With Fergie's graduation, Millbrook loses one of its foremost Champions of Leo the Lip's boys. Next year's Dodger fans in Dutchess County will have an easy time. Let no one think, however, that Friend Fergus was merely a fan. He was an eager and able performer on the athletic fields: he was our star hurdler this spring, and was, for some reason, never fully explained, known ho the football squad as Our Knight of the Garter. During his senior year Ferg was active in the Current Events Club fhe was the only senior rooting for Taftj. In the Dining Hall, with Pboone aiding and abetting, he furnished free musical entertainment practically every night of the school year. NICKNAMES F ergie, Ferg, Fungus.

He came to us as a fifth former but it didn't take him long to become one of the Boys, Herbert shone on the football field, the basketball court, and on the baseball diamond. He even beat Mr. Howard at pool, once. In spite of all these achievements, Herb will be best remembered by his classmates for his intense love of his home town, mentioned above. Like a doting mother's appraisal of her son, so sounds Herb's regard for the upstate town: Just Perfect. l NICKNAMES Godak, Glurb, Herbie, Herb, Hot Horse.
