Alumni Day, last fall, fell on the day of the Tonawanda game, and there was a large turn-out of grads for the luncheon and game. ' A great amount of credit is due to this body for its wonderful support of the Foundation Fund Drive. The General Chairman himself came from the Alumni and the Alumni took over one of the two main divisions. Once more the Old grads returned on December 21st to greet the student body and to make merry at the annual Christmas dinner. There is no doubt but that this organization is indispensable to the school and it is to be hoped that it will support Our new Headmaster as well as it did Mr. Davies.

Accordingly, the plan vvas launched under the title The Nichols School Foundation Fund Campaign, with a goal of S350,000-a lot of money. The Chairrnanship of this Campaign was placed in the hands of one long experienced in financial affairs and also ,a great and good friend of the school, Carlton P. Cooke, to whom we have had the pleasure of dedicating this book. The Drive formally commenced on October 25th, with a dinner for all the parents, trustees, faculty and council of the school, held in the Rand Memorial Dining Room. Every other day informal luncheons were held at the Statler, in order to report on the progress made the previous day. S The most useful gift of all was made by Mr. Lars Potter, long friend of the school. Mr. Potter gave fB10,000, specifying that it should be used for the construction of a new athletic field. The field has been in process of construction for the last eight months and should be ready for use next fall. The parents, students, and friends of the school responded generously and the final total reached was S216,577.5O. ll23ll THE 199.9 1 Q ,-': I are z'-- : 1 :wuz -I. as ,.., y . .L r'1.':r'f': Tg' Zi, '-' .,,.,..'. ...L ..:..g...Lg.4....4Lg ,,., gLro.L...aMM..-..-- ....,,,..,.., O VERD IAN K x' T.',., ' f , ',T, ',,'j',. . .,.f ' ' 7 . ,'f'ZII ' X The Nichols School Foundation Fund-Continued The result, though not quite as large as hoped for, is very gratifying and nothing but praise is due Mr. Cooke his three colonels, majors and captains.

Bab can remember the days when the cone shape drinking cups used to be dropped over the banister in Albright Hall, only to hit somebody emerging from the shop, and make him shriek with pain. However, those days are gone forever, and we look to the athletic fields to study Jim at his best. He played a fine hard game as center on the invaluable second team last fall, and undoubtedly will win 1 his N in baseball. Babcock also fills the role of Bill Hart in the circus, as a talented whip cracker, much to the delight of the kiddies. jim's happy-go-lucky, carefree attitude, together with the beaming smile which is never eradicated-not even every other Wednesday-has made him one of the best liked in the Senior class. Babcock will keep Davidson out of trouble at Williams.

In a little while, people saw a different one, this time brown with orange wheels and stripes. This, as everyone knows on seeing it, means that George Birge is somewhere in the vicinity. He came to school from Taft two years ago, and finding Nichols to his liking, decided to stay. In spite of the fact that George was always saying, No, no, no, no, or Yes, sir, to the masters during class, they took no offense and he did a good job in his studies. Although no star athlete, George did a good job on the valuable second team last fall, and promises well in track this spring. Although a car helps greatly, just glance to the left Ceveryone seems to be good looking this yearl and you will see the reason for such social prowess, as is his, for Birge is the 1929 edition of Jimmy Hanrahan. He will continue to incite the faculty at Yale to further efforts.

Block is usually at his best in first period Ameri- can history. His condition at this hour of the morning often resembles a coma and some of his replies are the spice of life. The following conversation is not unusual. Mr. Pierce: Block, who was Andrew Jackson? Block: Yeah-h-h. Mr. Pierce: What's that? Block: Yes, sir!

Cann, fortunately, is usually in the vicinity and helps the latter out. Burrows is picked on in other ways also. After helping to found the Nichols Commercial Club, the members of which are familiarly known as the boys, he was elected President of this useful organiza- tion. After taking a glance at this corporations club rooms, we suggest that George go into interior decorating instead of College. Another achievement of Burrows which should be men- tioned is the very excellent program which he put out for the Minstrel Show. Besides producing the program, he produced the sensation of the shovv, when his suspenders suddenly gave vvay in mid-stage entirely without his permission. The walls of the Erlanget are still echoing with laughter. Another Freshman for the WhartonfiSchool. 3. f wa, V Q 3 ,f?fg'? -.

The school is still H in the daze produced by Cantor's Hrst appearance here Ctwo weeks lateb. Cantor dropped his title of Earle about two days after he arrived, when he was given the nickname Eddie Since a nobleman must have some occupation after he has dropped his title, Eddie assumed the position of Coach of football, with Mr. Fellowes as his assistant. The only argument that arose against his having this office was that he did not let his assistant have anything to say concerning the coaching of the team, and as said assistant was being paid for his services, it was decided that Eddie should discontinue. Our hero did not let this worry him in the slightest, however, and he became a very good end on the team, often terrifying his opponents by the fierce gleam which crept into his eyes. After a little work, Eddie was able to get another position. This time with Dr. Ai1inger's quintet in basketball. He is still arguing with the referee at the time this book goes to press.

Let me have men about me who are-. Fortunately for us, however, Bruce saw that there might be some in this generation who expressed the same desire, so he picked out time to live. Seriously, however, Bruce has been a big asset to the school during his sojourn here. He played a fine game as guard on the pigskin kickers' group and also has graced the baseball diamond for the last two Springs. Two other things about the lad on the left must not be forgotten, his ever-present willing- ness to beat somebody up-just mildly-and his 3, ' 'luu V . 4, love for singing.

Think K1 of the honor that would come to a teacher who could force Cosbey to pay attention! Jim is almost an institution at school and we are sure that some of the masters will be quite sad next year when they discover that the familiar Cosbey snores are missing from their classes. Nevertheless, Jim's marks are usually above the average and his name is often on the Honor Roll. Another of Jim's remarkable feats is to miss play- periodn for Weeks at a time with no excuse and no demerits. Cosbey's handsome features were seen in the Minstrel Show this year and retained their handsomeness although blemished by his Afri- can disguise. Oh! we forgot something! jim has a car QD and when not in school Working QD, he may be seen driving down the Avenue.

The time has come, however, and If 'twere done when 'tis done, then 'tis well 't were done quickly. One of the things Lloyd most excelled in was his ease in sort of missing athletics.

