'Way back in 1923 the six years ahead seemed eternity. But now we're over the threshold of 1929, and there are but a few precious weeks before the day when we walk with stately steps, as seniors should, across the campus to receive our long sought diplomas. In studies and athletics our class rank is a thing to be remembered with pride and pleasure. When we we1'e in class three, the boys won the basketball championship, the girls, the hockey. lVhen in class two, the girls captured the basketball championship after a hard fought game with class three. The same year the boys became most notable in the football and baseball fields. They still bring in the honors. NVe started early, in our dramatic career, by giving Master Shylock in the sixth class. Our talent was so overwhelming that with the returns from the production We traveled in a large and ungainly body to Concord and Lexington. 1Vhen we became third classmen, we had a representative, Brooks Dyer, in the Senior Middle play. Then came our own play, The Youngest , which was deemed not at all bad. And in this, our senior year, Charlotte Kimball, Brooks Dyer, Margaret Taylor, Gilbert 1Vhite, and others in the chorus added to our dramatic glories. On various occasions members of ,529 have graced the chapel programs with themes of their own writing. Among the hard won honors accorded was the Lincoln Medallion awarded to John Gowan. Herbert Cleaves' was the local winning paper in the national essay on Why I Should Vote. And his had the distinction of being considered the second best by the state judges. Social activities have not been lacking. Last year we gave our Senior Middle reception, which, as they say, went over bigu. The joint supper meeting of the Hi-Y and the Theta Alpha Club, at which Mr. Booth spoke, was a great success. And now our Senior dance is coming and we predict a topping good time. , Ah, yes, our talent runs in every direction. VVe have among our fold not only actors, writers, athletes, and humorists, but also an artist and a singer. We are amazingly well equipped. We even make excellent janitors-we weep to think that no more can we scurry around and pick multitudinous papers from the campus. . As we pass out through the campus gate-way for the last time as students, we know that the memory of the abiding helpfulness of our instructors and headmaster will be an enduring heritage.

Carl Ackermann's his name, And he's living on the campus. With that Swampscott- sweater He came to help our team along. and earn l1is football letter. And when the spring eame 'round. anon, with derby black as raven, And long pipe too, with Millerls crew, he journeyed to New Haven. But where this fellow plans to go, or where his pathways end Vile do not know, but this we do-that he's a true-blue friend. Football, 1, Basketball, 1, Ili-Y, 1. ELEANOR FRANCES ABBOTT tTeddyl Wheaton An increased gcvztlffness of aspect This is our own claim to the inner eirele of Bay State society-an Abbott, no less. What! you rlon't, know Teddy !-the little girl who is always running from room 3 to the chemical lab? Now you know. Teddy has a reputation among her classmates for always being ready to do someone a good turn, in spite of her great af- fection for chemistry make-up problems, which she absolutely will not let get more than twenty-five ahead of her, 'tTeddy has abilities which entitle her to a plaee on the honor roll, but she is at times reluctant to let her studies interfere with her other interests.

NORMAN FRANK CANTELMO CShortyJ Harvard A fortultuous series of happy thoaghtsi' Here's a Hmultum in parvo from Dean, Norman Cantelmo, the boy scientist. lYhere would the fifth period class be if it were not for the Clatf-Cantelmo combine to carry out experiments in the most approved UD fashion?. Norman's other claim to fame are those fastidious side-bums cultivated at the cost of much time and energy. Norm, has been with us only one year but we are sure that he will leave his mark at Thayer, as he has dents on local telephone poles. Football, J. V., 1, Inter-class Track, 1, Varsity Traelf, 2.
