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”

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.

20 THE MASSASOIT 1911 F. S. Hyde, B.A., B.D. Prof. Hyde has three funetions, viz. : cramming history into the Preps, boosting the musically in- clined students and delivering chai)cl talks “a la improm])tu. In each of these roles he plays a witty part aside from the intelligence which he may impart. Humor characterizes his every move; yet there is always a time when the professor’s wisdom is poured out uj)on the students. To the Prc])S he is es])ccially ])rofusc in his dealing out of daily lessons; in history a dose of seventy-six pages is customary. To the musically fit, Prof. Hyde is a favorite. Hut it is when subjecting the chaitel exercises to an un])remedilated talk that he comes most clearly into the calcium light. Here he not only amuses but resurrects from his fertile attic scrajts of wisdom and sound reasoning. Prof. Hyde can well be termed the best “fellow” on the faculty and fills a need at T. vS. “ A-a-a it seems to me — ” “ .d little nonsense tioiv a hl then Is relished by the udsest men.”
