like to know about that little blonde girl, who came out tothe Sophomore dance with him. Barney knows all about the iish business, which is convenient on Fridays, inasmuch as we always know what we're getting. This Winter Barney brought his mathematical mind to bear on spec , with the result that he soon became a prodigyg but this triumph was short-lived, for XYatkins snatched his title right back. If Barney is remembered for no other reason he will be remembered for his laugh. Wrhen he latihs, he starts in by making low moans, meanwhile shaking all over. The moans rise to a shrill cackle: the shaking grows worse 1 then the disturbance subsides. The Whole performance reminds one of a volcanic eruption. XYhy, I haven't a prayer of making the honor roll this month. No chance at all. i 19 1 T H E M I L E S T O N E CURTIS GARDNER WATKINS Gardner, Mass. General Course Entered school 1923.

If you talk to him l:1VC minutes, you will find that out. Incidentally he will tell you how many chairs were made in Gardner the year before and how Gardner stood in the baseball league. Burr is a walking Chamber of Commerce. Burr has rejuvenated the art of moustache growing, which had declined since the days cf 'floel' Brock. At least Burr calls it a moustache and prunes and cultivates it every dayg but those who view it from a distance notice it not at all, and those who are close are rather doubtful. Typewriting is f'Burr's delight. The hard working boy is always at it Cforced to bel and often stays home from town just to typewrite. Ask Mr. Reagan. Burr is a pretty useful man on the basket ball floor and on the baseball diamond, but he cannot play either game without reminding us what a good team Gardner had last year.

IC S 'I' O N IC CLASS I'ROI'lll'lCY VVICNTY long years had passed since the Class of 1925 left llummer. It was the summer of 10-IS, and as I started on a short business trip to Paris, I wondered if I would see any of my old school-mates. I even tried to visualize each one in surroundings befitting his former characteristics, Ray as an eminent professor, maybe, Paul Capron, a renowned author, a man of leisure, Andreani, a noted scientistg Wiatkins, a financier, and all the others equally successful. The first step of my trip ended at New York. At one of the many busy news-stands I bought an evening paper, and the large headlines immediately caught my attention. 'flackson Traps Tobacco Smugglers. I unfolded the paper and beheld the familiar features of 'Qlackf' Below the picture was his ofiicial title, Chief Inspector Ii. R. jackson of the U. S. Tobacco Prohibition Squad. The title did not seem to fit him, and I wondered what circumstances could possibly have brought him to such a position. 'The next morning I left for France on a great trans-Atlantic air liner. VVhile sitting on the deck, I heard the barbarous wail of modern music and wandering inside, I saw the laboring orchestra at one end of the long saloon. The agile antics of the leader, whose back was turned to me, drew my admiration. His urging gestures called forth the utmost efforts of the players, and the frantic waving of his arms produced an harmonious battle of instruments. The piece ended amid shrill notes and sonorous crashes, and the leader turned to his audience and bowed. I immediately recognized my former roommate, Lornie Vfihaleng and I went forward to greet him. He joined me later on the deck, and our conversation in time turned to our old class. H 'Barney' Ray went across on this ship last week, he said. Is he some big professor now? I asked, wondering if my guess had been right. A professorf' he laughed, Haven't you heard of 'Ray's Fleet' yet? Oh, a fleet, I said. I suppose he's in the fishing business. Well, not exactly, he replied. He's the greatest bootlegger the country has ever known. I-Ie's made his fortune now though, and I guess he's going to give up his business. I heard him say that he would like to try detective' work. Barney as a bootlegger was quite a surprise, but I secretly hoped I Would be able to get in touch with him before he went out of business. Tell me about ff. E.', he said. I haven't heard of him for years. I'lI tell you about him, I replied, but I'm afraid you'll be rather surprised. You see he has his degrees as Doctor of Letters and Doctor of I25I T H E M I L E S T O N E Philosophy, and he is now studying Paleantology and Neuropathology, and doing a little work in Phagedaenology. He also writes a bit on the side. This news was, I believe, a little too much even for I,ornie. I landed at Paris the next morning and went immediately to a hotel. That same afternoon as I was strolling down one of the wide busy streets, I noticed a large gilded sign which read, f'Le Palais de la Beaute, Les Artistes Tonsorial, lXfIonsieur C. G. Wfatkins, Proprietor. I ventured into the shop and asked one of the gesticulating white-garbed assistants if I might see the proprietor. Ah, mais non, monsieur, he said, shrugging his shoulders and wringing his hands, lXfIonsieur 'Watkins eez at ze meeting of ze Barbars' Union. They are setting ze new fall styles for ze moustachesf' Nloustaches, they did seem more appropriate than finances for Watkins. f'Does he still wear that big moustache himself?', I asked, thinking of his futile efforts at school. The attendant smiled as he replied, 'fAh, non m'sieur, he couldn't make eet grow. But he sets the stylesg and they are famous. I left the shop quite amused with this picture of my former class-mate. During my stay in Paris I met another of my class-mates, but unfortunate circumstances prevented my acknowledging this recognition. I was sitting on a bench in the Champs-Elysees one warm sunny afternoon when a fanatical looking man came rushing up the walk and dropped on the bench beside me. His unusual features, although hidden by long hair and a drooping beard, reminded me strongly of Andreani, old Andy Gumpl' of my class. I was just about to speak to him when he burst forth with a voluble flow of arguments and pleadings. -It was Andy, and he didn't recognize me. He tried first to sell me some stock in an airplane company, then the airplanes, then the business, then his invention itself. As he spread his elaborate designs before me, I recalled the encouraging words an expert had once offered on viewing this young man's drawings, They're all very good, Andy, but you know they won't Hy. When a gentle breeze sent him scrambling after an elusive paper, I deemed the opportunity fair for making my escape. I hated to disappoint the poor man, but what could I do with an airplane business! I decided to return to the United States by water. I took passage on a new American ship, and on the second morning out I had the good fortune to meet the captain and more good fortune to know him. He was Paul Capron, once more commonly known as Pep, I met him as he came down off the bridge, and recognizing him, I stopped him and made my presence known. He asked the privilege of showing me around his ship, a strange request for the Captain himself to make, I thought, but our tour E261 T H F M I I, If S 'I' O N lf of inspeetion ended in a seeluded eorner of the deck where the Captain sank into a ehair and lit a long, blaek, smoky eigar. l sat down beside him, and he began to talk about his ship. She was the greatest ship he had ever had, he told me. Isle named his former ships, live in all, some of which l knewg and now he said he had the greatest of them all. My eongratulations on his eoniplete sueeess were interrupted by the appearanee of an oflieer accompanied by two brutal looking sailors. The Captain jumped up and, to my great surprise, started down the deek on a dead run pursued by the two sailors. l looked up to the ollieer for an explanation. But - he was a Captain, too. I'm very sorry if my steward has annoyed you, Sirf' he said. You see he likes to make people think he is Captaing and this morning he took one of my uniforms and some of my Cigars, and I have just found him. If he has bothered you, Sir, he will be punished. I assured him that I had not been annoyed, but for the rest ofthe journey l made it a point to keep away from the Captain's steward. Arriving in New York, I took a taxi from the doek to my hotel. Speed- ing down Forty-second Street, we were suddenly smashed on the side by another taxi. A large portly man jumped out and began to abuse my driver. I heard him. give his name to his driver as hlr. Albert VV. Horr. Here was another classmate, but it was an abrupt way to meet him. Sud- denly two pretty young girls got out of his taxi, chorus girls maybe, or stenographers. Having a natural aversion to sueh creatures, I made a hasty escape and took another taxi to the hotel. On my way from New York to my home, I thought a great deal of the trip I had taken. I had seen or heard of all my Dummer elass-matesg was I satisfied? I think I was a little disappointed with some, but I was glad to find that all were happy at the work they had chosen.

