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.

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

He had a tough struggle with the old soak-book his first year but later he got the hang ofa system and things went smoothly. Famous for his cheerful disposition he could usually see the bright side of life except when occasionally there was a delayed letter in the mails now and then. A good athlete, a good soldier, a fair student and a prince of good fellows,-what more could be asked of him? iid ALBERT NEWHALL FARNHAM-'tDusty Portland, Blaine Huntington Literary Society.

Dusty would like to go to Dartmouth and we are happy to announce that he is coming back to Manlius next year to polish up a few slightly worn credits before presenting them to the stern admission commit- tees at Hanover. We shall be glad to know that he is again available for the sports in which he does such excellent work and we are con- fident that his coming bout with the academic department will result in complete victory for him. His personal appearance is de- cidedly ornamental and his capacities are only limited by a healthy aversion for our w.k. enemies the text-books. He has solemnly announced that next year they are to be his bosom friends and com- panions and he don't mean maybe! Well, now that we are through with them ourselves we are willing to sit back and watch his smoke. Go to it Dusty, you're the lucky one, with another good year on the old Hill coming to you!
