'50-'52, Football '50-'51, Basketball '51-'52, Baseball '51-'52, If this blurb were written for a Binghamton newspaper we would opt for the head- line Local Boy Makes Goodll' Herb's career at Millbrook was indeed a success story. 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.

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.

Dennis, however, has a record that has never been equaledg Den was here for seven. The elder statesmanl' of the form was an invaluable line man in football his last two years, as well as hockey goal-keeper, and field-events man in track. As head of the eflicient post office, Dennis struggled successfully with managerial difhculties, such as mail-snitching at recess, and ungummed stamps. His booming voice was a thrill to hear at Glee Club, and in the phone booth. Seven years? What will Millbrook do without him? NICKNAMES Den, Den-Den, Gawt, Denny. GREAT AMBITION Keep it clean.
