Always striving and working for the good of the school, his natural modesty and retiring disposition would keep him away from the howling mob. Football, baseball, and track victories shared by the school during his three years of participation can find the fine hand of Wally in its inception. Despite severe injuries sustained in football last fall he continued to play the game in a masterly fashion. As a musician in the Dummer Orchestra and assistant dispenser of chicken feed, Wally had a diversion from the heavy diet of studies and athletics. Hope springs eternal in the human breast quoth a famous writer of other days, and the firm faith Wally had in these immortal words bade him turn his footsteps daily to the school post-office without success. Still waters run deep, and who knows but what Wally was waiting during his three years at school to hear from a fair senorita from far out in the open spaces where men are men and the plumbing's rotten. l27l uBe swift to hear, slow to speak,

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.

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

T H E M I L E S T O N E CHARLES ARTHUR FULLER, JR. Mt. Vernon, N. Y. A man cloth not live by breacl only. Scientific Course Entered School in '26 Preparing for Cornell 2nd Team Football '26, '27 Football Team '28 Basketball Team '27, '28, '29 Captain Track '28 Track Team '29 Baseball Team '27, '28, '29 Football Dance Committee '28 Mid-Year Prom Committee '29 Art Editor of the Milestone '29 Circulation Manager of The Archon '29 Charlie Charlie was termed once by a visitor as the nicest boy in the school. You can't hate a boy for that, and as we begin to think it over, we come to the conclusion that the observant stranger perhaps was correct. At any rate, we will compromise by stating that Charles Arthur is perhaps our leading diplomat. Loyalty is one of the young man's leading traits and his test for that is his everlasting allegiance to his former high school team, somewhere in New York. Although they still play football with twelve men on a team up there, Charlie still champions their cause when the fair name of his school is attacked. Fuller is an easy man to get up in the air, not mentally, but physically. At the Harvard Stadium this winter, the name of Fuller went on the roll of honor with other record holders when the running high jump event was concluded. He has blazed the trail for other future Dummer hopes. Versatility and willingness to be of service to the school sums up our young man. Football, track, basketball, baseball, the four major sports at the school, were aided by him and letters in these sports now adorn his many sweaters. Dramatics and social functions in general receive an impetus when the genial Charles gets behind these outside festivities. As an end man in our minstrels or as a host to a charming young lady, at our proms, Fuller leaves nothing to be desired in the way a real Dummer man should comport himself. l28l
