THE MASSASOIT • 1911 1 8 Elmer Berry, B.S., M.P.E. Gray’s anatomy and Howell’s i)hysiology form the field of Mr. Berry’s activity as a })rofcssor at T. S. He is especially interested in the matter of proteid diet and its effects on the human system. His chan ;in i; of any old kind of fat into “Berry fat’’ has become a part of Trainin ' School history. T ' hc Second Football Team has benefited greatly as a result of his coaching and through his efforts have sprung many tricks which have ke])t the Varsity guessing. As coach also of the Fencing Team he has met with a large degree of success and has heli)ed to establish this sport on a firm basis. His untiring efforts in School work and his activity as Secretary of the Sunday School Athletic League have gained for him the friendshij of the students of the School as well as of the citizens of Springfield.

THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 7 What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupteJ faith the sister of justice, and undisguised truth. W. G. Ballantme, D.D., LL.D. Under ;ra(luates and graduates alike look upon Dr. Ballantinc as a big man, although he would never be mistaken for the coach of the football team. Every student of the Doctor’s classes knows him l hysically, as the little man with the small twinkling eyes ])eering out of a glowy face which extends con- siderably upward and backward. Mentally and spiritually, however, this important member of the faculty is great. Dr. Ballantine has won the affec- tion of every T. S. man by his modest and scholarly life as a revealer of religious truths. Unassuming in all his actions and painstaking in his efforts to inspire his classes with the spirit of scholarship, he goes about his daily tasks. To him the men of T. S. look as the source of that inspiration which has resulted in nobler Christian lives of service and of fellowship with God. Isn’t it queer?”

THE MASSASOIT « 1911 1 9 “ But, by the Lord, lads, I am glad you have the money.” R. L. Cheney, B.S., B.H. Financially the faculty is strong since besides Drs. Doggett and McCurdy, Prof. R. L. Cheney is hot on the trail of the “mazuma.” With a past record as a newspaper man, he has acquired the necessary smoothness to j oint out the disadvan- tages of possessing too great a fortune and many are the “shekels” that roll into the Training School coffers as a result of his out of town trips. He also teaches association method and municipal sociology and here his spirit of hustle is counter-balanced by his cheerfulness. In addition to Mr. Cheney’s ability as a financier and as a professor he is a thorough lover of nature and finds much comfort in canoeing the lake and roaming the woods. “ ] ' oii men have a wonderful opportunity”