This tree grew quite near the edge of the clific and apart from the tangle of bushes and saplings, pulling itself away from the common herd, as it were, exactly like a snobbish woman at a gathering in the Italian quarter. Pandora had often wondered how it had managed to withstand the winter gales which swept the coast. Her thoughts on this particular evening, however, were far from winter storms and weather-beaten trees. She was thinking, as she usually was, of the sea and of what lay beyond it. She longed to be, as Kipling expresses it, on the long trail, the out trail, the trail that is always new. Pandora was homesick. She wanted India, the land of her birth, with all the ardor of one who has not been home for years. Pandora barely E401 i T H IC M T I. li S 'I' U N IC remembered the baking, parebed earth of the plains and the cool green of the hills. She could scarcely renienvber her ayalz or the bungalow at Simla, but she could remember enough to make her feel homesick and lonesome and neglected. lcler father had been to lfngland only three times on what seemed terribly short leaves, and her mother had died when she was born. It was not that her aunt didn't love her, or that that poor lady did not do her best for the child, but Pandora's aunt was a very matter of fact old lady who took things very much for granted, and she did not understand Pandora at all. Pandora sat and dreamed of the time when her father would come and take her lack with him, that she might keep house for him. That time, he had intiniated in his last letter, was not very far distant: and that thought encouraged Pandora. So she sat and gazed across the channel as the Danish women used to gaze, waiting for him to return. The moon threw its spotlight directly on a rock which lay in the water just within jumping distance of the little beach at the foot of the cliff. Upon this rock someone was sitting, staring steadily at the waters of the channel. Pandora could see only his headg and at first she did not notice that it was not the rock itself,until she remembered that there was no rock which could be seen from her accustomed seat. She ran over to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The occupant of the rock was poised ready to jump ashore. He leaped and started to clamber up a fissure in the cliff. Pandora,s first thought was to run, but the curiosity which brought about the introduction of evil into the world in both the Bible story and the Greek myth held her. She felt incensed at this intrusion upon her private retreatg but at the same time she was curious to see what the intruder looked like, which motive, to say the least, was truly feminine. Perhaps she had better run after all, she thought. She stood hesitating, like some ephemeral spirit about to vanish into the clouds. After some hesitation she decided that it would be cowardly to run away, and thus salved her conscience. By this time the climber had almost reached the top of the cliff. The night was very still, except for that errant breeze that was playing softly about in the tree tops. A hand emerged from the void below the cliff and felt about for a pur- chase. Its mate followed it, and soon a head and shoulders appeared. A wriggle, and a boy clad in flannels, his shirt open at the neck, stood up, a light blur against the black emptiness behind him. How do you dof' said Pandora, rather frigidly. It would not do to let this boy see how much she wanted to know him. Oh, how do you do, returned the boy, quite as casually as if he had expected to hnd someone waiting for him at the top of the cliff. HI hope I'm not intruding. E411 T H E M I L E S T O N E UO no, I was about to go. f'Ah,,' said the boy, a bit embarrassed. But perhaps I can help you through these abominable bushes? 'Tye been here before, thank you. Pandora tried to be as chilling as she could, but her loneliness would assert itself, and she looked rather forlorn as she stood there, in spite of her apparent coolness. Besides, her voice quavered a bit at the end. He looked like such a nice boy, and she wanted a friend so. She didn't have even a dog. She half hoped, half feared that he had heard the quaver in her voice and had interpreted it correctly. One side of her nature, the Warm, impulsive side, hoped that he might come forward and say, HI feel that you're lonely and need some one, rude as it is to say so. Won't you put aside conventions and be friends? The other side of her, the shy and reserved side, shrank from such a thing. That night her lonesomeness was worse than ever before, and she wished she had not been so rude to that boy. Very probably she Would never be able to make friends with him. The next night she was later than usual in reaching her retreat, and she did not expect to find her trespasser on his rock. She looked, however, after a little struggle with her pride. He was there. He looked unhappy. He sat drooped, his chin in his hand. Pandora thought that he looked rather little boyish, and she longed to comfort him and sympathize with him. Perhaps he was homesick, and if he were, Pandora could appre- ciate as no one else his feeling, she who had been exiled for so long. An impulse swept over her to climb down 'the cliff and apologize for her coolness of the night before. Pride rebelled, but friendliness would not obey the mandates of prideg and Pandora found herself scrambling down the cliff in a very undignified manner. The occupant of the rock had heard her and leaped ashore. Une last little jump and Pandora stood beside him. She turned toward him and said hurriedly, I felt that perhaps I had hurt you or offended you by my coldness last night and I want to apologize. I hope I'm not intruding. The boy looked at her eagerly, 'KI was afraid you had been offended, he replied almost joyously. Your voice sounded as if you were shocked. May I introduce myself? I am jerry Deraid, from Cape Colony. My parents have sent me here to go to school, and I am spending my holidays here with some relatives. There you have the whole thing. The relatives don't like me because I look like my mother, of whom they never approved. As a result I am left all alone, and I do not find my own company congenial for days at a time. I am just the person to sympathize with you. I'm in exactly the same case, all alone. Father's stationed in India, she added, by Way of explana- I42l T II IC M I I. li S 'I ' O N If tion. This is the first summer l've been here, she went on. I used to stay with another aunt, a young married one. She was awfully jolly and She was always doing things for mc, but only a month ago She chased off to Switzerland for the summer and I was dumped down here. Aunt Nlary means well too, I supposeg but apparently she expects me to sew, or knit,or read Jane Austen all dayf' But you haven't told me your name! It's Pandora. Pandora Viiells. But I must go. Is there any other way except up that awful cliff? Yes, but itfs quite half a mile down the beach. There are steps in the clifff' They walked down the beach in silence. PI here were steps in the rock and a rope to steady one, much to Pandora's joy, for she was not too good a climber. They climbed up and started back along a wood