Ps 1 9 3 3 4 HAWKEN SCHOOLS PS niet JAMES LINCOLN SOPHOMORE GRAY Football 9, 10; Basketball 9, 10; Players Club 10; Committees: House (Chairman). IM is the only member of the senior class who can properly be called a woman-hater, ‘though we couldn’t vouch that it’s mutt°l with the ladies. Throughout his four year stay at Hawken he has been a veritable power in athletics, especially in football. Outside of athletics Jimmy’s big interest in school is steering the stage committee. We don’t say this to everyone, but it is our personal opinion that Jim enjoys being chairman of the stage committee, more because he is allowed to climb in the loft, than because this job pleases his ar- tistic sense . Jimmy is probably the best-liked boy in Hawken. His infectious smile wins him friends at first sight, and his unusual characteristics retain and strengthen these friendships. But before we close this sketch, Jimmy, how about these rumors that are whispered around concerning you breaking up parties by the usage of those very properly named “S B ee Not that we believe them! Jim is the school’s largest consumer. Even on Fridays when the rest of the table refuses “seconds” in fish, we always hear the dulcet tones coming, “Yes, Mr. Holmes.” Well, Jim, next year when you are at some other institution, good luck, boy. But think of us occasionally for it will be awful lonesome to look and see one potato remaining in the dish and realize that you're no longer with us. Thirteen

Pete is known because of four qualities. Primarily he is noted for his ability on the football field. He was the star end of this year’s team, playing in all games, and accounting for many points in the season’s total. Secondly he is known for his basketball perfection. He CAN play basketball, captaining the team to a very successful season. Pete accounted for an average of 15 points per game and in the total scoring he topped his nearest opponent by 100 points. Next he is noted for his “throwing the bull.” And, gentle reader, how much bull he does throw! The stories that go around school after an exciting week-end would make Ananias hide his face in shame. And last, but far from being least, is his desire for the companionship of the fairer sex. In accordance with his actions and statements his motto might be: “Anything that wears skirts.” He matches experiences. with Vilas and other weak-minds, and gives advice to the young and inexperienced. Tis murmured about that in comparison with Peter, Clark Gable is a piker! There is one unsolved mystery about Pete: where is he when one calls him on the telephone and receives the reply that he is “down at the library.” Be all this as it may, he really is not such a bad guy, and when he receives his honorable dis- charge from Hawken, we will lose not only an outstanding athlete, but a boy whose prepossessing characteristics will undoubtedly lead him to a brilliant future. Good luck, Pete! Ae here, gentle reader, is none other than that notable figure, Peter Hallaran. Gaze upon Twelve

DIXON MORGAN SOPHOMORE RED President Football 10; Basketball 10; Baseball 8, 9, 10; Secretary of the Student Assembly 10; Ex- ecutive Committee of the Student Assembly 10; Players Club 10; Year Book Board (Business Manager) 10; Newspaper Board (Supervising Editor) 10. ERE, folks, we have the beatific visage of Dixon, alias “Romeo,” Morgan. This lad is un- doubtedly the Beau Brummel of the class, the glass of fashion and the mould of form, al- Ways sartorial, immaculate and, except in certain (but notable) instances, correct. In fact he admits that he is not so much better than the Prince of Wales. To him also belongs the dubious distinction of being a charter member of the infamous Order of the Spat and Derby, his associates —Vilas and Wilson. Being the kind of fellow who looks as though he needed a little female protection (see cut above) girls simply dote on him. Always accustomed to service (even to muss- ing his hair) Dixon accepts this condition as his natural prerogative. At parties he is invariably called upon to play (?) the piano, whereupon, after properly modest objections, he sits down and proceeds to mutilate the latest numbers in his repertoire, as well as to render sundry vile pieces of his own composition, some of them more than slightly reminiscent of last year’s hits. But joking aside, Dick has been quite successful in baseball, basketball, and track. In many major school activities he has taken a conspicuous part, having played an important réle in Wap- pin’ Wharf and bore up nobly under the burden of the Assembly minutes. Though ’tis rumored that the meetings often had to be postponed because the Secretary had omitted his duties. 5 ; C545 As he departs from the great educational scene, next year’s class may well shake their heads, sigh with envy (possibly relief) and exclaim, “Sic transit gloria mundi”—‘“Thus passes the glory of the world.” Fourteen
