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

'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 MORTON BLACK RAE West Newton I Ulf he really thinks there is no distinction between virtue and vice, why, Sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons -Dr. Johnson Entered School in 1920 3 Classical Course Hockey, '30 Baseball, '30 Golf. '30 Circulation Manager of the Milestone, '30 Mort Mort is one of those unfortunate individuals whose intentions are always being misunderstood. Either that. or his intentions are only too well understood. Instinc- tively people regard him with suspicion. To our shame we must admit that we, too, were similarly affected. When we tirst saw him, we placed one hand upon our loose change and the other on our watch. Now such conduct on our part was. of course. a grave injustice. just because Mort looks the way he does is positively no adequate reason for such treatment. If some of us were judged by our looks, where would we be? Despite the fact that Mort played bravely and well on the hockey team, leaped about the basketball floor. and is now engaged in playing both baseball and golf land Mort's victory in the Andover match was the deciding point in our victoryjg despite his arduous t?J pursuit of History. English. and Spanish-Mort suddenly found him- self sent from the sacred confines of the Commons to durance vile in Peirce Hall. Oh, loathsome spot! Life is full of sorrow. With Bunny. Mort spreads discord and dissension, tumult and chaos, around Brookline, Crow Point. and way stations. We are as yet unable to decide whether Bunny leads Mort astray or vice versa. The only facts in the matter are that they are both astray much of the time-definitely and completelyg that they have a natural talent for crises: that they go roaring about in a terrible Lincoln disregarding life and limb: and that they will come to no good end unless they separate. Despite this forbidding reputation we feel sure that, barring the long arm of the law. they will succeed enormously. Such people always do. And our hopes and pray- ers will go with them both. i261