road some dis- tance from the cliff, Jerry showing the way. Ifinally he left the road and turned toward the cliff. Presently he said, f'Here,s the entrance to your tunnel, our tunnel, if you'll allow meg and I'll leave you here. I think I know where I can get a boat, if you can come after lunch tcmorrowf' Lovely, I'll be here, if I can escape, said Pandora, delighting in this breaking of conventions. lk Pls if ak Dk Dk Bk Pk -lf ak bk Pk Pk They say Cleopatra was a blonde, remarked Jerry, gazing in a very preoccupied manner at Pandora's straight, light hair. It is hardly complimentary to be compared to Cleopatra, is it? VVhy? She was a great beauty, wasnlt she? I was only comparing you in that way, you know. It was one of those hot, sticky days with scarcely any wind, a day when it was a sin to do anything but lie on one's back and trail one's fingers in the water. Jerry and Pandora were drifting lazily in a little skiff. Pandora sat in the stern surrounded by cushions, idly gazing over the water. Jerry leaned back in the bow, looking through half shut eyes at Pandora and thinking how soon this joy would be over. Their intimacy had progressed amazingly in those last few days. For some time neither broke the silence. Jerry cared only to sit and look at Pandora, and apparently the effort of conversation was too much for Pandora after her venture on the subject of Cleopatra. They had talked a great deal before that, however. Jerry had told Pandora of South Africa, and Pandora talked of the little she remembered of India. They talked of books and art and marriage. Pandora said that she believed firmly in marriage, but that a wife should never interfere or have anything to do E431 T H E M I L E S T O N E with her husband's business. f'Por, said Pandora, Uthough a woman may inspire a man to do his finest work, she often proves a great obstacle to his doing it. Jerry told her that his ambition was to write. I never seem to pass any exams, said he, but I can get my stuff into the school magazine. Finally Jerry spoke, UI am going away tomorrow, Pandora, he said. 'f0h, nol Wihy? Are your holidays over so soon?H I'm afraid so. Tomorrow. VVhy didn't you tell me before? I didnlt think you would care much. f'But I do care, you know I do. lXfIust I tell you that? Youlve been so good to me. But for you I do-not know what I should have done. I don't know what I shall do H- after tomorrow. It's you who have helped me. But I shall be back, next holidays, if I can stick it out in school. These days have been perfect, too perfect to be real. 'A book of verse, a jug of wine, and thou, surely wilderness were paradise enow.' But by next holidays I shall be in India, I think. Father has been writing that he is coming for me in a few weeks. Uh Lordf' Jerry groaned. But we shall see each other again sometime. Vile mustfl It was getting lateg the sun was sinking. Jerry paddled in a dazed manner toward shore. The stern grated on the beach and Pandora jumped out. Come on, Jerry, she said. But don't be so mournful. We shall, as you say, see each other again, I know we shall. Jerry stepped out and tied up the little boat. Then he and Pandora walked slowly down the beach. At the entrance to the tunnel they stood silent a moment, then Jerry said, his voice shaking in spite of him, Goodbye, Pandoraf, Pandora said nothing, for she hardly trusted herself to speak. Instead she drew Jerry's head down and kissed him. Then she ran away. Jerry stood there for a few seconds, then he turned and walked very slowly away. Sluggishly as he walked, however, he twice walked into trees, and once he caught his foot and fell headlong. I-Ie did not seem to notice these things, but merely brushed himself off, and walked absently on. He climbed down the cliff and sat on his rock, his chin in his hands, looking toward India. He was very depressed and unhappy, but a strange exaltation caught him .... FIC Dk Dk wk if ik :li PK Dk Pk Pk Pk Pk A very dusty and very tired traveller climbed stiffly out of a train. I-Ie had been in that train a long time, and it was very hot. Also the ice had I44l T H F Xl I l. lf S 'I' U N li given out several days before. A luke warm whiskey and soda is not comfort to the soul, nor is it good for the digestion. 'l'lie traveller was evidently in a very poor humor. So much so that he almost lost his temper at the poor little fellow who carried his baggage to the cart. hlany of the world's tragedies have been caused by indigestion. VVhat a hell-hole to live in, growled the dusty one. The place was certainly hot enough to answer the description. l suppose l'll have to camp till l can get a bungalowfl I have made inquiry, sahib, said his servant, and there is an Anglo- lndian Club here at which you can stay. VVliich probably means an overgrown bungalow with a few condemned souls like myself sitting about sipping brandy pegs. His surmise was correct as far as the building went, for it was an over- grown bungalow with a large verandah. Instead of a few men about he walked right into an excited conclave. Hello, one said and added, Youlre just in time. There's a costume ball tonight, the only amusement we shall have for weeksf' A costume ball tonight? You mean to tell me that there are women in this place? Viihy, I didn't think anything more delicate than a horse could live here. Oh, it's not so bad when you get used to it. Besides, there's a regiment quartered nearby, and itls they who are giving the ball. VVell, I certainly have put my foot in it. How d'you expect me to find a costume in time? Oh, that's all right. Wihen we heard you were coming we said, 'Now, maybe hefll Want to go to the hop,' so we hxed you up a costumef' VVhat is it? An Austrian cavalry uniform.

Yould be surprised. I certainly should. VVhewl l'm a wreck. Ice gave out on the train. Nearly parehed to death. VVhere does one bathe? After a bath, a shave, and a change of raiment the traveller felt a great deal better, as he remarked to the man who had been so hospitable. Your name? asked the latter. Deraid, Jerry Deraidf' Well, this is 'Rabbit' VVilliams, 'Horse' Henderson,- he went around the company. lXiIy own's Halliganf' A little later the two were talking on the verandah about the hop. Let me give you a bit of advice. Donlt fall for the Colonel's daughter. E451 T H E M I L E S T O N E She'll be the best looking girl there, and you probably will. If you do - tough luck. She'll walk with you, talk with you, sit with you, but beyond that - She'll die an old maid for all her looks. Jerry laughed. Uh, some one'll come along,', he said. You needn't feel worried about me, though. I'm no ladies' man. jerry walked into the ball room feeling a bit uncomfortable in his Aus- trian uniform, for it was rather tight across the shoulders. I'll introduce you to her right OH and let nature take its course. The sooner you get it, the sooner you'll be over it, said Halligan piloting Jerry toward a girl who, though tanned considerably from riding in the sun, was very pretty. Jerry started. Just a coincidence, I suppose. By love, she does look like her though,', he muttered. 'fVVhat,s that?', i Oh, nothing. She is good looking, isn't she? he said in his friend's ear .... lVIr.

