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

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-

T H E M I L E S T O N E H . . ALFRED FERDINAND PADULA Fitchburg, Mass. I have an exposition of sleep come upon me. General Course Entered School in '25 - Preparing for Boston University Senior Dance Committee '27 Football '216 Basketball '27 Golf Squad '26, '27 Smoking' Club '27 Billy Spinosaf' What God hath wrought let no man put asunder, quoth the sage. There certainly must have been some divine force in connection with the creation of Spinosa and his bed. When they get together, it takes a good man indeed to part them, and it requires the utmost tact and diplo- macy in so doing. The seven-ten bell is the be-st bet when it comes to rous- ing Billy , but sometimes this persistent caller fails to land him in the dining room on time. However, the aforesaid bell certainly isn't humang ask any member of Commons. T'hey all believe it to be an instrument of the devil. Spinos is anchor man on the office force, and his work as one of the Four Horsemen is one of the high lights of the Stenography class. He has been also a fine guard on both the footfall and 'basketball teams. In one of the basketball games, Spinosa reverted to the football type, plowed through the opposing forwards, and split the net from the middle of the floor. This almost prostrated the right honorable Dean Phillip B. Skerrye, who has never been the same since. Spinos hails from Fitchburg, where men are truck drivers and the hills are terrible. He is a Spec-player par excellence, and the D. S. C. has no more ardent supporter. Aw, why is there always a class meeting just when I want to go over to the club ? l24l
