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

T H E lVl I L E S 'I' O N IC LAWRENCE WILBUR KENNEY Lynnfield, Mass. Classical Course Entered school 1924 Preparing for the University of Pennsylvania Student Council '25 Chairman fsecond term!

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 Il E M 1 L E S T O N E ROBERT JAMES McGlNLEY So. Grovelandn Mass. Classical Course Entered school 1924 Preparing- for Brown University Associate Editor of the Milestone 1926 Associate Editor of the Archon '25 '26 Smoking Club '25, '26 Dalton Hamor Prize '25 Baseball '25, '26 Track '25, '26 Basketball '26 ldMaC!9 Smiling Robert, the Haverhill youth. Bob is one of our star athletes, lead-off man on the relay team, a consistent winner of the twenty and three hundred, forward on the basket-ball team, and about the best baseball player We have produced. He is also one of our Well-known Spanish athletes, or bull-throwers. This is perhaps his strongest point. As a member of the Smoking Club he leaves little to be desired. Some of the choicest ornaments on our Walls are Where Bob has parted with some of his Lumberjack Cut Plug. He is also a good spec player, a thing Which arouses admiration in the breast of all Dummer youths. Bob appears to be of a missionary calibre. After hearing him stub his toe one day We think he might not be so good. Either that or very good. But We all have our Weaknesses and We all have toes. So We cannot let that little fault overbalance his good points. Why, listen man . . . etc .... etc. , l25l
