College: Syracuse. After three years here Barker plans to go to the College of Forestry at Syracuse University. At first he was very quiet and bashful but still of that kind that plugs along until everyone likes him. In studies he would be rated as a little above the average. His athletic activities have been confined almost exclusively to track although he did his share in company sports. When it comes to a rifle however, he is a dead shot and won for himself a place on the first team. What's more he is loyal and sticks to his home town in spite of being razzed about living in the sticks. 03552 ROBERT ALEXANDER BARRINGER-HB0b Schenectady, N. Y.

Why write of his accomplishments when the newspapers have been scattering his record-breaking races across the face of the country for the past two or three years? When it wasn't track with him, he found time for basketball, golf, swimming or some other sport and he played them all well. We get one like him once in a generation and, when we do, we are proud of him.

College: Cornell. I.ike Lochinvar, this young cadet came out ofthe west. While he did not carry off any damsels, willing or otherwise, he managed to make a very credible showing at Manlius by winning several shields and ribbons, both academic and athletic, with which to decorate his blouse. In other words, he balanced his activities in order to get everything that he possibly could out of his cadet days. NVe wonder whether or not he will continue to collect stamps when he gets to Ithaca next fall. awakens. wan are Romain l,i2i,ANn BARBOUR-t'Bob Montclair, New Jersey Private, Company D , '27, '28, '20, Company D Polo Team, '27, '28, New Boy Tennis Team, '27, '28, Treasurer of the Press Club, '28-'29, Press Club, King Club, Manager of Company D Dramatics, '28-'29. College: Packard Business School. Bob was a New jersey boy and as such could be counted upon to extoll the wonders of the perfect state and the Big City. He managed to tickle a mean ivory to suit the company room and was known as the hottest man as ever sat down to entertain the company. His cheery, Hey, Hey, what do you want, could be heard almost anywhere in the barracks and usually along with it there came a famous punny crack. As a master of the art of dramatics he took away all prizes, especially in his premiere showing of Dress Rehearsal . The com- pany is saddened to say good-bye to the most famous of the three B's

College.' Antioch. Behold one of the mighty of Hamburg who came to us for two short years to live his nonchalant life in Hadley Hall, treating things as they came, always with a smile and good humor. Sometimes he could be found gracing the roof-garden with his august presence or again he was allowed to remain in the quiet of his own room, but it was all the same to Bart . Such a philosophy and outlook on life should get him far in this old world of ours. He leaves us for Antioch where we wish him the very best of luck. nv-ILQLKAQ. 013520 ROBERT SUMNI-:R BAxTIzRw Bob Syracuse, N. Y.

Bob's service dates back to the fall of '23 when he stepped onto the campus as a meek little gup determined to make his way and his mark. Since that time he has been busy gathering honors and glori- fying the name of Baxter. To be sure he did leave us for a while and then decided to come back and finish the job. Perhaps he sickened of selling automobiles. Anyway, he returned and topped off all of his good work by earning a Sam Browne and the coveted sheepskin.
