THE SENIOR YEARBOOK ED,YVARD LANGDON BARTHOLOMEN1', J 11. Lyceum Up from the cranberry bogs of Cape Cod came our little hero. A midget in size but a giant in intellect, Bart easily survived Mr. Barrus's chemistry classes, for he was already adept with a slide rule. A speedy outfielder, a clever wrestler, a good soccer player, a brainy football man, a loyal club member, and, above all else, a stalwart friend, Bart is one of the leaders in the class. M.I.T. can offer this little fellow no obstacle which he can't sur- mount. Activities--Musical: Choir, Committee, S. '33. Athletics: ball, S. '32, S. '33. ALLEN ZABRISKIE BOGERT Pieria Another one of Terpsichore's choice companions is our gifted Al. Al is a bountiful source of inspiration to the tongue-tied descriptive genius, for, if ever lost, he can be located by the one adjectival attribute, Smiley. His stay at Hermon has been short, but his mark has been deeply cut fto be said with due respect to the since his first appearance on the Hill always commanded the respect of his fellow students. Moreover, respect has even been forwarded to his future Alma Mater, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Activities-Musical: Jazz Orchestra, F. '32, S. '33, Choir, F. '32, S. '33, Glee Club, F. '32, S.

Joe has also been not a mainstay on the class track and can daily be seen stepping briskly down through the Pines after supper, and, according to his Boswellian com- panion, Ambrose, our little Joey may also be seen saundering to Her- mon's Waterloo, Northfield. Joe is following the usual course of High- honor men and is going to Yale, where we know success awaits him. Activities-Club: Treasurer, F. '32. Athletics: Football, F. '31, Cross- oountry, F.

As a charter member of the Three Musketeers he has alarmed Sem matrons and has disturbed the peace of Crossley's inmates with his vocal exertions. The pluck and eifort he has shown in cross-country will be of advantage to him at Boston University, where he is to prepare for an advertiser's career. But, no matter where Bob goes, we are sure he'll be an advertisement for Hermon. Activities-Dormitory: Spirit Committee, S. '33. Athletics: Track, S. '32, S. '33, Cross-country, F. '31, F.

NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE MARDEN DEWEY AMBROSE Pieria Refreshing has been smiling, friendly, unsophisticated Amby to us on the Hill,-first appearing in shorts, now wearing them long like a vet- eran. Athletically, his rangy piston-like legs have predorninated,-whether on the field or in Crossley's mixups. Scholastically, he has evinced a keen mind hungry for knowledge, besides a propensity for Samuel J ohnson's eru- ditiqn in vocabulary. Especially outstanding is the fact that not a solitary enemy has amiable Amby among the teachers or the students. Whole- heartedly, therefore, do we all youth at Williams,-but watch your hole-in-one golf shots, Amby! Activities--Athletics: Cross-country, F. '31, F. '32, Hockey, F. '31, F. '32: Swimming, S.

BRUCE Philomathea The mighty bruiser from Georgetown, Bruce has spent four years in mak- ing Hermon safe for the future generations. A born organizer, Bruce or- ganized the football team, the track team, the baseball team, the whole Athletic Department, Crossley Hall, the farm, two roommates, and Fat Graf. His delicate sense of humor and mastery of sarcasm have made him invaluable as Mr. Ross's Crossley Police Force. He holds the record for attending the least number of class parties in four years, but Colgate has already drafted him for chairman of its Junior Prom. From college Bruce intends to bury himself in his chosen work-ditch digging. Activities-Club: Vice-president, S. '32, President, F. '32. Dormitory: Secretary, S. '32: Treasurer, F.

He came up from the Big City four years ago to make his name as a coming scientist. He knows, every book in the library and even dares to tell the science profs where their master's degree thesis was weak. As for cuts, he gets out Cthrown outj of more classes than most of us, yet he has enviable grades to show. But what would the etiquette class do without him? His next stop is M.I.T., where he can mix chemicals to his heart's content. Activities-Athletics: Soccer, F. '32. Scholastic: Honors, S. '32, Cum Laude. Poughkeepsie, New York wish and predict success for this promising RICHARD FRANKLIN AINIES Philomathea W'e.s't Hartford, Connecticut Ah! The beautiful sublimity of it all, has frequently been Dick's thought as he meandered his way from one classroom lounge to another to slip from one lethargic reverie to that of a deeper origin. His frequent spasms of scholastic integrity have brought him the good marks that he de- serves. And his only regret is that he has had no chance to demonstrate his waltzing prowess at the Senior Prom this year,-he must have been absent QFD when the great event did not take place. If this boy can talk himself into half as much as he has talked himself out of, he will be a howling success. Activities-Class: Senior Play, Corresponding Secretary, S. '33. DeMolay Forum.

NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE HoRAcE WINFIELD BOLTON Northfeld, Iilassachusetts Not having been permitted to attend the Seminary, Bolt has made his way to and from Hermon every day for the past six years. His lifts to the station are famous, at least among that vast army,-no, not of unem- ployed, but of week-enders. He has a kind and generous heart and is al- ways ready with a helping hand even though he is not a Boy Scout. One Senior party at the Sem has of late smashed his hopes of taking his Post- Graduate course there. He stands at the portals of Massachusetts State College, waiting to enter the world of advanced knowledge. HOMER LEw1s BRADLEY, JR. Pieria Bridgeport, Connecticut A year ago a roaring train from Oklahoma brought a tall, smiling young man, who is well known on the campus as Rusty. His winning and sincere manner caused the Pierians to desire his fellowship. Although Rusty did not make his H, his ability in basketball and track has won him his class numerals. In the inter-dormitory football game this right end showed his characteristic determined attitude to take all and like it. When Rusty en- ters politics, as he hopes to do, Roosevelt will find a staunch supporter of his beer program. We wish you a successful career, Rusty. CHARLES FRED BREYN'S'fER, JR. Lyceum Teaneck, New Jersey One of Teaneck, New Jersey's contributions to Hermon, Fred has left his mark of quiet capability on the books of the Class of '33. During his one short year Neath Monadnock's gaze, Fred has romped the soccer field, plunged in the tank, capered on the basketball floor, and put away his share of Demi's strength-building beans. Despite the above diversions and, of course, the Seminary, Fred has found time to study, and his success augurs well for his future at the University of Pennsylvania, where he will learn to decorate a half acre of mahogany desk. Activities-Athletics: Swimming, S. '33g Tennis, S. '33, CHARLES EATON BROWNING Good Government Norwich, Connecticut Early in his career, after hearing the spade oration, Charlie adopted as his motto, We Shovel. His pen has had an active part in upholding this motto, for, in addition to being a reader of every book within reach, except textbooks, he has carried on a correspondence course with the Sem and points East that puts Earle Leiderman to shame. Cy, as he is called by his friends, may he described as a punk punster, poet, and palpitator of maid- enly hearts, but, we may add, with some misgivings on the part of the de- scriber. Charlie is going to take an Amos an' Andy course at Alabama in the near future, after which he expects to sell Milky Ways. Activities-Student Council, F. '31, S. '32.