Pk Pk Pk Pk DI4 Pk Pls Pls Pk Pk Pk Dk Pk KL th VVhen Halligan stepped out some time later for a smoke he saw two heads silhouetted verycarelessly against the moon. He said something that was not quite audible, then, And he said he was no ladies, man! CAT ! Ii ancient Romans knew our game, at least, we knew enough to put the cat out at night. As I, bust of Julius Caesar, surveyed Sargent Hall, I recalled the events that occurred exactly two months ago. Sargent Hall was plunged in Stygian blackness except for one island of moonlight on the broad desk before me. I was wondering why there was but one spot of it only when I noticed that all the curtains were down. I was just going to hail my companion, Cicero, when I heard the door creak down at the other end of the hall. Now there are all kinds of noises in this building by night. In fact, enough to make an ordinary mortal's hair stand on end, but I am so used to them that I take no notice unless there is a new one. That creak stood out from the medley of sounds as something different. It was queer that Cicero did not hear it,for usually he is awake to such things. He was probably asleep dreaming about some oration that would denounce Cataline I46l T H E M I I, IC S 'I' O N If to the end of his days. That's the only thing I ever had against Cicero. He was one of those orators who did nothing but talk, and he always picked on either Catalinc or Carthage. You all know what an orator is, no doubt. He is a fellow who is always willing to give your life for his country. Directly following this singular creak there was a soft pad, pad of feet coming down the center aisle. Asudden gust ofwind se tthe whole building shrieking its protests in the form of loud crcaks and groansg and when silence reigned once more, the stealthy footsteps had ceased. A mouse scampered across the fioor below me, and the cold shivers stopped chasing each other up and down what is left of my spine. Suddenly there was a thud, an agonized squeak, and a sound of scufiiing under the desk. Silenceg and then once more the pad, pad of someone or something walking on cushioned feet. It went around in front of the desk and stopped in front of Cicero while I nearly fell OH: my shelf to see what it was. The suspense was beginning to grow unbearable when the walking continued, making an excursion of the room on the tops of the desks. Finally the walking jumped onto the broad desk before me and stopped. The cold shivers on my spine accelerated, and the hairs on the back of my neck were beginning to rise when there walked into the moonlight, bearing a dead mouse in its mouth, E1 cat. It was a middle-sized cat looking well fed, although not fat, with splashes of grayish brown here and there on its white body. It dropped the mouse, sat down on its haunches, and stared up at me, switching its tail back and forth in a manner most insulting to my dignity. Cat, said I, cease the movements of thy tail. Cat did nothing of the sort, but regarded me with an insolent stare, as if to say, Ifyou'11 talk United States, I may listen to you. This was most impolite, and I took it as a gross insult. Cat, I repeated, giving it an icy look, get out of heref' Aw, was the submitted reply via the seornful stare, go take a run for yourself. I was forced to swallow that without replying, and when the feline picked up the mouse and leaped on to my very pedestal, I was exceedingly angry. My Worst enemy, Cato, never resorted to open affront. Shoving me for- ward to the very edge of the shelf it proceeded to sharpen its claws in my back, much to my discomfort, and failing in this tried with equal results to do the same thing in the wall. Then standing on its hind legs it deposited the mouse on my head, and returned to the desk, Where it reviewed its work. When it finally bestowed on me the tribute of a maow and left the room, I considered it a good riddance. In the morning as usual the younger generation arrived earliest. Two of I47l T H E M I L E S T O N E them came and sat drummiug their legs on the desk in front of me. 'fWhat's your opinion of the temporary head-master? asked one, the smaller of the two.. Ole crab, grumbled the other, He tacks enough new rules onto the regular ones to stock a warehouse. 'fYou said it,l' agreed his companion, I'll bet if--. His sentence was never hnished, for at that minute he looked up at me and burst into laughter. Oh, look what happened to old Ivory Head. That's what they called me, Ivory Head. In a minute everyone was laughing at me, and the room was in an uproar xi hen in came the temporary head,-master. He was a fairly young man with a dark complexion and curly nut brown hair. CI'll take the liberty to call him Curly since I never knew his namej He also had brown eyes, a smiling mouth, and a long nose. He was dressed in well-fitting, but not fiashy clothes. At the end of chapel he got up and wanted to know who had alfronted my dignity. No one answered, and the room was as quiet as the Temple of Janus Cif it is still standingj in times of peace. 'fVery wellf' concluded Curlyf' since no one will confess, I will say no more about itg but I do not want it to happen again. Hm, he mused when removing the mouse later, 'fIt must have been caught by a cat, for it's all clawed up. 'fYes, lXIr. Detectivefl I saidto myself, it was caught by a cat all right, and ifI ever lay hands on the ,Cat that did it, there is going to bea cremation around this place. I was so wrought up over the affair that I forgot that I had no hands to lay, and when I did remember a while later, it only served to make me madder. For me, Julius Caesar, to be made fun of by a cat and do nothing about it! Impossible! That night I told Cicero the whole matter only to discover that he had been awake all night and knew everything there was to know about it. Then he started an oration against Cataline, Carthage, and cats, and I prepared for a long and tedious bombardment. About in the middle of it he let it slip out that he had been scared stiH and hoped that he had seen the last of that ferocious cat. I got a good laugh out of that, for back in Rome he was always boasting about what he would do if he got the chance. When two weeks had passed, the cat on a similar night again dropped a calling card in the form of two mice. This time it pressed them right down on my head so that the blood ran all over my face. Tonight, however, Cicero did justice to some of his boasting in the way of talking. A veritable Niagara of abuse against the gens felis in general, burst forth from him. E481 T H E M I L F S 'I' O N li Cat, however, paid him no more attention than a column in a temple, but completed its mischief and left as before. The next morning Curly talked for five minutes about my decorations and ordered the whole school to come back that afternoon until he found out who had done it. They were there all afternoon with Curly sitting at the desk as stern as a judge. At the end of the session he announced that they would be up there every afternoon until the matter was cleared up. They were, and the school was charged with suspicion for three days. Then I cleared up the whole matter. Cat made another nightly excur- sion and this time carried its pranks too far. Having caught five mice, it jumped upon my shoulders with suflicient impetus so as to destroy my balance and its own. Cat slipped from my shoulders and passed the ped- estal just as gravity laid its hold upon me. Therefore, I fell squarely upon it, knocking it over with my neck across its stomach. Well, cat, said I, I have thee. Youlre not leaving here until morn- ing. The only person to mar my perfect enjoyment of the situation was Cicero. He laughed so hard that I thought he would fall off the shelf and told him so. HI would'nt talk, he said, Lucky were not brokenf' CI guess I was at that.D Curly found me there in the morning with the plaster half clawed out of my neck, and cat greedily trying to get more. If given the chance, it might have got free by night. That is how the thing was cleared up, and I think cat got off pretty easily. Curly picked me up and carried me down to the shop leaving cat to do what it could. Cicero told me after- wards that about everything movable except himself was thrown at it. I would like to have been there to laugh at it. That all goes to show what a cat can do if it has the brains. Take my advice and keep your cat locked up at night, or you may get into trouble. .f, , -.kg Ji' - 'rf :,., 'Lv f,w z. n., ' ..,l-QEW' V- .:.' -fix ff' ' .J 'f,H.. '? ' 'brzieft . Ag.