No need to tell you that that comes from the lips of our Uncle Alex on the sidelines of an athletic struggle. When not on the sidelines our sterling giant guard is holding down the left side of the line. Indeed, our opponents took such affection to our sterling giant that they missed his eyes and broke his nose, which laid him up for the season. Nothing daunted, Bill immediately started out at the bigger and better game of hunting Delaware buses with his new Ford. But looking at the other side of Bill, one finds a long list of worthy accomplishments. He received the greatest honor of all, President of p the Senior Class, and he assisted the hockey team in the capacity of Manager, he also represented the school abroad last summer. We came in danger of losing Bill, when, during the winter, while he was making one of his calls on Harry Thornton at Kleinhans, someone mistook him for an Arrow Collar advertisement, and tried to buy him off in favor of some other collar company. However, he remained to finish up his school career. Bill will attempt to run 'down the faculty at Williams.

DAVID KING DONALDSON BORN: JZNZ6 8, 1911 ENTEREDI 1924 THE remarkable fact about this student is his silence, indeed, we hardly feel that we know him in spite of the fact that he has been with us some time. We sup- pose, however, that he has great ambition, for he invariably signs his name, D. King Donaldson, something like Boss Tweed. D, as he has been nick- named, will not go into politics, we feel sure, for seldom has he been heard to argue, and never to raise his voice above a whisper. He is another member of the silent squad Qthose who romp around the tennis courtD, and any day in the Spring or Fall, he may be seen rushing down the hall of the gym toward the rear door, in order to beat someone else to the courts. It is rumored that he haunts the squash courts in the winter season, but we have never seen him there. I A P.

But this trait coupled with a mind that works like a Swiss watch has made Stan about the only high honor man of his class. just glance at the face on the left, dear readers, and you will agree with us that it is a shame that Stan, with his sparkling eyes, didn't try out for the feminine roles of Mr. Gilland's troupe, or the tight rope lady in the Circus. Stan was a loyal member of the underweights, and every day last year could be seen trudging over to the gym with a blanket under his arm, for a short snooze.

Harris is one of the most industrious members of the class in regards to studies.

So Nichols became acquainted with Jakiel-the first of the Tech mastodons that migrated to our plant during the past year. Since then Jakiel has shovvn us several thingsg among them, a peerless brand of football and a not so peerless brand of marks. Jake vvas one of the mainstays of our tri-state championship football team, and his absence next year will be keenly felt. We were fortunate in having Jake's com- pany until the mid-years, when, quite suddenly and unexpectedly, he left our midst for other fields, and novv some business concern, we imagine, is lucky enough to have the name Edward Jakiel on its ledgers.

Little Sapo- N1 leon Miles, as he is affectionately called, will long be remembered through these school halls as the boy who never grew up. Miles is one of the few students whom Mrs. Minthorne has been unable to help in a material way. But, seriously, Miles leaves an enviable record in his dealings with the publica- tions. This year, he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Nichols Newr. He also held a responsible position on the Gleaner Board. In fact, toward the end of the year,it became diffi- cult for Miles to keep his name from appearing in his paper. Actually, one issue of the News devoted a column exploiting Miles of the Vagabond school of poets. The article con- tinued saying that he also possessed a choice of vivid, colorful, beautifully blended words. One wonders who has had his ear to the Newx Room keyhole. Miles will continue his vagabonding 'mongst the poets at Columbia.

And since then, Morey has been tarred and feathered into several jobs around school. ln fact, for a time last winter when this volume vvas at its rush period, some began to think that he was becoming demented. Probably because of his numerous jobs, he. received the curse of the Senior Class, the largest vote for biggest drag with faculty. This, of course, is rather like holding a red rag in front of a bull. Although no athlete, Morey succeeded in scraping together a rattling good game of squash with which he squelched most of his C opponents, and when Doll and he got going, it began to look like a prize fight. in France, but fortunately, his sidekick Jo vvas also on foreign duty last summer Davidson vvas along to keep him out ofmiSC1'11Cf- A year' at Exeter before Yale for Morey.

Visions of Mr. Hall sitting, dangling legs in the plunge, while Burge is scrubbing, not rubbing, down the team in the shower! With his long legs, Morrell also had great sport last fall in booting the soccer ball around. Approaching a little fellow, he would wait until the boy would almost hide it, then reach out a long leg, rather like the tentacle of an octopus, and politely remove the ball to other parts of the field. Morrell, we must add, has seldom been amiss from the Honor Roll in the last two years-probably a habit by now. He will raise lvlorr-ell at the University of Buffalo.

This year proved no exception, and the school received Gordon Muckler to act in this capacity. In spite of this youth's ordinary silence, he surprised the school very soon by gracing the high honor roll the very first mark period. From this time on, hovv- ever, he stayed Within his shell, and except for an occasional game of squash with Mr. Schiferle, he could be found behind the counter at ,the other end of the gym, but here he was usually acting in his position of clerk. Undoubtedly, Muckler has been in prep school so long because of his high ambitions for College.

Whether Sam learned to pitch in the Summit Avenue Club we don't know, but he puts more curves into a baseball than a pretzel with St. Virus' dance. If Adolph Zukor does not see him first, Sam will join the Dramatic Club at Lehigh. 'Wk -.4-,.

SMITH, Ill V BORN: September 29, 1911 ENTEizED: 1925 ENRY P. SMITH, Ill, arrived at Nichols for the opening of school in September, H 1925. Although Hank is bright, he comes from North Tonawanda, the exception proves the rule. Along athletic lines, Hank never had any outstanding ability, but by hard plugging he developed into good track material last spring. Last fall, on returning home from abroad he showed up well at football. Although he did not make a letter, he doubtlessly would have if he had not tried out for fullback, which was so proficiently filled by Captain McDougal and Cramer, both veterans x p , in Offhfcc Ycafs- 1?5EQQQJf 'iris +'ll.iQ't53 K: Another trait which Hank possesses which ' i ' 4' 'A ' other fellows from wild and woolly North Tonawanda have lacked, is failure to get in up in denmfhs- Henry was one of the fortunate boys whom the school picked out to do foreign duty this summer. He was selected to show the Danes how a model American boy looks and acts. ' ,, -Ag',,. Smith has been a big asset to Nichols as may be seen by the numerous activities he 'ig, s ' .1 has taken part in since his entrance, and although he has not decided between Dart- 'i's '.'.

IWW 23, 1911 ENTERED: 1926 WE are here introducing, Ladies, Gentlemen, and others, the man vvho is responsible for that very interesting section in the back of this book which advises our readers what to buy. Since arriving at Nichols, Walker has risen to great heights, both physically C6 ft. 3 inj and scholastically. He was the most informed of all his classmates in the General Information Test of 1927, and took second place the following year. While at school, Walker may be seen at almost any time yelling from the VERDIAN Room window at small children. He is tryingito tell I them that their class pictures are ready to be l given out. Or else he is saying that if they vvant their copies of the Newr, it would be wise to come and get them. Bill has taken tvvo hard positions on the staffs of both the Newf and the VERDIAN, and like all great men, he must have recreation, so he gets his exercise carting the hurdles about in the capacity of track Manager. Bill vvill haunt the campus of Hobart.

