Q .Yi PAUL s. BURGER Bud THIS chap hails from Fatawissa, ANCHOR 81 WHEEL FRANKLIN D. BUCKLEY Ducky,' THE first day Ducky entered school we could see that we were going to have a lot of fun with him, and we did. VVork or play, there was Ducky mixing in with the rest of us. In the fall he went out for foot- ball with the rest of us and landed on the B squad. In the spring we will see him out on the baseball diamond. It's too bad we don't have a rifle team here, for that is Buck's specialty. He was on his school team before he came here and he has several marksmanship medals. We know that Buck is going to go places and do things, and we wish him the best of luck. VV Pa., and if they are all like him up there, why, we're for it. Paul is a very quiet, unassuming fellow, and consequently it was quite a while before we realized what a true gentleman and sportsman we had in our midst. Although light in weight, I'aul's natural aptitude for sport led him to turn in many a stellar game for the thirties and when it comes to baseball, Severn can boast no superior. Paul's abili- ties, however, are not confined to sport by any means. In the class- room he is all that any teacher might desire and is always among the foremost in his marks. The best of luck to you, Bud.

ANCHOR 8: WHEEL l ik .4 -. . -.L EUGENE R. BLANDIN Blandie,' GENE didn't come down here for football training camp, but he arrived soon after school started, and promptly proceeded to show some of our football players a few things about that gentle art. Only a lightweight, he neverthe- less had so much pep and spirit that he saw quite a bit of work as varsity guard. But a bad ankle hampered him continually, and , finally forced him out of the run- ning. Still, his spirit and vigor did a lot for the other members of the squad. VVhen it came time for wrestling, Blandie was once more on hand, and now that spring is here we find him out on the baseball field all ready to go. VV A JAMES V. BROWN Browne', Jim DESPITE the severe handicap of a none too strong wrist, Jim has done exceedingly well since his arrival at Severn last fall. iVhen ordered by the doctor to give up football, Jim satisfied his passion for the game by ably assisting Barney and the Swede in man- aging the team. Browne was also one of the most dependable men on the soccer team, and will play baseball when that sport i starts in the spring. In addition to his other hon- ors, Jim is one of the best-liked fellows in the school, and a full- fledged member of Sigma Phi Sigma. Jim is no mean scholar and ranks with Hershey in his ability to get 4.0's consistently.

ANCHOR 81 WHEEL BANTZ W. CRADDOCK, Jr. scchungys sscradas CRADDOCK is that handsome little chunk of dynamite Cour com- pliments to VW1itey Mehligj who played guard on the 130-pound football team last fall, and who was such a perpetual discourage- ment to his opponents. He ex- pects to go out for the lacrosse team later in the year. If he plays that with the same spirit he played football, we feel sorry for the enemy. Bantz claims that girls don't interest him. True he admits the acquaintanceship of several West Virginia belles, but these he tells us were forced upon him. Of course, we don't doubt you in the least, Crad. But why do you make those regular Saturday night pilgrimages to Baltimore? VV JOSEPH F. DALTON Jack,' Horse Marine J ACK first made himself known by demonstrating unusual prowess in the line of the 130-pound foot- ball team. Jack was also a mem- ber of Mr. Hoover's soccer ball dribblers and will play lacrosse in the spring. . When Romeo came back from Annapolis one Saturday last fall with an accordion, Jack along with the rest of us decided that something should be done about it. Jack, however, was the only one to suit his actions to his words. A few days we were surprised to hear a blare of sound coming from Room 6. Jack had blossomed forth with an accordion even noisier than that of Romeo. Jackis quiet manner and cheerful attitude have gained for him the friendship of all who know him.
