ALLAN BESSE Al ' airhaven High. Mass. General Cotton Eootball (1, 3 — Captain 3) The first thing everybody thinks of when Al ' s name is mentioned seems to ' S he the Draw Bridge. We think it is his good looks that has made it possible for him to offer the same excuse for lateness during the past three years. Al isn ' t always offering excuses for his work on the football field is such that nothing but praise can be heard when Besse ' s name is mentioned. Al is a first class designer and his work with Mr. Holt indicates success along this line. EDWARD L. BESSE, JR. Ed Eairhaven High. Mass. General Cotton Here is one of the original settlers of Poverty Point in Oxford. Ed is built so far from the sidewalk that if he fell down he ' d be half way home. How- ever, he is a great booster for O ' Sullivan ' s Rubber Heels as in all his three years of walking the Fairhaven Bridge he has never felt the jar. But the Union Street Railway has. We expect Ed to make a good mill man as he has plenty of patience and works hard and trusts nobodv.

ELBERT V. ADAMS Diz — Eva Taunton Hie ' h, Mass. Phi Psi General Cotton E. V. will try anything once — bar nothing. Hence the name Diz , a name that fits him as an oyster does a stew. He knows every female in the city by her first name. Every instructor knows that he is a reliable worker. His marks have always soared, especially in Cooler class where he rivals Munsell himself, and when he leaves N. B. T. S. you can be sure no grass will grow under his feet. Good luck Diz, Duff ' s Hall will miss you. Franklin, Mass. Rehabilitation HILMER H. ANDERSON Andy Delta Kappa Phi General Cotton Andy is a good natured sort of fellow and his location can always be found by following the sound of his laugh. The reason for these outbursts of hilarity is unknown, although we think the stories Charlie tells him has something to do with it. Andy underwent the usual razzing which always occurs when one of the bunch loses his mind and tells the parson I hope to tell you I do. We don ' t know how he will get along without Charlie when he leaves school, but we ' ll take a chance.

JOHN J. BLAUVELT Phi Psi Jack Passaic High, N. J. General Cotton Basket Ball (2), Baseball (1-2) (Captain 2) Jack hails from Passaic and after finishing his high school course he entered the Brighton Mills where he was first taken with the idea of being a textile leader. After two years of real hard work Jack realized that his ambition would be reached early after a visit to Textile. Not many of us have visited Passaic but from what Jack claims it must be the greatest place on earth. By virtue of his smile he has made a great number of friends but to really appreciate him you must see him behind the bat where he played as captain of baseball in his junior year. W. MACPHERSON BOYD Delta Kappa Phi Mac — Bill St. Andrews College General Cotton Toronto, Canada. Mac as he is popularly surnamed is one of those young men who believes that silence is golden. This being the case he is 22 carat. He is a foreigner but speaks English fluently. Mac can play both outdoor and indoor sports. As regards outdoor sports, he has not engaged in them during his sojourn at the school but from reports from Canada, Mac has a collection of trophies that would put a jewelry store to shame. With regards to indoor games we must say that he shakes a wicked deck and rakes them all in at every deal. William has already accepted a lucrative position in Memphis, Tennessee, where it is said he is needed badly, to straighten the kinks and bends out of the cotton crop.