ROBERT WARNER BORN: February 16, 1912 ENTERED: 1926 NE of the most amusing sights around the school is to see Warner working on the masters for marks. His undying persistence in trying to get a drag is one of the jokes ofthe school. However, judging from his marks, it all goes to help-. Besides studying, Bob amuses himself by taking pictures for the Newf, having received his training under the great Charles Duffy. About the end of the year, he really learned how to use a camera and took some excellent pictures.

James Waterbury. After having inspected our plant,,' Mr. Waterbury decided that Nichols was to be the favored school that would have the honor of listing his name among its enrollment. Thus Nichols came to know Jim, Since then, Waterbury has proven his worth in several fields. He was instru mental in the production of this year's Minstrel Show in the capacity of Costumer. Jim also was one of the big guns in Mr. Pierce's soccer aggregation of '28. Aside from these achievements, Jim can point with pride to the Nichols Transportation Corporation of which he holds the executive office. Waterbury and his Buick have ably filled I the vacancy caused by the departure of Davenport and his Chevy of the '28 Class. Next fall, when Jim joins the army of job hunters, he will carry with him the best wishes of both the faculty and the student body.

When this lad first came to us, he was noted for his unusual shock of hair. Indeed, it seemed as though he were becoming prepared to take Herby Straub's place some day. However, Whitcomb is different from the latter in that he has an exceptional knowledge of music and the organ.

Anyone connected with any sport knows to what extent this Board is the foundation, the parent and the helping hand to athletics at Nichols. It is certainly a pity that more people do not realize this value, and that the Board does not seem to be known of or appreciated by the student body. The duties of this Board are to supervise athletics in general, to assign funds to the managers in their respective sports, to formulate all eligibility rules, and to consider any situation arising, concerning athletics at Nichols. The Board is composed of one member of the Board of Trustees, three representatives of the Faculty, and two of the Alumni, These men arezu MR. LARS POTTER, Chairman MR. RAY G. SCHIFERLE MR.

There were bright prospects for a fine team. Pitching and infield material was abundant. As things turned out, however, the team was continually at a disadvantage on account of injuries sustained by some of the strongest players, thus forcing Coach Fellowes to remake the whole infield from time to time. This happened three times during the season, when Eames suffered a broken thumb during practice, McDougal threw his knee out during the Shaw game and Peters hand was spiked in the North Tonawanda game at Nichols The season opened with a victory over the Faculty The game in spite of the snow which fell at intervals was most exciting ln all four home runs were scored two by the masters and two by the Varsity The game ended 5-2 in favor of the Varsity The day following brought the first real game of the season The team Q wx ' . b ' 1 l 3 ' U ' 3 W ' . played fine ball to overwhelm De Veaux 9-3. Peters starred, being credited with a home run and twelve strikeouts. Lancaster fell next victim, 2-1. Fischer after a two year lay-off, pitched the game in fine style. The Hamburg game revealed Simmons in good form. Nichols won 8-4. l83l THE 1929 ra TTTTT' i s , as a 4 , . , esta Q , ' ,, .M . , ,. .. ,, , . tc ,.., A .,,v,v,, ,.a.J.,a,......,-.,...,,, -N . . .- 4, ., , , O VERDIAN R A ' -- -.--.--.. -..-.. ... -.. -.. .. . ..

The game ended 8-3. In the St. Joe game, Nichols played extremely well to win 7-6. Frazee, substituting, smashed out two doubles. Again Peters scored a home run, his third for the season. The team then journeyed to Niagara Falls to suffer the first defeat of the season, 5-14. Play was extremely ragged, especially on the part of the outfield who missed many chances. Niagara Falls High School had, however, a very well balanced team. The Shaw High School of Cleveland administered the second defeat, 10-2. lt was in this game that McDougal, while running in for a grounder wrenched his knee. Mac was lost for the remainder of the season, a severe blow to the infield. Peters pitched a fine game, yet support in the field was sadly lacking. North Tonawanda took the next game, 11-3. The all-around play of McDougal was missed greatly. Niagara Falls came back to us a few days later to win another loose game of baseball, 13-7. Nichols came back in its old form to defeat Shadyside's strong aggregation 1-O. Learn, who had been playing ex- tremely well at short stop, made his debut as pitcher. He allowed Shadyside two hits, while Nichols got four. Curtiss collected three of these, the last of which scored the winning run.

Peters was lost for the rest of the season when his hand was spiked. On the first day ofjune, the Nichols 1928 Varsity defeated a mixture of past Varsity baseball teams. The old guard was no match for the team as was revealed in the fact that the entire squad played. That night the team journeyed to Cleveland to be beaten the following day, 25-O. What the trouble was no one has been able to ascertain. Nichols in all respects had the superior team. University School lost to Shadyside 8-O. Inasmuch as Nichols won from Shadvside, the team needed only to play ball to win. The team did remarkably Well, hovvever. Coach Fellowes is to be congratulated on the result, for it was extremely difficult, on account of the numerous injuries, to weld together any fixed combination. Next year, with many letter men back, Nichols might surely have a Eine team. Cf? lS5l QUHIIUUL S II QU! 'LILQIJD AV CARTER, Manager STAFFORD, Captain MR. CAPE, Coarb 1 'E , xx e F A va 2?

O 4 . .L,, -- The Track Season I TRACK coach, plenty of hard work, and a star captain can do wonders with a squad of what seems to be average material. Perhaps, there was material a little better than et average. There was one letter man back, Captain Fritz Stafford, and this star, along with ,N Everhart and Wesley, formed what is called the backbone of the track team. It was enough 2 l of a backbone to win many hurdles, sprints and mile races during the season, but that's a Xgjilih different story. fa Our first chance up against an outside team was on April 28th when we competed with V I Niagara Falls High School. Niagara Falls brought their usual well-balanced, strong team up, 4 a and as a result we lost 62 to 42. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, except Captain Staf- V7 ri M ford took first place in the low hurdles, high hurdles and quarter mile, and Peters a first in 4-l T4 the shot-put. That counted for all the firsts we took. l . 4 r M L' The next meet, on May 5th, was a dual meet with Lancaster and Kenmore, and was one , which certainly showed our improvement. The meet early developed into a battle royal y between Nichols and Lancaster, as the score signifies. Dempsey of Lancaster was the individual Eli, star of the day, taking first in the 100, 220 and shot-put, while Seitz of Lancaster took two T Firsts and two seconds. Those two fellows alone accounted for five of Lancaster's six first places. Nichols tallied five firsts. Needless to say, this meet bolstered up the school's spirit, and everyone expected great things from the team in the next meet with North Tonawanda on May 17th. ll90ll THE IQQQ VERDIAN .. .

