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

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.

Vance is a shining example of that all-too-numerous a body of good men who discover Manlius too late to achieve the full glory of the career at School which their abilities warrant. In the one short year that he has been with us he has made a brilliant record in athletics, class-room and on the drill Held. Modest, popular and soldierly he met every requirement of Manlius traditions and regulations and made for himself a crowd of warm admirers and friends. Not the least of his triumphs was the desperate struggle with our old enemy Intermediate Algebra but like all the rest of his struggles this too ended in victory with honor. Vance is headed for Colgate and we shall see him and hear of him again when he dons the maroon down Hamilton way. Qitif FRANCIS ARTHUR DEMEREE- Mike Harpursville, New York Adelphi.

Camp Contingent, '26, Marksman CCourse MDN, ,26- Mike joined us at the tender age of 13, having journeyed all the long way from Harpursville Edown in Broome County on the good old Southern Tier . After he had become sufficiently sophisticated ' to use the Suburban trolley without displaying nervousness he settled down in V.H. and started out on what was to prove a long and gorgeous career. The first year he won a Phoenix for high scholastic l standing, then he set his heart on a Major M and finally got it by managing a Penn Tourney champion team. Feeling that his style was cramped down below he migrated to the Hill and took over the job of top-sergeanting in Hadley Hall. Then he became one of Bickie's looeys , a task more suited to his suave and pleasant manner. Black Eyes never lie fits Mike to perfection. His vision is clearest when directed on the w.k. opposite sex. We formally warn all the shieks on the Southern Tier that they will have a formidable competitor next year when Mike enters the lists down that way. At work or play he has only to carry on as he has here and the golden apple of success will fall in his neatly tailored lap.
