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.

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.

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.

THE HERMONITE 15 Cary Howlett Cary Southampton, Mass. From Southampton came this son of Hercules to perform his labors at Hermon. And well did he perform them. In the classroom, on the wrestling mat. and on the gridiron Cary soon made a name for himself. We often wondered whence came the mighty physique and far-famed head-lock that so aided him. Perhaps 'Hamp' is the explanation. In the affections of his friends also he ranks highly-particularly in those of the now far-scattered and almost forgotten t'TerribIe Six. Whether Cary goes on to the scientific nursing of bovine quadrupeds or to the honorable profession claimed by most of the Presidents of the United States. we wish him luck. Athletics: Football. F.

His flaming red hair and his impetuous good nature made many a firm friend for him among students and faculty alike. Athletically, he is quite versatile, engaging in track. soccer and wrestling toccassionallyl, and also blowing up footballs and bugles. His fleetness of foot and his quickness of movement make him successful in whatever he undertakes. Socially, too. he was prominent. As President of the Lyceum Club. he represented the Club Council on the Student Council, and he was responsible for many of the improvements of club cooperation. To whatever college the Flaming Youth goes we venture to assert that the college will find in him a real man. Class: Treas., S. '27. F. '27. Club: President, W. '28. Club Council: Pres- ident, W.

This un- assuming little urchin wended his way from New Haven in the Fall of 1924 to take his place in the motley crowd of Hermon Freshmen. Dick took up his abode in cottage 2, but his hard-heeled slippers and his Bacchus-like spirit proved to be too noisy for that dormitory. In his new abode at Cottage 5, Dick developed into the all-round man. A little rough-house or a lesson in ll Pensernso, a game of soccer or a. passage in Caesar received the same careful attention. Although he claimed membership in the Bachelors Club, class parties found him in company with some Arethusa who had made a secret passage trans Humen. Our best wishes go with you, Dick.

Fd calmly walked into Hermon activities and left Boston in the cold-luckily for '2S. for his business head has proved valuable to his class and to the Hermonfte Board. Nor does Ed sit behind the desk all the time. Give him a basketball, a hockey stick. or a baseball and he makes himself right at home and often his team victorious. Fd never could find at the Sem. just the material he wanted, but never mind-a school in New York is liable to lose a good instructor one of these days. Besides possessing valuable abilities, he does not lack a sense of humor, and his character is the type Hermon will miss. Club: Debator. F. '27. Glee Club: S. '27. S.
