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

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

T H E M I L E S T O N E WARREN SPENCER LANE West Newton, Mass. From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. Classical Course Entered School in '25 Preparing for Bowdoin Dramatic Club '26, '27 Orchestra '26, '27 Football '26 Hockey ,Squad '26 Baseball Squad '26 Student Council '27 stone Secretary of Dramatic Club '27 Smoking Club '27 Warren The most cheerful and noisest youth Dummer has seen for some time. Indeed, one will have to look high and wide to find one as cheerful as War- ren. But it was Warren's fond belief that he plays the saxophone. So he does-no worse than anyone else in school. Warren has the form for a really hot player, but the sounds are sometimes rather misgiving. Never- theless, he has held a position on the orchestra during his two years at Dummer, although it was quite hard on the members of Perkins Hall during the time he roomed over there. Warren also has a very complete and terrifying laugh which he exhib- it on choice occasions. It starts out with Warren's imitating a cocktail shaker on a laughing -jag, then rises to hyena-like proportions, and finally fades away into shrill screams. It is truly a marvellous creation, and War- ren takes good care of it. He also takes good care of his relations with a girl in Wlinchester, and he drags her to all the dances he can. Warren has been out for football both years he has been here, and last season he was a very good tackle. He is a. loyal Smoking Club devotee, plays Spec to perfection, and is cheerful almost beyond the imagination. But that sax-. It, too, is almost beyond imagination. Well, We went pretty hot today. l22l Circulation Manager of the Mile-