Everhart and Wesley each took two Hrsts and the relayg Purdy, Cramer, Augspurger and Everhart won for the first time of the season. This meet showed that there was something great to be expected from the team, and so everyone was hopeful. And for the second time they were not disappointed. On May 19th, we beat Lockport High School 53M to BZM. Our superiority is easily shown from the fact that we gathered seven lirsts as against Lockport's three, Captain Stafford, as usual, was up among the scoring leaders, with Morgan, and Gates of Lockport. Each of the three scored ten points, Morgan coming through with a first in both the mile and the half mile. The same relay team lost this time. Neverthe- less, this meet proved that we were stronger in the running events than the field events, and a hard week of practice ensued for the big meet on June Znd. And then came the climax and conclusion of the track season. ln the first triangular meet in our league, Nichols met Shadyside and University School at our own field. The preliminaries were held at ten in the morning and the finals at two o'c1ock in the afternoon. There was an enormous crowd out to see this last meet of the season. University School came first with 81 points, Nichols next with 27 points and Shadyside third with 18 points. As the score shows, Univer- sity was by far the superior. They took a big lead from the start, and kept adding to it regularly. Then it was a contest to see who would get second place, but Nichols finally emerged on the long end. ll91ll THE 1929 VERDIAN . . .-. - s bA use , ,-,,,,, .

S. did not win without a light, however. There were four records broken in the three schools-the relay, the mile run, the high hurdles and the running broad jump. The most spectacular part of the meet, however, was the record of Saxe of U. S. Out of six field events, he took five firsts and one second, enough to win the meet single-handed. U. S. showed its superiority manifestly in the sprints, taking first in nearly every one, including the relay. Captain Stafford, as usual, took both hurdles, This meet ended the season. As far as the meet goes, it was a great stimulant to Nichols' track, and also to Shadyside and U. S., and great things are expected in the next triangular meet in 1929. The season was only an average one, as is shown by the resume-won 2, lost 1, and second in two triangular meets, and praise is due to Captain Stafford, Coach Cape and Manager Carter and to the squad which showed fine spirit throughout the season.

M - - The Football Season GN September 10th, nearly twenty-five candidates for the 1928 football team responded to the call of our Coach, Mr. Fellowes. As time went on, this group waslincreased from twenty-five to more than thirty. Among these were five of last year's letter men, Cheney, Maher, McDougal, Captain, Everhart and Cramer. The second week of practice saw the addition of Mr. Earle Wingate of ,Miha Morristown to the coaching staff. His work in coaching the line was of Q J great value. Q f The team, with the exception of the five veterans, was composed mainly y of newcomers. Those who stood out among these were Neal and Jakiel, both of last year's Tech High School team. These two and Brown, a tackle, with the backfield positions occupied by veterans, played against Lockport on Y October 5th. Nichols won by a score of 18 to O. The hrst touchdown was the result of a pass, Neal to Maher. The other two scores were made on breaks, the first a blocked punt on Lockport's five yard line, the second an intercepted pass by Hoefler. The latter and Maher showed up well in the game. ll 96 ll THE 1929 r VERD IAN -n w i s ,. - ., , ,, u . , Z , -ii ..,, N.Iq.., 1 1,, w1,, ., ,,,, , , The following Saturday, Alumni Day, Tonawanda came to Nichols with a more seasoned team than ours, and as a result came out the long end of a 15 to O score. Everhart stood out for the Green and White in this game. On Friday, October 19th, Nichols was defeated by a rather surprisingly strong team from Lancaster High School. The teams battled evenly for three quarters, but in the final period, our line weakened and Lancaster scored two touch- downs in quick succession. The final quarter was played in almost total darkness and a driving hailstorm, which caused the players to be practically indistinguishable from the side lines. This was the poorest showing the team made all season. The following Saturday we went to Cleveland and registered our second victory of the season at the expense of the University School, thus avenging last year's defeat by this school. This was Captain McDougal's first game and his fighting spirit helped greatly to keep up the morale ofthe team. Besides McDougal, Fleischman on the line, and Ever- hart at quarterback stood out for Nichols. The score ended 6 to O. ln the second of the two big games, we took possession of the Cleminshaw Cup for another year by defeating Shady- side by the score of 12 to O, which plainly showed our superiority over the Pittsburgh team which also conquered us last year. Both touchdowns were scored by Everhart on long runs of 55 and 60 yards. Captain McDougal, as well as Everhart and Brown, stood out prominently for Nichols in this game. The season ended with a defeat at the hands of St. Joe's, 12 to O, on Friday, November 9th. This score, however, does not do credit to the Nichols' team, which could easily have won by one touchdown.

We can only say in appreciation of their work that Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Wingate did a fine job, and we hope they will be with us again next year. A great deal of credit is due to Joe Morey, who handled the job of Manager very creditably. Also much praise should be rendered to Captain McDougal, due to the fact that he had sustained a knee injury in early season practice. He played in only two games, but his presence on both occasions was in a large part undoubtedly the cause for victory.

The Hockey Season, 1919 THis year the hockey team had but one letter-man from last year's team upon whom to build a team, everyone else being green, not having played Varsity hockey before. Next year only two of the team are leaving, so we expect to have a championship team for a few years to come. Nevertheless, in spite of the fact that the team was inexperienced they did their best and had a very good season. There were but two games in which the opposing team surpassed us by large scores. These were the Morristown and the Princeton Freshmen games. All other matches we won or else lost by very close scores. Underneath this brief synopsis we will describe, with a little detail, each game as it appeared in the eyes of the public. The first game, which was held onjanuary 12th at the new Fort Erie Arena, was with John Marshall High School of Rochester. Since it was the first game of the season, the team was very nervous and required the first period to straighten out. However, as soon as they felt at ease they played good hockey. ln the first period Conover scored by clever stick- handling through the John Marshall team. His goal was followed by one from Breaker. Conover scored another and was followed by Burns. ln the third period, Nichols scored more goals. Thomas inserted the first and Curtiss and Breaker, through perfect teamwork, scored. The game ended with Nichols at the long end of a 7-O victory. Lefty Frew refereed. In the second game of the season, Nichols showed its inexperience by allowing itself to be beaten 3-4 by Bridgeburg High at the Peace Bridge Arena. Our team did not seem to be playing quite the hockey that was expected of them. In the first period Thomas and Breaker both scored. In the second Bridgeburg held Nichols scoreless and scored two goals. The last period decided the game, Thomas scoring one for Nichols and one of the Bridgeburg defense men scoring two for the opponents. On january 26th, the Central Collegiate Institute edged out Nichols by a 2-1 score at Nichols, the game lasting an H 102 ll THE. 1929 A VERDIAN ,.A.. .. .. - .

