Fits started out some years ago in A Company, then forgot to come back for a year and when he returned last fall, he wandered into Hadley and settled down to really work under Brad's eagle eye. While we must confess that we never were around when the working was going on,, it must have happened because when Commencement came, there was Fits , all slicked up like a new dollar bill, waiting for his sheepskin. Fits' favorite prof was Cy Spawn and he used to even visit the latter in his room on cold evenings when tney would sit cosily around the table and discuss the manner in which English should be taught, fand learned lj. He slept more comfortably on his bunk than in a recitation room, but not much more so. Everybody liked him and we are glad to hear that he is seriously considering coming back for another dreamy year on the Hill. Maybe he'll try out C Company this time. 3:3 AARON VAIL FROST-iiPh06b6 New York City Huntington Literary Society. Honorary R.L.S.

Romeo had nothing on Phoebe because Romeo never dolled up in Bedford cords and boots. Did you ever watch him knock them dead at the hops? And with all there was on his mind his devotion to Baltimore never faltered an instant. There were few dull moments when Phoebe was around, when he and the Nigger got together they had Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor stopped. A devoted student of geometry, he took an occasional side-swipe at the other subjects also but it was enough to keep him out of the School Room and in the good graces of the Academic Board. In parting with him we must say that we shall miss him desperately and we wish him con- tinued good luck in his bouts with the Pawn Shop.

When Big Pete blew in last fall the attendance of the Fiol family at Manlius was made unanimous. He had four years at Mohegan Lake before he came here and had already learned the rudiments of foot- ball so lit took him in hand and before the season was over he was tearing up our opponents' lines with Latin-American ferocity. His size and strength made him a welcome addition to D Company where the human mule has so much opportunity to show his stuff. Lazy, cheerful and good-natured, the big Cubano has lumbered through the days work with the best of them and departs towards Columbia in a cloud of good wishes and friendly appreciation. 15555 RAFAEL ANGEL F1oL-' 'Raphyu Santiago de Cuba Private Company D , '23-'24: Corporal, '24-'25, Sergeant, '25-'26g Soccer Team, '23-'24-'25g Track Team, '23-'24g Rifle Team, '24-'25, Fencing Team, '25-'26, D Co.

Es bueno este mozalbillo, y no quiero decir quizal Es guapo, garrido, dadivoso, elegante, distinguido, inteligente y soldadescol And be- sides all that, if you know what we mean, he's a cracking good scout, a Warm friend, a brilliant student, a dandy athlete, a pulse quickening sheik and an honor and credit to the Class and the School. We don't wish to be fulsome but we have difficulty in properly stating in other than fulsome terms our appreciation of this shining light. Cuba, Libre has sent us many nne comrades and we hope that more are on the way like Raphy. He goes hence to Yale where we shall Watch his continued success with pride and satisfaction.

Winner of the Kallett Sportsmanship Trophy, '25- '26 Chis has been perhaps the outstanding athlete which the School produced during the past year, playing stellar baseball, football and basketball. His invariable modesty, good sportsmanship and general good fellowship won for him the Kallett Cup. His award of the Military Merit Badge three times during his guppie year proved conclusively that he is a soldier as well as an athlete and his unswerv- ing attention to duty, fairness and general popularity with his com- rades made him a brilliant name among us. Manlius can use more men like Frye at any time and we shall always be proud to have served with him during his short career with 115. fidtiv ROBERT FREEMAN GEORGE?iiB0b,' Bradford, Pa. Adelphi.

Bob has been a happy combination of centaur and merman during his two brilliant years in our midst. On a horse's back or in the pool, he is both happy and expert and once in a long, long while he gets so interested in equitation or natation that the Academic Depart- ment nnds it necessary to send him for a visit to Spook Heffron's evening entertainment in the Big Cell. Drill he finds one of the necessary evils of an otherwise comfortable life, but like most deter- mined fellows, he gets thru with it and then makes a bee-line for Fout's establishment down below, He talks of Princeton next year, but we have an idea that we shall see him in some line in which a horse is a necessary adjunct,-maybe a State Policeman. Whatever it is, he will adorn the place and carry with him the good luck wishes of his classmates.
