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.

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.

Tom had a brother ahead of him at Manlius, and another brother following him, so you can see that he has a family tradition to uphold, so to speak. He finished his years at Manlius with that job well done. just look at his pedigree and you will agree that we are correct. He went in for most everything and that is just what an older brother would expect him to do, and just the right sort of example for a younger brother to follow. So much for activity, now for the man himself. He was one of B Company's cheerful lights. For some reason or other, he could see the bright side of life and passed his optimism on to others. Penn gets him this coming year, and we only hope that he is as successful there as he was here. n:q,u:-e. waz nav GORDON DIMMICK LAMB-'iDOC Earlville, N. Y. Private, Company B , '26, Ist Class Private, '27, Sergeant, '28, Varsity Football, '26-'27-'28, Baseball, '26, Track, '27-'28, Company Baseball, '27-'28, Company Basketball '26-'27-'28, Hunt Manual Trophy, '28, King Lyceum Club, Athletic Merit Ribbon, '26-'27-'28. Doc came to us from Earlville, He appeared to be husky and proved it by making the football team for three consecutive years. He was always to be found where there was a sport of any kind in progress. He was a good soldier and the roof garden was very rarely honored by his presence. Wherever any help was needed, Doc was the first to be called on. Living just over the hill from Manlius made it very easy for him to get home, and he was very frequently A.W.L. He was often seen in the company of Lieut. johnson, and Lieut. Johnson knew quite a bevy of girls. Doc goes to Buffalo next year, and we are sorry to lose a prince of good fellows.