The third period was a heartbreaker for Nichols. Pitt scored a goal for Hamilton while the Green and White didn't seem to be able to score. An extra period was played and Hender of Hamilton scored the winning goal. February lst was a happy day at Nichols once more. The Green and White played Bridgeburg for the second time and trimmed them 3-O. In the first period Johnny Thomas succeeded in scoring the first goal of the game. Both teams fought hard, but Nichols outplayed the Canadians. The second period also was in our favor insomuch as Hopkins scored the third goal. The rest of the third period afforded many thrills, but no tallies' were made. A few days later the team toured up to Oakville, where a game was scheduled with the Appleby School. The Appleby team had a different system of passing than any that our team had experieneced before, and as a conse- quence of this and of the rough ice, despite the efforts of Burns and Thomas, our men were defeated by a 2-O score. The next game was fast, hard fought, and well played, on the part of both Nichols and Lake Lodge. The visitors took us quite by surprise, starting in the first period with two goals. The home team fought hard, nevertheless, and the score was raised to 2-4 in the visitors' favor. The next game was characteristically called a wow for Nichols. The Shadyside team from Pittsburgh were the victims of a picturesque slaughter by our team. The visitors did not show as good hockey as was expected of them, per- haps because they were not used to our rink. The Nichols team made two goals in the first period due to Curtiss' expert handling of the puck. Thomas scored and both Burns and Conover did exceptionally good defense work, keeping Shady- side from netting a single goal. The game ended with the Nichols boys feeling quite satisfied with themselves and the score, which was 5-O in our favor. A week passed before Nichols was given the chance to settle its feud with Lake Lodge.

The Lake Lodge team seemed a little over-confident at the beginning of the game, due to their recent victory over us a few weeks before. They lost their over-confidence very soon, however. Lake Lodge scored first but Burns evened the score with a very neatly placed shot from the center of the rink. Prom then on the game was nothing but a mass of skates, sticks, and legs, and the third period ended with the score still 1-1. Therefore, after a brief parley, the coaches and referees decided to have two extra periods of ten minutes each. Qne of the Lake Lodge teamsters slipped a goal in during the first extra period and frightened the Nichols sympathizers slightly, but they were soon cheered up again by Burns who evened the score again. That game, which ended 2-2, was probably the most thrilling game of the season. The annual game with the Princeton Prosh came next, and, as usual, we lost. The rink was quite a bit larger than any that we were accustomed to, but the team played a good, steady game. Princeton scored in the first and second periods and Nichols scored in the last period. Burns and Conover showed good defense work in the last period, keeping the opponents from scoring. The Morristown game, played at Princeton, came next. The start was fine for Nichols. Thomas took the puck to the enemy's goal time after time, but was not able to net it more than once. In the last two periods the Morristown team gave a fine exhibition of hockey, and the last game of the season ended with the score 5-1 in favor of Morristown. With the fine hockey material that is left from this year's team, Messrs. Thornton and Bailey should be able to pre pare a championship team for next year. ll104ll HOWLAND, Manager MCDOUGAL, Captain DR.

Dr. james Ailinger was confronted with the task of welding together a team from untried material. With the exception of Captain Eliot McDougal, not one letter-man of the '28 team was available. Berger, Rand, Bagley, and H. P. Smith, of last year's squad, as well as Howe, Husted, Greene, Jordan, Cantor, and Becker showed promise. Unfortunately, Captain McDougal injured his knee in practice shortly before the first game, and consequently, the team was forced to play the early part of the season without his services. The season opened Friday, December 7th, with a game on our court against Hamburg. Both teams played ragged basketball, and although Hamburg was poorly coached they won 12 to 24. The loss was due to nervousness and in- experience on the part of the Nichols team. Learn of Hamburg was high point scorer, closely followed by Howe of Nichols. Berger, Cann, Bagley, and Howe composed the starting line-up. The following Tuesday, the same line-up started against Akron. Once more ragged play predominated. Nichols, how- ever, won the game 24 to 12. Howe was the outstanding star of the game. Nichols next met Kenmore on the latter's court. The Kenmore quintet was by far the most powerful team the Green had met thus far, and the suburbanites showed an exceedingly smooth offensive in gaining a 45 to 10 decision over our team. Stupf and Powell of Kenmore, and Howe of Nichols were outstanding. The following Tuesday, North Tonawanda visited our court. Mainly due to the offensive ability of Wendell, Tona- wanda's Captain, North Tonawanda won 37 to 21. Berger was high scorer for Nichols. Lockport next opposed our team on our court. After four quarters of rather ragged play upon the part of both teams, Lockport emerged with a 21 to 16 verdict. Once again Berger was high point man.

The score was 56 to 19. McDougal, playing his first game, Cantor, Becker, and Howe excelled for Nichols. The team showed a smooth running efficiency hitherto sadly lacking. On the following Tuesday, Nichols continued its winning streak, this time at the expense of De Veaux. The game was exceedingly hard fought and only in the final minutes of play was the Green sure of victory. The score: 19 to 15. Mc- Dougal played best for Nichols and Finch for De Veaux. The team next journeyed to Rochester and met john Marshall. For three quarters the Green and White led, only to lose, 31 to 26, in the final period. The playing of Van Rand, Nichols high point scorer, and McDougal was outstanding. Three days later Nichols met the Canisius College Frosh on our court. Led by Eddie Decker, center and Captain, the Frosh romped to a 39 to ll victory. Howe and Becker featured on the Green quintet. The following Friday our team met one of the strongest teams they had faced as yet in the form of the U. B. Frosh. Pryor of U. B. was the outstanding player. The score: 40 to 11. Nichols suffered another defeat when they met the Niagara University Frosh. A disastrous second period in which the Frosh outscored our team by 17 points, the ultimate margin of victory, was the downfall of Nichols. Schweitzer scored 13 of the Frosh's 41 points, while Howe and Cantor scored most of Nichols' 24 points. ln the return game with De Veaux at De Veaux, Nichols lost a hard-fought contest 21 to 16. Smith for De Veaux and Husted for Nichols were the high point scorers. Once more, Nichols could attribute its loss to one disastrous period, in the third quarter. De Veaux scored eight points and Nichols none. The Buffalo Normal Reserves next engaged our team. The game was extremely raggedly played, both teams frequently if 109 11 THE 1929 VERDIAN , - , F . . i g .f N' ggg.1L,.L:...'.....: ,.., s...--aaga:4..4...a.:...:.:.ga..i.,,-.... ...,,.

