10 COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL Upon entering the third class the personnel of our group was greatly changed. Andrew, Dean, Leslie, Rowbotham, O'Donnell, and Edgar were recruited, while Eddy, Greely and Thomson, had left us. Our activity in athletics and the school organizations made the school hum. In the second class, We took control of the affairs of the school. ive placed seven men on the Football team, nine on the Hockey team, and seven on the Baseball team. The Jllegaphoize, Latin Club, Athletic Association and Illini were influenced greatly by Class II. Our independent spirit and individuality no longer could be restrained by the faculty. En masse, we became critically minded. Realizing that everyone, even masters, has perverted ideas on some slants of life, we decided to accept advice with a grain of salt and to make our own decisions to the best of our judg- ment and convenience. Not only did we form our own opinions, but we abided by them. Convinced that clothes do not make the man, we proved it to the rest of the school by appearing one morning with our virile Hgures arrayed in overalls and tattered shirts. Even those shabby and scanty rags did not detract from men like us. Our senior year has been even more glorious than all the others. With the able assistance of our new classmate, Daddario, Class I provided the spark and the power for the championship football team, and the better than average hockey and baseball teams. Under our guidance, the Dramatic Club, with Haley and Bennett starring, gave an excellent performance, and the Illega- phonf has maintained its high standards. Now that our school days have come to an end, with a lump in our throat, we look back upon our pleasant years at Country Day. We will always have a tender spot in our heart for dear old C. D. S. and sincerely hope that, some day, there will be another class as excellent as the Class of '35,

JACK, MANDY, JACKIE, HALFIEH iff I know if wha! I read in the paper?-RoGERs Born February 12, 1915 For live years Jackie has appeared every morning very early at school, exchanged views, commented on the weather, and discussed any new troubles with his car. Then he was started off to classes to get his usual high sixties. At recess, if discussion is started on any haphazard subject, Alfie then presents his wealth of news gleaned from the newspaper. If it happened to be about cars, especially Chevies, an uproar then ensues with Jackie usually on the shout end. Then the bell interrupts and the discussion ends. After two o'c1ock, if Andy is so inclined, he may be seen studying diligently so he can go out that evening, but usually his car may be seen speeding around Waban loaded with jovial youth. He is probably the biggest master-bluffer in the school CML Clarke not includedjg indeed his aptitude appears to be an art. Jackie spends his summers increasing his wealth of knowledge either by working for his relatives or breezing through thirty or forty good books, which have netted h1m many a prize in the old alma mater and much praise from Mr. VViles as being the most intellectually-inclined student in our class. Incidentally, Alfie's biggest failing is his interest in the Red Sox. Enough said!
