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

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

WILLIAM W. CUNNINGHAM Bill ALEXANDRIA, VA. GEORGETOWN Bill is the ideal matinee idol-wavy chestnut hair and a rosy complexion. The glasses that he dons in the privacy of his room for study might lead the cas- ual observer into thinking Bill's is an earnest grind. But it isn't-far from that. Bill's somewhat lackadaisical manner has a lazy charm that does much for mak- ing his slow smile seem so very hospitable and sincere. The cadet corps will miss this fine upstanding young lieutenant. Bill, however, is just dying to get out in the world to try his mettle. He is dead sure to succeed-following in the wake of many other great men. NORMAN L. DeCINDIS Norm PHILADELPHIA, PA. PENN STATE Norm came to us from the Quaker State's principal metropolis-Phib adel hia. Although his sojourn at Massanutten has been short, he nevertheless has flound time to make his name well known on the campus. He was a reliable and consistent member ofthe varsity football squad. But he was perhaps a more illuminating figure on the M.M.A. glee club as soloist, in which ca acity he con- vincingly demonstrated his ability and talent. Neither is the art ofppugilism un- known to him, but he has no ambition to be crowned champion. Norm will enter the portals of Penn State next fall, where he will take a business course. Suave, friendly and likable, this chap should have no difficulty in the commercial world. WILLIAM DEN1soN ffBi11 CRANBURY, NJ. GRADUATE WORK Bill came to us as a newcomer last September, but it was only a very short while before we all felt the charm and warmth of his personality. He plans to enter the milling business of his father and work his way up from the bottom until he becomes internationally famous as the big corn, wheat and oats man from New Jersey. Bill has shown real histrionic ability as a member of the Gar- rick Dramatic Club and has rendered invaluable service as a member of the trum- pet section of the band and orchestra. Bill has also been a member of the staff which issues the yellow sheet. l25l Fl! THE ADJUTAN YY!
