C. Pyramis Society. This ambitious young Sergeant will probably be remembered for his unfailing good nature. Did anyone ever see VVhitey with a real grouch? lf they did let them speak up, for there is a standing reward for anyone that ever catches him in that mental shape. Besides, he had a way of getting things done. Maybe it was the smile that made the gups work just a little harder for him. Red Grange's reputation was saved from never being only by the fact that Whitey stopped playing football at Manlius when he left the junior team. He intends to go in for law, and we know that he will be a success. Let us hope that none of us are ever brought up in front of him on any charges, for it would break his heart to have to deal harshly with any of his many friends from Manlius. pageant vsnnzv CALVIN LEROY ARMsTRoNG- Roy Caledonia, N.

In this day of favorite sons, we can say that his record at Manlius will easily elevate him to that category. Army is one of those unassuming kind that can be depended upon to help whenever he can. There was no company sport in which he did not do what he could for C Company. Then you can,consider his three years' services in the movie booth, an example of altruism for the delight of the Cadet Corps. It would have been much easier to have sat downstairs with the Battalion and enjoyed the movies with them. This lad intends to register at Mechanics Institute and develop a natural inclination for all things mechanical. We hope that he makes good. ln fact, some day we expect to be proud to claim acquaintanceship with the famous inventor, Mr. C. L. Armstrong.

Private, Company A , '28,' Company Football, '28,' Company Base- ball, '28, Company Speedball, '28,' Company Soccer, '28,' Track Squad, '28. Huntington Literary Society. This dark young man entered our fold last fall, and within a short time he had won his place with us. Luigi had a way with the maid that simply couldn't be beat, and as a good fellow he was just as hard to surpass. It must not be construed that this lad's activities were confined to heartbreaking and enlisting enduring friends for he was a scholar and a fair athlete. He played almost everything in Intramurals and was active on the board track throughout the winter, being a member of one of Coach Gould's crack relay teams. Luigi leaves us with our fondest wishes for success at the higher in- stitution of learning which he has chosen, Colgate. It is understood thai his brother is to become a johnny next year to take his place wit us. mzq, ,Lan -var: :nw ARTHUR ELLIOTT ALLEN- A rt Montclair, N. J.

Art signed up at Manlius two years ago and came to live in Yerbeck Hall. Those years have been successful as a good student and a good fellow. In his studies he led his class during all of his senior year. l-le picked the hardest courses in the curriculum and was never known to grace the schoolroom. Although studious, Art was far from a grind for besides getting his letter on the swimming team, he helped C Company in many of its sports. Although he was never publicly proclaimed a shiek, there were not many days that there were not at least one letter in his box at the P.X. He made many friends and leaves many friends behind him at Manlius. Vile hope that he will not be too busy in his college days at Dartmouth to look us up occasionally.

Bergie came to Manlius in the fall of 1927. He was a good Hgup- pie, and drilled well. He graced Mr. Bicknell with his presence only once during the year, and was an all-around good fellow. He had what may be termed as the eagle eye, and every Saturday morning found him down at the range. He was an excellent shot. lille played the piano very well, his specialty being Kitten on the evs. He goes to Michigan next year, and we all wish him the best of luck. nzvuza.

Pyramis Society. Al came to Manliusin the fall of '25, He wasalittle better than the average gup, and got along very well. He hails from Utica, and was frequently the possessor of an A.W.L. slip. Wherever any fun was to be had, Al was sure to be somewhere around. He was one of the school athletes, and starred in boxing in which he was captain. He got along quite well with his studies, and very rarely studied in the Roof Garden. Al had a lot of dramatic ability, and whenever Mr. Interlocutor was heard, he was always somewhere nearby. He sang very well, and was one of the famous singers of the B Com- pany trio. He certainly was a good entertainer, anfl when any funny stories were related, Al always had one better. This year because of his experience as guide, he was chosen as drum major over quite a few contestants, and performed his duties very well. Al hasn't decided what college he will attend, but we all know that he will be a huge success wherever he goes.
