''Jack-at-the-Drums is in most of Dummer's mem-books, and as a drummer, Jack is certainly second to none. That's why he's so speedyg he beats time. The fact that the ladies flock around when he enters testifies to his looks and sheiking ability. The score card on the exterior of his stationery box has grown in magnitude exceeding any other, in school. Besides being on the school orchestra Jack procures orchestras of excellence for Dumgmer's proms. We all wonder how Jack gets all these week-ends. He claims a brok- en arm or something else just as trifling. Anyway, he comes back with re- ports on what a time that arm had. Jack is also one of these athletic butt-fiends. He has been Dum- mer's star right end for two football seasons, high jump man on the track team, and Varsity first baseman. His Smoking Club attendance is very regular, and his Spec prowess is by no means small. He studies under the illusion tlhat the University of Pennslyvania needs bigger and better men from Dummer. Let me see, who do I write tonight? l 19 l

' I ain't seen it . Sometimes We Wonder Whether he has or not, but when he starts his calcium carbonate We realize that Whether fhe has or not there is something in his eye that tells us he'll be a success. Ham is one of the royal tooters of the orchestra. Not only does he play the sax, but he is already to fill in on the piano at any time. His art Work, as can be seen th-rough this book, is 'beyond rep-roach so We Will let it speak for itself. Another of Ham's indoor sports is his ability as a Writer. Not only the Archon but also the Milestone and the Newburyport News would feel his ab-sen-ce were he to withdraw from their service. He has one Weakness though. He always claimed that no girl could steal his heart, but a certain brunette at West Bridgewater' has ke-pt him from eating for sometime.

T H E M I L E S T O N E Wmxrsrc JAMES BUDGELL, 2ND Salem, Mass. The gentle mincl by gentle deeds is known. Classical Course Entered School in '23 Preparing for Harvard Harvard Club Prize '26 Dramatic Club '26, '27 President '26 Treasurer '27 Sophmore Dramatic Committee '25 Gym Class '25, '26, '27 Junior Football '24 Manager Junior Baseball '24 4sBudgesa Ever since Budge landed in school back in the pre-Dramatic Club days, he has been the schoo+l's theatrical directory. His cinema knowledge is prodigious due to intensive study of movie magazines and the like. James staggers home every week from Newburyport with a load of periodicals pertaining to the silver screen that weighs as much as one Saturday Even-A ing Post sometimes. However, he keeps the boys well informed on the best at the Strand and the Premier auditoriums. Budge played football on the Junior Team for two years, and then he took up golf, as the feller says. He is one of John Edwards' most ar- dent and loyal disciples. So far, he has dragged a girl to every dance we can remember. We have often wondered where he gets the women he brings up, for he al- ways supplies some aspiring shieks with very charming shebas. It was rather a shock to us when we returned one fall and found that James had succumbed to the insidious weed, for we think smoking really harmful to the young. But we quite suspect he enjoys it as mudh as we do. The critics didn't like it, and I was disappointed in it myself. I 20 1
