1932 PARKER IQIMBALL Philomathezm Brookline, Massachusetts . . . Nor was Jupiter more prolific . . . Adonis himself was no more desired by the fairer ones than Parker. Nor was Jupiter more prolific in his conquests. The marvel is how he managed to remain so modest and bashful. As a first tenor in the Glee Club, as the most courteous of waiters at the imperial tables, and as the entrancingly sweet Mary C'I'm a business woman j, heroine of the Senior Play, Parker will long be remembered by many, but most of all because of his noble exploits. Activities-Class: Senior Play. Club: Vice-President, S. '31, Assistant Corre- sponding Secretary, F. '30, Choragus, F. '29, S. '30, F. '30, S. '31, F. '31. Glee Club, F. '28, W. '29, S. '29, F.

This boy fexcuse it please, gentlemanj spent his first year at Hermon on the first floor of Crossley, unknown, unsung, unwatched, and unswept. During his second year he moved to the third floor, and Hermon Life began. He made the All-Hcrmon football team, had double sockets, got parlor dates at the Sem, decided to graduate in 1932, and what have you, and there you are. Now what would happen if Krcll stayed another year no one knows. Activities-Class: Vice-President Q'34j, F. '31, Athletics: Football, F. '31 H. PAUL ROBERT LINFIELD Watertow n, ltlassachusetts . . . made short work of Q21 f . . . One short year has not given Paul much time to do the many things that we feel sure he might have done had he been with us longer. He has proved himself a worthy student, and his high marks are but signs pointing to his intellectual ability yet unexplored by our mind-delving faculty, whose hearts, by the way, some say he has won by so successfully conquering good old 221 f and her broth- ers and sisters in VVoolley. With his latent charm, his friendly manner, his honest ability, and his high goal B. U. will hardly resist according him a hearty welcome and success, such as he has received here. L an si A I is KL Hayward Bronxville, New York . . . must not be classed as bashful . . . Pride in his humble heritage, a deep interest in mechanics and science, and the ability to be a desirable companion have marked E-rnie's career at Hermon. Though not a born athlete, by sheer perseverance he made for himself a position on the 1932 championship football team. He is retiring and unassuming, though he must not be classed as bashful. Judging by his career at Mount Hermon, his future will be bright and happy, and marked by many successes. Activities-Class: Commencement Issue Committee. Club: President, F. '31. Dormitory: Vice-President, F. '31. Athletics: Football, F. '29, F. '30, F. '31, Track, S. '31, Scholastic: Honors, F. '31. Prizes: McBurney. 20

1932 FREDERIC PHILIP HUBERT Philomathezm Cambridge, Mass. . . . Freddie chose to run . . . VVisdom! Yes sir-that's what is written all over the beaming features of this clever chap. And, agrees Freddie, faint heart ne'er won fair lady, and he ought to know after being class corresponding secretary for three terms. His itching fingers fnot palmj soon found other activities in being associate and news editor of the Hermorzite. When it came to cross-country, Freddie certainly did choose to run. To prove that there was something back of that broad smile, he made scholastic honors and capped the climax by making Cum Laude. Lucky, indeed, is going to be the college that gets this man.

CLARENCE HUGO Meriden, Connecticut . . . Not satisfied . . . a high-school diploma . . . Ingenious, assirluous, and agreeable describe a certain fellow on our campus whose suavity and altruistic attitude have achieved for him a place among us. Not satisfied with his high-school diploma, Clarence entered Mount Hermon to get another and thus to doubly equip himself for college. Though he has been a senior but a short time, he has profited much in experience with blind dates. Thus with experience his teacher and with persistency to conquer the seemingly unconquerable, together with his genial smile Clarence is sure to be a success. NED B. JOHNSON, JR. Philomathean Hazleton, Pennsylw ama . . . catches both in and across . . . Ned was reared among the ever-persistent Dutch CPennsylvaniaj. The class knows him by his running, the school by his frankness, but his wife by his Dutch temper. He has been consistent, cheerful, and determined to accomplish his de- sired end. Being a devotee of Isaac VValton, Ned has secured good catches both in and across the river. But then the success of a fisherman is often due to his line, yet, the only place Ned tooted his own horn was in the organization known as the Loyal Sons of Discord.

Now here is a fellow who played well with a comb, a football, a basketball, and a baseball. How he could play with that old comb ! But, there was a method in his care, for it is rumored that like every true Hermonite, he soon blazed a trail of his own whereby he didn't have to cross the river to reach Northfield. There he had, so the saying goes, interests not exactly athletic. VVe will leave that to Wally, but what we want to know is this: if fast basketball dismayed those en- trancingly curly locks, which ironing could not make straight, what will fast fiying do? Wally claims Lehigh, Lehigh claims VVally, look out, you modern aeronautical engineers, here he comes! Activities-Athletics: Football, F. '31, Basketball, F. '31, Baseball, S. '32. 19

JOHN T. BIACFARLANE Good Government West Hartford, Conn. . . . his natural good humor . . . Some four years ago came little John Thomas MacFarlane to Mount Hermon. Since then his growth in achievements has far surpassed his growth in body. In scholarship Mac has done sufficient justice to himself, while sports too have found in him a keen competitor during the past few years. What has probably made Mac especially popular on the Hill has been his natural good humor in classes, in athletics, and in club fellowship. John goes to Conn. Aggie for pre- medical training in preparation for Harvard Medical School. By compact, Mac is to become an undertaker if medicine has no allure for him, while another '32 embryonic medico will supply him with trade. Activities-Club: Corresponding Secretary, F.

But although his stay here may not have been long, it will long be remembered by those who know him best, for the personality, especially the ready smile, of this young man has won its way into our hearts. Rae's athletic ability was con- vincingly shown on the basketball court, where his style of play won for him a coveted H, Amherst College receives a fine personality, a competent athlete, and a worthy, determined leader, indeed, in Rae. Activities-Athletics: Basketball, F. '32 H. THOMAS HoLn1tooK MATTHEws Lyceum Dorchester, Mass. . . . 'ffrom the sins of the world . . . For his parent said, Out of Dorchester do I send my son. Hermon replied, From the sins of the world we accept him. And then,-from the farm's odoriferous chores to Crossley's political seat in two terms has been accomplished only by Blackie, who is known for his smile. VVhether exerting his divine right in Study Hall, tussling with his bugbear, or reflecting in the sanctified recesses of 2141, Blackie is always behind that contagious grin. No scandal has ever been heard of this prospective M. I. T. man, but it is said that Northfield claims him, as does a brunette in Dorchester. Activities-Club: Recording Secretary, S.

MA1 Good Government Keene, New Hampshire . . . remembered for the hilarity and fun . . . Ah, wha, ha. ha, ha, ho! VVhen these fellows get me laughing, sez Red, I just can't stop. And we are glad he could not, for Red will long be remembered for the hilarity and fun which he brought to senior tables. A happy heart, a serious purpose, a tenacious courage, and a plucky spirit combine to carry him over the bumps of life. He warbled in the Glee Club by day, promptly at ten tucked the Overtoun boys into their trundle-beds, and then dragged them out at midnight to stand before the judgment throne.
