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.

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.

Huntington Literary Society. College: M. I. T. The amount of study which this boy put through himself daily has been considered marvelous, as a matter of fact, Beak has been honored with Phoenixes twice for his brilliant academic standing. To lose a student of this caliber is indeed deeply felt, not only be- cause of his brilliance in the academic but in every other curricular and extra-curricular activity. Among his accomplishments are his being named model non-commissioned officer and the managership of the football team. In his three brief years at Manlius he has made a name for himself that will live for a long time to come. Many of us would give a great deal to be endowed with an ambition like his. He is headed for M.I.T., and success is bound to be his, and he goes with our very best wishes. We are sorry there are no more of his blood coming to take their places with us. ,maxne- sv.-znnzw FREDERICK KELLOGG GIFFORD'iiP6i6,' Vllhitesboro, N. Y.

Well, well, well, Pete Gifford of banjo and trombone fame! 'Tis a pleasant task Pete, to give you a hand and wish you the fairest of luck and success at Syracuse next year. This lad spent two brief years in association with us and never a scowl has been known to cross his radiant countenance. Always with a pleasant word and a more than occasional witty crack-that is Pete in a nutshell. A mereman of note and a wonderful syncopator-these were his chief points of recognition among fellow cadets. This happy fellow had his share of decorations and stood above the average in every way. We hope he will continue in this manner evermore. We are expecting to hear creditable things from him at Syracuse next year. Don't disappoint us Pete
