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.

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.

His characteristic quietness with which he went about his work made him inconspicuous but it can never be said that he was ever inactive. During the autumn months he busied himself with polo, while in the winter he was active with tl1e rilie team. In the spring it is said that he did a great deal of heart-breaking. we do know that he was often A.VV.I.. which tends to confirm the belief that at least some of his time was spent in this occupation. The finish of his prep school career seems to be the finish of his schooling for he is going to enter business in the near future. There is no reason why the Baron should not be successful in life's venture. nzqgenet ALBERT BURBANK ELLIOT- Al Thomaston, Maine Private, Company D , '26-'27, Corporal, '27-'28, Military Merit Badge, '26, One Bronze Shield, '27, Second Bronze Shield, '27, Third Bronze Shield, '28, One Gold Shield, '28, Good Conduct Ribbon, '27,' One Bronze Shield, '27,' One Bronze Shield, '28, Company Basketball, '27 '28, Company Baseball, '27 '28, King Club, Punchinello Club. College: Bowdoin. Al's Hrst appearance at Manlius came two years ago, when he tore himself away from a bevy of Thomaston beauties long enough to pack a few necessary articles and catch a train for Syracuse. Although a heartfbreaker at home, he has shown himself to be a machine-gunner of no mean ability and a faithful supporter of company athletics. He starred for D Company's basketball team in the center position. He is also a student who managed to evade the groping hands of those in charge of schoolroom most of the time. His activity in school life did not stop with his military, athletic and academic achievements. He was invaluable to his fellowmen at those times when a button must be sewed on or all will be lost. The explanation of the astonishing fact is simple. Boating is his summer hobby and he is often called upon to make an extra jib or topsail, hence his skill with the needle. For one whose accomplishments are so varied, success should be a simple matter. We wish him a great deal of what we are sure he will get, success.
