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

T H E M I L E S T O N E WALTER PAUL TEMPLE, jR. Puente, Cal. slow to wrath. Classical Course Entered School in '26 Preparing for Santa Clara University Football Team, '26, '27, '28 Basketball Squad, '27, '29 Track Team, '28, Captain '29 Baseball Team, '27, '28, Captain '29 junior Prom Committee, '28 V if Jar xr., E r.,il7JK ii ' Wally Some people may be in a community for a century without their pres- ence ever being detected, and Wally comes under that group. 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 H E M I L E S T O N E ROBERT GILES DOWLINC Hyannis, Mass. Be not careless in deeds, nor conf fused in words, nor rambling in thought. Scientific Course Entered School in '28 . Preparing for Bowdoin Football Team '28 Basketball Team '29 Baseball Team '29 Hockey Squad '29 Bob A young man of actions-not words. Dowling is a willing worker, tries hard, improves, and in the end, is one of the best. Although a new boy, the transition from the cape in the south to the cape in the north has been simple through his tact, graciousness, and indus- try. Immediately on being thrust in on a squad of veterans he applied him- self diligently and earnestly, and when the football season was completed with success, Bob was one of the leading factors in the turning out of a successful team. He was troubled with a mild case of girlitis which caused frequent trips to the telephone, and Dame Rumor has it that he cut his Spring vaca- tion short a day in order to apply himself in the role of the heavy. He neither confirms nor denies the rumor, however. But whatever he does, he does well, and we trust that he will round out his year scholastically, socially, and athletically in the fitting manner that has characterized his start. Our only regret is that he has but one year to give to old Dummer. l29l
