Adelphi Society. Whenever the Band appeared either on parade or in formal concert you would be sure to hear Damon and his clarinet. 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.

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

Skank entered Manlius way back in the dark ages when the cadets wore spiral putts and oversea caps. He got along very well in his guppy year because he had the happy faculty of not saying much.v He hailed from The Flower City and his A.W.L. passes were frequent. He was a general favorite both among the fellows here at school, and , the girls at home. He received many of the proverbial pink and purple letters. Although Skank was small, he participated in every athletic he could, for instance, he couldn't make the big basketball team so he coached the juniors while playing. He was in the school room iust six times in the five years he was here, and that is something to be proud of. His favorite trick, while being a captain, was to knock off his hat with his sabre at parade. He did it one evening and the machine gun carts ran over it. Whenever there were any practical jokes being played, Skank was always among the foremost and we will never forget the time when someone filled his bed with cinders. He goes to Pennsylvania next vear, and we foretell a very promising career for the prince of good fellows. ' nzvgnai wairxzw HAROLD HUTCHESON DRAKE-iiR6d , Newark, N.

Pyramis Society. This scintillating star from Newark has carried on in an able manner. His great all-round ability as a Kaydet in general earned him the title of Model New Boy. He has won a place in the hearts of all B Company as being a good sport. His carrot-topped head was a prime favorite about the campus. Not only did he prove successful in athletics and his social life but no trouble ever befell him in his studies. Well is he named Model New Boy for 1928.
