.fdrfdur JMAMJ .xdrw!er5on, r. 2 XVoodchester Road, VVellesley Hills BUD MANDY Born February 2, 1918 Babson Dramatic Club. 1937-393 Stage Manager, 1938-393 Megaphone Staff, 1938-395 Class Book. For the benefit of the younger boys, Bud is that fellow who arrives in a snappy convertible at 8:-H, and leaves at 2:31. Therefore, unless you are in one of his classes, or a recipient of an object thrown from a third-story window, you might never see him. An exponent of the home-study system, f'Andy leaves each afternoon, loaded with books, presumably to study. But 2:35 finds him in front of Newton High and Z:-15 sees his ear parked on Canterbury Road, Newton. I always thought he lived in lVellesley. However that may be, we Seniors see him often and oft receive his fond, 'AGet out o' this study! Crash-bang! And we leave. In spite of his ardent desire for study, he does find time to play Uiudoor baseball, a game invented to occupy study-periods. 'AAndy furnished the impetus necessary to push The Ghost Train to success, a success dependent greatly on sound effects. The year before even his sterling work at the electric-lights couldn't aid Secret Service . llc has been a capable assistant to the Business Manager of the 'AMega- phone, for he always knows where to get the big ads. VV ith his ability he will surely succeed in his chosen business, for he plans to get a two-year head start by going directly to business school. 'dmv

THE CLASS UP 1939 CALM .xbiufory Of the eight starry-eyed tots who entered Country Day in September, 1931, not one has remained with us. In Class Seven, however, we were joined by those two eminent scholars, Dick Henry and Paul Haley. The next year Bob Chase joined us, and, although we were worried at times, he has been able to stand the strain of being headrnaster's son and is being graduated with us, apparently no worse for wear. In Class Three, Dick Kerr appeared and made himself prominent in extra-curricular activities and Tats Yatsuhashi joined us with his clarinet and camera. In Class Two we reaped a harvest, receiving into our midst such stellar personalities as Howie Oedel, who was changed over night from a spec- tator to a star half-back, Arthur Anderson, our unflurried, efficient stage manager, and Bud Cahan, the bouncing boy humorist of the class. XVe are proud of our record in extra-curricular activities. Kerr and Yats are the mainstays of the orchestra, the Megaphone has regularly turned out profitable issues under our management, all who were able supported the athletic teams, and, further evidence of our unity, every one of us except one who was sick had a share in the Dramatic Club's successful production this year. Unanimously called by the faculty the youngest class lmentallyj ever to be graduated from C. D. S., we all have the same likes and dislikes, and have been termed the most congenial Senior class in many, many moons. ABM:

Many Seniors have been studying Bobs work habits, but none has been able to figure out how hc can talk through a whole study period and have his Physics done at the end. Bob possesses the admirable faculty of getting work done while being sociable. Considering the fact that he spends his class periods designing streamlined cars on his notebook, and that he spends his study periods entertaining his classmates behind the locked doors of his study or else in planning and executing new practical jokes on the studies of absent Seniors, he does well in his subjects. Bobs quick and keen mind has helped him in more than class work. Right now he is manager of the baseball team. Last winter he ran the Dramatic Club pro- duction as secretary-treasurer, and almost eycry year of his six years at Country Day he has taken part in the play itself. He has spent thc fall seasons playing football. It this class book appears in print it will be mainly through the efforts of Bob Chase. In fact, he is always engaged in extra-curricular activities. It Bob would only look less 'bored in class and pretend to be interested, as some of his classmates do, he would get better marksg but, as it is, he gives masters and Seniors the impression that he never does any work, which is erroneous, because he always gets to school with his work done.