H., rgg Forsberg, rtg Schultz, lg, Whalen, ltg Ruizleg Kenney, L. W., qb. FOOTBALL HIS year's team was the third memorable one in recent years. Cap- tain Forsherg led his team successfully through a long dusty season, and the team won six games out of an exceedingly tough schedule of eight. Out of last year's successful team Forsberg, Hinds, Whalen, VV. lcl. Kenney, and Capron were left. Forsberg was moved from center to T511 T H E hal I l, li S 'I' O N E tackle, and Bill Arnold played center the whole season. This boy was heavy and passed well, making a valuable addition to the line. Norman Schultz, who played on the second team last year, took a regular place at guard, and Bill Kenney a veteran, and Bridges alternated at the other guard pcsition. Wlhalen retained his former position at left tackle and proved invaluable on tackle around plays and end runs, for he always gained eight or ten yards at a dash. Every once in a while, he got off for from thirty to eighty yards, sometimes dashing half the length of the field. The ends were both new men. Emerson, the right end, was a bit lightg but he showed lots of fight and was a good tackler. Ruiz started the season in complete ignorance of football, but he soon picked up the game and gained a first team berth at left end. He was fast and fairly heavy, he could catch passes, and he was a sure tackler. Great credit should be given him for his quick learning. He worked hard all season. In the backfield, Hinds still struck terror into the hearts of the enemy from his position at half back. Both fast and heavy he was a sure gainer, and the mainstay of the backfield. Larry Kenney at quarterback, made up for his lack of size by an abundance of speed and fight. He was a shifty runner and a good defense man. The other halfback, White, although rather light, was fast and a hard sure tackler. Capron started at fullback, but along in the middle of the season, he began to slow up, and Horr finished the season in his place. UAV' was a steady and dependable player and a good man in the backfield. Phillips surprised everyone by coming through in the line. Wie had always thought of him as a roly-poly kid, but this year he was discovered to be hard as a rock and has hard to move as a church. Derby developed into a good lineman, too, before the season was over, and he got in there in plenty of time to win his letter. Now we, come to Captain Forsberg, whom we have scarcely mentioned before. Swede did all the kicking for his team besides playing tackle, backing up the line, and occasionally running with the ball. Those who have seen him play will remember those smashing diving tackles, that straight arm, his drop kicking and punting. Things that counted just as much, however, were his hard steady line game and the lighting spirit with which he inspired the team. To Mr. Temple a great deal of the credit is due. He developed many green players into regulars and devised plays that had our opponents guess- ing all the time. He taught the team those plays, too, so that everyone knew his job. His record is remarkable in that no serious injuries marred the season, and this is especially remarkable as this season was so long and hot, and the schedule was so tough. He who plays hardest is seldom hurt was his motto. l 55 1 R w vi u U mzzmuaczmuz-zqpzw WJ? eA 1 2555 I o 13 xr , 1 , C U Z ' Jfffmvf - O 9' P 5 a 459365 li? 1 2 5 ' 9 ',-0:0105 3, 'jg 3 -wk-Mzizzcrgx-. o Q 9 Y ew! wings!! f' 1 0 5. ?3-'igfgfrfi' 9 ,, G.

Four veterans returned, and a great deal of new material turned out. Klr. Reagan developed several of these men into good players, many of whom will return next year. This was Hinds' second year as captain and undoubtedly the more successful. Out of twelve games, the E571 T H E M I L E S T O N E team came through in eight. They scored a total of 373 points against a total of 288 for the opponents. Hinds was at his old position, right forward, and he played a better game this year than ever before. He was right in there all the time follow- ing the ball around. He usually got it too. Ruiz surprised everyone. He played basket-ball for the first time last year. This year he was the best guard Dummer has seen in a long while. He later moved to forward. Some of his shots were sensations, and he finished second highest point scorer with a total of 83 points. VVhalen played center this year. He was probably the best shot on the team, being high scorer with a total of 139 points. Time after time he would break loose, dribble a little, then boost in a short shot. He was also rather accurate at long range. Lawny undoubtedly contributed a great deal to make the team the scoring machine it was. Watkins has a good basketball build. Though small he is quick and fast and a good passer. He contributed a good many baskets to the total. Fitzsimmons was another surprise. Fitz is only a freshman, but he is a natural basket ball player,a good passer, and an accurate shot. Bill .Arnold played a good steady defense game this year, every once in a while coming up the fioor to pop in a basket. He worked hard, and to him and Forsberg and Ruiz can be ascribed the low scores of our opponents in a good many games. Swede Forsberg carried his faculty for working hard and doing his best into basket ball. Though he seldom tried for the basket, his defense contributed considerably. Al Horr was a man of all work on the team. He played any position in which he was needed, and he played them all well. Al is a good shot, a good defense man, and a fair center though not quite tall enough. C. F. hlorse played his first season this year, but he worked hard and during the latter half of the season made a good guard. This was the best team Dummer has had for some time, and the efforts of Coach Reagan were a great factor in making it such. Next year there ought to be a banner team, for Hinds, Ruiz, Forsberg, Arnold, and Fitz- simmons do not graduate. 3 ' ' - --. -.. . 1 nt l if , l5?4l T H E M I l, li S 'I' O N li iz' lf . .lea T M If TRQXCK Lawrence XVhalen .. ,. . . . . .Captain XIII XY.

