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

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

1933 Class Book The Graduating Class K. ANTHONY FAUNCE In spite of the fact that Tony is our youngest member, he is one of the most dignified and serious fellows in the class. Anything he undertakes is done in a manner so quietly efficient that we never worry about any position of trust placed in his hands. His performance in The Ghost Train this year is an example of the above. Long before most of the actors were really started, Tony knew his lines, which contained many long speeches, and he had developed a perfect country accent, fitting his part as the old station-master in the play. As track manager this winter, he maintained his record for level-headedness, and events were faultlessly run off. In- doors, he has been for years a prominent member of the Glee Club. But like a great many of us, Tony is chiefly concerned with crew, and this year he showed his real ability in that line, row- ing high in the secondary crews, and for a time being on the Seconds. It is rumored that Tony has a great deal to do outside of school, and in connection with this, we must mention his rather passionate neckties, and also the occasional appearance of a moustache, which, thanks to our earnest entreaties, never gets beyond its infancy. But these are his only frivolitiesg mainly, he gives the class a businesslike and sober air, and so is one of our most necessary members. 25 Crew Squad, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931 1932, 1933.
