Page28 THE HAVERSACK 1928 WILLIAM MARTIN HEsToN, JR.- Bill Detroit, Mich. 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.

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.

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. Y. Private, Headquarters Company CBand Sectionj, '2-I-'25, Ist Class Private, '24, '25,' Corporal, '25, '26g Sergeant, '26, '27, '28,' Good Conduct Ribbon, '26, '27, '28,' Company Baseball, '26, '27,' Company Football, '27, '28,' Company Basketball, '24, '25, '26, '27, '28,' Company Soccer, '2-l, '25, '26g Company Deck Tennis, '27, '28,' School Orchestra, '26, '27, '28, Orpheus Music Society, King Club. 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.

Russ is a typical product of the Hudson Valley, and his short stay of one year gives us a taste of the individuality and character of the people of that section. Russ is one of the most likable fellows it has been our pleasure to know. Aside from his Fine qualities as a good fellow and real friend, we find he is not lacking when it comes to academic adaptability, for did he not walk eff with the venerable Cy Spawn's English Four honors this june? Enough said-any- body who could do that must be a whiz. Well, anyway, Russ is going to work on the English profs at the University of Pennsylvania next year and he has promised to communicate and tell us if they are as tough as Cy. In the field of athletics, Russ has little chance to get started, but he is to be commended for his work on the several intramural teams. Best of luck, Russ, and keep up the old standard.

What the boys in Thomson Hall will do next year without him is a matter of conjecture. Willie is in a big rush to make a name for himself in the engineering world, so he is taking the shortcut via Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This metropolitan lad came to Manlius unobtrusively and left in quite the same manner. The same steady plugging which won him his sheepskin here should do the same for him at R.P.I. It cannot be said that Willie was a boaster, but he had spirit and courage to make things happen the way he wanted them to, so what more can we ask. Vile are looking toward the future to see the results of your successes, Willie.
