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.

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.

Observer, '28, Randolph Literary Society. Kelly who hails from New England spent two profltable years at Manlius and now passes on to the University of Pennsylvania. Apparently Kelly is one of the few who think the home section isn't the only place where one may obtain an education, for he was con- tented with us and wants to continue in the Manlius atmosphere of the U. of l'. This lad was a good student and a fair athlete. His proficiency in Intramurals was always recognized, and he was one of the standbys on A Company intramural teams. Aside from his athletic activities he found time to play with journalism, perhaps he expects to pursue this as his life's work. This New Englander was quiet enough in his ways and had little difficulty with anyone except when he took the notion to find out what made the Park so attractive. That's all right, Kelly, you can come and go as you please next year-you have our best wishes always at your side. ' 'magna voranzv JOHN WESLEY KERSHAW- Johnnie l Canandaigua, N. Y.

Pyramis Society. johnny the beloved wise-cracker of Hadley Hall has departed whence no one knows. He took his diploma in his hand and left us, saying he did not intend to go to college, and that was all. Maybe he will return next year to amuse the Hadleyites, and increase his own prestige in the field of witticism and humor. johnny is not too far from us but he is said to be awfully hard to catch as he is always on the move, seeking his daily adventure. Sometimes, johnny, on his A.W.l.. visits home it is said, would cut loose on such capers as jumping off trolleys while still in motion and the like. johnny always would have his fun, but seriously, he was a friend well worth having and retaining, although he frequently took occa- sion to apply the razz to the nearest victim whether he be friend or mere acquaintance, and still we have no record of anyone having taken offence. johnny's principal athletic activity was soccer, and he was a stellar performer in that game. in fact he was good enough to allow for his poorer showing during the other athletic seasons. Be good, jolmny, and accept our best wishes for the future.
