MILLIGAN, CHARLES E., JR. Putt Southampton, N. Y. Class Soccer '24-'25 Class Bowling, ’24-'25 Class Baseball '24-'25 Oh, Girls! Gaze upon this product of South- ampton, L. I. No wonder so many girls are missed from their homes there. Some one said Charles is going to be an engineer. Imagine the wonders he'll do with a face like that. Vague whispers have been heard around the theatres that Charles should have been named Jimmy and we don’t mean Walker. NIEMEYER, EDWARD A. 2725 Creston Avenue, Bronx, N. Y. Has been understudying Cap I. But some- where he learned all about Diesels and some- time he is going back to the sea and the exotic East when all good ships are Diesel drives. For the sea has claimed him as a lover and the lure of the blue that lies in her eyes will call him back to the ships that roam her bosom. And if they want Diesel-driven radio stations out East, here is the man with the necessary qualifica- tions in both branches. OLIVER, MANUEL A. Apartado 1, Antilla, Cuba Captain Class Soccer Team ’24-’25 The man from Cuba who came over on the Mayflower. Class Expert in Calculus, and a leader in all subjects. Doubles for Mr. Marsh. A man who is bound to reach the top in any- thing he undertakes. PENL, CHARLES A. 131 Myrtle Avenue, Irvington, N. J. Varsity Basketball Manager ’25 Assistant Varsity Basketball Manager ’24 Class Soccer ’24-'25 Crown and Spade Club Until January, 1924, he was the wild man of the Jersey sticks. Then, due to supreme guidance, a miraculous transformation overtook him. ‘This is, to us, as yet a mystery. Only Baltz himself can solve it. PERKINS, CARL M. go2z South Main Street, Carthage, Mo. Class Pool ’24-'25 Crown and Spade Club Prattonia Representative He of the argumentative strain and the flowery phraseology, whose convincing logic is effective on everyone but J. P. 33

MARTIN, WILLIAM T. Willie 332 First Avenue, Frankfort, N. Y. The boy with the million dollar smile. An all-round indoor sportsman, including shieking. Willie's main trouble is in finding words to ask the girls to roller skate with him. MAYNARD, MILES 1351 State Street, Bridgeport, Conn. Manager Class Soccer Nutmeg Club Hails from the great open spaces around Bridgeport, and is an authority on bodies (truck bodies). But, after all, we feel he has missed his calling. He should have been a lawyer. Packs a mean grudge against Brooklyn Heights. Maybe he can’t drive a car, but running a mime- ograph?????? Oh, baby! MEYER, CHARLES F. 26 Hallock Avenue, New Haven, Conn. Representative Neighborhood Association 24 Social Secretary Nutmeg Club ’24 Nutmeg Club ’24-’25 To redouble his vigilance, and render service, even in regard to the most trifling circumstances, is his aim. A fellow with high ideals, he is a lover of books and sports as well. MEYER, FREDERICK R, 26 Hallock Avenue, New Haven, Conn . Class Cheer Leader ’24 Treasurer Nutmeg Club His success and happiness along life’s path is ever insured by his ever potential assets of hearty co-operation and earnest application, mixed with plenty of mirth to overcome obstacles and brighten the dark corners. MILLER, BERNHARDT 67 Verplanck Avenue, Beacon, N. Y. Whether or not he was originally named for the “Divine Sarah,” this association has had its subconscious effect in training physiog- nomical mobility or bland affectation at voli- tion. And we weep to learn that this histronic forte is to be thrown away in a brickyard,. 32

PETERSON, KARL Y. Pete 29 Chapman Court, New Britain, Conn. Class Secretary ’24-'25 Varsity Baseball ’24 Class Soccer ’24 Nutmeg Club Pete is quiet—sometimes. Look out if he is, especially if he has a bandage on his face and an accompanying scowl. ‘There’s a mustache under the bandage. He protects his mustache as a hen protects her chicks. When he gets out—watch his speed. PINTAVALLE, JOHN L 129 Tenth Avenue, Schenectady, N. Y. Class Bowling ’25 John is a conscientious worker, but he caught the disease of seeing instructors after school. He can always manage an A in Math. His practical knowledge is sure to get him a good job. PLATT, HUGH Westfield, N. J. Hugh is the boy wonder of New Jersey. After he leaves school he is going to design a tug boat and show the marine designers a thing or two. In the machine shop he shows us all how to do our stuff. Tle’s a good scout and we wish him luck in his endeavors. POINT, CHARLES A. Cap 833 Ninth Street, Huntington, W. Va. Class Basketball ’24-’25 Class Baseball ’24-’25 Class Pool ’24 Southern and Western Club He comes from where they grow them big. A sturdy, likable soul with a perpetual smile. He has proven himself in class basketball and baseball. The fair sex have been watching him for two years, but someone in West Virginia saw his worth before he came up here. His favorites are four of a kind. RAFFINI, J. FELIPE Raff Bolivar 1347, Montevideo, Uruguay. A shiek in disguise. He has, in his career, employed those old Spanish methods of court- ship, combined in some degree with the methods of the man of the stone age. Just as he has the woman won, so with his weird method, he has overcome and conquered the work in engi- neering. 34
