Page24 THE HAVERSACK 1928 CHARLES joHN EGLER, JR.- Baron New York City Private, Company A , '24, '25, '26, '27, Corporal, '27, '28, Detailed to Ordnance Department, '28, Marksman, '24, '25, '26, Class Honors in Civics and Business English, Cross Country, '24, '25, Tennis, '24, '25, Company Rifle Team, '24, '25, Soccer, '24, '25, Cross Country, '26, Company Rifle Team, '26,' First Team Polo, '26, Pope Polo Championship Cup CTrophyJ '26, Tennis, '27, Polo, '27,' Rifle Team, '27, The Baron appeared on the Manlius campus in the fallof 1924. and has been with us more or less constantly since then until this june when he received his sheepskin. 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.

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.

1928 THE HAVERSACK I'1Qe25 EDWARD W ILLIAM FOLEY- Ed Pleasant Plains, L. I., N. Y. Private, Company HA , '27-'28,' King Lyceum Club,' Company In- tramural Baseball, Company Track. Ed was one of the mid-year crop of Cups during the academic year, '26-'27, and consequently was unlucky enough to be conspicuous with the rest of the new men who came at that season. Ed being lrish and having large feet, was accused of being a policeman, and the razzing directed his way often became irksome to the pleasant chap, but he controlled himself admirably under the circumstances. A quiet youth if ever there was one, but the potential power within this Celt should not be under-estimated. It is understood that he is through with school. Much as we would like to wish him the best in college we will apparently have to confine this to wishes for success in whatever he undertakes in business and in life. 544530. 913039 CHARLES HARRX' FRENCH- Frenchy Oneida, N. Y. Private, Headquarters Company CBand Sectionj, '27, 'Z8,' Athletic .Merit Ribbon, '28,' Company Football, '27,' Company Basketball, '28,' Baseball, '28,' King Club. Pyramis Society. Frenchy, with his cornet, has well earned a good word and deserving praise. A man of personality, he has found a place in the hearts of his companions while at Manlius. Being a good sport and a hard worker he has done much for himself and his Company. His aca- demic standing speaks well for him. In fact his whole record is one of merit, Being a practical man and one of action, he has good prospects for a successful career. Next year he plans to enter Syracuse, where, we hope, he will make good. Frenchy is really deserving the name of good fellow, and we are sorry to see him leave Manlius.
