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.

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 B , '27, '28,' Company Soccer, '27g Genesee Valley- Manlius Club, King Club, Third Prize Faculty Military History Medal. Every now and then Manlius has a Kaydet that just plugs along in his own quiet way, and before the battalion realizes it, he has carved his memory on the minds of his comrades at school. just such a man was Scotty. There was no bluster about him but soon you came to know that he existed, and was just the right sort of chap to have around. If the company needed a man for soccer, he went out and helped out. Then he tried to bring fame to Hadley Hall by entering the Military History contest. He didn't win first place to be sure, but we know that his essay was good. Above all, he was good-natured. He leaves Manlius for Cornell and we regret that he is only giving us one year of his cheery, quiet self. nzqexa. vozncuv josEPH HOWARD KAISER-llH0wi6 Lawrence, N. Y.

He was something of an athlete, a musician. an all-around good fellow and a protege of Doyle's. What would the latter have done without Howie to help him wield a nasty flashlight on his ten-thirty inspection? What would the faculty have done without his bright presence in class? What would the band section have done without his wise-cracks? What will the school do without him next year? He goes from here to Boston University and their gain is our loss, but we wish him luck just the same, and lots of it.
