BEVERIDGE K jim, 1 - YALE This fellow dims somewhat our determination to avoid strong superlatives in sketching these personalities. So mild and modest, he, nevertheless, has that certain something that makes you want to use Browning's phrase about Words- worth and say instead, so mild and magnifIcent. Never evasive in his prompt and accurate classroom answers, he is the most elusive broken field runner our football team has had for years. At Yale he will star in the professor's eyes as well as in the colorful bowl, for he is the well-rounded type you read about. FREDERICK LOUIS BLANK Freddie NEW YORK CITY WILLIAM AND MARY Freddie is Massanutten's veteran of many years Cthree cheers and a sally for himj. Playing the bass horn may not be the best and most enjoyable vocation, but it-his playing in the M.M.A. band-has kept little Freddie out of many hours of drilling with a rifle and thus saved him much energy Cwalking energyj. This New Yorker was not one of Glunt's mainstays, nevertheless, he was called upon many times to sub for a fast tiring tackle, and he always came through with flying colors. Freddie isn't worrying about ever becoming valedictorian of his class, but neither is he worrying about leading his class from the wrong end fffomprende usted?D GERALD J. BREAKSTONE ' 'Breakie' ' PITTSBURGH, PA. CARNEG IE TECH Right this way! The daring young man who broke the flying trape::e! Built along the general lines of an Irish potato, he is as different from the Irish as a Russian ought to be. Well, it's like this. ln four years at Massanutten, l5reakie has distinguished himself for what some gink called genius, namely, 'Lan infInite capacity for taking pains. Really, we don't know what to say about this fel- low-we know him so well. Anyway, if you ever happen to pour into the same hat a dispostion that can hardly be ruffled, a determination such as you find in adventure magazines, and a laissezffaire policy that will never get him in dutch Cdon't worry, we're not going to pun about Holland and Russiaj, you'll pull out a rabbit-we beg your pardon, we stutter or something, we meant Breakstone.

.E WILLIAM BAGSHAW ' 'Bebo' ' CALIFORNIA, PA. ALABAMA lfstarring in three major sports was Bill's ambition upon entering Massanut- ten, certainly he has fully realized his ambition. During the football season he was on the receiving end of many successful forward passes and on the tossing end of man laterals. Coolness, dependability in a tight spot, and a generally smooth perfyormance on the basketball Hoot won for him a most deserved place on the all-state prep school team. His abilities are by no means confined to ath- letics as can easily be seen from his academic record. Clean-cut looks, a con- tagious smile, and an unfailing sense of humor have won for Bebo the friend, ship of both students and faculty. MURRAY B. BAKER 56Bake1 9 PROVIDENCE, R .l. BROWN Hailing from Providence, where the A's are as broad as in Boston, Bake has disclosed that he has the capacity if not the industry to make A's in his stud- ies. While these words are supposed to be more honeyed than critical, we think too much of Murray's potentialities to spare him this friendly tip. By the way, he's the sort of fellow who could tell you what potentialities means, too. Un- decided between Brown and Annapolis, he is already at sea. All barbs aside, Murray seems to have the ideal looks, mood and intellect for the sort ofcorpora- tion lawyer he longs to be. JACK M. BEAMER lCM.ull9, WELCH, W.VA. WASHINGTON AND LEE You may be a traveller de luxe, but, until you all have seen Welch's contribu- tion to Massanutten you have not seen the world. No, he is not the eighth won- der, but he comes very near to being it. When you see a five-foot eight-inch piece of humanity with a body similar to that of jimmy Londos, a pair of legs which match those of Flash Gordon, and a face which may see Hollywood at some time Q Harpo Marx is past his primejg then you have a picture of Cadet Beamer. As the blocking back in football, he did not receive the publicity that he should have. He made it possible for many long runs by removing all obstacles Copposing playersl that were in the way of the ball carrier. Massanutten's loss is Washington and Lee's gain.

f 4 u 1 5 IRA W. BRENEMAN Junior DETROIT, MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN just another Detroit swimmer! Junior, as he is called because no other suit' able nickname has been found, was one of the big factors in the swimming team's not losing any meets. As a student he is of that intelligent type which certainly was present when the brains were shared out because he gets fine grades with comparatively little studying. While junior can and does pun and joke with the best of them, he is more well-known for his impersonations of the big shots that he has seen. We have heard that he eats Grape Nuts, so that he will be able to keep up with a certain dancer who is not too bad at all. My word, Junior. FRANK W. BUDKE, Jr. KfBillY 1 CANONSBURG, PA. SWARTHMORE Gnce upon a time a writer said, l care not who writes the laws of my coun- try if I may write its songs. With a somewhat stretched parody upon that author's words, we should like to say of Bill that we care not what a man says if his laugh is rich and hearty. Now, there's nobody who can laugh quite like Bill. Althou h he prunes and waters all kinds of serious ambitions like beating Dar- row in fegal battles, etc., he's really oing to get his greatest dividend out of life from that sense of humor he has. lfgyou think we've Hlled all this space just to avoid mentioning his grades and his general record, you just take a look at the books for yourself. , ANDREW R. CLARKE KGAndy!! DETROIT, MICH. WILLIAM AND MARY Hailing from Detroit, Andy came to Massanutten a quiet and unassuming fellow. A hard worker in anything he attempts, he has said little but has done a great deal. Nor until you have seen Andy in the water, can you realize his great est asset. His aquatic ability is easily evident when we notice the number of pool records which he has broken during his short stay here. We appreciate his ability, admire his untiring efforts to better it, and predict for him a bright future in the world of swimming competition. C231 X THE ADJUTANT-1936
