ADRIAN lN B KI s 1 ll 1 Good Government New York, New York 1932 IQENNICTH ALLAN Dickerson Lowell, Massachusetts . . . the terrible Jim Ma-yshark . . . The heart of a fighter, the strength of a tiger, the smile of an unfailingly good sport introduce Ken Allan. Legion is tl1e name of those men of HCFIIIOII, past and present, who have felt Ken's brawn, n111scle, and weight in athletics. Not alone, however, in athletics has Ken been famous: but also because of his experi- ence with the terrible Jim Mayshark, his battle of the French verbs and idioms, and finally, his attainment of grad11ation. Another outstanding characteristic of Ken's well-earned success is the steadfastncss and constancy with which he tackles all his diflicult problems, and it is for this reason that his high achieve- ments are possible.

'lhat Adrian has accomplished much since his arrival here can not be denied. By far his most brilliant aceoinplislnnent, however, is his fleet, flat-footed posi- tion as Mercury for the Virgil class, though, it must be added, his social suc- cesses with the fair ones, after Northfield learned the meaning of fnorsoizality, are astounding. After lllllCll heavy-browed pondering and 1n11eh exercising of his cfum-laude brain, he has decided that Amherst, rather than the Barber's College of the City of New York, will be the next place to enjoy his seriously droll Com- panionship. l'ery1f vnodo et, .flrlrianusf Activities-Class: Colmnencement Issue Committee.

VVell, he earned it. Harry has been a good worker among Hermonites. His steadiness has helped him make the goal, many others will say his cheery smile helped them. The achievement of graduation, however, is a minor detail of his Hermon experi- ences, for if he always clouts his jobs as he has clubbed socecr balls with his feet, the result will be success,-and Harry Banks.

He was born and bred on the self-same hill, was leigh Barrus. And indeed, he has been thc true-born Hermonite in all senses of the word. Never was he given to the lighter frivolities of the faster life at Hermon, nor to over-exhaustion because of study, nor to l11ldllC excitement about his operatic achievements, but, he did so love his Latin.

ARTHUR BEANE Pierian Cambridge, Massachusetts . . . excruciating propensity to make . . . Ingens Sarpedon! Because of his Ichabod Crane proportions, his surprising naivete concerning Latin derivations, his daring capriciousness in adairs both mental and emotional, and his downright good heart, Art Beane has held a place of kindly regard and pleasant memory among his fellows on the Hill. Since he believes Harvard's accent will affect him but little, he intends there to pursue his way to medicine. But Art is really serious when his friends allow it. His excru- ciating propensity to make fun out of puns shows him to be a true seeker of knowledge. Whatever happens, he will always be a large man, both physically and intellectually-Ingens Sarpedon!

The lord of the meats and drinks of the fourth-floor Triumvirate, the knight of the coffee percolator, and master of wit, humor, and simile is Vernon Beatty. His size is big, his achievements are many, and his friends are without number. Famed has he become for being the only fellow in school to be able to carry about the overgrown Fourth-of-July horn and get synchronized noises from it. Fi- nances of the H ermonite and the Class of 1932 have been skillfully handled by the meticulous red head. Found among his pet aversions are Latin, Mathematics, good old Sam, his wife's aifairs, and human sponges. He leaves Hermon to make new friends where they sing, Pm a son of a-son of a-son of old R.

There is always something to admire in the fellow who handles a thirty-hour schedule well. And Stu's interest in writing and in books of nature and poetry makes him dear to the memory of those who have known him. Because he likes to see men with their shirt collars open and dressed rather in overalls than in tuxedos, some of his classmates have thought him slovenlyg yet being truthfully natural is the only crime of which he can plead guilty. The college of Cayuga's waters will enjoy his friendly smile in the future, and another of Hermon's medi- cally inclined literary men goes to tread the cloistered halls of fame.

HerManKnight . . . When the gods blessed Garry Boetsma, what a perfectly amazing job they made-of the blessing! Keen intellectual capacity has made him, not exactly lazy, but somewhat averse to extra exertion. His soccer gifts are known to all, and even his father takes pictures of him, aptly called a one-man soccer team! Discerning judgment and a way with men have won him many friends and given him charge of initiations and banquets. Moore Cottage has proiered diversion of a lighter nature . . . blond.