Howe of Nichols was high scorer of the game, closely followed by May of Normal. On the following Saturday Nichols played the first game of the Seifert Cup series against Shadyside of Pittsburgh on our court. The team avenged the 19 to 15 defeat which the Shadyside quintet had given us the year before, and took a 29 to 17 decision in an exciting game. In this game Nichols acquired the smooth running efficiency and fighting spirit for which Dr. Ailinger strove the whole season. Follansbee proved to be Shadyside's outstanding player, scoring 10 of his team's 17 points. Suffering a noticeable let-down of form, Nichols took a 24 to 14 lacing from St. Joseph in the final game of the home season. Bagley and Husted excelled for Nichols and Wietag for St. Joe. With this game, incidentally, went the prep school championship of Buffalo. For the hnal game of the season, Nichols journeyed to Cleveland to meet University School. In an oversided game Nichols lost 18 to 47. Nothing but praise can be given the U. S. team. It certainly had the smoothest defense, the cleverest handling of the ball, and was the nicest team Nichols faced during the entire season. In Miller and Saxe, U. S. had two real stars. These two players accounted for 27 of their team's 47 points. Although the season was not quite as successful as it might have been from the point of view of victories and defeats, it was quite successful from the point of view of developing and teaching inexperienced men basketball. Since the entire team with the exception of Bagley and Cantor will return next year, Coach Ailinger has visions of a championship team for next season. Murray Howland arranged an excellent schedule and proved a very efficient manager throughout the season. The VERDIAN extends its best wishes and heartiest congratulations to Manager-elect Himmel.

In fact, they were perhaps the most successful of any of this winter's teams. With a total of eleven meets, they won seven meets and lost but four. Nichols won every meet that we swam in our pool, showing by their practice they became so accustomed to our small pool that in a larger pool they were more or less handicapped. The interform meet on December 14th and 15th uncovered some sparkling new talent in McDonnell, a former lower schooler, and Seelbach, who entered our institute from Hamburg High. ' The season started offwith a bang when Nichols trounced the strong Niagara Falls aggregation by the close score of 27 to 25. Following close on this meer, Nichols overwhelmed North Tonawanda on january lst, by a 37 to 12 score again in our pool. Next came John Marshall on 'january 12th from Rochester, a team which we thought would be strong, but before our veteran splashers they sank by the one-sided score of 43 tO 7- This IUCCI Was the high Spot Of the SCHSOH- A week later, Nichols journeyed to Rochester to run up against one of the strongest swimming teams in western New York, and were defeated, 17 to 40. However, not a bit down-hearted, the following Tuesday, January 23rd, they again came out on top over Tonavvanda, 26 to 24, at home. A week later at Kenmore, Nichols defeated the same team, 46 to 14. In the return meet with North Tonawanda, Nichols again turned in a win, this time 38 to 21. On February 14th, we journeyed to Tonawanda and there, due to the large pool and a number of illnesses, were bested by a previous defeated jjillijj THE 1929 VERDIAN g .. 4 if 'SuSSS-ssfssssrszsrestszfssssss-afar wil ' ' 'J '--' ,.., . ., ,, ... ., .,,,,, .1 . ,,,..

This meet was by far the most interesting and thrilling of the season. The entire result lingered on the relay, which U. S. won taking the meet 23 to 28. To end the season, Nichols again was defeated by the much-improved Niagara Falls team in their pool 16 to 43. The swimming season was without a doubt very successful. In our own pool, we had truly a great team. Captain Garono was the high point scorer, followed closely by Bill Seelbach, Ben McDonnell, Fran Frazee and J. Greene. The entire team will be at hand next winter and under the expert guidance of Coach Hall ought to finish the season with no de- feats. Credit is due to Burge Morrell who faithfully performed the duties as Manager for the swimmers. ill mi THE 1929 I . . g ,E ,, Y' g,,.a.. W, .L ..,,,. .,,., ,,,, ,,,, Q., ,WJ ,,,.

Beside the large number of new men, there were six veterans: Garono, Shaw, Wesley, Himmel, Simmons, and Baxter. Incidentally, Louis Garono is serving his second term as Captain of the team. The first game of the season was played when the team, still in early season form, won a decisive victory over De Veaux, on October llth. The score was 3-O. Five days later, Elm Vocational School suffered defeat at our hands, 6-O. Capt. Garono and Dick Himmel starred. Although the next game, which was played with John Marshall High School, was not played until the team had rested for ten days, our team lost. This may be reconciled, however, by the fact that soccer is the only recognized sport at John Marshall. The next day our boys tied a hard-fought game with the University School of Cleveland, 3-3. Four days elapsed before Nichols was fated to lose a game to McKinley Vocational School. McKinley scored three goals in the first half, the team, however, staged a great comeback in the last. Himmel played a fine game in the last half, and the game ended with a score of 3-4. Three days later, our team displayed its skill by easily holding Western Reserve to a tie. A very interesting game came next, with Gow School in which a very amusing incident took place.

