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-

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 IC I,EoNArm STUART I.AWsoN Brookline, Mass. My mind to mc a lclfngdom is. Classical Course Entered School in '24 Preparing for Williams Dramatic Club '26 Football Manager '25 Track Manager '26 Associate Editor of the Milestone Golf Squad '26, '27 acLeNnar The answer to a maiden's prayer. This boy has long been trying with more or less success to cut out all the old time shieks in Newburyport dur- ing his three year sojourn at Dummer. Feminine hearts are, he tells us, supposed to yearn and sigh as he comes into sight. But whether the fem- inine reaction to his manly countenance is as above or not, it stands to reason that Len not infrequently takes a tumble to himself. He has at terrible time deciding who to bring to the dances, but his affiliation to a little brunette from Salem has been quite lasting, in spite of all Newbury- port interference. Len is one of Dummer's athletes. He has distinguished himself as the manager of several teams and as a peerless gymnast. His technique in skipping the gym class has always been envied and imitated. But Len is in a class by himself when it comes to managing teams. Len has also a studious bent when he isn't in love. The women, however, have a way of distracting him once in a while. Len's chief pride and joy is his Victrola. Won ina raffle, it has withstood the on- slaught of Dummer's hordes for almost three years with the cost of only two broken springs. There is the important question of whether it will last him through college, and this is indeed a grave one. What? No mail for me? Are you sure of it ? i231
