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.

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.

Rudolph Maslak Rudy Windsorville, Conn. COMMENCEMENT IssUE Alexander Macreff Mac Yakoruda, Bulgaria Fourteen years ago Cwhen Mac packed his Atheistic tendencies and an extra shirt and came to America-and Mount Hermonl a kingdom across the sea lost. the best cheese maker it had ever had. Desiring an education, he came to Hermon, but was forced to drop out for a while because of Hnance and health. He later returned to continue his studies, and has shown us what sheer grit and determination can accomplish, for Mac is now one of the ranking students of his class. His love of religious and philosophical dis- cussion has led him into many a keen argument, and his powers of deduction are of the sharpest. The fight has been a hard one, and we tender our congratulations to one who has conquered. Hayward Rudy Maslak is one of the few '28 men who first set foot on this campus in the fall of '24. Since then he has developed in the class and with the class. He has fought for '28 in foot-ball, in baseball, and in track. Of his club, too, he has always been a loyal supporter, Best of all, however, we are far more conscious of the true, sterling qualities that makes up his quiet, unassuming personality. As Rudy leaves for college, we wish him the best of success, knowing that, if he keeps up the steady pace he has maintained here at' Her- mon, he will do well wherever he goes. Club: Treas., F.

Archie William Nutting Archie Newtonville, Mass. Philomathean After considering many possible places to procure an education, Archie decided on the place- Mount Hermon, the time -- the Fall of '24. Apparent- ly among strangers, Archie soon won his way into the confidence and the friendship of all. There are certain admirable qualities about him, he has been consistent, ever cheerful, and determined to accomplish his desired end. In spite of the fact that there were inevitable handicaps, Archie never lost his enthusiasm, zeal, and persistency to overcome all obstacles. He is a fine scholar, a good friend, and an ever-helpful person. Along with him go our best wishes for a successful course at Oberlin. Class: Treas., F. '25. Student Council, W. 26, S.

William Gray Obear Jr Bill Washington, D. C. 7 i . Hayward Prom thc South with all tht old gallautry of the traditional Southerner radiating from him came Bill. That drawl-that humor-that smile-all products of Birmingham and Washington bore evidence that he had never driven a pair of oxen in Vermont. Quite without pretentiousness, he is charm- ing, candid, and ingenuous. Among those with whom he has mingled, which exclude none, he has been a standard. Bill's bubbling humor, his originality, and his well-known roaring laugh are a better cure for a case of the blues than the best of Mix Speakman's remedies. He possesses the ability to under- stand, the ability to forget, and the tactful ability to lend an aiding hand. Class: Marshal, F. '25, S. '26, Choragus, F. '25, Club: Treas., S.