Wg Hinds. TRACK HE Traek Team of Dummer Came through the season of 1925 with a record unseathed. Two of the last year's letter men, Captain Wlhalen and Hinds, reported to the first tryouts witha great deal of untried and green material. The neweoniers were promising, and with the men of last year, Coach VV. B. Skerrye, hoped to build up a sueeessful T591 T H E M I L E S T O N E track team. hflanyof the men who failed to get their much conveted letters last year came forth at the opening of the season seething with the ambition of making a track letter this year. Early in the month of December, 1924, intermural track meets were held in which each man who aspired to make the team had a chance to demonstrate his abilities. These meets brought out surprising results and gave promise of a gocd team. Captain Whalen, Hinds, Ruiz, and Forsberg of last year's squad showed up exceptionally well as did White and McGinley of the newcomers of the sclool. The winners of the events in this meet were awarded medals before the Christmas vacation. The 1000-yd. run was won by White, the 600 by White, the 300 by Whalen and the 20-yd. dash by hfIcGinley. The shot put and the high jump which were held in the gym, were v on by McGinley and Terhune respectively. A good relay combination was seen in Hinds, Cox, Ruiz, Whalen, and L. Kenney. The first meet of the season was held with Ipswich High School here. This was practically a tryout for the track squad. The Ipswich team was recently organized and wanted to try their metle against a strong team. VVhite, Ruiz, L. Kenney, and Hinds showed up exceptionally well. The meet was overwhelmingly won by Dummer. The first and only time Coach Skerrye led his proteges against active competition was when the team met lXIalden High School's Track team at Dummer. The twenty yard dash was entirely a Dummer event. Whalen and Hinds were away quick in the 300-yd. dash and captured lft and 2nd places respectively. lXIalden placed third. The 600-yd. dash was who by lVIalden which took the first two places. White of Dummer was crowded on a corner, put out of his stride, but managed to take 3d place. The 1000- yd. run was won by Malden. White again took 3d place. The running high jump became a battle between Ruiz of Dummer and Melanson and Benjamin of lVIalden all three tied at 5 ft. 3M inches. The points for this event were split. The shot put was won by Hinds, 38 feet 8M inches, Forsberg 2nd, and hflelanson of INiIalden 3d. Hinds' put broke the existing school record of Judd fi1923j of 37 feet 6 inches. The relay was won by a good margin by Ruiz, Hinds, Whalen, and Cox. ah. Y cm: .flgkvpl M.

So far only two games have been played and we have lost both of them, but they were early season games, and both our adversaries had unusually good teams. Groton beat us ten to Five, but the game showed us some encouraging facts about our team. hIcGinley slammed E611 T H E M I L E S T O N E out two home runs, but he failed to touch second on one of them and was forced to go back. For pitchers, we have hf'lcGinley, Vifhite, and Fitzsimmons. McGinley' has pitched very well, allowing but few hits and keeping them scattered. White strained his arm during the first of the season, but from what we saw of him at first we expect great things of him. McGinley is a pitcher who can hit. He has accounted for a homer, a triple, and a double so far, an enviable record. Fitzsimmons is inexperienced, but he is working hard and ought to do some pitching before the end of the season. Hinds was shifted from second to the receiving position after the Groton game, and he played a fine game there against DeWitt. He has a fast, accurate peg, and he knows how to get the most out of a pitcher. lfmerson is a kit green at second, but with practice he ought to be a good second baseman. He is a good hitter. Hart is a gccd shortstop, and he hits very dependably. He scoops up grounders like a leaguer and he has a good fast peg. Phil Derby and Larry Kenney are having a close race for third, with Derb slightly in the lead. Derb has the better peg and Larry is inclined to be a bit tco nervcus. ln the outfield we have Sleeper, Sawyer, lVIcGinley, when he is not pitching, E. lNlorse, and Forsberg. With practice, three of these boys should develop into good outfielders. At present McGinley is the only really good fielder among them. Forsberg hasn't played in the outfield for two years, but practice should br'ng him back to his former stride. Sleeper made good last year, but he is a bit weak on hitting. E. Morse is a good bunter and a steady fielder, and he will probably hold down his position easily. The season looks good for captain Hinds and his team, and Mr. Reagan has a right to feel optimistic.

HOCKEY HIC hockey season this year, zllthouggh not outwzlrdly Z1 success served IIS purpose 111 Z1 thoroughly szxtisfaetory manner. Coach Temple, who knows modern hockey from A to Z, saw at once the inadequacy of last year's team to fill out the seusong and so taking 21 squad of new men from the lower classes he moulded the lOL1I1Cl2lt1OI1S for a stellar E631 T H E M I L E S T O N E team for next year. incidentally, he turned out a better team than last year's. Although no games were won, the scores were all closehfour of them being one to nothing, and the other, three to one. In Captain Fors- berg, Dummer had a tireless worker and a brainy player. Captain-elect, Emerson, showed the rooters some real hockey and fast clever skating, and was the only player to succeed in getting the puck past the opposing goalie. In Derby and Hart, Dummer should have two players of the best class for next year, but for the two defense men, Schultz and Kenney, Dummer would doubtless have suffered worse defeats. Terhune was a great surprise in the goal. He was a candidate for the forward line, but by chance, he tried the goal and did agreat job. Seven letter men return next year. GOLF PROSPECTS ROSPECTS for a winning golf team are very good this year. Dum- mer has only supported a team for one year, and it was mediocre. Two men from the team returned, Bill Kenney and Johnny English. In Bill Arnold, Dummer has a future star. He has been navigating the par 38 Ould Newbury course in the middle forties and has beaten all comers. Kenney, who vi on all his matches last year and played superlative golf, is shooting a little above fifty and should be back to his old form before the first match. linglish has been scoring in the high forties and should im- prove with practice. At a meeting of those really interested in making the team, fifteen reported to aspire to the open position. Coach P. B. Skerrye is taking charge of these, and others are practicing under Mr. Temple with hopes for next year. An extensive and hard schedule is planned, the first match being on the 25th of April with Phillips-Exeter at Exeter. Other teams already scheduled are St. Johns, lyfanchester, and Boston Latin.

