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.

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.

Bushy has been with us quite a long time, seven years to be exact. During his stay at Manlius, he took part in many activities. Starting as a youngster in Company E , he gradually worked his way up to the Captaincy of Company C . Although not outstanding at first as a student, still he managed to keep out of the schoolroom. Then in his senior year he stepped out to secure class honors in three different subjects. In athletics he stuck to intramural sports. Here he made a name for himself in soccer and helped to win many other shields for his company. In addition, he proved to be successful as the Coach of the Wildcats. In the support of the big teams, the Corps couldn't ask for a better cheer leader. Other fields claimed him also. Who has not read his jokes and other contributions to the Wind Mill and all other publications of the school. Then, too, he was one of the best actors in school. As leading man, he contributed to the success of many dramatic productions. I-3ushy will long be remembered as an all-around good fellow and his mail box indicated that his popularity did not cease at Nlanlius. Nlay his future be as successful as his past at Manlius has been.

'27. Phi Mu Alpha. There would never be a revolution in Mexico if everyone living in that country was like Ralph. ,lust look at his list of Good Conduct Ribbons and then gaze upon his handsome features, and then try to imagine a fierce, bewhiskered brigand in the making. It simply can't be done. Some day we hope, however, that he will be President of that nation. Then we know that things will be straightened out as they should be. He is the kind that does things quietly but does them. He was accustomed to tell of the queer and funny things that happened in the Mexican elections. Those events would never go on if Ralph were at the head of things. It is too bad that he was with us but one short year because he was a regular fellow and a good Kaydet. While here, his quiet unassuming modesty achieved him immense popularity and we wish him the very best that life can hold in store for anyone.
