The Graduating Class 1933 Class Book Crew Squad, 1933. Nobleman Board, 1933, Dramatic Club, 1933. CHARLES BULFINCH Although he is one ofthe more quiet members of our class, Bully is Well liked for his many good qualities. His con- scientiousness in everything he undertakes has made him one upon Whom we rely for many tasks. His unfailing good nature has made him also one of the most imposed-upon fellows in school. He has willingly approached gloomy business men for ads for the Nobleman and has silently watched his fellow boarders consume every bit of food he has courageously brought to school. In his work as assistant-manager of baseball and as stage-manager at Eliot Hall this year, he put the more frivolous members to shame by his Work. Charley is one of the original members of the class, and as one of the more recent boarders he and George Poor have made an inseparable team, which will continue next year at Harvard. His small size has prevented him from excelling in sports around School, but he is a promising oarsman and runner. He is also a yachtsman of note, and one of the class' most rabid boat-racing enthusiasts. Bully has chosen archi- tecture as his future profession, one in which he has a family name to uphold. Altogether, it is very probable that he will make a great success in life with such assets as his good h umor, conscientious- ness, and determination, if his success at school may be taken as an example. 23

Ben has been liked by everyone during his six years at Noble's because of his quiet, happy-go-lucky good nature. He has never complained of his lot, and he is a cheerful and modest worker. He was the Hrst of our class to become prominent in School affairs, by coxing the second crew and singing in the Glee Club when most us were not yet heard from. More recently he has come further into the limelight through his talent as a musi- cian, which gained him a position on the improved School orchestra, and the presidency of the Glce Club. Of course, he was one of the chosen members of the so-called '1lV1usic A class, this year. In athletics, Ben, although somewhat handicapped by his lack of size, has shown himself to be a good oarsman anfd a con- firmed squash player. His determination and desire to help have rnade him invaluable to the Noblemzm board and to the Dramatic Club, in which he worked as a stage-manager. Ben's tendency to be late is most amusing, especially because he thinks he is always on time, but we can easily forgive this fault, especially when it is due to the eccentricities of his automobile. All of his characteristics, his cheerfulness, good nature, and modesty have made him a valuable member of the class, and we have no doubt that he will be as well liked at Harvard, and later on, as he has been here. 22

1933 Class Book The Graduating Class Track Squad, 1933. Glee Club, 1932-33. Class Scholarship, 1928. THEOPHILUS PARSONS CHANDLER, III Tertius is an exception to the general run of our class, he is a real student. In fact, he might well be called a super- student, for he is at his books perpetually, and is never seen fooling or wasting any time when tomorrow's work has not beeni done. To show how astounding he really is, he has learned over two thousand famous men, their dates, and why they were famous. History is his favorite subject and pastime, he has been seen chuckling over something he did not know before about Marie Antoinette, while others were finding their relaxation in literature of a quite different specie. Because of an injury to his back, he has never taken a large part in athletics, but he has marvelous.p0wers of en- durance, as anyone can affirm after trying to follow him around the thirteen laps or the big circle which he has run daily as far back as we can remember. In fact, we believe that if the track schedule had a mile-race in it, he would be a powerful asset to any track team. In his studies, in addition to his astounding liking for history, he seems to revel in real plugging, and this conscientious attitude invariably lands him near the top of the class every term, in spite of the fact that he has invariably chosen the hard- est courses in the curriculum. A hard-worker and a good-naturcd, helpful classmate, Tertius will make as great a success by his conscientiousness at Harvard as he has made here. 24
