Manager of Football '23 Manager of Baseball '25 Manager of Hockey '26 Class Historian '23 Alex The boy with the tired eyes-more commonly known as Weary Willie . Alex is a Worker though, as the foot-ball and hockey teams can testify. He Was assistant manager of one, and manager of the other. Be- tween times he played trainer for the track team. But it always makes me sleepy to look at him. Last fall Alex started getting behind some cigars. It seems he couldn't control them, and they played all kinds of havoc with his fragile constitution. But he has gotten over that now, and is his former self. He is heading for M. I. T. Where men aren't men, but greasy grinds. lt is our personal opinion that he tries to look tired so his family will think he has been working. Just an emergency measure in case the grade should prove too steep. We think he'll make it though. We caught him reading Plato in his spare time, which is reason enough for our confidence. I19l

THE MILESTQNE JOHN WINTHROP HINDS Milford, N. H. General Course Entered school 1921. Preparing for New Hampshire State President of the Senior Class '26 Student Council '24, '26 Junior Prom Committee '24, '25 Football Dance Committee '24, '25 Smoking Club '26 Goodwin Athletic Prize '24 Football '23, '24, '25 Basketball '22, '23 Captain '24, '25, '26 Baseball '22, '23, '26 Captain '24, '25 Track '24, '25, '26 HDOCH Here we have a strong silent man. Female hearts flutter at sight of this brute, and then crack and break as he goes on his unheeding Way. For John sticks faithfully to a certain blonde in the New Hampshire Hills. As an athlete we must bow to him. The best back that Dummer has ever produced, a star basket-ball player, dash man, shot-putter, anchor- man on the relay team, and catcher on the baseball team. Not so bad for one small boy. Doc is also a loyal member of the Smoking Club, and spec player, par excellence. His drag with the faculty is a thing marvelous to behold, and the envy of all us humble beholders. If We rated. as he does, school wouldn't keep. But we don't, so Dummer rolls on. In practicing for his future profession of plumbing, he usually for- gets to do his work, but now and then he is condescending, and prepares a lesson. A good scout, though, and Dummer will feel his loss. IO o'clockl Lights out! Five marks, Albianil llfil

T H E M I L E S T O N E r in DANIEL ADAMS BROWN Newbury, Mass, Classical Course Entered school 1922 Preparing for New Hampshire State I KlDan77 The quietest boy in Dummer Academy-so quiet, indeed, that one day Mr. Phillips asked in the study hall, Is Dan Brown still in school '? Whereupon Dan promptly gave pro-of of his presence with a few Well chosen words, breaking a silence of many Weeks. We haven't heard from him since. One could easily imagine Dan as the old owl perched on an oak who the more he heard, the less he spoke. But because he is so quiet and bashful, I can't find out anything about him and thereby hangs the tale. What ho! Dannello, my lord! I 20 I I
