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

''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

T H E M I L E S T O N li THOMAS As'r1.EY Fi':AicNsIni: Wellesley, Mass. ing Iilfcwisc. Scientific Course Entered School in '24 Preparing for M. I. T. Contest '26 Senior Prom Committee '27 Hockey '26 '27 Golf '26, '27 Junior Football '25, '26 Junior Basketball '25 l6Tam7! The boy with that school girl complexioni We don't know whether Palmolive is used to preserve itg but there itl stands, a monument to his manly beauty and physical perfection. Throughout 'his career as a pugil- ist, his rugged complexion has stood the gaff, although his eye did not come out unscatched in the bout with the late Mr. Albiani. Tam comes from Wellesly, and he 'has no use for the femmes. There was once a rumor that there was a certain dear someone waiting in Welles- lyg but with a few quiet and Well chosen words, Tam drove fear into the hearts of those who were Whispering. Tam has not yet left the woman- hater gallery at the proms. He has been a hockey player of promise since his advent into our ranks. He has also adorned the golf team and has been number two man on it for two years. Someone taught him Spec last fall, and Tam has been an ardent advocate of the game since. And Woe to the man who tries to put one over on him. Thomas is really sinfully neat in all his Work. The beauty of his Writ- ten papers is the wonder of the whole school, and the ease with which he acquires A's and B's on his report is a strong argument against the D. S. C., that haven for Lady Nicotine. Say, what are you doing with that ace on the bottom? l 21 l ll'cdd1'ng is destiny, and hang!- 2nd Prize Ambrose Prize Speaking