The score was 1-O in our favor, when, all of a sudden, one of our opponents, evidently thinking that one goal was not enough for us, proceeded to afford amusement to the watchers of the game by kicking the ball into our goal. The game ended with a score of 2-O. Three days later our team held De Veaux to a tie where the large field at De Veaux tired the Nichols players. The next game was with the Peckham School. The team succeeded in rolling up 4 points to their O. Evidently our players thought that one victory of that kind was not enough, for they went out two days later and defeated Gow School 4-O for the last game of the season. Altogether, Coach Pierce considered the season quite successful and he hopes for a large number of veterans next year. There is some talk of soccer being made a major sport. If the team does as well as last season, it certainly deserves large N's. fi Lkifj H1193 t VERDIAN ir HE 19 2 Q ,i T er - aiagfef-a:. if V O iaibi aa z za-iaafa ezzrz The Tennis Season THE tennis season opened this year with four veterans around whom to form a winning Nichols team: Doll, Fischer, Marsh, and MacDonald. The first game of the Adsit Cup series was played at the Nichols on the 14th of May against East Aurora High School. The whole Nichols team played very well and succeeded in beating their opponents by a score of 7-O. The team rested for two days and then left the city and went to Lockport to play the Lockport High School team. Here they again scored a victory by holding their opponents to a score of 7-O. Doll and Marsh proved their worth in all their matches. The match with Tonawanda High School, on our own grounds, came next and was the first one which was really difficult for our boys to win. The Tonawanda boys put up a good fight, as Tonawanda teams are wont to do, and they succeeded in annexing one match, leaving the score 6-l. The record so far was so good that the team was determined to conquer De Veaux, their next opponent. This match, on the 21st, ended in a complete victory for Nichols, the score being 7-O. However, the maxim which says that all good things must end was proved when the team lost the last march of the season to Niagara Falls High School, with a score of 6-1. lt might be well to say that the only team which was able to beat ours was the team which won the cup. We hope that Mr. Tuthill will have as good a foundation as this year, although the loss of Marsh, MacDonald, and Fischer will seriously cripple the team. 1112111 A Jar gg link , -ff -.- 4- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- --V -.V -.- -.- -.- -.V -.V -.- -.- --.V -. ,- q, J THE 1929 I Q- f'.-:f:- -,w,,N M - -1-..' 1--aw e, .J.,.

This organization, from its founda- tion, has been an indispensable necessity, increasing in influence and responsibility each year. lt is the true representative of the Nichols School, and there is no greater honor to be conferred upon anyone than being elected a member of this body. Perhaps that accounts for the careful selection and consideration of all candidates, and also for the very evident success of the Council. The duties of this organization, handled quietly and efficiently, are simple but essential. Misunderstandings, trivial or momentous, are cleared up. lt maintains a mutual friendly relationship with the faculty. Important decisions con- cerning the school are handled by this group aided by the advisory masters. The ability and purposefulness of every member command the respect and admiration of every student. As a whole the feeling manifested by those members makes for a unified and loyal student body. This year's Council has proved no exception, and has done much toward upholding the traditions and aims of the school.

A President is elected from the whole Intermediate School to head this body. The members of the Council take charge of study hall or classes when the master in charge leaves. lt helps to arouse school spirit and gets the boys out to athletic games. The Council also strengthens the disciplinary system. They have an adviser who helps in case of complications. He is one of the masters who has had experience on school or college Councils in his day. The master, however, does not preside at the meetings, he merely listens to what the members have to say and helps out the President if he needs it.

The Dance Committee, headed byjoe Morey, handled all three in a fine manner. The Football Dance took place later than has been the custom, being held on the night of January 1, 1929, New Year's. As there were no other dances to interfere, it was a great success both socially and financially. The Hockey Dance was held later than customary, also, on Friday, April 12th, a week after School had recom- menced. The Senior Dance will, as usual, be held at Commencement time in June.

Commencement, 1 918 GN Tuesday, June the fifth, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, the thirty-sixth annual Commencement Exercises were held in the Rand Memorial Dining Room. Forty-eight students were graduated after completing their courses at Nichols. The Exercises opened with the singing of America The invocation, given by Rev. Walter R. Lord of St. John's Church, was followed by a review of the school year by Thurston Davies, our Headmaster. Edward H. Letchworth gave the announcements of the forthcoming year. Dr. Albert R. Mann gave a very interesting talk concerning the future life of boys graduating from High School. Mr. Davies then awarded the prizes and Mr. George Nichols, brother of the founder of Nichols School, announced the results of the Cum Laude elections. This was followed by the awarding of the hard-earned diplomas by Mr. Horace Reed, Vice-President of the School. The ceremonies were closed by the singing of the school hymn.

This organization was called the Cum Laude Society and serves very much the same purpose as the Phi Beta Kappa Society. There are at present some forty or Hfty chapters scattered among the very Fine secondary schools of the country. The Nichols chapter, ob- tained in 1908, was the fifteenth. The four classes of membership are Charter, Honorary, Faculty, and Members in Course, Every chapter has the privilege of selecting each year two honorary members. It may also select men of high standing in the faculty. Members in course are chosen each year from the highest fifth of the graduating class. Only that with honor grads are however eligible. Thirty-seven boys out of three hundred that have graduated since 1918 are Cum Laude members. H1433 THE 1929 4 ASIsfssssseszsisfs-,s1:-:s:s1sgisSs1fIRs N' Hg.. ,..,, . t ,.-LiL,q..E...

The school was well represented in the audience by a large number of parents, friends, alumni, trustees and faculty, all of whom expressed great satisfaction over the production. The show opened with a clever act, The Rickety-Rackety Radio, featuring a group of crap-shooters, consisting of Reagan, Nathan, Frazee, Wheeler, Wright and Brady. The second act found Cramer, Hoefler and Thomas in a skillful dancing skit accompanied at the piano by Morey, who afterwards with Hoefler, playing the banjo, rendered the popular selection, Joanne, Next came one of the best acts of the show, Why Boys Go to College, featuring Richbart and Burrows as Feber and Wields, clever prototypes of their mixed namesakes. Then the Intermediate School put on an exhibition of their musical talent, which was followed by The Filming of Uncle Tom's Cabin, put on by more Lower School talent. The next act was somewhat of a mystery play with Simmons, Nagel, and Dorris. Then Freedman carried into realism the well-known advertisement, They Laughed When I Sat Down to Play, But When I Started-. Reagan again scored a hit with Brown in, Two Cold Knights. Then to top off a most successful evening, the faculty, whose appearances are fast becoming traditional among Nichols presentations, were aCCOrded thunderous applause at the close of their L'Rehearsal.

In speaking of the Dramatic Club, one cannot praise too highly its excellent director, Mr. Henry Gilland, who has coached all its efforts for the last live years or more. Even greater credit is due him because of the fact that only one or two actors remained from last year. The leads were taken this year by Sam Simmons, who played the part of Larry , and Paul Dorris, as Eddie, who had everybody in the house ready to fall in love with him, and vvho was most certainly the A'find of the year. The female roles were excellently taken by Chester Husted and Thomas Curtiss. Both carried Off the very difficult job in a most convincing manner. Tvvo other actors deserve special mention-Sam Richbart vvho, as the crooked crook, had everyone sitting on the edge of their seats, and Robert Warner vvho, as a negro maid, sang mammy songs in excellent fashion.

It is the greatest, most stupendous, most Q marvelous, and most enjoyable Circus that is ever given by a school in Buffalo or points west. It is held on a hot spring night when the pink lemonade tastes the best and the peanuts squirm down your throat with a luscious flavor. The clovvns keep you in fits of laughter and the acrobats take your breath away. The beautiful Women win your heart and you feel as though you were in a dream. Balloons fly all over the arena, and the toys make the little children happy- Those responsible for the most important Work of the show are as follovvs: MR. RAY G.

