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

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 M I L E S T O N E WILLIAM C. MORRISON Bradford, Mass. Classical Course Entered school 1925 Preparing for Dartmouth Track Squad '26 Tennis Squad '26 J L HBHI77 Here we have the only boy in our class who has so many girls that he has to spend days in trying to decide which one to bring to a dance. Wil- liam has yet to painfully learn that no man can serve two sorority sis- ters. Bill's greatest ambition, made of stern stuff, is to be able to write his name W. Charles Morrison instead of William C. He has been brazen enough to try it once-but only once. I hate to see a good man go wrongg early in the year Bill fell under the evil influence of Horr and May and has never been the same since. But nevertheless he is a good fellow and still brushes his teeth regularly, although he should learn to let the women aloneg in fact, his actions in the Strand Theatre in Newburyport necessitated a letter from the mianager- Ilaverhill matrons please take notice. l26l
