UTCHMA CALVIN HOFFMAN BRAINARD Entered Collegiate September, 1920 Junior Chorus. 1924, ' 25 Major School Battalion, 1927 Second Basketball Team, 1930 Dance Committee, 1930; Chairman, 1931 Cercle Francais, 1929, ' 30, ' 31 Dramatic Club, 1930, Double Crossed ; 1931, In the Zone , Tired Trouble Enters Columbia University Calvin takes life seriously. Every move of his seems to be performed with the utmost care, precision, and intensity. Upon everything he concentrates; neither tire nor sword can call him away until the task before him is finished . Calvin is strong and silent. He speaks so seldom that his sentences fall abruptly and with unusual weight. His only voluminous moments are those when he pLivs very proficiently the piano or the saxophone. Calvin is the check-rein that restrains the rest of the class on its wild flights of fanc . At the dances, which he manages so skillfulK, he succeeds in keeping sober the fervent moments of the evening without depriving them of any of their thrill. As an actor, he laboriously thinks himself into his part, and always is successful in rendering a vibrant, effective performance. 20

FREDERICK VAN DERVEER BERG Entered Collegiate September, 1920 Reentered April, 1931 Varsity Baseball Team Enters Yale L ' niversity On seeing a friend return after ten years ' absence, wc turn at once to Rip ' an Winkle for precedent. On second thought, however, we note that our friend Mr. Berg has not been sleep- ing — but has been drawing enviable marks at other schools — and is easily recognizable, perhaps because he has not grown a beard. Anyway, Fred came back to Collegiate on April sixth; on April seventh he turned out for tennis and baseball. This manifest energy, together with his ability to read Vergil intelligently, will undoubtedly distinguish him. even though only two months remain. We only wish he had come back sooner. 19

But the chances are that you already know him, for he collects and watches over the cash of the Athletic Association, the Dutchman , the Dramatic Club, .ind the French Club. Robert E. is also able guard .ind captain of the varsity basketball team, in which capacity his athletic frame and game spirit are taxed to the utmost. This exertion, how- ever, does not prevent him from playing a brilliant game of baseball, which he docs for the glory and great satisfaction of old Collegiate. Whatever Bob chooses to work at, whether it be driving an armored car or collect- ing taxes, we know that he will work with vigor and efficiency, and win out. 21