The wailings of the newly-formed band could be heard early in the fall, as they practiced in preparation for their debut early in the fall in assembly. Their first appearance in public was at the opening dinner of the Foundation Fund Drive, and here they were very well received. Their next appearance before the public was at the annual Christmas Dinner where they again scored a great hit. In all probability they will be heard in assembly before the school many times after this book goes to press, and, undoubtedly, will play at the Parents' Dinner. ' I The orchestra is composed of the following: LEO DOLL, Saxophone BOIES WHITCOMB, Piano PHILIP COYLE, Drafnr JAMES SHAW, Saxophone ALEXANDER HOEFLER, Trumpet, Banjo MR. THoMssoN, Violin MR.

Thomsson, this year, was greatly handicapped in the preparation and training of a Glee Club by the lack of experienced singers in the school. Only Len Cramer remained from last year's chorus to sing tenor and so Mr. Thomsson had to search among the new pupils for talented singers. As a consequence of this, this year's club was not as great a success as other years have been, but despite their handicap, all the boys have put a great deal of effort toward making the singing season a success. The faculty double quartet, an institution of a year's practice, was heard at the Alumni-Parents' Dinner, and its harmonious strains were applauded so well that the quartet sang at the renowned Nichols Minstrel Show. We hope that the Glee Club increases in size and talent next year. lll53ll TI-IE 1929 f VERDIAN -Zii l s s fs ss-,ssszssssssxfm f.na1.':-Ei:?gr:e'ek:?2:?2:s?:a'.?i5e:52555':5:S ,.,...,. .,.,. n,.a.-..1ef.4..4-..::.,p.'e.:4,.eng...g.,4,,,...,, W...

Mr. Kenyon, renewing his efforts of last year, Worked hard and finally interested enough of his boys to form a good band. Since the Minstrel Show, this organization has not been heard from, but judging from the strains which pour forth from the west end of Albright Hall, we imagine something is going to happen soon.

The Nichols Newf is certainly one of those indispensable fixtures that you hear so much about. Last year several radical changes were made, which improved the New greatly. This year's Board is carrying Off the new style very well. Few people realize what a drive is put On every two weeks by the members of the Board to make the paper both interesting and financially Successful. Much credit is due to the Board for its hard and valuable work.

The day that the Gleaner comes out, everybody in the school knocks off for a half hour and reads, criticizes, approves and comments. And then, too, there is always the chance of one having one's composition and signature in the little book. The Gleaner is made up of the best compositions or poems turned in in any English class in the school. It is quite an honor to have marked on your theme, Reserve for Gleaner. This year, the fourth in the history of the Gleaner, the price was again raised, in order to make it self-supporting, and printers were again changed.

In producing this Annual, the Board has worked hard since the opening of school, and several fellows worked during the Christmas holidays in order to speed up the copy. A great deal of credit is due to the Art Editor, who is responsible for most of the sketches in the book. We sincerely hope that this book fulfills its purpose and meets with the approval of its readers.

His review of the greatest of all tragedies, Macbeth, was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Next the assembly was addressed by one of the most interesting men of the season, Captain Tim Healy. Captain Healy told about the fighting of the Anzacs in the great war. He held the audience spellbound during his entire speech, after which he answered any questions that he was asked. One of the most important pleas which ever came to Nichols Students was that of the Foundation Fund Drive. Mr. Carlton Cooke, a Nichols alumnus, spoke to the school about the Drive, of which he was Chairman. Armistice Day was celebrated at the school by Mr. Allan K. Chalmers. Mr. Chalmers, who served in the World War, pointed out to the boys the foolishness of war. His was an exceedingly inspiring talk. On November twenty-eighth the school was entertained by a quartet of violinists, who were brought to the school by Mr. Thomsson, our versatile orchestra leader. This was the first of a series of several recitals. A memorable occasion was the next assembly, February the fourth, when Sergeant Alvin C. York addressed the school. He told oflife in them that Tenesee mountins, and then related some of his war experiences. The school was very fortunate to get Sergeant York to speak to them. 1116220 THE 1929 A VERDIAN fg- N- e z r: ..::: -p-- fi f',-- - - f f ' 1' - ' .gl vm:-e.+s.,::tw:'szffH:f'gzv'e g:f'-f i. fQ:.i1'i' : . . -' ' -X -1- -'-.--.,-+---f' :gy I N' ,, . ,. ,A gm. .2 ,...,, Q4 .,.. 4. .4..g,.t..,.,., x 0 Q -...g,g-..,.-.. , . .-, .,.., . Mr. Tom Skeyhill, the famous Australian, soldier, biographer, author and lecturer, spoke next. He gave the most thrilling talk that the school as a whole, had ever heard. Mr. Skeyhill spoke on Mussolini, after giving an interesting short biography of his friend, Sergeant York. A familiar Hgure at the school is Mr. William Ellsworth. For three years Mr. Ellsworth has been regularly coming to Nichols to address the school. His subject on his third talk was Milton, Bunyan, Pepys, and the Restoration. As usual, his lecture was vvell received. Another familiar face is that of Dr. Mike Dorizas. Dr. Mike has previously addressed the school three times. He is a traveler, geographer and champion wrestler. He showed slides and moving pictures of Northern Africa, and explained why the Africans and the Arabs are not to blame for their sluggishness. On March thirteenth, Colonel Furlong appeared before the school to lecture on South Africa. His talk was very interesting and very Well liked as his talks always have been. The last assembly before this book went to the press was entertained with a recital by Mr. Thomsson's quartet. We sincerely hope that we may have many of the aforementioned speakers again next year. 516311 THE 1929 VERD IAN .f Tf ', vt.. - - - 1 : -:: f: Y - H - . ' -- A - - t' f, A - 'zz' H . 'i ' .

ROBABLY the most gratifying and lasting reward for work well done is the reali- zation ofsuccess that has attended one's efforts. Surely, the Staff of the 1929 VERDIAN must take considerable pride in the successful com- pletion of this excellent book. They have done good work and we heartily congratulate them on the highly pleasing result. As printers of the 1929 VERDIAN, We cannot help but feel a certain degree of pride in the fact that this is only one of the many editions of the VERDIAN we have had the pleasure of printing -- a pride based upon the realization of continued confidence placed in our ability to co-operatevvith and aid the Year Book Staff. We hope that this confidence vvill continue and that it will be our privilege to place the facilities of our organization at the service of each new XZERDIAN Staff for many years to come.
