The toothless wonder. We always rub our eyes and throw the last load of bootleg away when we see Larry with, without and then with his front teeth. To-o much football has played havoc with his nippers. Larry plays football, basketball and hockey, and runs on the track team in spare time. ' He fondly believes that he plays the saxaphone, but the general opin- ion seems to be to the contrary. He is a member of the Smoking Club, and ofttimes joins Smiling Robert in spreading tobacco juice over the mural decorations. Larry is a member of the Student Council , which may or may not be to his credit. He is not the sort of boy to take advantage of his position, so We do not resent his Lights Out or Five Marks. Larry is going to follow his father's footsteps in the cruel, co-ld world. His father being a shoe manufacturer, his job should be comparatively easy. We rather think he will get ahead because he is a consistent plugger, and is not given to unmanly dissipations. At least we wish him luck. Well, here we go! l23l

T H E M I L E S T O N E ROBERT CAMERON CARTER JR. Glens Falls, New York Classical Course Entered school 1925 Preparing for Hamilton College Football Squad '25 Tennis Squad '26 Nick Nick is one of our little cut-ups. French III is usually the scene of his straying from the straight and narrow path. He gets up and beats the boys mercilessly, showing neither fear nor favor. Up on the top floor of Commons where Nick resides there sometimes arise foul and rank odors. Scientists are unable to discover the reason for these, although Nick Schultz has advanced some logical theories. We are unable as yet to make these public, but hope to after a little more research work. One thing which does make us mighty proud of Nick, and that is the way he does the Charleston, or in fact any way he dances. Every muscle in his body comes into play in a sort of cross between the shimmy and the Saint Vitus dance. Nick went out for football, but hurt his leg. He dragged it around in a plaster cast for a good while. Before that he was a very promising drop-kicker and punter. He had a nasty habit of sticking his tongue out at peop-le, and was almost dropped from the squad when he caused several members to burst into tears by this unnecessary roughness. But he was a good sort, and one who will always bring a smile when we think of him. l22l

Considering the violent and almost vulgar language with which he characterizes this dear old subject We must bow to him for his persistent study. We caught him doing it the first night of a new term, and ever since t'hen we have gazed with awe at this prodigy. Jerry played on the foot-ball team, and then decided to take a rest. He joined John Bridges and his aspiring, but not perspiring gymnasts. Jerry is an Archoner and a Milestoner, especially the latter, being the power plant of this publication. It has netted him a lot of Work and a lot of days off. But he earned them, so we shouldn't kick. He is the boy who introduced a particularly fine specimen of felin- ity into the time-worn halls of the Commons. That cat was the joy and fear ol' his life, and caused him beaucoup trouble in its day. It was also Lhe two-yard dash champion. We can picture Jerry as a college trained cat trainer. l2f1l
