1928 THE HAVERSACK Page27 MARC DE GRAVES-'ZlIarc Gouverneur, N. Y. Private, Company D , '27-'28g Academic Merit Ribbon QOne Bronze Shield, '27, '28,'j First Honors, History of English Literature and Sociology: Company Basketball, '28,' Company Speedball, '28,' King Club: Bridge Club. College: Colgate. Although this was Marc's first year at Manlius, he soon showed his aptness in studies by being the first member of the illustrious D Company to win the Academic Merit Medal. As an athlete, during the fall term, he was quite an equestrian, paying frequent visits to Lt. Fout's Stables, while during the spring term he was an ardent golf fan, spending most of his afternoon recreation periods out on the campus swatting a pill. Though small of stature, he was always in the midst of anything that might he going on about school, and never seemed to have the blues. As a result of this, he won many friends during his stay in our midst. VVe shall certainly miss his Hey, youse guy's, sounding up and down the hall now that he has left us, but we ardently hope that he will hnd a few moments of his precious time while at Colgate to come down and pay the old school a few visits in the future. nzqaxat vadrmv JOSEPH PAUL FRANCIS GREYBACK- Joe or Prof Ilion, N.

The dignified bearing and scholarly attitude of this kaydet earned him the appropriate moniker, The Prof. Let it be explained that The Prof put in four years at Manlius with all success and with not brilliant but very reasonable accomplishment. Intramural athletics absorbed most of his spare energy but he always found time to worry certain musical instruments. On the school orchestra, he had the goods when it came to playing the sax and many a kaydet will vouch for his ability to make their hair stand on end. He won't tell us where he expects to matriculate next fall, but he reassures us that he will do so even if he has to start a college of his own. CWe are sure he is capable of doing thisb. Best of luck, Prof , in any of your coming adventures.

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

Private, Company A , '27, 285 Varsity Football, '27,' Relay and Track Teams, '27-'28,' Athletic Merit Medal, COne Bronze Shieldj. Adelphi Society. Michigan University. Bill came to Manlius with every recommendation as an athlete, and with the name of one of this country's greatest grid stars of the past, and he lost no time in getting into the red and black moleskins. His work on the gridiron did more than confirm the reports of his ability, and if we are any judge he 'will carry the name of his father to re- newed glory at Michigan in the coming four years. Bill got into the roof garden occasionally but to our knowledge, was eligible to partic- ipate in his beloved athletics. He was happy-go-lucky and full of pep. This carried him through here, and it will stand in his stead in college too. Show them your stuff Bill and best of luck. Don't forget us, when the Old Boys return on their annual commencement visits. IDQQQJSQ 'Zi F219 HAROLD HARRINGTON HILLS'iiIIKIl Syracuse, N. Y.

Randolph Literary Society. Hal resided with us for three years, and with little diiiiculty formed many lasting friendships. This blond Syracusan was not an athlete by nature, yet he is credited with sticking it out with the football squad for two seasons. Hal did have plenty of go when it came to studies, however, and it was not an uncommon sight to see him carrying the red and black Honor Grade cord about. He is to matriculate at the home town university next fall, so he will always be within reach of his first Alma Mater. Best of luck old man.
