Yes, there's no second to Buster, as he is known affectionately at Theta Delt, for his wide selection of females who have at one time or another dated him throughout his Hamilton career. . Buster has always been a conscientious worker, having achieved the position of House Manager by the end of his Sophomore year. In Cristian kindness, to all and every one, it's certainly difficult to find one to match him. A Of course, as happens to anyone, but especially to our friend Bus, there seem to be more than the usual occasions for a good time , and the entire house gets their fill of laughter with him. Buster, as well as his twelve gallon-to-the-mile hoodmobile , will be hard to replace. JAMES PEIRCE BROWN Lambda Chr Alpha Newtown C onnectzcnt Lacrosse 1, 2, 3, 4, Spectator 1, 2. After a slow start in the potato bin, Jim steamrolled his way to the Presidency via Skidmore, three years of Lacrosse, supporting intra-murals, and the Koffee Club An ever-present inclination to party has placed the inventor of the sour Sour Cwith a kickj in the unfortunate position of trying to explain to Ellen that he really works at college when she calls him at the Inn. Persuaded not to go to Law School, Captain Queeg now plans a June wedding and the easiest possible job in the Navy. ERWIN THURSTON BROWNE Emerson Literary Society Waterville New York McKinney Prize Speaking 2, Hamiltonian 3, 4, International Relations Club 1, 25 Biology Club 1, Friday Club 5, 4. Finally deciding -that weekends on the Hill possessed more subtle attractions than the garden spot of New York State, the white hope of Watewille has whizzed through his studies at Hamilton with no small measure of success and cunning. After completing his language requirement in one year he branched out into the educational field, proving himself a capable practice teacher as well as a mingler among the female townies. PIERRE HUNTLEY BROWNELL Spanish Club 3, 4. sails off on the voyage of life, guided only by the words Carpe Diem 27 Garden City New York Having at an early age read a Hemingway novel, Pete has, in all ways tried to emulate his favorite hero, Jake Barnes. Two summers at sea have given him the necessary sunburn and swagger, along with the essential alcoholic aura, acquired in gin joints in Mozambique Frenezique, Martinique, and Utica. Ther only' blot on his blissful boyhood has been his inability to find a Hemingway heroine to love in his hero's inimitable way And so Pete

WALTER SMITH BARTON, jr. Chi Psi Whitefield New Hampshire Camera Club 1, 2 Walt, the larger of the Bobbsey Twins, came to Hamilton with a weakness for Moxie's, and a natural antipathy for all stewards. With a predilection for Teenies and a good joke, Wally guffawed his way through college to become prominent in house politics and influence -many freshmen. Whitefield's Pony Express rider excelled in Art, Psych, and all forms of literature to graduate a well rounded Ham Coll man . Now off into the wide Womb of uncreated ni ht his absence will be sorel missed for few have the good humor, 8 Y s understanding, and loyalty to his friends that Walt possesses. RICHARD WOODRUFF BEGLIN A sigma Phi Elizabenb ' N ew Ierfey Spectator 2, 3, Charlatans 5, 4, Choir 1, 2, 3, 4, TGITLNBV Club. After spending his first year at Hamilton under the wing, John made for the woodwork to better accomplish his psuedo-intellectual artsy-craftsy ambitions. Finding his library dormitory bill excessively high, R. Boo Boo successfully transported the Lit stacks to the Sig House. With his merit badges in bird-dogging pinned to his Yale uniform, and with his press clippings as the triple-threat star of the Beta Bombers football team, clutched tightly in his sweaty little palm, Tracks is New Haven bound to follow in the footsteps of his Great White Father. - EDWARD JAQUELIN BENNETT Sigma Phi Carmel Indiana Squash 4, TGITLNBV Club . He barks at the moon in an unusual Indiana monotone. Striving to earn the title as the most zealous gendarme in the annals of the Sigma Phi, Stack, with right hand flapping, has been a constant fixture as chief hall patroller and sidewalk superintendent of the Beta. THIS IS RIGHT? His lighted compass must have led him to an abundance of sensual women as his ears indicate. THIS IS RATIONAL? Graduating from Hamilton the Carmel Craftsman heads for Busy school to learn to put the pot belly back in the stove business. THIS IS GOOD? End of story. STEPHEN BURROWS BRAISTED Jr. Lambda Chi Alpha Garden City New York Choir 2, 3, 4. Upon reaching Hamilton the puzzled possessor of a most frightening outlook toward life, death and assorted subjects, Steve proved equal to the task of negotiating his college career without the aid of white bucks. What with various more or less protracted excursions with firecrackers, darts, handstanding, choir, and three Stevemobiles , he pursued that elusive thing called education with an appalling lack of concentration and reverence broken only by repeated entreaties to the brothers to forays to the Inn. Many attempts to transfer the Library to his room have failed to break down his original ideas, they have only added to them, sad to relate, and he departs a philosopher into a world 'of barbarians. 26

G.S.B. Hamilton's latest edition in a long line of Burke progeny, has managed over his four years on the Hill to infect acquaintances from Pettybone to Wilder, from the Lodge to the Mid Ocean Club with the Art of Being Casual , or as he paraphrases his idol, Stephen Potter, How to be Shoe withou-t actually trying. Burke, whose nature is disposed to live in divided and distinguished worlds, has compiled a singularly impressive record in academics, athletics, and house politics., ' HARLAN DANA CALKINS Delta Upsilon Rocfaerter New York D.

His scientific curiosity satisfied, he proceeded to become one of the most versatile and active students on campus. Although he called his home the Gymnasium and Mox Weber his foster father, he left an indelible mark on the DU House. Analyzed by his brothers as having one of the general characteristics of a simple schizo-always appearing preoccupied, Harlan spent more time making charts on when to study, than studying. ROBERT MATHEW CARDILLO Emerson Literary Society Bayside New York Football 2, 33 I. V. Football 1. It was not until his senior year that the Rock achieved acclaim for perfecting the miserable times that have plagued E. L. S. for the past four years. One of the last in a line of honorable drinking cronies which included Wishey Sauer and Dick Wheeler, Bob's quest for a good party led him to such dismal and distant places as Hartwick and Montreal, only to have the crow accompany his expeditions and doom them to failure. An honor student, philosopher, and scientist extraordinaire, he was also Grand Master of the repartee at E. Hall--notwithstanding his Brooklyn accent.

The little man of the.,,Second Floor Steering Committee-Boss Chapman-met his match in only two things while at Hamilton, letter writing and French. The few spare minutes between bull sessions were sometimes spent in studying, but -usually as liason officer between the rest of the house and the not to be under-estimated chef of the Alpha Delts.
