MBO GEORGE WALTER BELL B.S. in Engineering Somerville “Buck” Somerville High School. “Buck” hasn’t been seen around the Hill much since he came to college, as he has been kept busy working on the newest accessory for Fords -— a noiseless Klaxon. CARL FREETIOF BERGSTROM B.S. in Civil Engineering Lynn “ Bergie” Lynn Classical High School. Handling young folks is “Bergie ' s specialty. His main ambi¬ tion is to get the infant generation to attend church. “ ’21” would have claimed this voluble gentleman, if the war hadn’t interfered. WILLIAM HERBERT BINGHAM B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Somerville “Bill” Somerville High School; Cap and Gown Committee, (4). In order to be sure of graduating “Bill” is serving on the Senior Cap and Gown Committee. When he isn’t hard-pressed by a steam problem “Bill” may be found shuffling the pasteboards. BERNARD ARVID BORGERSON B.S. in Economics Monson “Borgy” Palmer High School; Chapel Monitor, (1, 2, 3, 4,). Learned scientists tell us that “Monitors” are often found seven feet in length. We look at “Borgy” and exclaim, “Darwin, you are right!” Goddard Chapel will be deserted when “Borgy” leaves the Hill. RALPH CLARKE BRADLEY, A T B.S. in Philosophy Hanover, Pa. “Brad” Winchester High School; Pen, Paint and Pretzels. If Socrates or Plato came to Tufts, they would surely make a call on “Brad.” Ralph forsook the Colby gridiron for the footlights of the Jackson Gymnasium. As an instructor in Psychology, he strikes terror in the hearts of the “co-eds.” 24

MBO FRANK LOUIS PAUL ALCIERE A.B. in History ami Public Laic Somerville “Al” Boston College High School. “Who’s Who” contains the following concerning “Al”:— “Famous debater, scientist, lecturer, historian and literator. Mr. Alciere holds degrees from Boston English High, Boston College High, Boston University, and Charlestown Navy Yard.” WILLIAM JEFFERSON ALCOTT B.S. in Civil Engineering Everett “Bill” Everett High School; Secretary, Chess-Club (3); Press Club (3); Secretary (4); Vice-President, A. A. E. (3); Class Day Committee (4); Newspaper Committee, Jumbo Bond Drive. We wonder where our perpetual “Globe” trotter is going. From the first crack of the Chapel bell in the wee small hours of the morning until the Tufts Rendezvous closes at night “Bill can be seen tearing up the campus dust searching for scoops. EDWARD FRANKLIN ALDEN B.S. in Economics Whitman “Doc” Whitman High School. “Doc” started out in life with a scalpel and a knife, but he found the smell of ether repulsive to him and so we welcomed him back to our Liberal Arts. We are told this boyjs a great fighter. He just loves a Battle of Music. JOHN ERWIN ALLEN, Z T B.S. in Civil Engineering Somerville “Pete” Phillips Exeter Academy; Crew (1); Assistant Manager Varsity Hockey (1, 3); A. A. E. (4). Lexington has been the home of many famous Americans but “Pete is the greatest Minute Man of them all for he spends all his odd minutes in that historic little town, quite close to the village “green.” ROGER CHURCHILL BACON B.S. in Economics M edford Hillside “Deacon” English High School; Librarian, Band (3). “All knowledge is my province,” said the “Deacon” until he met Alexander the Great’s phalanx in Accountonia. Roger rambled all over the States before he saw the beacon of Charlie Tufts’ Hill. 43

MBO SUMNER KING BRYANT, A T A B.S. in Civil Engineering Nashua, N. H. “Chipper” Nashua High School. From the banks of the Merrimack comes this diminutive young chap who is as immaculate as an Arrow Collar “ad.” When in the company of members of the fairer sex, “Chipper” is said to be a King among queens. CHARLES EDWARD BUTTERWORTIL B T A.B. and S.T.B. in Theology Newton Highlands “Butsy” Roxbury Latin School; Staff artist, Weekly, (2, 3, 4); Artist, Elephas (3); Pen, Paint and Pretzels. For twenty years “Butsy” roamed from coast to coast. At one time under the glare of the spotlight, at another under the critical eye of the City Editor, he has finally lingered long enough to enjoy the blissful peace and rest “in this college life.” PHILIP EDWARD CASSIDY, I B K B.S. in Chemistry Dorchester “Phil” Dorchester High School. When you can ' t find the answer to your problem in a text book trot around to see Philip. Formulae grow on him like weeds in a flower garden. KENNETH HODGSON CASSON, B T B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Lynn “Ken” Huntington; Tufts Ambulance L T nit in France (1); Wireless Society (1); Rifle Club (2); President, A. S. M. E. (4); Mandolin Club (3); Assistant Leader, Mandolin and Glee Clubs (4); President, Musical Clubs (4); Class Banquet Committee (4); Chairman, Class Day Committee (4). The vision of Columbus does not compare with “Ken’s” fore¬ sight. He already has plans for a Tufts-Wellesley coalition and ha.s purchased a bungalow lot on the Medford clay pits. “Ken” picks a wicked mandolin and has a mean “wah” when he leads the club. JAMES RAYMOND CLANCY B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Brookfield Jim Brookfield High School; Weekly Staff (1); Assistant Manager, Crew (I). Prophecies are a gamble, but we venture to predict that this stalwart son of Brookfield will be a ward politician. Bon vovage, “Jim!” 25
