Harvard Skillful alike with tongue and pen Behold an orator, no less. Warren can debate, accept a nomi- nation, conduct special exercises in the hall,-in short, he can do anything in the line of public speaking. He can also write. We remember with smiles Warren's prosecution of Macbeth, after the style of Cicero. He has other distinctions also. He has been out for track, faithfully every year, sometimes being the whole team. Warren has surely made his mark here at Thayer, and we wish him good luck and success in years to come.

JANET WINTHROP BAKER CNetD Wheaton A life that moves to gracious ends Her voice is ever soft and low, It tests the teacher's hearingg And yet anon we hear its tones When Janet joins the cheering. The orchestra most rightly claims That Janet is a mainstay. That she is gracious, helpful, kind, Not one of us will gainsay.

HERBERT MARTIN CLEAVES CBeeD Harvard A man of great probity, wit, and understanding t'Bee Cleaves is probably the most versatile member of our class. As may be seen below, he is treasurer of the class and of the Hi-Y, and president of the Student Council. But besides his financial and executive proclivities, Herb has many talents in other fields. Our cagey field general in the backfield, our debonair lawyer over the footlights, and our logical prize-winner on the topic Why Should I Vote? are all one and inseparable. Bee has also been instrumental in class dances, baseball, tennis, hockey, class meetings, and the adoption of the rule that all people tardy more than once a month must stay after school. His destiny is Harvard, his chosen profession, law, and as for his much heralded claim to oratory, we can only say that the Cleaves' speech of ac- ceptance will live in our memories as the finest example of modesty ever exhibited by a candidate for public oflice.

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.

In short, he is a hard worker, hard thinker, hard hitter Con the baseball diamondb, and we prophesy that in the years to come he will occupy a top rung in the ladder of life. He has great faith in sleep as a cure for all ills, and when not asleep, pens many a tardy slip. For al that and al that, 'fDoc is decidedly popular with us all.

BROOKS MILTON DYER Boston Uniuw'sity f'I'll slrilce a light guitarl' Few brooks run deep, but h6l'6lS an exception. As an athlete and a scholar, Brooks has certainly done his share. If you don't think he's a musician, just go to a local dance. But after all, it is on the stage that Brooks shines. Since the days of t'Master Skylzirkl' he's been an ever present help in our dramatics. And no one who saw t'The Goose Hangs Highl' will ever forget Kimberly and his cigar. To this t'Eyesore , our constant friend, we wish the best o' luck.
