'l' 1 l E lVI I I i E S 'l' 0 N IC HAROLD ALFKICD SLATER Pine Brush, New York Scientific Course Entered school 1925 Preparing for New York Univei sity HI-121179 This is the boy who made Steinmetz die of a broken heart. Everything electrical, or anything electrical, lights, door-bells, radios and curling irons are as simple to him as he is to us. He has his room wired with burglar alarms, electric mouse-traps, magnetic fly seducers and, towering over everything a bottle filled, not with stove-blacking, but the enemy of that insidious thing that makes your best friend a total flop. As an athlete Hal was content to be an interested observer of us lesser and more low-brow mortals. He did occasionally favor the gym class with his presence, but otherwise was content to rest on his laurels. He has preserved that school-girl complexion wonderfully, but his chief pride and joy is his hair, always smoothly combed, and reflecting the sunlight. Usually there is a fly or two who have skidded and broken their wings, or a layer of dust such as one sees on varnished tables. But he is a good boy, really reads the Bible every night, and writes to his blonde mama every day. f igme day we expect to hear great things of him-some day-not very ar 0 . l27l

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

T H E M I L E S T O N E RALPH EMERTON SLEEPER Rowley, Mass. Scientific Course Entered school 1921 Preparing for New Hampshire State Baseball '24, '25, '26 usleepyn This generation of Dummerites will always remember Ralph Sleeper as the little boy who went around with needles in the toes of his shoes for use on one's posterior extremity in classes. He used to be full of such playful and highly entertaining, as well as elevating, tricks until after the Junior Prom when a subtle change was noticeable. His hair was neatly combedg his shoes were neatly polishedg he began to carry a finger-nail file. In the spring a young man's fancy often turns to . . . etc. Still we can hardly think this of our star left-fielder, but evidently it is the sad, sad, bitter truth. l28l
