THE SENIOR YEARBOOK RICH Schenectady, New York Come what come may . . strolls down through the Pines to start the week off with a bang. His reputation as the champion tiddly- winks player of the Laundry, high in our records. He is a steady plugger and is bound for happy land- ings on the campus of the University of Syracuse. Activities--Athletics: Soccer, F. '32. ROBERT Good Government Hermon's sole claimant to cause of many an accelerated heart-beat among the fair Semites! Whitey's Nemesis has been the well-known house-maid's knee, hence the cramped style! Favorite pastimes,-letters from the one and only, punk puns, and the muscle factory. Aspiration-Harvard, for that characteristic close-to- the-wood haircut fits into the we'll remember that cutting sense of humor and the genial personality which have made him as much appre Activities-Athletics: Football H, F.

'32, Business Manager, S. '33, Hermonite Key. FREDERICK WILLIAM BRUNER Lyceum Evanston, Illinois Whether in the classroom or on the athletic field, Fred showed that he has the ability to work and play hard. This man Bruner has found the happy medium in his life at Hermon, and he has won the admiration of all those with whom he has come into contact. To see him wrestle is an inspiration, and we who have been in his English classes know that Fred can throw Samuel Johnson or Macbeth just as easily because of his consistent work in training. Fred has not been satisfied with the lesser attainments, and he has, therefore, chosen M.I.T., a college which requires more than most men are willing to put forth. Keep up the head work, Fred, and we shall have a noted engineer in a few years. Activities-Athletics: Cross-country, F. '32, Indoor Track, S. '32, S. '33, Soccer, F. '31, F. '32, Wrestling, S.

Dick persistently insisted that his Sunday to the gates were a necessary factor in order where he used buttons for the disks, stands NORMAN VVESLEY BUTTERFIELD Hayward Pittsfield, Massachusetts Thoroughly shocked by his experiences at the Pittsfield General Electric Company, Norm has spent his life here in the sedate seclusion of Crossley,- third, south. He has continually set the pace, both in the classroom and on the track. One of the few students who take the trouble to read scholarly books, Butter has words of wisdom which are worth listening to. A true son of the soil, he goes to Massachusetts State to learn the fine points of agriculture,-an ambition conceived when guiding the milk truck through the early morning fogs of Hermon.

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. Dormitory: Cottages, Treas- urer, S. '29, Vice-president, F. '29, Overtoun, Treasurer, S. '30, President, F. '31, S. '32. Musical: Glee Club, Vice-president, F. '30, Religious: Mis- sion Study Class, Vice-president, S. '29. Athletics: Cross-country, F. '29, F. '30, F. '31, F. '32. Senior Life Saving. 17

NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE ROBERT LYMAN CARR Northfield, Illassaehusetts Still waters run deep. This probably explains Bob's sphinx-like silence. Bob early acquired the habit of reserving his opinions of everything and everybody,-including the faculty. Bob has a teasing tendency toward hunting and fishing. This craving is so great that more than once he has been caught by the waters of the Minnetonka, alias Shadow Lake, trying to catch polywogs with whale hooks. He early acquired the surname Old Dependable, no, not because he resembles chewing tobacco, but because he has disclosed occasional punctuality in handing in his Physics experiments. Forestry is his choice for life's work,-let's hope he doesn't join the North- west Mounted because he and horses don't agree. WILLIAM GEORGE CARR Hayward Northfield, Massachusetts This smooth, handsome product of Northfield has surprised us all. He really is graduating. Not content with being just a day student, Bill came to Hermon for a year to live and experience all the trials of Hermon's meals. Although he presents a rather quiet exterior, a few minutes' chat with Bill proves that he has learned the facts of life. To this loyal club man and proficient student we wish all kinds of luck as he leaves Hermon. WILLIAM GARDNER CHRYSTAL H aekensack, New Jersey We can't think of tennis at Mount Hermon without thinking of Bill Chrystal, for on the courts Bill is master of all he surveys. Perhaps he never stood out as a scholar, but he has excelled in the art of fellowship. He came close to losing that Waterloo of IVA, but with a certain inspira- tion received during the Christmas Vacation, he determined to become a Senior, and he did. We are glad Bill won the battle, but we are going to miss those loud golf-socks and sweaters and that bright smile, which will surely brighten up the campus of Colgate. Activities-Class: Choragus, F. '32. Dramatics: Mount Hermon Players, F. '31, S. '32, F. '32. Athletics: Tennis, S. '32 H , Hockey, W. '32. DONALD GEORGE CLEMENT Lowell, Massachusetts Gyroscopic runs, evaporating diminuendoes, and scintillating trills never yet have swerved this ardent admirer from heroic adoration of his beloved Terpsichore. His genius has immeasurably elevated the singing of the choir, the glee club, and the quartet. Bach and Beethoven offer no impedi- ment to his nimble fingers. But be not misled-a brawnier arm never launched a lightning tennis serve or slung hash for our own insatiable maws. And when he graduates from Rensselaer, doubtless his record Will be as inspiring as that carved here at Hermon. Activities-Musical: Choir, F. '30, F. '31, S. '32, F. '32. Glee Club, F. '31, F. '32, S. '32. Quartet, S. '32, F. '32. Athletics: Tennis, S. '31, S. '32 H. Spirit Committee, F. '32. 19
