CLASS OF 1935 WILLIAM EATON BENNETT 33 Garden Street, Cambridge HBILL,H uWILLIE,n BEN Up! up! my Friend and quit your Z10ok.t -WORDswoR'rH Born May 6, 1917 Dartmouth There is a loud sound of furniture breaking in some study' Cries, shouts, and laughter are heard, and then a tall broad- shouldered fellow emerges. His coat is torn, his tie is awry, but, in his hand, he holds the symbol of victory, a piece of badly mutilated furniture. If a master happens by, this smiling youth disappears with surprising alacrity, while some innocent bystander receives a blast. This grinning wild man is Bill Bennett, the Country Day School furniture re- mover. VVhenever there is a riot or scrap or any other form of mischief, Bill can be found in the midst of the mix-up. I-Iow he gets his work done is a mystery, but he ranks well up in the class and keeps out of scholastic difficulty. Once in a great while Bill has a short fit of seriousness, but the Bill Bennett we know and like best is the kidding good-natured fellow who arrives at twenty minutes of nine every morning and immediately hunts for something to do. He's a great fellow and will do anything for anyone. So we wish him all kinds of luck after he leaves the sacred confines of the Country Day School to seek a higher education.

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!

This is Johnny Cranshaw, arriving early for school with all his work done. Cranny gets up with the roosters and makes the most out of every day. ln his quiet, unassuming way he accom- plishes a great deal. Last Fall, he took over the managerial duties of the football team, and performed a noteworthy job. This Winter he was in charge of the stage crew for the Dra- matic Clubg and this Spring he is busy whipping the 1935 Classbook into shape. Johnny handles everything he under- takes in an efficient and capable fashion. VVith all these duties, Cranny still finds time to keep his marks high and to participate in athletics. For the last two years he has played a scrapping game at wing on the hockey team, giving way to no opponent, no matter how big. In the summer time he spends his time cruising along the Maine Coast. For the past four years he has sailed his little sloop through the thickest fogs and the heaviest storms, refusing to be stopped by anything short of a hurricane. Despite his natural resistance he cannot resist feminine attractions, and is frequently seen with West Newton's fairest citizens. Besides possessing enviable abilities, he is gifted with a genial and obliging nature, which wins many a friend.
