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.

.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

Jodie Wfgam gadan, r. 20 Locksley Road, Newton Centre BUD The smile that xvon't COIHC OH. -Standish Born july 1, 1922 Harvard it Mx Baseball, 1938-393 Football, 19395 Hockey, 1938-39, Captain, 1939, Tennis, 1938-39, Dramatic Club, 19395 Class Book: Glee Club, 1938-393 Megaphone, 1938-39. XVhen this little ray of sunshine joined our class in january, 1938, we were all affected by his cocky manner. Bud injected new joy of living land foolingj into what had been, up till then, one of the most studious classes in the school. He is the best all-round athlete in the school, he plays number one on the tennis team, was half-back on the football team until he hurt his ankle, was the high-scoring center on the hockey team last winter, and is at present the star shortstop of the baseball team, rating high in batting prowess. Bud has been accused of not taking things seriously, but that's not true, whenever he comes to school without any work at all done, he worries about it fully a quarter of a minute before dismissing it forever from his mind. 'ABud's quick wit and snappy rcpartee cause some of us to feel like dying with laughter, others just feel like dying. VVith all his activities on the sehool's athletic teams, it seems strange that he should have time for so many outside activities, but it is said that his gray Ford is a sight familiar to all Newton High girls, and that in summer he Ends time to wander over some of the easier golf courses around Scituate in the low seventies. If Bud can add a little talent for blufling to his irrepressible good humor and pep, he will travel far in the more prosaic side of life, that of earning a living. 'd6c3v
