IC. lll'IA'I'Il TUYYNH ALB., Middlebury Fnllegez lfrvnrh. Spunisll: FINIPII of Baseball: appointed 1919. A sense of humor is a prize possession -one such as that of Joe Simmons is worth a million. The Seniors in the American History class can perhaps best vouch for the marvelous spontaneity and quick wit which he evidences so often, but there is not a boy in school who has not chuckled at some quip which this jovial gentleman has perpe- trated in a moment of levity. Joe carried on his reputation for turning out teams worthy of Country Day's whole-hearted support by coach- ing an undefeated eleven last season. Not content with working himself into a frenzy over football, Joe reigns as lord and master of the dorm: and that is a job which in our opinion only a man who possesses extraordinary pa- tience and infallible ability to count up to ten can hold. In the months when snow and ice are king, this barrel-chested Hercules takes over the wild and woolly Intermediates and actually draws out from their number a team that plays a pretty fair game of basketball: -and that's quite a feat. Recently still another duty has been heaped upon his husky shoulders. to wit: the guardianship of the books. the vigilance over the volumes, or whatever you choose to call it. But Joe manages to bear up pretty well, don't you think? Joseph F. Simmons o E. lloath Towne- Mr. Towne, that unfathomable cynic of Room 2, is still trying to prove to the lower forms that he is no ogre: but it would seem that he must soon throw up his hands in despair. To those who are in his classes, how- ever, Deac is no formidable monster. They know him rather as a square- shooter and heed the epigram which echoes every year on the posters and blackboards of his room. i'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Besides teaching three years of high school French. Mr. Towne has enough faith in human nature to lend a helping hand to those Seniors who have fallen by the wayside: and, believe it or not, he gets them safely past their College Boards. In the spring Deac dons the legend- ary skull-cap and joins the boys on the diamond. I-Ie has turned out many more-than-average nines in his sixteen years at Country Day. and the fine spirit which pervades his squads is ex- emplary. Last fall Deac took a hand at coach- ing the Intermediate football group which made a good come-back after a rather weak start. Twice a week Mr. Towne winds up the day at the Shorewood Opportunity School where he gives instructions in French some time between six and mid- night.
