THE HERMONITE 13 John Vincent Friel Jack Brooklyn, N. Y. Hayward In the Fall of '24 this innocent lad left his water pistol and his short pants in Brooklyn and came to Hermon to see what a cow looked like. His first few terms were spent in a so-called daze: but soon, getting wise to his sur- roundings. he became conspicuous in campus activities. Becoming one of the outstanding men in the school. Jack joined the elite and several times made honors. He also occupied a place on the Student Council, and was active in club and class affairs. Furthermore. and this must be stated with emphasis, he never failed to enjoy his sisters at the Sem. Now he goes to the University of Alabama to find out how it is done in the South-and show 'em how he did it in the North. Athletics: Football. F, '25, F. '27g Tennis, S. '26, '27g Baseball, S. '26.

Dickerson It is a labor of love for any clammate to write of Bill Greene for for any sister classmate at the Sem, for that matterl. A grouch or a fit of the blues could be dispelled immediately by dragging oneself to Bill Greene's den to hear his cheery, Aw, that ain't nothin'. It has been whispered that on one and the same day of the week. Knot so long agol he cured the heartbreak of two cousins within fifteen minutes by a most remarkable prescription. The Cylinders welcomed him into their fold and shared him with the Dickerson Club. of which he was president as long as its constitution allowed. His favorite song is Down By the Old 'MIL' Stream. There never was a better man than our Bill Greene. Club: Treas.. S. '26g Rec. Sec., F. 26: Cor. Sec., F. '26g Pres., S. '27, F. '28. Hall: Treas., W. '26. James Wolcott Gum Jimmy Frankford, Del. Good Government . Since the Fall of 1924, everyone on the campus has known that the reechoing shout of Hi, feller and the distant approach of an expansive grin are sure signs of the coming of Jim Ginn. With a nature as warm and sunny as his whole state of Delaware, and with a spirit of comradeship that is irresistible. .lim has made countless friends, here-and elsewhere. A knack for 'fknowing how has managed to keep him out of hot water during his four years: while his never-too-serious disposition has kept him from breaking his heart over any subject. It is needless to say our best wishes go with,him wherever the fates decide-or a southern girl may lead him. Class: Pres., W. '26. S. '26g Vice-Pres., F. '25gChor. Treas. Athletics: Base- ball, S.

Good ,Government It was the Fall Term of '26 that found Henry dragging a suitcase through those towering pines without once stopping to notice their beauty. Here with Herinon's intiuence he has learned of books. human nature, true friendship, and. sad to relate, the reason why Northfield has proved a center of interest for men of Hermon for almost a hall' century. He has been active in athletics. excelling in the game of tennis. Hartz likes his music, and in his room we find the atmosphere which he uses very effectively in mystifying his visitors. Hermon bids farewell to a good athlete and a true friend, and wishes him the best of luck at Penn. State. Dormitory: Vice-Pres.. S. '28. Club: Corr. Sec'y, F. '27. Athletics: Soccer, F. '26, F.

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.

Richard Maine Hemenway Dick Hartford, Conn. COMMENCEMENT ISSUE Charles Raymond Harwood Ray Rupert, Vr. During the Fall of '26 one may have noticed this lad from the hills of Vermont quietly going about his duties on the campus. Who could then have foretold his development, into one of the highest ranking students in the class? He may, however, outgrow his aversion for the noise of social life and exchange it for tuxedo and roadster. He soon became one of King Richard's minions, doing odd jobs about the basement-learning the business from the bottom up, as it were. Ray did some good running in the Fall crow- eountry races, not taking too much time. of course, from his more serious pursuits. He goes to Middlebury next fall, and our heart-felt good wishes for the best in college life go with him. ' Athletics: Cross-country, F. '27, Soccer, F. '27. Honors: W., S., F. '27, an Dick n-it pissic tit gites of old Hermon in the Fall of '27, he quickly won our hearts by his ingratiating smile and his keen sense of humor. Immediately his journalistic tendencies asserted themselves in his work for the Hermonile and as a correspondent for the Hartford Times. In Cottage 4 Dick soon rose to the top,-in fact. so much that he successfully held alone the much desired Sky Parlor. Along with his studies and his journalism, this youth found time to read the humorous publications Ctechnique by Haldemann Juliusl. supply East Northfield with mail, and help care for the campus. His exuberant manner and his cheerfully humorous flow of 'tgab, along with his sterling Qualities, have made him man ' friends and assure his future . 1 popularity at.

Hayward Harold Zell Heuston. called Bud by his contemporaries and other names by his teachers, hails from the upper end of New York, where men are men, and the women-but that's a different story. This two-tisted, half-miling, poetry-writing young rascal has won eternal fame and everlasting affection from his classmates. He was just as much at ease in a French class as in Hillside Parlor. His wit is traditional, his athletic prowew still spoken of. He helped build the prestige of Hayward, and as number 3 clothed the Cylinders in radiance. One can pay no higher tribute to him than to say, Here was a man-when comes there such another? Class: Corr. Sec'y. W. '28, Senior Play. Dormitory: Vice-Pres., S. '27, W. '28.

It was not long before it became evident that he would become one of our '28 aggregation. As a student, John is eternally after the high grades, and some- times he gets them. ln the field of sports it may well be said that this man is not of the ordinary. He is an all-round athlete, having a special ability in football, hockey. and golf. .lack is certainly a. society eel, and it is said that he takes quite an interest in the Seminary class of '27 for a good reason.
