'I' H E M I L E S T O N E WILLARD SHIEPARD MARTIN Manchester, N. H. - A smile tlml lights the whole round world -Shelly lintcred School in 1929 Classical Course Preparing for University of Pennsylvania Football, '29 Baseball, '30 Sportsmanship Brotherhood, '30 Wee Willie Wee Willie is the class giante-both physically and scholastically. He has achieved a height ot' six feet four inchesg and the honor roll every week this year. Both achieve- ments are unparalleled in the history of Dummer Academy. Willie ambles about in his ponderous way from place to place, unhurried, always smiling, bent merely on achieving more nineties as quietly as possible. He heaves his bulk from room to room, happiest when he is on his way to the Chem Lab.-but happy anyway. Despite being the Commons proctor, his good humor has lasted admirably in the face of obvious difticulties. Together with Hessian and Capron, Willie has made history land Hydrogen Sul- phidej in the Chem. Lab. These three have done things which, with proper publicity, would have made them famous. But we gather that they shun publicity-which is probably wise. ' Willie had for some time the reputation of being immune to the wiles of the gentler sex. But there is about a story, a rumor, a mention of Willie and a rumble seat ..... We have yet to learn what manner of car it is into the rumble seat ot which Willie could stow his Gargantuan frame. And if he were finally collapsed into a rumble seat, where could the girl be? The eyes of many at Penn State will brighten when they observe Wee Willie roll- ing into the Campus. We know that he will achieve there the success that we wish for him. And if he achieves the success of which he is capable, we shall be very proud of him. Come on! Get your lights out, will ya? l?4l

T H E M I L E S T O N E RICHARD HOSMER Sharon None but fools and knaves lay wagers -Anon. Classical Course lintered School in '26 Preparing for West Point fats Treasurer of Class of 1030, '28 Vice-President of Class of 1930, '29, '30 Tennis Team, '27, '28, '29, '30 Captain, '29, '30 Hockey Team, '28, '29, '30 Captain, '29, '30 Baseball Team, '28, '29, '30 Football Team, '20 Editor-in-Chief, The Archon, '30 Editor-in-Chief, The Milestone, '30 Sportsmanship Brotherhood, '30 Junior Prom Committee, '29 Morse Prize, Tennis, singles, '29 Milestone Dance Committee, '30 ffnicke All that Dick is doing now is grieving silently over the debacle of the Boston Bruins: getting up pools on the American League with Mr. Reagan, Mr. Jarvis. and Mr. Nash: running the Archon and the Milestoneg boosting his own batting average on the baseball team: being captain of the tennis teamg preparing for six or eight College Boards, and taking care of Mr. Nash through all manner of crises. Dick speaks of West Point. But we feel that he could not leave behind him the Braves and Red Sox, the Bruins, Sharon, the Cape, Chestnut Hill, Jack Sharkey. Gus Sonnenburg, and points south east. If he goes to West Point, he goes as good-will ambassador from New England, and especially Boston. There is no one so capable of expanding upon the glories of all things New Englandeespecially its beautiful girls. Wherever he goes, we know that Dick will be editor of all the college publications: play on all the teams, take all the coursesg bet on every competitiong and be voted the best natured, best looking, best sportsman, and worst guesser in the college. We want him to know that we love him. For when he owns some baseball teams, manages the Boston Garden, is editor of the Herald and the American, directs a rail- road or two, captains international sport teams, and belongs to all the Clubs we'd like to get into and can't-he'll be a wonderful friend to have. Best of luck, Dick! HI'll give you five to three. . . i231

T H E M I L E S T O N E STUART ARNOLD MCKENZIE Wakefield t'Much may be made of a Scotchmun if he be caught young -Dr. Johnson Entered School in 1925 Classical Course Preparing for Yale junior Prom Committee, '29 Hockey, '28, '20, '30 Baseball, '28, '29, '30 Football, '28 Basketball, '30 Golf, '28, '29, '50 KCMaC7! If silence is golden, here is the poorest man in the country. Were his stature in proportion to his noise, he would be a giant indeed. Mac is small. Mac is tiny. Mac is practically infinitesimal. Yet he has the heart of a lion and voice of a bull. Added to these qualities is a capacity for acting so great that Mac no longer knows which is his real self. His imagination is so vivid that he must exert himself constantly to keep pace with itgand yet he never seems to be weary of chasing it around and around. He imagines himself into a perfect state of love with the greatest ease-for a weekg he imagines desperate ailments whenever he wants a week-end and nearly dies before he reaches the doctorC?Dg he imagines nine- ties in history with complete equanimity. He is the perfect example of the triumph of hope over experience. Despite his lack of brawn, Mac has been one of the mainstays in hockey, basket- ball, and baseball. In odd moments he plays a very fair game of golf. The only reason he cl0esn't play tennis as well is that there is only one of him-which is perhaps just as well for Mac. What would he do if there were another of him about? If Mac succeeds in entering Washington and Lee, the lovely girls of Virginia can look forward to four years of happiness-and Lover, Come Back to Me will achieve a popularity unparalleled. Good luck, Mac! We hope that you will enjoy the years in college as much as you have the years at Dummer. And we shall look to see you achieve even greater renown there. t'Up at Hanover, etc. etc. l25l
