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.

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?

Qlgklili l7fXS'l'lCQ'lU- llllfi 1 l i EDWIN HIGGIN BOTTOM AM Born in Millbury, Masr., December 21, 1904. Millbury High School. Permanent Address, Millbury, Mars.

No discursive presentation of Edwin's collegiate achievements is necessary, for when one has had the good fortune of excelling in athletics one's popu- larity is invariably established. Though Ed appreciated and accepted- perhaps passively and with delightful modesty-whatever adulation was bestowed upon him his evaluation of his prowess was never metamorphosed into a degenerate vaingloriousnessg nor did he ever allow himself to be greatly perturbed if perchance it were lacking. Indeed, athletics were the most prominent phase of his life here at Clark but by no means the most dominant, for Edwin realized, wisely, no doubt, that future success would not depend exclusively upon excellence in physical superiority but rather upon a harmonious blending with this superiority the possession of a good mind. Hence, with this thought he combined admirably and gracefully the physical and intellectual elements of his personality so that when we look upon Ed we see a man whose mind is as firm and capable as his body. The future unrolls before us all and with varying degrees of color and fascination. To some the vocation of a pedagogue is the acme of boredomg but to Ed and to many others who are fortunately impregnated with an altruistic spirit teaching possesses unparalleled charm. Edwin is intrinsically human, fond of what the world calls fun g a perennial twinkling sparkles in his eye, while frequent spontaneous and genuine laughter both attest to the joviality of his nature. Sincere and devoted to an ideal-whether this ideal represents something of inconsequential significance or something momentous, such as friendship. Indeed, it is this adamant faithfulness to everything that makes Edwin attractive to all who know him and which will render him lovable to those who will meet him in the future. It is with pride and total sanction of his fellow-students that we wish Ed the best luck in the world. HP-Iiggyn Ai x' l63l
