Were it not for the fact that we are secluded on this hilltop from what matters most in this world, a' hundred feminine hearts would beat a little faster at this declaration. He has been among our best in football, basketball, and swimming: and his interest in club affairs. combined with other extra-curriculum activities, has shown his worth. But it is as an actor that Lew is best known to us, and the ease with which he has been seen to draw the fair heroine to his manly bosom on a well-lighted stage has made us wonder. He has played a notable part in our school life, and we all have enjoyed having him in our midst. We are expecting news of future activities from Mc-Gill. Club: Vice-Pres.. W. '27.

Yes, even the matrons lost their dignity and held their sides when this person visited Northfield. Brat is either taking a position with Barnum and Bailey's as a lion tamer, or taking up Aeronautical Engineering-or he may even sneak through the gates of New Hampshire State.

Stanley Sisco Atkins Stan Elizabeth, N. J. . COMMENCEMENT ISSUE John Lawrence Archibald Archie Claremont, N. H. Archie was taken under the wing of the claw of 1928 in the Winter of '27. The chief ambition of his Hermon life has been to get out: that is, to graduate. The high spot of his career was reached when he condescended to become the truant officer. At this position he was a huge success. For all of his diminu- tive appearance he had a voice and a micn that cowed the mightiest and caused the timorous Freshmen to shiver. Archie's two strong antipathies are English Cof any fiavori, and the Sem. The causes for these are unknown, but it is safe to say that they are firm, and the best o' luck for the future may not wipe them away. Athletics: Soccer, F. '27g Wrestling, W. '28. Hayward A big ieplesentatne fiom Africa landed here in the old days and has contin- ued to grow ever since until even a Zulu would have to sharpen his teeth be- fore serving Atkins Stew for dinner. Sunshine has acclimated himself to the pitfalls and dangers of the Hermon Jungle without any dire results. His jolly nature and his ability to get it done have made him successful in the club, on the football field, and, Cshall we say it or not?l-in Weston. Ever progressing, although sometimes late to senior tables, Stan has made his last year the best. Now he continues his circling of the globe,-this time pro- ceeding to Oberlin. Class: Chaplain, F.

But this was not all: for, as well as being a dependable defense man in basketball, Bart scored a hit as the English earl in the Senior play. Although by his Sem. entanglernents he has demonstrated his belief in the good old motto Variety is the spice of life, still Revell has been his rendezvous in the past. His Future?-well -ask Peg. .

Good Government This six-foot Jerseyite, who ate his first Hermon beans in September of '27, has proved himself a worthy member of the class of '28. During his year at Hermon, Doug has been so ready to enter into anything and so successful in enjoying a good time with everyone that he has made many friends. One of the first ways in which he distinguished himself was by making a hit in the Senior Play. After this presentation, he stepped out of his role of butler long enough to be the hero to a very willing heroine from Gould. Batten is plan- ning to enter Hamilton in thc fall, and we wish him as much success there as he has had at I-Iermon. Dormitory: Vice-Pres., S. '28. Club: Chaplain, S. '28, Athletic: Swimming, W.

COMMENCEMENT Issue Alan Judge Campbell Shorty Sugar Valley, Ga. Hayward , Out of the tangled wilds of China in '24 came a man whose determined pur- pose was to free that great nation from its rice pudding and Chow Mein, but who found it much more worth while to try to free Mount Hermon from beef stew. The remarkable and most astonishing thing about Shorty is the fact that 'he has never lost that enthusiasm, grit and determination which was his when he came, and which has contributed to his success here. A real sport, sympathizer, and friend to all is he,-a capable leader of men: big-hearted. true to the inner self, ever cheerful and content. Our best wishes go with you, Shorty, to Harvard and on into life. . Class: Treas., W. '26, Athletic Mgr., W. '26, F. '27. Athletics: Wrestling, W. '25, W. '26 f H J, W. '27 f H l, W.

Ever since his arrival in the Fall of '23, he has been persistently overcoming difficulties that would have discouraged many of us. We admire him not only as a hard worker but also as a quiet unassuming friend, Few of us have become well acquainted with Les, as he has not been a regular student on campus every term, but all who know him admire him for his loyalty and his sincerety. We are sure that the spirit he has shown on Her- mon's campus will win for him many opportunities of usefulness throughout his life. Club: Treas., F. '25, F. '27. Hasbrouck Eckert Christiana Christy Ilion, N. Y. Philomathean Christy hails from Ilion, somewhere in New York fsee Rand-McNalleyJ. This sleepy little hamlet lost one of its men-about-town when our black-haired youth packed his carpet bag and came to do great things on Hermon's hill. The classroom, the gym, and the dorm were scenes of his activity, and in all he showed his worth, but, when it came to a question of the Sem- Such be for silnple maids and not for queens CApol0gies to whomever it may con- cernl. Christy is as much an institution of Hermon as the 6:20 bell. Ever faithful to friend, class, and sport, he will be missed by his friends at Hermon. We wish him unlimited success at Illinois and in the years thereafter. Class: Pres., F. '25, Marshal, W. '26 3 Choragus, W. '25, Senior Hermonite Committee. Club: Pres., S. '28, Vice-Pres., F.

Charlie early cultivated a morbid rnistaste for the carniferous mosquito of the Jersey wilds and set out for higher ground. I-Iermon's hill of green appealed to this errant lad, and he joined our goodly throng. In spite of a quiet manner and a reserve, he soon became known to all. By diligence, hard work and devotion to purpose he broke into fame, making scholastic honors. Unlike the Daniel of old-he meditated in his heart to partake of the King's meat, and great was the feast thereof. And now as he leaves our hilltop and resumes his studies at Princeton, we wish him well.
