What, would our French and English classes do without Bob's well worded questions to start us thinking on a higher plane? What would our football, basketball, and track teams have done without his services? We are glad Bob has come. In his quiet way he has made many friends in every class. Vfe feel sure he will carry on the good work on Eddy Caseyls freshman team at Harvard. Football, 1: Track, 2, Orchestra, 2, 1.

If any one doubts Harold's athletic prowess, let. him challenge Harold to a game of tennis. .or try to strike him out in baseball. Off the athletic Held, his voice has often been raised in pleasing C73 melodies in the glee club. To his already large number of aceoiuplishments, Harold added a new achievement when he came out as a star in the last inter-class track meet.

His quick wit, origi- nality, and ever present sense of humor make him many friends. As for drawing-ever since he used to entertain the Sixth Class with drawings on the black-board, we have seen in Eddie the mak- ings of a famous cartoonist. Shortly after our Senior-Middle play, Mr. Leggett was heard to remark to him, t'Monsieur Ruggles, comme acteur vous etes merveilleux .

BARBARA EVERETT TAYLOR Smith 'tTl1y morlesly is a canrlle to thy merit Barbara is one of the most quiet, modest, and retiring members of the class. Don't let this statement mislead you though, for she is really as lively as the liveliest upon occasion. Sad to relate, she hides her talents under a bushel. She is very clever in all outdoor sports, shines in tennis and golf, and is a connoisseur of sail boats. Girls' Club, 1, Glu' Clztb, 3, 2, 1. ROBERT HENRY SCHULZE, JR. CBobD Harvarrl HI flare zlo all that may become at man, Who flares clo more ts Hone Bob is the kind of a fellow that considers lessons before pleas- ure, and, in consequence thereof has often made teachers of chemistry and of Latin marvel. However, one cannot consider him a grind in the true sense of the word, as he is always on deck when the football season is in full swing, having occupied a wing position on the team for two years. In track, too, Bob is a potential utop- notcherm. As stage manager of our play and director of photographs for the year book, he has shown both ability and dependability.

He was none other than t'Mike who had decided to roll over to Thayer for a year before going to college. Already he has re- ceived deserved praise on the tennis courts, and we are expecting greater things from him in the future. VIRGINIA N. WALKER CBearoJ Bouvri 'The blythest bird upon the bush Had ne'er a lighter heart than she All through our school days, Bearo has been one of the leaders of the class in athletics, excelling in hockey. Every one who has seen our captain take the ball down the field knows she is always right there. Proud indeed are we of the fine record which entitled her this fall to a place on the All Boston Hockey Team. Accord- ingly our Bearo,--our inerry-hearted Bearo of the sunny smile, should be listed as one of the most indispensable of our Indispen- sables. Friendly to all, conscientious in work and play, she holds an enviable place in the hearts of 1929.

JOHN HOIVARD THOMPSON CTommyD Dartmouth 0 true in word and tried in flf'l'ClU John is a product of Brockton. It seems he must have had a vigorous training in his youth, for he can't forget that little boys should be seen and not heard. However, when he received the highest mark in English I at mid-year, we realized that whatever adage he followed, he knew how to produce results. John is the possessor of an almost unlimited good nature. He is also a con- noisseur of neckties, and each day exhibits some pleasing novelty. Necktie or no necktie, he is one of the star reporters of a local newspaper. Football, 1g Hi-Y, 1, Year Book Staff, 1. CAROL MILBANK XVATERS YVho is Carol? IYhat is she That everybody likes her?
