Nort ran quite a restaurant in the Commons for a While. His sign, if he had one might read, Nothing served before lights out. We all used to visit him when hungry, until his playful habit of blowing out fuses put the powers that be on to Mr. Pickering's lit- tle plan of sustaining the starved until the next meal. Nort came back from spring vacation with his head way up in a cloud. It seems he met someone ffemininej who was quite pleasing to the eye. He tries to Write faithfully, and the boys do their best to keep him out of the blues when she's a day late in answeringg but it looks like a case of thinner atmosphere for Nort for some time to come. Nort hu1't his ankle in the early days of the football seasong and al- though it put him off the big team, it couldn't prevent him from playing With the little boys. He took the Junior team, which was badly in need of a coach, and made it what it was last fall. We hope he was satisfiedg the results were certainly gratifying. Nort is another D. S. C. Spec expert, and butt fiend with his choice resting on Lucky Strikes. Another good man gone wrong say the other members of that troublesome institution. I've got to crash one tonight. I 25 l

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

T H E M I L E S T O N E HENRY BOURNE PILLSBURY Manchester, N. H. Here will be an old abusing of God's patience and the Ki'ng's Eng- lish. Scientific Course Entered School in '25 . Preparing for Yale Dramatic Club 27 7 Football Squad '25 Basketball '26, '27 Captain '27 Baseball '26, '27 Golf Slquad '26 Smoking' Club '27 UPH77 H. Bourne, the class ladies man. l Pil knocks them all dead when he gets on the dance floor. For the way he trips tlhe light fantastic is his supreme creation in the two years he has been here. Tlhe way he saves shoe leather on the dance floor is reallylamazing. Slow but sweet, says he, and he surely ought to know. Pil also drives a Cadillac one-handed remarkably well, too-. However slow and stationary he may be when a dance is in progress, Pil can certainly show what speed and fight are when the gym performs its regular function as a basketball court. Dumlmer has had no better captain and guard than Pil for a long time. This year 'under his leader- ship the team had its best season in four years. Pil is all-so convinced that he can put over the old big league stuff better than any of them. His cheerfulness is a bywordg it is rare indeed when one lfinds him downhearted. He is a loyal member of the Smoking Club, 'but 'he stoops to Lucky Strikes when the majority of that hardened institution are strong for Fatimas. Say, Ham, you ain't seen it? l 26 l
