1932 FREDERIC PHILIP HUBERT Philomathezm Cambridge, Mass. . . . Freddie chose to run . . . VVisdom! Yes sir-that's what is written all over the beaming features of this clever chap. And, agrees Freddie, faint heart ne'er won fair lady, and he ought to know after being class corresponding secretary for three terms. His itching fingers fnot palmj soon found other activities in being associate and news editor of the Hermorzite. When it came to cross-country, Freddie certainly did choose to run. To prove that there was something back of that broad smile, he made scholastic honors and capped the climax by making Cum Laude. Lucky, indeed, is going to be the college that gets this man.

CLARENCE HUGO Meriden, Connecticut . . . Not satisfied . . . a high-school diploma . . . Ingenious, assirluous, and agreeable describe a certain fellow on our campus whose suavity and altruistic attitude have achieved for him a place among us. Not satisfied with his high-school diploma, Clarence entered Mount Hermon to get another and thus to doubly equip himself for college. Though he has been a senior but a short time, he has profited much in experience with blind dates. Thus with experience his teacher and with persistency to conquer the seemingly unconquerable, together with his genial smile Clarence is sure to be a success. NED B. JOHNSON, JR. Philomathean Hazleton, Pennsylw ama . . . catches both in and across . . . Ned was reared among the ever-persistent Dutch CPennsylvaniaj. The class knows him by his running, the school by his frankness, but his wife by his Dutch temper. He has been consistent, cheerful, and determined to accomplish his de- sired end. Being a devotee of Isaac VValton, Ned has secured good catches both in and across the river. But then the success of a fisherman is often due to his line, yet, the only place Ned tooted his own horn was in the organization known as the Loyal Sons of Discord.

Now here is a fellow who played well with a comb, a football, a basketball, and a baseball. How he could play with that old comb ! But, there was a method in his care, for it is rumored that like every true Hermonite, he soon blazed a trail of his own whereby he didn't have to cross the river to reach Northfield. There he had, so the saying goes, interests not exactly athletic. VVe will leave that to Wally, but what we want to know is this: if fast basketball dismayed those en- trancingly curly locks, which ironing could not make straight, what will fast fiying do? Wally claims Lehigh, Lehigh claims VVally, look out, you modern aeronautical engineers, here he comes! Activities-Athletics: Football, F. '31, Basketball, F. '31, Baseball, S. '32. 19

1932 JOHN T. HOLDEN Philomathean Holyoke, Massachusetts . . . principals . . . will testify . . . J ack-He was not content to follow the well-trod paths.-This restless, impetuous youth blazed a trail all his own. Nor was roving his pitfall. Often- times his prolific hatching ideas eldered his judgment. Oftentimes he serenely gaged his obstacles- pers as well as Latin and French. Schemer extraordi- nary,-as the principals of the two well-known institutions,-to say nothing of a dormitory head,-will testify. For when Lizzie would no longer aid,-whisper it,-a Buick was known to serve. Woodsman courageous,-the nocturnal deni- zens of the forests held for him no terrors. Jolting roads,-forest trails,-his classic,-With Stanley in Northfield,-is yet to come. Activities-Class: Chairman Commencement Issue Committee: Senior Play. Club: Corresponding Secretary, F. '29g Vice-President, S. '30g Chaplain, F. '30, S. '31, Dormitory: Chairman Spirit Committee, S. '30, President, F. '30, S. '31, Athletics: Basketball, F. '31, Ilermonite: Hermonitems Editor, F.

