An all-round good fellow, Bob, and an athlete of no mean ability. Your Hcome-back was a welcome one, Bob Brown. Good luck for the future! Football, 1, Hockey, 1, Baseball, 1, Sec. of B. A.

FORD CLEAVES KFlivverJ Bowdoin Ah, now soft blushes tinge his cheeksv VVho of us that were in the class five, years ago, will ever for- get the ninety-yard dash Ford made in the crisis of the game with Class IV that year? Since that time Flivver has done his bit in almost every branch of athletics here at Thayer. This prowess in the field of sports is not Ford's only merit, however, for he is a consistent 'tpluggerl' in his studies. We prophesy that Bowdoin will be proud to claim our 1928 model as her own.

NELSON NOYES COCHRANE Harvard ' ','A princelicr-looking man never stept through a prince's hall Many thanks to Quincy High for sending us, this year, Nelson with his cheery smile and his capacity for good hard work. Is it any wonder we 'were glad to admit him to our ranks! Speaking of smiles, Nelson, in this one short year, has shown as much good will as one busy person could show. We think that next year the serious Harvardites will be saying the same thing. Hockey, 13 Tennis, 1.

Bob, althol possessed of what goes hand in hand with a fiery temper, is an exception to the rule, for he's the mildest and most cheerful of men. Perhaps that's one reason Why he has established himself so quickly in our midst. It may be that some day Bob will be helping to direct our naval policy. At any rate, he hopes to go to Annapolis. DAVID ROY CUTLER CDaveJ M. I. T. I am a part of all that I have met This youth is another of our star pupils, for it is not everyone who can get 100 per-cent in a College Board test in geometry. Davels car will be greatly missed next year, unless he teaches one of his sisters to drive it, a task which at present he is loath to undertake. Dave went on the famous trip to Denmark and learned to 'tJeg elsker dig just like a Dane. Although he says the rolling deep held no terror for him, Bob and Steve merely grin and look wise. Dave is one of our many candidates for Tech, and we know he'll make it. Tennis, 2, 15 Golf, 1g Baseball, 2, 35 Alembic Club, 1. RICHARD DENNISON CDickD Harvard Hts memory long will live alone in all our hearts Dick came to us from the Quincy High School to lead cheers in football and to receive them in baseball. He can surely cover that third sack to the queen's taste, and he has been a captain of great ability. But in more serious pursuits he shines even more brilliantly. A large amount of the success of the Student Council is due to his sterling, honest leadership. In class he has proved a good, hard- working student, In so far as we know, Dick has but two faults: he bowls over opposing catchers rather hard in his tempestuous dashes to home plate, and he sometimes arouses the ire of motor- cycle cops Remember that incident on the Newburyport turn- pike after the Dummer game last year, Dick?

ALVA MORRISON DOW, Jr. CMorrieD Amherst A man of well-attempered frame Steady, reliable, true-blue in school and out, quietly merry and companionable, that's Morrie. In short, Hwhen a feller needs a friend there is none quite like him. He's done his bit all along the way. Like many another in our group he has been a humble disciple of Thespis. Good luck, friend Morriel Dramatics, 2g Glee Club, 2, Year Book, 15 Alembic Club, 1.