The experiment this year though not attempted until quite late in the term, has been highly successful. Dr. Ingham and the faculty asked the Student Council to assist in enforcing the smoking regulations of the school. This they did fearlessly by at once demanding and securing a two-week suspen- sion from school of three of the oldest boys in school. This action on the part of the Student Council won the immediate respect of the student body. The Council holds its meetings each Sundaynight. Cl heyare sane, sensible, dignified meetings and touch closely the life of the school. The members of the Student Council are chosen by the faculty from a list of candidates furnished by each class. Two members were selected from the Senior Class, two from the Junior Class, one from each of the other classes including the Junior School. The Council then from these elects its own president, which honor is re.ognized as being the highest the school has to offer. I The Student Count il this year consists of the following boys: CLIFFORD RAY, Senior, Prfszdfvzt LAWRECE VVHALEN, Senior. N1Ls FORSBERG, Junior. GERALD MAY, junior. FRANK IXIICKINNEY, Sophomore. QIIIARLES AYRES, Freshman. lXlANN Cox, junior School. LIBRARY STAFF HE Academy library, though a small one, is a well-selected and rather ample one .for so small a school. The management of it is quite effective, and an unusually large amount of excellent reading is done by the students of the Fnglish classes. Mr. Faust is in charge of the library, and he has a staff of assistants, who aid in letting out the books and receiving them back. The library is open each lVIonday, Wednesday, and Friday evening of the year. Mr. Faust is assisted this year by William H. Kenney, 2nd, Gerald May, Leonard Lawson, and John English. l90j T H E M I L li S 'I' O N If 'l'Hl'1 ARCHC JN HE Archon is the Academy paper, published periodically throughout the year, approximately once a month. lt contains all current news of the Academy and is the chief means hy which the Alumni are kept informed concerning the activities of the campus. The publication of the 'fArchon is sponsored by lXflr. Farrell of the faculty who is assisted by Paul Caron, Roberto Andreani, John English, lfranli Mlcliinney, lfdward Hart, and Gerald Nlay. , , , .-ami , ,--f-X ' ' 1 , .1 ,,..iaJ'4w - , ,,,,aU' E911 T I-I E M I L E S T O N E E921 Drawn by R.Ar1dr cani MMISR lSl'll.I,l STUNT NIGHTS AT MOODY !lOL'Sli .XXD SOPIIONIURIQ NIINS'l'R1'QI T H E M I I, E S T O N E THE CHRISTMAS TREE HIS year as is the custom that old ceremony, the Christmas Tree, was held. lVIr. P. B. Skerrye, E. R. Jackson, and R. Hall worked for days buying gifts and choosing those which would point out the recipient's faults none too gently. That is, the committee worked when it was not in the movies or elsewhere in the pursuit of pleasure. As usual, the gifts were appropriate and the points well taken. Three of the old boys were there: Gilly Smith, ,215 Tray Ingham, '24, Bob -Foster, ex '25, and Red Page, ex '25. All these veterans were given something to bear away and remember. The occasion was very successful and productive of much good natured laughter and attempted XVIT. The annual School Elections this year conducted at morning exercises resulted as follows: Done lXfIost for Dummer lylost Popular Fellow . Best Athlete . . . Best Natured Fellow .

Skerrye Mr. Faust THE SOPHOMORE MINSTREL N March 14, the first play of the season was given by the Sopho- more Class in the form of a minstrel show. The affair took quite a bit of time and coaching from VVhalen and Mr. Faust, and came off in professional style. The costumes and setting were unusually good. Two unique features were a hoola-hoola dance by Budgell, and a Xylophone solo by Emerson. The line was composed of McKinney, interlocutorg jackson and Davis, end-men, and lWatthes, Emerson, Terhune, Fearnside, Sloane, and Haley. I 96 I 4 w T H F M I I, F S F O N In PIANO Rl'ICl'l'AI, N Saturday evening April 25, the school was entertained in the Lang Gymnasium by lWr. Wlalter Arno, organist at Second Science Church in Boston, and talented composer and concert pianist. Owing to the wretched Weather conditions hardly any outsiders were present although many had been asked. lLach one of his selections was greatly appreciated by the small audience, especially one called Crystal Klorningll Written by himself which symbolized the frozen trees and branches caused by the big ice storm of 1921. His program was as follows-: Prelude . . ........ Schull Hungarian Etude ,W6D0f0f'ff Tarentelle . If7hZ'Z7Z6j' Juba Dance .

The speakers of the evening were: Dr. Ingham, headmasterg Mr. Farrell, faculty manager and junior coach, Mr. Temple, senior coachg Forsberg, captain of the varsity, May, captain of the second team, and lXfIcKinney, captain of the junior team. Dr. Ingham acted as toastmaster and took the opportunity to praise the work of this year's team, it ranking among the best of Dummer's teams. He also termed Captain Forsberg as the hardest working and most con- scientious captain that had come under his observation while principal of the Academy for the last seventeen years. He also complimented Coach Temple on his success. Letters of regret were read from many of the alumni and parents of the boys, who were unable to be present. The second speaker, Mr. Farrell, said in part: HI want to refer to the football teams as a good advertisement for Dummer. Football as played at the Academy, where the boys enter into the sport for sports' sake and use it for the physical enjoyment they get out of it, is the right kind of pub- licity. There can be no commercial aspect to football as played at the school for there is no gate and therefore no financial return. He awarded the junior letters to the following: Capt. McKinney, Bell, Wlhitehead, Budgell, Chandler, E. Cox, M. Cox, Haley, Fearnside, Fitzsimmons, Gove, Ray, Russell, C. Schultz, Steinharter, and Watt. lNfIr. Temple in presenting the letters to the varsity spoke on the good work of the team laying stress upon some special part played by each in- dividual in the season's good work. He expressed confidence in the out- look for next year's team. He presented the varsityletters to the following: Capt. Forsberg, Arnold, Bridges, Capron, Derby, Emerson, Hinds, Horr, L. Kenney, VV. Kenney, Phillips, Ruiz, N. Schultz, VVhalen, White, E. Jackson. Second team letters were awarded to the following: Capt. May, B. Allen, Ayres,f Hart, Lovett, F. Morse, Sawyer, Terhune, Watkins, and Lawson. Capt. lX4cKinney speaking for the Juniors showed that his team was a necessary cog in the development of the Varsity, and that many of the First team got their first experience with the Juniors. He finished by pre- senting lXflr. Farrell with a gold penknife and chain, by which he might remember the 1924 Juniors. Capt. May of the Second Team lauded Capt. Forsberg and expressed the hope that every second feels that this year's Second Team might I 100 :I T H E lNf I L IC S T O N IC be promoted en masse next year and earn the D to which every embryo football player looks forward. Capt. Forsberg, in behalf of the team, thanked the coach and all who had a part in the development oi the team, and the team for the support they had given him through the season. lie thanked the Second 'leam especially, for they receive all the knocks and lnusies of the season and get little in return. ln token of his hnc leadership the captain was pre- sented with a gold knife and chain. The meeting broke up with a cheer for ixiiss lion n, the household man- ager, who had prepared the feast. FOOTBALL DANCE HELD IN GYMNASIUM HE Annual Football Dance was held in the Lang Gymnasium on the evening of November 22nd. The dance committee, Doc Hinds and 'fLawny VVhalen, deserve great credit for the way in which they put this event over. The Gym was very simply but tastefully decorated with banners and pennants. At regular intervals around the walls were placed banners, bearing the scores of the season's games. The lights were softened with varied-colored paper. Our old friend the tackling dummy, dressed in a football uniform, stood just inside the door to greet us, but what a different greeting from what he accorded us all Fall! There was an elimination dance with a box of candy for the lucky male