T H Ii M I L E S T O N E ss ,nr GRAY WILDER ADAMS Newbury True eloquence consists of saying all that ii proper and nothing mme -White Classical Course Entered School in 1927 Third Prize Ambrose Speaking Contest, '28 Gray In every class there is one who, sure of his destiny, goes on his appointed way quietly, surely, untouched by the doubts of ordinary men. Gray is one of those. He comes to his classes in the morning, recites quietly and thoroughly, listens attentively to the words of his instructors, and departs with his allotment of books for the next day's work. Gray brings with him an air of rehnement, of culture, of quiet scholarship, which arouses the respect of his classmates and is an inspiration to his teachers. We think he will not be found in the turmoil and strife of the workaday business world. He will rather seek to live his life in an atmosphere of quiet beauty, of peace and contentment, among people whom he knows and understands. And he will gather about him friends who, like himself, ask nothing more of life than that they be allowed to live it beauti- fully. We wonder if -this is not Gray's creed: USO live that each day shall be an ad- venture: that each morning shall bring a sense of expectancy, of hope, of faith, that each night you may have the happiness of achievement, the joy of friendships strengthened. Let no day pass without giving your heart and mind and soul an experience worthy of them. Take time to lift your eyes to the hills. Listen to the songs of birds. Look for the evening star. Strengthen your faith, enlarge your hopes, glorify your dreamsfl We have an abiding respect for Gray. And we Wish him the happiness and con- tentment which he deserves. l13l

T H E M I L E S T O N E EDWARDO RAYMO ALMEYDA Havana, Cuba The very hairs of your head are all numbered -New Testament Entered School in 1927 Business Course Assistant Business Manager of the Archon, iKEdH U A177 Al is the last of a long line of Cuban ambassadors, to Dummer Academy. And he is in every sense an ambassador. In him are combined a charm of manner, an un- failing courtesy, a gentleness of speech that have made a deep and lasting impression upon those who have known him. We hope that he will send others to fill his place, to bring to us news of him, to send to him our hopes and best wishes. Under Al's influence the commercial department has assumed a new dignity, an air of eclat. He has led the class through the No Man's Land of shorthand, the Ar- gonne of book-keeping, the entanglements of Arithmetic. He has bolstered the falter- ing courage of his classmates with his humor. He has brought his men each day from the rest camps in Newburyport to the front at Dummer month after month without a casualty. To Mr. Reagan, Chief of Staff of the Intelligence Bureau, Al has been a tower of strength in all crises. And crises are frequent with temperamental typewriters and figures running amuck in the book-keeping room. We feel sure that a fair Senorita awaits Al in Cuba. She has waited long-but Al is vastly worth waiting for. He will take with him our faith in his destiny and our heartfelt wishes for his success. I tell you, boy, she ees a beaut! l19l
