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

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.

CRAFTON, PA. ALBERT F. CONRAD fCTiny,Y DUKE Most young chaps as huge as Tiny have the urge to bully their less for- tunate fellows, but with this Behemoth, not so. As gentle as a dove Cexcept when he does a little very amateurj, he sees no harm, thinks no harm, and hears- well, we ain't sayin'. If making money were as simple as doing math or taking an end out of an off-tackle play, Tiny could cell the Colonel to go ahead and start in on a dozen new buildings and that he'd foot the bill. lt may turn out to be that easy for him after all. Who can fancy a business prospect ever saying No to this Tarzan? On second thought, we think we'll just start excavating for the new dorm at least. NATHAN H. CORMAN Bullet WOODSTOCK, VA. FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL l-lonk! Honk! Honk! No, it's not a flock of wild geese overhead, but Bul- let coming at you with his Henry F- fyou guess what kind D coupe. This enter- prising local boy has been a student at Massanutten since away back when, and is as much and as indispensable a part of the school as the mess hall or the Colonel's specs We understand that Bullet has big plans for the future, and we feel confident in redicting happiness and success as rewards which lie just around the corner For you, pal. Good-bye and good luck to one who, we feel assured, will make us all sit up and take notice some day. ' THOMAS COURTNEY, Jr. Tom LAKEWOOD OHIO UNITED STATES NAVAL .ACADEMY Y Lakewood has sent us Knot by our permissionj a handsome, well-built chap with the monicker of Thomas, shortened by the cadets to Tom. Shhhli--it has been rumored that he signs his very personal letters Lochinvar. Our subject is a very conscientious type, quite so in all his undertakings. The fall saw Tom cart- ing and booting the pigskin into kingdom come, the winter season saw the Grecian-built lad splashing his way to many points for the Foutsmen, and the spring term saw our idol tossing and heaving the baseball from the mound 5. la Lefty Grove. Lakehurst has its dirigibles, and Lakewood has its Tom Courtney. THE AD JUTANT-1936 ak un 4:0
