' Mac' has clearly demonstrated to all and sundry his uncanny. Heaven-sent ability to get by on almost no work at all. His bright and shining face, caught in an attitude of complete repose, bordering on a state of coma is. he claims, the biggest factor in his phenomenal success. “Mac just revels in good hard work. His endless stock of racy stories delivered in a slow monotone has enlightened the bleak routine of more than one study period, and his “smart cracks have disrupted endless history classes. Seriously. “Mac’s work on the football team has always been of the highest quality, and we look forward with pleasurable anticipation to having him back next year, and the next, and the next.

Winston and Warner represented us in the Union. The Torch board claimed Ireys. Nash. Warner and Winston. On the Call o’ Pan were Maughan and Thomas. The high point of this year was the dance, held at the Junior School, to make money for the Junior-Senior Prom, on which we made seven and one-half dollars. Returning for our final year last fall we found that our numbers had been augmented by four second-year Seniors, and by a new arrival. Bill Trauernicht. Later in the year Jerome Weber and George Van Dusen entered our happy throng. As usual, the Seniors have composed the greater part of the football, swimming, hockey and baseball teams. We have been in the Blake plays and on the debating team. Our basketball team won the championship of the school. In conclusion, we wish to express our deep gratitude to our class advisor. Mr. Cleveland, for his kindly and thoughtful advice during the past year. Edgar V. Nash Class Historian ❖ Page Eighteen

'26 Varsity Club DAVID CHARI.ES MAUGHAN Entered Blake 1920 Dave Williams A decent boldness ever meets with friends. Dave has justly earned for himself the title of The Sage of the Class of 27. His weighty flights of oratory delivered in a ponderous basso have invariably influenced the ultimate actions of his classmates, and the school generally recognizes him as the Zeus among his fellow Olympians. In his lighter moments he lends his august presence to the Choir, composing with Harvey and Ross the Senior element in that little group of earnest seekers after discord. But his real future lies in the gentle art of waiting on table, as Miss Berglund will testify. In all seriousness. Dave has. as editor-in-chief of the '27 Call o’ Pan. done the school a real and lasting service, a service that will be remembered and appreciated long after he has left us for the higher haunts of learning.
