Huntington Literary Sooiety College: Pittsburgh Don in his three years' residence at school has proved himself to be one of the hardest-working and mast friendly chaps at Manlius. He was not a flashy type of fellow but was one of those steady pluggers to whom reward always comes in the end, in this case, in the form of a Sam Browne. Don could always be depended upon to Fill in whenever there was an extra man needed. He was one of the phil- osophers of the company and always on hand to make us see the bright side of things with his cheerful smile and friendly pat on the back. Don has shown a desire for wandering far away from his native haunts but we are sure that he will be as big a success wherever he goes as he has been here at Manlius. annum rvaibzwv EDXYARD ABBOTT CUNINGHAM-UfV6d Seattle, XVash.

In his quiet, inollensive way, Ned was a man that did his best for himself and his company. If an extra man was needed for some company team, he was the chap that helped out in the emergency. In addition he gathered a few ribbons for himself and took time to indulge in his hobbies, such as collecting stamps and hunting with the camera. Such things as these, however, were minor in his young life. lf he wasn't actually inventing some very useful contrivance or other, he would be blissfully pondering on the Einstein theory or the fourth dimension. His thoughts were many and always of the useful kind. We think that Manlius has been harboring a young Edison during his time here and now he leaves with the best wishes of the whole battalion

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.

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.

There is no means of calculating the exact number of notes contributed to their renderings by this young fellow but at the very least, we can say that he did his share. And when he put that sax of his to his lips, how the hot stuff did pour forth. There was only one difficulty with this however. The sleepy members of the band threatened to hide the loving instrument on more than one occasion. Last summer he charmed the Mediterranean with his magic instrument, this summer our own Boston will have the benefit of his talent. Good luck, old man, and may your music continue to soothe. 4-magna. we-:nrnv PIERCE MILTON DAVIS-'iiP. M.

C., '27. During his four-year stay at Manlius, UP. M, has earned the respect of everyone by his distinguished record in athletic, academic and military fields. Further, he has augmented this respect by his modesty and reticence to talk of his achievements. In spite of his high marks no one ever succeeded in catching him in the act of studying. During his first two years, Davis spent most of his rec- reation hours playing on various company teams, but in his third year he played on the championship junior basketball team. This last year he starred in soccer, basketball and tennis, yet he managed to find time to win the clock golf championship, get a silver Phoenix for academic work and display ability as a trapper. Rabbits, skunks and muskrats were the unfortunate victims of his many traps. In addition to all this, P. M. was a good fellow and distinctly original in every respect. He will always be welcome at Manlius and we hope that he will stop over to see us as often as he can. He goes to Dartmouth with the best wishes of his friends at Manlius.
