Barney always drags in with an average that sounds like an advertisement for Ivory soap. Whether Barney studies hard or whether he just has that reputation is rather hard to tell, but we suspect it's the former. Barney has no bad habits, in which trait he is like a disgustingly large number of the class. He is more or less of at woman hater, but we would like to know about that little blonde girl, who came out tothe Sophomore dance with him. Barney knows all about the iish business, which is convenient on Fridays, inasmuch as we always know what we're getting. This Winter Barney brought his mathematical mind to bear on spec , with the result that he soon became a prodigyg but this triumph was short-lived, for XYatkins snatched his title right back. If Barney is remembered for no other reason he will be remembered for his laugh. Wrhen he latihs, he starts in by making low moans, meanwhile shaking all over. The moans rise to a shrill cackle: the shaking grows worse 1 then the disturbance subsides. The Whole performance reminds one of a volcanic eruption. XYhy, I haven't a prayer of making the honor roll this month. No chance at all. i 19 1

T H E M I L E S T O N E JAMES ELLISON MORSE, JR. Danvers, Mass. Scientific Course lintered school 1922. Preparing for Pratt Institute junior Prom Committee, '24 Orchestra, '23, '24, '25 President Smoking Club, '2-1'-'25 Klanager of football, '23 Varsity baseball, '24 Blouse , Here's the bold bad man, hardened butt-fiend, and a hard working studentg at least for conversational purposes. The time was when lNlouse could hold his younger brother in check, but since then Farley has grown up a bit. The blouse plays in the outfield and is generally conceded to be the luckiest man ever to put on baseball shoes. If there is no other way for him to reach base, the first baseman is usually kind enough to drop dead, oi someone drops the ball, or something else happens. The other day When Mouse slid a base, we heard a clankwhich we think might have been a horse shoe in his pocket. Mouse has not been so very successful in sticking to the O.A.O., 'so it seems. Something seems to happen every once in a while to set him off. Comin' over to the club, black? 'One And Only. I 18 1

T H E M I L E S T O N E CURTIS GARDNER WATKINS Gardner, Mass. General Course Entered school 1923. Preparing for KI. I. T. President Smoking Club, '23-'24 Dalton Hamor Prize, Baseball, '21 Varsity basket ball, '24, '25 Varsity baseball, '24 Varsity tennis, '24 Tennis doubles, '24 Football squad, '24 Burr Burn, is from Gardner. If you talk to him l:1VC minutes, you will find that out. Incidentally he will tell you how many chairs were made in Gardner the year before and how Gardner stood in the baseball league. Burr is a walking Chamber of Commerce. Burr has rejuvenated the art of moustache growing, which had declined since the days cf 'floel' Brock. At least Burr calls it a moustache and prunes and cultivates it every dayg but those who view it from a distance notice it not at all, and those who are close are rather doubtful. Typewriting is f'Burr's delight. The hard working boy is always at it Cforced to bel and often stays home from town just to typewrite. Ask Mr. Reagan. Burr is a pretty useful man on the basket ball floor and on the baseball diamond, but he cannot play either game without reminding us what a good team Gardner had last year. Sure, Gardner beat Fitchburg. They always beat Fitchburgf' l 20 il
