l947' WHiSPERSf Q CRADUA TEX ARCHIBALD STUART BALDWIN For the past three years we have watched Stu forge ahead through the scholastic grind that we are all exposed to here on the Hill. By an un- daunted elfort he has won his laurels. This same determination that he has shown in the class room was put to excellent use on the playing field. Though small of stature Stu is of unlimited spirit and gameness, Climaxing his whole school life was his securing of the inner office job. In this position, however, efficiency seemed to be a minor point. In parting, remember-You can't take it with youl' Third Year Glen Arm, Md.

Four years ago Hugo came here somewhat smaller and less en- lightened fa profound statementlj. Immediately he acquired the nick-name Blimp, and com- menced studying. , Now we aren't saying Hugo is stellar in either athletics or studies. but we do say he's of the school rather than in the school, which is to say he takes an interest in and tries hard at both athletics and studies. Hugo, we understand, will be right back here when the old bell clangs away next fall. He's well on his way towards becoming a landmark of this section.

l947 WHISPERS Q CUM LAUDE DANIEL PEYTON SULLIVAN Last year the editors of this volume said that Dan had completed a well rounded and successful school year. Evidently our subject didn't think so, for this year he returned to further his successes. In this effort Dan has done many and varied things. Of these his football and work on the publications are the best remembered. Last year it was said that he was to enter the University of Michigan. After that error we hesitate to commit ourselves again in a prediction of Dan's future. ' r They who go Feel not the pain of parting. it is they Who stay behind that suffer.

C25 His perseverance is to be ad- mired as it has enabled him to graduate with par- ticular Qcum laudel honors. OD No matter what task confronts him, he tries to do it well. He isn't the type who hogs the spot-light, but his nose is usually to the grindstone. A sound which makes us linger, yet-farewell! Cornell it is. Wes. . Fifth' Year St. Matthews. S. C.

I947 WHISPERS Q CRADUA TEX XVINGFIELD GRIFFIN BUR'NETT Griff believes in standing up for that in which he believes, And he's not particular with whom he has to cross up to do this. Thus. he has won our admiration as a strong character. In three years he has accumulated five varsity letters in such varied sports as football, basketball. and tennis. Griff is a very popular fellow and a go-getter. Come next autumn, Princeton will be the proud possessor of one Griff Burnett, whom we shall miss a great deal.

SAMUEL JAMES CALVERT, JR. Sam is appreciated because he is not the type who is constantly babbling away about nothing, or as the immortal bard would have it. full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. In every institution there are certain persons who work erratically and others who work steadily. The persons of the latter category usually get there before those of the former. Sam is of the second. Consequently, don't be surprised if, after finals. you see him lavishing caresses upon a document which is all rolled up. Parting is such sweet sorrow. isn't it, Sam? Goodbye!
