T H E M I L E S T O N E CARLOS FERNANDEZ Mexico City, Mexico From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. Scientific Course Entered School in '26 Preparing for New Mexico School of Mines 2nd Team Football '26, '27 Football '28 Basketball '28, '29 Tennis Squad '28, '29 Manager School Store '28 Mex Mex is the mystery at Dummer Academy-naturally. Every school and every class must have its mystery. And who better than Mex for ours. We feel sure that Mex belongs to the reigning house of Mexico-or aren't they having reigns down there now '? And Mex, true to his heritage, is the perfect cosmopolite. He has been everywhere. He knows all the places we would like to know but never shall. His understanding of the gentler sex is characteristic. Mex knows them. He understands them. And they don't understand him. The situa- tion seems to be practically perfect. We are hoping that some day he will publish his memoirs. The sale in and around here should be stupendous. In contrast to this tenderer side of his character, you should see Mex on the football field. His treatment of some of the rising young football stars has been scandalous. Mex was a guard-and I mean, he rms a guard. When Mex tackled someone he didn't need the Book of Knowledge to tell him he had been tackled. On a very muddy field it was Mex's delight to push his opponent's face in the mud and count the bubbles as they came up. You don't think of doves when you first see Mex. And when he puts his cage over his glasses to play basketball, he looks like a nightmare making whoopee. At the gentle art of roughing in a corner, Mex had few equals. We all wish he would go down below and stop the unpleasantness below our border. Mex could. And with the scholastic training acquired in Mr. Prothero's classes, he should be a general in a very short time. Then he would be king and we would all have jobs. I25l

T H E M I L E S T O N E RICHARD HAMMOND MOULTON Lexington, Mass. lt matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are. Classical Course Preparing for Bowdoin College Entered School in '25 Orchestra '27, '28, '29 l larvard'Associate Club Prize '28 Washington Franklin Medal '28 Manager Basketball '27 Golf Squad '26, '27, '28, '29 Business Manager Milestone '29 Denny - Dick Like the Minute Man from his own home town, Dick is always on the job until the last minute of play and never leaves for other fields until he thoroughly cleans up one task to the best of his ability. Scholastic duties, managerial tasks, music, literary and copious letter Writing engage- ments have kept him a busy youth during his years at school. His major industries have been director of phonographic concerts at his room and dis- penser of bon mots through the medium of the minioned messenger of Uncle Sam, although Dick has managed to land on the Honor Roll at times. Although handicapped physically, the Lexington executive has been able to guide through a successful season a basketball team as well as com- pete for the school on the greens of Ould Newbury and neighboring fair- ways. Din, however, always felt that he was given a raw deal on his track work and never received his letter in this department. The current Milestone has been greatly aided by his efforts as a busines manager, which job he has handled with tireless and unseliish effort, which is so characteristic of Denny. I 24 l

T II E M I L E S T O N E EDGAR ALLEN TEMPLE Puente, Cal. Make it thy business to know thy- self, which is the most difficult lesson in the world. Classical Course Entered School in '26 Preparing for Santa Clara University Football Team '26, '27, Captain '28 Basketball '27, '28, Captain '29 Baseball Squad '27 Track Squacl '29 Ciolf Squad '29 President Senior Class Junior Prom Committee '28 X Big Jake Coming events forecast their shadows, and the physical appearance of Bert Temple is heralded with a vocal blast that quite exceeds his summer pals, the roaring sea lions that keep him and his glass bottom dory com- panions in the Catalina Islands. Jake has been one of the mainstays athletically for old Dummer during his three years, and no D A team looked natural without Roaring Jake in the makeup of the South Byfielders. But one smirch sullies the escutcheon of the Jake and his famous Casey will stand out forever in the minds of some of the baseball rooters. As a tooter of the saxaphone and a general dispenser of Whoopee, the name of the noisiest citizen of Puente ever to grace the walls of Dummer will always be connected, but his contribution to the esprit de corps of the school has been of the highest type. Come on, the old ball game! l 26 l
