Came to Gettysburg September, 1930. Here we present the Cab Calloway of the class. For three years our school has been in- fested with the Hi-de-hi's,' and Ho-de-ho's of this jazz maniac, who also for three years has just about been bringing the building down with the thumping of his drums, We have yet to see Q'Med', when he canit answer anything you want to know about orchestras. And then on top of all that he instituted the Walter Winchell Column in the GAG, which pre- ci itated hi ' ' ' ' e it up. But on top of it all he isn't such a bad fellow as this write-up would have you believe. He's heading for a journalistic course at either Princeton or Columbia, but regardless of where he is, we guarantee you'll be able to hear him. N S ' GURNEY EUGENE I-IETRICK Eugene 'Q X Silence is a virtue. Mx: 5 X Lewisberry, Pa. Rifle eam '32-,335 Baseball '33. Came to Gettysburg September, 1932. This, clear friends, is the mysterious Adonis of the class. Have you ever met anyone- associated with anyone--whom you absolutely cannot fathom? Of course you have, and i'Eugene'y is just that type of fellow. And can this boy wear clothes! T've yet to find a better dressed man in this school. But if you know Eugene , as only a few of us are privileged to, you will never know a finer fellow or a more thorough gentleman. ' WILLIAM HUGGINS Bill lim just a great big bundle of love. xx , Columbus, Ohio Football 32. Came to Gettysburg September, 1932. 'Twas a balmy day in mid-September that 'tHuggins dear appeared on the scene, gracing our presence with his everlasting happy-go-lucky manner. And being of the dynamic nature that he is, Bill has firmly planted himself well within the hearts of his fellow classmates. l'Honey is a bit undecided as to his future, but with his unparalleled good nature and obliging manner, he ought to be a big success regardless of where he goes. May the gods of good fortune be with you, Bill'y. FRANCIS WILLARD HOOPER Fritz', . The Crooner ' wasn't no saint, but at judgment I'd run my chance with Fritz. Altoona, Pa.

Not content with being a c olastic marvel, i'Fritz ventured out upon the athletic fields, and there proceeded, to add to hi already excellent record. In short, Fritz,' has been a valuable addition to his class, and it is only a well-known fact to say that he is one of the most congenial fellows we know. s 5253 L

OSOGA 533 CD CHARLES FRANKLIN DOUGLAS erD0ugvr izclarkry 'Ah ba, fair maidensf hissed the villain, tnfixling his lmrley mustaclzefi Orwigsburg, Pa. Baseball '33. Came to Gettysburg September, 1932. The gentleman whose picture accompanies this write-up is the hero of not a few Gettys- burg girls, and-incidentally-the marvel of not a few Academy boys themselves. This is one of the human specie who can really wear a mustache and not look like-oh any number of things. And we are awaiting the day when some movie director spies Doug , for when and if he ever hits the silver screen, millions of feminine hearts will surely be broken. But l'Dougl' is one plenty nice ball twirler. He is reputed of having more hooks on a ball than a chorus girl has on her costume. Whether he aspires to be a big-leaguer, we can't say, but if he continues in his present capacity, helll be no mean amateur, believe us.

Came to Gettysburg September, 1929. Here, dear friends, is probably the best natured member of our class. We have yet to see Eck', when he doesnlt feel inclined to lend a hand. And besides being a possessor of that most admirable trait, Paul,' can really do things to a piano and trombone. We hope some day to see our Paul', classed with Jack Miles and Bert Lown, both famous orchestra leaders as well as trombone players. Very rarely have we ever seen Eck,' when he hasn't some music with him, and he is always willing to rip off a tune on the piano for us, too. His course has been exceedingly difhcult this year, and it is with pardonable pride that we boost him as one of our best workers. gs I VICTOR FALCONE s Monky' Vic W' Wl7at.l No Salome! Utica, N. Y.

Came to Gettysburg September, 1930. It is very rarely that one runs across a person that excels both in athletics and scholarship. UVic , however, is one of these exceptions. For the past three years he has been one of the mainstays of the football team, and has maintained an enviable scholarship record as well. And on top of all that the Monk,' has proved to be one of the finest fellows in the school. We predict big thin or this boy. Good luck, Vic,'! X 1 BERNARD JOHN GIRTON Boomer', Dynamite often comer in small pacltageffj Bloomsburg, Pa. Football ,325 Basketball ,32-'33, Student Senate '32-,339 Baseball ,33. Came to Gettysburg September, 1932. This diminutive creature proved to be one of the fastest backs Gettysburg Academy foote ball has ever seen. It was a certain gain when the ball was given to Boomerl', and it was he who was responsible for many of the high-lights of the last season's games. But Barney excels not only in football-he's a basketball man, too. He has only been with us a year, and the only grudge that we can have against him is that he didn't come to Gettysburg sooner. l24l'

You have never seen a real argument until you've seen t'Bill argue. He and his room- mate, Eddie McGill, as everyone knows, are probably the worldls greatest arguers. Politics, religion, athletics-anything is the basis for the arguments of these two. And Hutch is very mysterious concerning a little lady up humv, too. It seems that get igamedis--well let's not go into that. The fact remains she has, without question, one great oy rien . 1 JOHN CHRISTOPHER IRWIN, JR.

'BusU is the industrial member of our class. Many wondered how BusH spent his sum- mers, and after considerable coaxing, he broke down and revealed to our amazement that he worked on a road crew of the Pennsylvania Railroad. And this cleared up several things, one of which was his powerful playing on the grid-iron. To see 'tBus tackle is like seeing a ten- ton truck tear through a brick wall, for never have we had a more powerful defensive on our elevens. john is undecided as to his future, but where'er he goes our sincere wishes of great suc- cess are with him.

Presenting Little Caesar , ladies and gentlemen. But Maurice is not at all what the ve name indicates, actually, he is as quiet and utendeti' a lad as one may ever see. A little 'way out in Ohio can ditto us on that. It is nothing unusual to see Tony standing near the telephone. In fact, he lives for the sweet ringing of its harmonious bells. Several nights a week he dutifully drops several quarters in the 'phone box and proceeds to call East Liverpool. Whom he asks for everyone knows, so we wonyt stress that. The fact remains there is no one in the school who is more dependable than Maurice, and with such a habit, he should ascend the ladder of success rapidly. We wish you the best of luck, l'Little Caesar . ' RICHARDSON WORDEN LACHINE Dick 'tDickie Up and down lre goes with terrible, reckless strides. Southern Pines, N. C. Chief Photographer Osoga Staff '32-,33g Second Honor ,3I-,32, ,32-I33. Came to Gettysburg September, 1928. No class would be complete without its radio maniac, and here is the one of this year- Dick,'. Roughly estimating, Dick has had confiscated, during his some five years here, approximately ten radios. That is more ot less of a guess, but the number stated is probably too small rather than too large. After every faculty raid, of which there are several each year, UDick goes tearing out after another radio, for as Rich,' will tell you, radios cannot be hidden, a goodly number of us know that. Dick', expects to continue at Gettysburg College next year. Weill be seein' ya', Dick',! i261
