A RATHER slight, smiling figure in a cagcyl', careening Ford, its every action showing some characteristic of its master bucking drifts and battling wind to make a class. Laughter always, with sometimes the spice of quickening anger-yet the whole cloaked over with an issue of things . There you have a fine picture of this line gentleman pictured above. Ever attentive to the wa s and means f accom lishment. Bu ' ' this great world of oursyand Clifl mcieans to Ee a part of tlsiigeiuglrijdlsii The appreciation of things which lend to the sympathetic spirit is not absent is this Clarkian. But we should say Clarkian with restraint. The Univer- sity of Vermont willed Cliff to us. Vermont is a bare, cold place anyway. You see above the pulsating murmur of vibrating steel. The eagerness and tenseness of a Kentucky Derby as the horses go under the wire. The sounds of laughter on a soft summer breeze-a line-drawn temperament, 21 certain mobility of movement and expression--joviality, everything totaling into the one word-spirit. Cliff -personification of the word comrade-here's looking at you. IC CMH! Y ,H l6ll TT' .JI Kg ' 1 iv i. H ti rpg- . y ii lx, b il l . tt Vx K , xx A XX ,, ,xy i i ix xxx ll 4 ll Ps Pr .ii fy?

Llkllli l'.-XS'l'lQ'L'lU 1976 SAMUEL GRIFF Born in Lithuania, April 19, 1903. Prepared at High School of Com- merce, Plforcexter, Marx.

EVERY year, below an imposing portrait of a fellow classmate, and below a long and extended list of college activities fthe ego sheet , as it has so aptly been characterizedj one reads further eulogies and laudations of our beloved classmate. So trite and hackneyed have these praises been that I feel Sam really deserves a better fate at my hands. Not being a Gamaliel Bradford, how- ever, my biography of Sam will have to be limited in its scope, and may even trend to glorif1cation. Sam made his appearance on the Clark Campus in the fall of 1922, fresh from Commerce High School of this city QWorcesterj. Unlike most Commerce High students, Sam at first showed propensities for an extended study of the natural sciences. He soon, however, came under the influence of the left-wing of the school, the social science and history students, and gradually manifested a keen desire in that field. This desire, though a grad- ual evolutionary process, developed into a deep and appreciable understand- ing of these subjects. Throughout the remainder of his college years Sam has shown fully, both by his scholastic standing and by his affiliations with various clubs of the inquisitive nature fCosm0politan Club, Liberal Club and Science Clubj his achievements in this field of research. In my associations with Sarn', I have come to realize this quality of the true student which he possesses, and I must confess that there are few who surpass him in this respect, or even equal him. Sam's,' interest in intellectual pursuits has not prevented his participa- tion in extra-curricula activities. As a basketball player, as a soccer player and as a bass in our melodious Glee Club he has demonstrated the versatility which he inherently possesses, and has been rather reserved in proclaiming to the outside world-a quality which not a few of us lack. It would be futile and superfluous to wish Sam success in his worldly endeavors for if he continues to go at things with the same conscientiousness as he has shown while at college, success and happiness are bound to come. Au Revoir, Monsieur--Gluck mit Gesundn. A l60 I

tlklil-Q E -.S'l'It'L'lU lvlfwf ALLEN MATHEWS HADLEY Born in Hancock. N. H., A July 25, 1903 Prepared at Cushing Academy. Freshman Banquet Committee CID, Science Club 12, 3. 43: President 133 5 Sophomore Police KZJ 3 Senior Banquet Committee 149. IF you have ever been in Hancock, New Hampshire, and have seen how the mountains reach up on all sides, you will begin to understand just why Al is so far-reaching . For it is this delightful old town that calls him native son and these very mountains, no doubt, that gave him the incentive to aspire to higher things. Al,' was graduated in 1920 from the High School of his home town. After matriculating at Cushing Academy for two years and finding Coeds more or less interesting fwe've forgotten whichj, Alu looked around for larger fields to conquer. It was in September, l922, that he treked to Clark to expose himself to the terrors of a college education. But Al is a rugged soul and so, for two and one-half years he dis- tinguished himself as a Science Major. During that time he could be found most any day in company with Doc and Donn discussing Quantitative and Qualitative Analyses fwhatever that might bej. Last year, however, Al found a new love and, deserting the old, became an ardent supporter of and a conscientious student in Clark's School of Geography. So, it is as a geographer that Allan hopes to lay his chief claim to that fickle and fleeting goddess, Fame, and he can rest assured that his friends here-and they are legion-wish him highest success in his chosen field.
