ALBERT G. FREROTTE CCAIQ, FORD CITY, PA. PITT Big, strong, rangy-but not dumb !-describes Al to a T . A more stu' dious, hard-working chap cannot be found in the entire school. Easy-going Al becomes perturbed at nothing, even though the boys are making sport of him Cwe never did for several reasons D. Pittsburgh is going to get a wonderful foot- ball center next fall. That never-say-die spirit stamps Al as the type of athlete who is not only oing to be good, but is going to be a great player. Swearing on the athletic field fsertering his form, getting more distance, Al is destined ro make a name for himself. Don't be surprised to find Frerotte on the 1940 Olympic Team. ROBERT B. GABRIEL I 6B0b7! DETROIT, MICH. MICHIGAN During his sojourn at Massanutten Bob has made an enviable record for himself in more than one phase of school life. An excellent student, captain of a championship swimming team, president of the science club, he is the type of student equally appreciated by coaches and teachers. His continual cheerfulness and amiable personality will make him long remembered by students, faculty and townspeople. The college of his choice, whether it be the University of Michigan or Washington and Lee University, may be sure that it has enrolled a capable student and a dependable athlete. FRANK W. GEARING, Jr. X CCDOCH WOODSTOCK, VA. UNIVERSITY or VIRGINIA Woodstock, the quiet, slumbering village of Civil and Revolutionary War fame claims Frank as one of its worthy citizens. But we hesitate to say whether Frank feels the same way about it. Quiet, reticent, but alert, we can only opine as to his future. Whether he will follow in his farher's footsteps and seek his fame and fortune in the medical world only the days that lie ahead can tell Bur judging by the way he makes the music roll from a sax, he will some day make any musician sit up and take notice. Whatever course he follows, we feel sure that he will appease the souls of the afflicted-either by mellow notes or sooth ing balms. V273 lk THE ADJUTANT-1936

- .W .,., PITTSBURGH, PA. JOSEPH V. DONATELLI C 5J0e, Y UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Joe-alias Haile -is the fire-eater whose Latin temperament flames up so often in picturesque UD outbursts of expressive emotion. His honeyed voice has happily drawn many friends Cfiends?j to him by its dulcet tones. joe manages to get along in his studies without any great effort. His attention to political and international affairs is well known among all his fellow students. The ltalo- Ethiopian situation certainly engrossed Joe. He could never see the darker side of life and never will. FRANK H. DRIVER Frank CATONSVILLE, MD. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND Hold on there, ladies and gentlemen, and gaze on the countenance of the Ubig pork and beef man from Catonsville. Frank is such a livestock expert that he can take one long, wistful look at brown bossy and tell you without bat- ting an eye whether or not her randpappy came from edigreed stock. We don't know just what plans Frani may have in prospect For the future, but we rather suspect they'll have a meaty twang to them. In athletics, this genial younlg gentleman has limited his activities mainly to track. Here's to you, Fran ! ALLAN C. DUFF ' 'Allan' COLLINGSWOOD, NJ. SPRINGFIELD Allan is a worthy subject for the respect and honor of those who admire in- tense and whole-hearted participation in whatever one undertakes. Not always a winner, this cadet probably derives as much a thrill from the fray as those who are. As an armory stooge, track candidate, infantry corporal and general util- ity man, Allan keeps the campus buzzin with activity. Each day, from reveille until taps, he can be seen dashing to ant? fro concentrating his determined coun- tenance upon the objective to be accomplished, whether it be a hundred-yard dash or the mastication of a Wrigley's finest. Allan works as hard as he plays, and best of all, he is sure to get a big kick out of life! THE AD UTANT-1936 lk C265

CLIFFORD H. HAHN Woodchuck PITTSBURGH, PA. PRINCETON A remarkably brilliant mind and a will to work have enabled Woodchuck to win first academic honors among the Seniors with almost monotonous reg- ularity lnclined to be very quiet when he entered Massanutten, his year here has done a great deal toward destroying his inhibitions about expressing himself. Although not a natural athlete, he was the most determined and persistent mem- ber of the ayVee football squad. He has those qualities which usually spell suc- cess In his chosen field of engineering. We predict for him success, both in col- lege life and in his work thereafter. LINUS R. HALIN Dixie TARENTUM, PA. PURDUE I-low the name of Dixie was ever acquired is beyond us, because he is not from anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line. However, he lives up to the name with his easy-going personality, but he does have a habit of passing out some very sarcastic remarks-but all in fun. ln football we can use the old proverb that, As an end, 'Dixie' made a swell halfbackf' Being very tough fphysicallyj and a deadly tackler, he should go far in football. He has a build which reminds one of an All-American quarterback. A Little Bit Independent describes Dixie in his attitude to the opposite sex. We have heard that he really and truly wears the pants in that Grace-ful love affair of his. Although Dixie has been at Massanutten for only one short year, he has made many friends and to whatever school he enters next year, we can only say-your gaing our loss. CHARLES H. HAYS ucurlyn PITTSBURGH, PA. CARNEGIE TECH joe lists his enthusiasms as building model aeroplanes, playing the saxophone and subdividing Gaul into its three parts. As a leading member of the Aeroplane Club he displayed unsuspected resources of patience and ingenuity in constructing models. l-le broke what is believed to have been the all-time endurance record- when his plane lodged in a tree! The Massanutten Dance Band owes much of its sax-appeal to Joe, and it must be conceded that he can toot sweet. This mod- est fellow of varied interests will make his mark in the world fhe made quite a few here D and we hope he flies high. THE AD UTANT-1936 lk f28j
