THE HERMIAD WILLIAM BERNARD COUGHLIN Sister calls me 'Willie'. Yes, Willie is the other haIf : as he makes up in rotundity what Terrance has in length, honors am even in the Coughlin family. We hate to admit that. Willie has strayed from that straight and narrow path of bacherlorhood and succumbed to the charms of those havoc-working females of his class, the Sterling Seniors. He may not be able to compute the area of a rectangular polygon, but he surely can figure the correct price of fish in Moosup. Good luck in the grocery store, Willie. EDMOND ALFRED D'AVIGNON HMy idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with mef' -- -Dismrli. Eddie is one of the Three Musketeers and a Popular member of the class. He is a remarkable shot in basketball: what would our team be without him! He always knows his French,-and howl He is a great talker and loves to convince people. Y0u'd think by his innocent brown eyes that he is a quiet, unsophistieated lad, but is he? RUSSELL KENNETH GALLUP Wishe me lucke-throw an olde shooe after me. --Hey'wo0rl. Russell is the guiding star of his class. His mood disposition has won the hearts of his fellow students. His fine acting in the difficult part of Cappy in the senior play deserves high praise. During baseball season he is seen on first base: he rarely misses a pass and shows his opponents where the back fence is. He is a strong orator and debater and has proved his talent in mornimr assemblies. CLIFFORD WILLIAM GAUTHIER UI am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips, let no dog h:1rk. - Slzakesprarf. Peg his been a prominent member of the P. H. S. varsity football squad for four seasons and at basketball he has won the coveted letter once. He was sophomore class treasurer and business manager of the Hermiad for 1927. As hard-boiled Mike in The King's English he was a mighty hit with his strong body developed by his activities as physical training' leader of the boys of the school. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow who enjoys u good joke and can tell many of them. ARMAND JOSEPH GILBERT Be satisfied with nothing but your best? Gilbert is a second member of the Ulnseparable Three and is a strong supporter of Carroll. He is n good athlete and has been on both baseball and basketball teams. We regret that due to certain illness he was unable to take part in either dramatics or athletics during his senior year.

THE HERMIAD EDMOND ABBOOD 0h! I'm the cook and the cap'n bold. --W. S. Sullivan. Fat is the champion harmonica player of the class. He has served as tackle on the football team for four years and during his junior and senior years has been manairer of the basketball team. He will long be re- membered as Dead-Eye Dick in the senior play and as Sacco-Wagga---not forizettinz the grass skirt-win The King's Emzlish. EARL BECKWITH CARPENTER UA mighty hunter. --Iopc. Cap, the lad with the grin, comes from the open ranges of Canterbury. He played end on the football tm-am for two years and is expected to toss a few balls this spring. During his senior year Cap sprung a surprise by rolling into Daniel Webster's family and rivalinz his brother Nelson as an orator. NELSON LEMUEL CARPENTER He hath the golden gift of oratory. yEmcrson. Nel is a popular and dignified senior. He demon- strated his dramatic talent by acting the difficult part if Mat Peasley in the senior play. Nelson is well known for his :rift of public speaking: for which he won a prize during: his Freshman year. He excels in sports having played on the football and baseball teams for the last three years. Nel also represents the Senior class on the Student Council. Strange to say Nelson is frequently addicted to Day-dreaming. EUGENE JOSEPH CARROLL Don't worry about your workg do what you can, let the rest go, and smile all the time. Geney, the sheik of Jewett City and the tallest member of '28, is a baseball man whose cne ambition is to become a great pitcher. What would classes be without his wise-cracks! He will never admit being un- prepared and can always find for any question an answer which is, of course, absolutely correct. He certainly makes a hit with the girls because of his flashy attire nnd his dancing. TERRANCE JEROME COUGHLIN A nvnn is n'-vi-r sn happy as when he is talking. -Kipling, Terrance has been a great help to us during our four years as he always knows the latest from the office and if we ever wanted information, we consulted him. He is xl familiar fiizure around the library, either reading the paper or studying. Terrance was a great success in The King's English.

THE HERMIAD JOSEPH SAMUEL HAWKINS No matter what happened, he grinned. -Guest. Joe has an enviable reputation: his temper is never upset. Senior themes, chemistry problems, French con- versation have no terror for him: he meets them with a grin, and his name is always on the honor roll. He has distinguished himself as the Duke of Venice in the Merchant of Venice, as a cannibal in The King's English and As Simpson in Either or Eyther. HENRY JOSEPH MARCHESSEAULT I love to meditate-on anything but books. The silence of the classroom is broken by a sarcastic comment. No one need to look for the culprit: it's Marchesseault. Yet he has such a thoughtful, meditative countenance! He is an actor of no mean ability: consider the love-sick Cecil in the senior play, or Bring-em-in Brashley, snappy salesman in The King's English. Henry is class treasurer, and art editor of the Hermiad. His favorite occupations are chewing gum, wandering around with Rus or Teddy, and talking business in French class. CHARLES CLEMENT MODLISZEWSKI You have told me, Charles. -Browning. Charley's chief interest ever since he came to Plainfield High School has been athletics. ln basketball, baseball and football he has proved his worth. He is a great favorite among his classmates and while attending some wild party at Canterbury is very entertaining to certain members of the fair sex. As Gus in The King's English Charley made a hit with the audience. WALTER PRENTICE ROBINSON And when a lady's in the case, You know all other things give place. -Gay. Walt is from Wauregan and during his sojourn at P. H. S. has been very popular. He has been a P. T. leader for three years, was manager of the baseball and football teams in '27 and played guard on the varsity basketball team in '28. He was treasurer of his class in '27 and for two years has served on the Student Council. For the last three years he has successfully taken an extra subject, Some day we shall see M. D. after his name. JOSEPH ERNEST ROYLE He heareth many things and say:-th naught: Yet naught drth pass his clarion cl1:xllengP. 'elllilfnn. Ernest comes to us from Plainfield. He holds the honor of being president of the senior class and captain of the 1928 basketball team. He is one of the class triplets, the other two being Robinson and Smith. Ernest has a decided flair for mathematical research and polite argument.
