The Graduating Class BENJAMIN DWIGHT HYDE, 2nd Benny was one of the first yachtsmen among us, showing an interest in that field even in the sixth class. His interests also run towards the mechanical, and his lathe and splicing ability have aided both crew and Dickson many times. This scientific bent has given him an understanding of engines, mathematics, and chemistry, that makes many of us shudder. At one time his diversion was the manufacture of toy bombs for destructive purposes, but now we feel that he has calmed down to peacefully caring for his Friendship sloop. In school his serious expression completely conceals a sense of humor that often keeps Benny in contortions for several minutes. Of late he has become active in society, and we see him at many dances. For four years Benny has pulled an oar in some crew or other and was on the track squad this last winter. As a monk, cannibal, and a bandit, Benny was active in the Dramatic Club production, The Devil in the Cheese. As a bass, he also aug- mented the Glee Club's strength. VVe expect to see him at Har- vard next fall, absorbed in scientific study with a dash of some- thing nautical. 25 1934 Class Book ii Dramatic Club, 1934 Glee Club, 1934 Track Squad, 1934 Crew Squad, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 Pldmjfmgi Q, N O

Unfortunately frequent illnesses have detracted fom his athletic participations, but the indomit- able Edward has always pulled hard to make up. On the play- ing held he is most prominent in baseball, where hard work has put him on the squad for the last two years. Perhaps Teddy's greatest gift is his tenor voice. He has been a member of the Glee Club ever since we can remember, and he has carolled in two winning quartettes. This year he was also in the Dramatic Club, disguised in a funny costume as an ape. Outside of school, motorboats are a big interest, and he has plenty of time to use them when on the beautiful Isle au Haut, off the Maine coast. The efficient Hubbard brothers, it was, who started a fad of selling merchandise in school, on the cumulative commission plan, and, as they were the flrst in the field, their profits were large. Teddy has always been a genial and companionable soul, and a friend of everyone. VVe expect to see his name in heavy type shortly, when he sings with the Harvard Glee Club, and we hope he will go further. 24

Ever since Howard arrived, in 1929, he has been one of the best-natured fellows in the class. There is nothing he won't do for someone elseg in fact he is always doing good turns. Howard has always been prominent in athletics. For three years he played guard on the football team, being one of the best players in the line. For the past two winters he has divided his time between tending the nets on the hockey team and hurling weights on the track team. In the spring, Howard takes to crew, where he has rowed on the second and Hrst crews, not to mention the Russell Cup crew. In Physics class his repeated What's the answer, has be- come familiar to us all. Some of Howard's stories are wonderful, in fact, we can remember several years ago, when telling about the movies he had seen used to be his favorite indoor sport. As a grouser he holds the all-time record for the class, but in spite of it all he is one of the hardest workers. This year Howard was chairman of the Dance Committee, giving to it all the knowledge gained from years of experience, and the success of the dance was largely due to his efforts. 26