and a bouquet for the fortunate female. The couples were eliminated three at a time until there remained one. lXi1cGinley and his partner, lyfiss Plumer, were the winners. A silver cup was offered for the best dancer among the boys. The judges, Mrs. Allen and lyfrs. Terhune, awarded the aforesaid cup to Bill Arnold. The LeRoy Curtiss Orchestra furnished the 'fjazzw for the evening. Perkins Hall was given over to the girls from out of town. The Archon BACK TO DUTNTTIMER DAY OBSERVED CFrom f'The Archonuj ACK to Dummer Day brought together many of the Sons of Dummer in a pleasant reunion at the Old School at the Byfield Cross-Roads. This first annual Fall reunion of Dummer's Sons was held at the school October 25th, as a preliminary to the greater get- together in Boston during the winter. Lioij T H E IXI I L E S T O N E There was a short informal meeting of the Sons of Dummer at 5:30, Guild Holt, the president of the society, whose genius and hard work is accomplishing much in knitting the alumni into a more solid organization, presided. Plans were out-lined, at this meeting, for renovating a small building near the lXfIoody House, for a club house for the use of ex-students when they return to the school. The banquet prepared by Miss Brown, the school's housekeeper, was voted a success from beginning to end. The after-dinner speakers were: Judge Alden P. White, of Salem, president of the trustees, the toastmaster, Dr. Charles S. Ingham, head- master, John VV. Perkins, Georgetown, former headnnasterg Everit B. Terhune, Boston, manager of the Boot and Shoe Recofderj Walter Farrell, assistant master and faculty manager of Athletics, George Temple, physical instructor and football coach, and Guild Holt, president of the Sons of Dummer. President Halt emphasized the fact that even since 1919 and 1920, when he was student, there had been almost radical changes at the school, equipment had been vastly increased and manifold advancements made. The campaign to get names and correct addresses of the former students, the aim being to secure a strong alumni body was delineated. At the pre- sent time something like 325 have been secured and more are being sought. Probably in the world there are approximately 1500 living men who went to school there, a goodly proportion of influence and financial power but the whereabouts of the majority is unknown. This has been the worst feature of the past, the losing of touch with ex-students and the present officers of the Sons of Dummer are trying to remedy the defect and can with the proper co-operation and co-ordination. Dr. Ingham read a list of the alumni of recent years now attending college and also named the seniors and their prospective higher institutions of learning. He spoke very briefly declaring that the more one put into a movement the more was secured from it. The principal considered that if the Sons of Dummer reached the alumni and were able to obtain their hearty support it would mean great things for the school. The welding of a steadfast body, which would help shoulder the burdens and tasks, he counted essential. He hoped every undergraduate would join the society when eligible. In bringing to mind the former students, there was speclai laudation for Gilbert Smith, the youngest graduate the school has had in recent years, who is attending St. Stephen's college and is a candidate for a Rhodes scholarship. Dr. john VV. Perkins, termed one of the most beloved headmasters, Dumnier ever had, related experiences of the old days. The venerable L1023 T H E M I I, IC S T 0 N E teacher, and Mfrs. Perkins were special guests and were tendered a hearty greeting. They raised the money that made the erection of the old gym- nasium,now being renovated into Perkins hall,the latest dormitory, possible more than thirty years ago. Honest farmers constructed that building, and when they hewed the lumber and nailed the boards, they put some of their ruggedness into the structure, states the ex-principal. Ile told of the sports that prevailed in his day at Dummer even under tremendous disadvantages. Portsmouth, N. H., Bradford high, and some of the Boston schools and academies nearby used to be contested in football. Roller skating was also a popular pastime and the Dummer teams used to use a rink in Rowley. There were excellent teams at school two score years ago even if the equip- ment was oft-times meagre and the playing surfaces strewn with rocks. The Uwill to win was there. The meeting accomplished what was intended-closer touch between the students and teachers at school on one sid eand the alumni and friends on the other. The Sons of Dummer will continue to peg away for the honor and glory of the school until triumphal goals are reached, yard by yard. THE JUNIOR PROMENADE HE Junior Promenade will be held at the Ould Newbury Golf Club on Saturday evening, INIay ninth. The club house will be decorated simply yet, it is hoped, artistically in the class colors, blue and grey, and with flowers and greens. The Tunesters under the leadership of Dave Grant will furnish the music and it is hoped that this selection of music will be acceptable. The refreshments will be served by Edwards, the caterer. The favors will be presented after intermission. The patron and patroness of this dance will be the class sponsor, Dr. Ingham and lWrs. Ingham. The committee in charge of this promenade are: Arnold, chairman: Hinds, L. W. Kenney, Phillips, McHutchison and W. H. Kenney. v4 J Lg x x u r ff I' ' QXYI ?iT Z9.:Q'cQ Y! 9 vi I I: 103 il T H E M I L E S T O N E THE SOPHOMORE DANCE HE Sophomore Dance was given by the class of '27, on April 18 in the Lang Gymnasium. The gymnasium was elaborately deco- rated by streamers of blue and gold, the class colors. The ceiling of the dance floor was made by the latticing of these streamers, and from this lattice work steamers alternating in these colors inclined down until they reached the walls. Around the edge of this lattice work were many multi-colored balloons making the gymnasium have a glorified appearance. Two cosy corners were made in the two corners nearest the large windows and were frequently visited. A comfortable couch and a table with a lamp furnished each. An orchestra booth was also made by the streamers and surrounded with masses of ferns, palms, and Easter lilies, and the gymna- sium,s appearance was one of exquisite beauty. The grand march began at 8:30 and was led by Nir. George Haley and lVliss Beulah Stickney. Masters Walter Whitehead and Gerry Watt in attractive page costumes gave out the dance orders and also sterling silver bangle bracelets to all the ladies present. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, olives, ice cream, and punch were served during the intermission by colored waiters from Newburyport. During one of the extras, the balloons suspended from the ceiling were let down among the dancers, producing a beautiful effect. The music was furnished by the LeRoy Colored Grchestra of Boston. The committee from the class in charge of the dance was composed of George Haley, chairman, Frank lVIcKinney, Richard Emerson, John English, Elvin Cox, and Phillips Terhune. The patrons and patronesses were: Dr. and Mrs. Ingham, Mr. and Mrs. Faust, Mr. and Mrs. Farrell, Mr. and Mrs. Budgell, Mrs. McKinney, Mrs. Terhune, Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Hamilton, lVlrs. Emerson, Miss Robinson, and Miss Brown. -Budgell, '27. ,WAN 3,79 sw ' .gggvtl ,354 'if a I 104 J x T H E M I I, I' S I' O N L V Q 5 Ji' I E .XXCIC I7 SOPHOKIORF I I-4 3 U!

Let's Go is a poor slogan if you don't know just where you're going. One thing is certain. Some day you are going into business and be on-your-own. When you get there it will be a big satisfaction to know there is a business paper awaiting you, ready to help you in your chosen profession. It will contain all the dope -just as your school paper checks up on the school news and your favorite newspaper keeps you in touch with the doings of the day. The Boot and Shoe Recorder is such a paper. Thous- ands of readers in the shoe industry regard it as the authority in their business. On behalf of all good business papers we urge you to become a steady reader-possibly an advertiser-in the paper dealing with the profession you will some day call your job.