IIICHARD HlJI'l'l'IR Lyceum Suffern, New York . . . striving to outdo the finny tribe . . . As a sincere follower and admirer of the Muses, Dick spent many hours be- fore their thrones. However, not entirely satisfied with that land of fancy, he also laid his heart at the feet of a fair young damsel at Gould. Although of an extremely conservative and a rather upright nature, he indulged in two vices: every afternoon found him either striving to outdo the finny tribe in its particu- lar form of activity or dreaming of designing homes, skyscrapers, and even cathedrals. With such dreams in mind, he will soon blend his voice with those who sing far above Cayuga's waters. Activities-Athletics: Swimming, S. '30, S. '31, S. '32, Football, F. '29, F. '30. Glee Club, F. '29, S. '30, F. '30, S. '32, DEANE W. HOWARD Pierian Waterville, Maine . . . makes deeds count louder than 'words . . . And he came from the wilds of Maine, a boy: he returned a man, enriched by the knowledge and experience that only Hermon can give. Many know him by his stately form, but few know his high ideals and lofty aspirations, since he makes deeds count louder than words. His agility on the mat has brought 'much credit to the Senior Class. He owes much of his success to his regularity in attending West Hall. The old adage that great oaks from little acorns grow is particu- larly fitting to Deane because he leaves Hermon to go to the university that was made famous by the Stein Song. Activities-Athletics: Cross-Country, F. '28, F. '29, Wrestling, S. '29, S. '31, S. '32, Indoor Track, S. '30g Soccer, F. '30, Orchestra, F. '29, S. '30. B mow r I I B HIIBIBARD Philomathean Syracuse, New York . . . inthe queen's chdteau . . . Whether flashing a brilliant handkerchief across the footlights, pursuing dar- ing rats in risky places, or leading young Cupid in deeds of mercy, Hubby was always, first and last, Desperate Ambrose Peale. How he fooled some of the people some of the time! Little ladies from Stoneleigh, Japan, Hermon, and Smith will long recall this wise-cracking son of '32 as the lover de-luxe. He was the king pin in the queen's chateau, and the tiny president of presidents: and he could tell stories-some that will long remain Hermon traditions. Now he gives himself as a living sacrifice to Hobart, where once dwelt a distant cousin. Activities-Class: Recording Secretary, S. '31g Senior Play: Commencement Issue Committee. Club: Corresponding Secretary, F. '30, S. '31g President, F. '31, S. '32. Athletics: Basketball, F. '30. Club Council: President, S. '32, Student Council, S. '32, Scholastic: Cum Laude. 18

1932 PARKER IQIMBALL Philomathezm Brookline, Massachusetts . . . Nor was Jupiter more prolific . . . Adonis himself was no more desired by the fairer ones than Parker. Nor was Jupiter more prolific in his conquests. The marvel is how he managed to remain so modest and bashful. As a first tenor in the Glee Club, as the most courteous of waiters at the imperial tables, and as the entrancingly sweet Mary C'I'm a business woman j, heroine of the Senior Play, Parker will long be remembered by many, but most of all because of his noble exploits. Activities-Class: Senior Play. Club: Vice-President, S. '31, Assistant Corre- sponding Secretary, F. '30, Choragus, F. '29, S. '30, F. '30, S. '31, F. '31. Glee Club, F. '28, W. '29, S. '29, F. '29, S. '30, F. '30, S. '31, F. '31, Hermon Quartet, F. '29, s. '30, F. '30, s. '31. IAN MACLAN1-: lK1tELL Naugatuck, Connecticut . . . had double sockets, got parlor dates . . . This boy fexcuse it please, gentlemanj spent his first year at Hermon on the first floor of Crossley, unknown, unsung, unwatched, and unswept. During his second year he moved to the third floor, and Hermon Life began. He made the All-Hcrmon football team, had double sockets, got parlor dates at the Sem, decided to graduate in 1932, and what have you, and there you are. Now what would happen if Krcll stayed another year no one knows. Activities-Class: Vice-President Q'34j, F. '31, Athletics: Football, F. '31 H. PAUL ROBERT LINFIELD Watertow n, ltlassachusetts . . . made short work of Q21 f . . . One short year has not given Paul much time to do the many things that we feel sure he might have done had he been with us longer. He has proved himself a worthy student, and his high marks are but signs pointing to his intellectual ability yet unexplored by our mind-delving faculty, whose hearts, by the way, some say he has won by so successfully conquering good old 221 f and her broth- ers and sisters in VVoolley. With his latent charm, his friendly manner, his honest ability, and his high goal B. U. will hardly resist according him a hearty welcome and success, such as he has received here. L an si A I is KL Hayward Bronxville, New York . . . must not be classed as bashful . . . Pride in his humble heritage, a deep interest in mechanics and science, and the ability to be a desirable companion have marked E-rnie's career at Hermon. Though not a born athlete, by sheer perseverance he made for himself a position on the 1932 championship football team. He is retiring and unassuming, though he must not be classed as bashful. Judging by his career at Mount Hermon, his future will be bright and happy, and marked by many successes. Activities-Class: Commencement Issue Committee. Club: President, F. '31. Dormitory: Vice-President, F. '31. Athletics: Football, F. '29, F. '30, F. '31, Track, S. '31, Scholastic: Honors, F. '31. Prizes: McBurney. 20
