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

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

T H E M I I I E S 'I' O N E .Y 5 JOHN SAMUEL BIZIIJGICS Baltimore, Md. Scientific Course lflntered school 19224 Preparing for the University of Pennsylvania Orchestra '26 Mid-year Prom Committee '26 Asst. Gym Instructor Football '2-1, '25 Tennis '25, '26 KKSZIYYIY1 The acme of manly beauty and physical perfection. Playmate of Earl Liederman and Charley Atlas. His best friend, a dumb-bell. Every other night this superman pulls from beneath his desk a Wicked looking contrivance, and amid cheers from the spectators, and much grunt- ing and sweating, proceeds to assume odd positions and make weird pass- es. Each month he collects magazines devoted to physical culture, but containing, as far as We can make out, numerous studies of the feminine nude with an occasional hairy ape. Sam was pivot man on the foot-ball team, a member of the track squad, and the tennis team. He engineered the Mid-Year Prom, taking the important part of Permanent Relief Man. When the cash-box got overloaded Sam relieve-d it promptly and permanently. But he Worked: hard, and the dance was a success, although Dr. Ing- ham seemed to have an uncomplimentary opinion of the orchestra. Next year Sam trots off to Penn, leaving Dummer with a place that will not be filled easily. y -l21l
