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.

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 GEORGE EDWARD HALL To deny that George has a forceful personality would be to deny too much. Determined and argumentative, he has his views on every subject and situation that may arise. Nor is he afraid to express them. He is never so thoroughly in his element as when deeply engrossed in a verbal combat, prefer- ably when he is in the minority. This same determination, coupled with his energy and intelligence, particularly along scientific and practical lines, makes him a success at whatever interests him. A loyal crew man, he has become a stroke of outstanding ability by means of these same qualities. Going out for football with like iron will last fall, he became first string end until an unfortunate eye injury put him out for the remainder of the season. The almost frantic way in which he undertakes anything has always been a source of perpetual enjoyment to us. In- deed, it has been one of the most humorous angles of the class from our own standpoint. lt is reflected even in his hand- writing, which once caused the remark- It might be a good paper if I could read it. One does not need to look at a crew schedule on the day of a race to make sure there is one. A glimpse of George striding about desperately, sufhces for that. Convivial and full of fun, at times even boisterous, his friendly nature has been an integral and treasured part of the class. 26
