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.

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.

Company Soccer, '25, Wrestling Squad, Track Squad, Military Merit Badge, Marksman, lst honors in Biology and Business Law. No one but the Spanish instructors ever pronounced Gil's name correctly and when they sent for him the orderly generally brought 'Charley Hill, so we all learned to know him as Gil with the G hard as in goat. The quiet, soldierly and likable Cuban was with us three years and in his unassuming way, he made his mark in a number of ways and won for himself the regard and respect of his comrades. Like most of the Latin-American contingent, he knocked out high grades in his courses and was always to be counted on to obligingly do our Spanish prose for us when taps approached and the old twelve sentences still remained undone. He has been a distinct asset to the Class and we bid him Hana Mega with hearty good wishes and regret. Q56 ARNOLF MOOREHEAD GRINAGER- Grinnie Ossining, N. Y. Randolph Literary Society.

R. He figured that an all 'round kaydet should be in everything except possibly the exalted society of the Red Cords. His chief diversion and preoccupation, however, was always the good old Springfield and at punching holes in the bulls-eye at any distance from 50 feet to 200 yards, he was decidedly efficient. He captained that flourish- ing organization, the Stamp Club, for a year or so and very snappily escorted the Battalion Colors on parade. About the barracks we found him generally cheerful and willing and We learned to esteem him for the qualities of sportsmanship and plugging determination which he so universally displayed.
