A man of deeds, not Words. Scot sticks to the maxim that silence is goldeng but When he does speak, his Words are of the highest grade silver. Nevertheless, he made himself heard with marvellous success one night. This silent man from Portland has a pet aversion. It is an extreme dislike for mice, rats, and other night roaming ro-dents. Awakened one night by an astonishing scratching at his door, he raised himself and his voice to their highest possible position and heaved shoes into the darkness. Those in the next room might have been able to account for the noise, but not before Soot used up his vocabulary and ammunition. We think it was cruel to leave a poor little mouse out in the cold that way. We all bow to Soot's prowess as a football player. As a halfback, he is second to noneg and he is the terror of th.e opposition as any linesman that has tried to stop him will testify. He captained the team successfully last season and was one of the high lights of the backfield the year before last. So-ot's Work as a goal guard on the hockey squad was excellent this winter, and he is one of the tennis squad's best players. His Spec ability has not been neglected either. But he has one faulty he would smoke Camels. Got anything to eat, Nort? l27l

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

T H E M I L E S T O N E CLASS HISTORY HE graduating class got off to a good start on its scintillating career early in its Freshman year by having the best attended and regulated meetings of any class then in school. Regular dues were imposed on the members that year, and this practice has been kept up during our years at Dummerg so that the treasury has never lacked for funds. In our Sophmore year we started taking the lead in social events around school. The regular meetings were continued, and it was made a duty of the secretary to record these meetingsg so that now We have the only record of its kind in school. Theatre parties were projected through- out the Winter term and became quite popular and Well attended. The Sophmore Minstrel was the only dramatic attempt of importance in the year 1924 to 1925, and the class topped its good Work by putting on the Sophomore Hop, the greatest dance that Dummer has seen in years. Theatre parties were continued throughout our Junior year, and our Junior Prom will long be remembered as one of the best of recent dances. As Seniors We have endeavored to put out a Milestone that will be second to none, and to stage a Senior Prom that will not have 'to be supported by the faculty as it has in previous years. All through the last four years, our men have been leading in all branches of school activities. Our ranks have claimed four major team captains, and the Honor Roll, Student Council, Dramatic Club, Orchestra, and Archon Board have claimed a good proportion of our representatives. R. D. H. '27 N!
