Note that perfect permanent wave, that noble forehead, classic Calmostj nose and those soulful eyes, fthe one you can't see is just as soulful as the one you do seej. Is it any wonder that Curley's P. O. box is choked each morning with fragrant missives from Utica, Carthage and points north and east? Curley's virtues are not all those of personal appearance,-far from it! We enjoyed his toodling on the various horns that he played so sweetly,-all except the time he carelessly sounded reveille one hour too soon and nineteen of us missed him with missiles which ranged from marching shoes to boot- jacks! When he finished a recitation in Economics Casey used to look at the rest of us as though to say, A'Why can't you dumb-bells recite like that? Curley went the entire winter term without a single demerit, either his system was good or he was,-we hesitate to say which. A good scout anyhow and we forward him to the U. of P. with entire confidence in his continued success. 155551 JAMES ROBERT DAVEY- Bob Amsterdam, N. Y. Private, Company B , '25-'26g Baseball Team, '26g Co. Soccer, '25, Co. Basketball, '25-'26, Military Merit Badgeg Athletic Merit Badge. Up from Amsterdam last fall came lanky Bob to Manlius, to learn to be a soldier brave and prepare for R.P.I. He did both quite handily and in addition he played some excellent baseball and some not quite so excellent basketball and soccer. He averaged 822, in academic work for his year and got soaked with only 44 demerits, slept like a log, ate like a horse and generally ambled good-naturedly through his happy-go-lucky existence as a kaydet, making heaps of friends, liking it all and being liked by all. He took a last minute exam in Spanish III on Commencement morning, but Shucksl, any- one can get through Spanish III and sure enough, Bob was in his place under the platform at the afternoon obsequies and carried off his sheepskin with the rest of us. Here's hoping we meet up with him again, we knew him all too short a time.

The Lunger is a living proof that by the constant and faithful use of Palmolive Soap one can Keep that school-girl complexion . We have often accused him of touching it up a bit himself,-it was almost too perfect. Cheerful, jolly, goodnatured and lazy, he never appeared to work but always managed to get things done. Beating the School- room was the easiest thing he did and in three long years Spook never caught him but once. The Company never ceased to con- gratulate him on his lucky draw which gave them first place in the chow-line on that chilly April hike this year. He likes to hear that lovely drawl which the Southern ladies use when springing their line so the University of Virginia will have the pleasure of his company henceforth. The heartiest good wishes of the Class follow him thither. . MAURICE JAMES CoLL1Ns- Ears Wlnncie, I ndiana Private, Headquarters Company QBandD '23-'24, Corporal, '24-'25, Warrant Officer, '25-'26.

Famous was Ears for his extreme temperamentalism, radicalism, anarchical tendencies and generally as a soap-box orator. In all affairs relating to Corps entertainment he was important and indis- pensable. Well known in horse-racing circles Cbelieved to be im- aginary by the Corpsj. His favorite amusement was razzing either Charlie Hill or Lew Tarbox, his toughest task was trying to persuade the Headmaster that he had more credits than the books would show. fHe got away with that job too.D A popular and likable com- rade, he has been one of the mainstays of the Band for three good years. He goes hence for another romp with Al Sweet and he ciagries with him a basketful of good luck wishes from the Class of

Quietly working his way steadily upward he completed his school career as Top-Kick of B Company, perhaps not as hard-boiled as a Top Kicker often is but thoroughly efficient in his own way of making ends meet. Each autumn, after spending the summer either at a C.M.T. camp or working his way over to Yurrup he brought back new ideas to Hadley Hall. Having the family failing for Cartooning he drew some clever sketches which threw new light on the life about these classic confines. Although perhaps his toughest task was that of being Big Brother to the three little Days, his experience in handling B Company will probably fit him to carry on the job successfully. We know that only good things are in store for him and we part with him with genuine regret. .fffitif DUDLEY MINTON DAY- Dad Chatham, N. J.

His artistic abilities have done much to enliven the pages of the Wind Mill and to decorate this edition of the Haversack. He has a keen sense of humor and is never so happy as when pointing out with his drawing pen, the foibles and eccentricities of us his comrades or the innum- erable funny things about life in general as a kaydet. His natural element however is the agua pumx as supplied in the tank in the basement of the gym. His swimming and graceful diving have furnished the natatorial teams with many points. He has made a firm friend of every classmate and if good wishes are of any help, he will need little else for future success. 'And generally Fria. K Page 27
