IRWIN CHARLES CLARE B.S. in Chemistry Jamaica Plain “ Id y” English High School. “Well, Idy Clare!”—The prosperity of the furniture business is attributed to “Idy’s” experience, gleaned from four years of inten¬ sive study of East Hall means and methods. MELVIN JOSEPH COHEN, d B K B.S. in Economics Somerville “Mel” “Cuckoo” Somerville High School; Class Smoker Committee (2); Chairman, Class Dance Committee (2); Dramatics (2,3); Weekly Staff (3); Associate Editor (4); Commencement Usher (3); Board of Editors, JUMBO (4); Organization Committee Jumbo Bond Drive (4); Secretary, Pen, Paint and Pretzels. We had high aspirations for this young hopeful until heart trouble attacked him unawares at Simmons. Someone took him in, purely out of pity, and he has been “your devoted” ever since. A strange mixture of the ridiculous and the sublime, “Mel” acquired P. B. K. as easily as we inherit false teeth! ARTHUR MILES COLLIER, T E I B.S. in Biology Brooklyn, N. Y. “Art” Salem High School. “Art” is a whirlwind with the female species, alluring them with his genial personality. He is “Tard” Fay’s right hand man, and also holds a prominent place in our Rogue’s gallery. (The A.M. does not signify a degree!) STEVEN COLUCCI A.B. in English Woburn “Petie” Dean Academy; Class Banquet Committee (1); Class Football, Class Baseball, Class Basketball (1, 2); Varsity Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Varsity Football (1, 4); Varsity Basketball Squad (4); Glee Club (4); Sword and Shield. “Petie”, the sweet warbler of the Glee Club, has wounded many hearts with his tearful notes. He is also the cause of the “ump ' s” warbling that sweet refrain—“Strike one, strike two, strike three, the batter’s out!” HAROLD OSCAR CONGDON, A T B.S. in Civil Engineering “Connie” “Spider” Springfield Technical High School; Weekly Staff (1); Glee Club (1); Manager, Class Tennis (1); Rifle Club (1); A. A. F,. (1, 2, 3, 4); Secretary, Evening Party Association (4); Staff Artist JUMBO (4). Besides being an Engineer, “Spider” has literally woven an amorous web, with threads from all the girls’ colleges and a few final strands from Jackson. Must be his cartoonistic temperament! 26

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

MBO RAYMOND FRANCIS CONNOR B.S. in Civil Engineering M EDFORD “Ray” Medford High School; Class Baseball (1, 2). Fame came to “Ray” on the baseball diamond. With him in the pitcher ' s box, the nine of ' 22 won the “Frosh flags for our glorious class. HOLLIS HEATH COYLE, B T B.S. in Civil Engineering Somerville “Rossy” Somerville High School; Class Football (2); ( ' lass Treasurer (3, 4); Cap and Gown Committee (4); A. A. E. (4). Curves are the beauty of this nineteen twenty-two stream line model. The portly gentleman in question guards the strong box which holds the seniors ' glistening wealth. WILLIAM THEODORE CROSBY, 0 X B.S. in French GROV ELAND “Ted” Groveland High School; Glee Club (4). With several colleges to his credit, “Ted” feels that he is suf¬ ficiently experienced to meet the demands of any registrar. “Of course, you ' re only dreaming!”—Theodore. HERBERT MANNING CROWLEY, I A B.S. in Engineering Somerville “Red” Somerville High School; Varsity Wrestling (3); Class Football (2, 3). As his nickname indicates, “Red” is not a brunette. In his spare time “Red” helps “Joe” with his home lessons. Whenever there is a racket in West West, the proctor knows where to look. HENRY JOSEPH CURRY, E T A B.S. in Economics Brookline “Henry” Boston English High School; Class Track (1); Class Banquet Com¬ mittee (2); Calendar Committee (2); Varsity Track (3); Assistant Football Manager (3); Publishing Association (4); Ivy; Tower Cross. Smooth, smiling, suave and sweet — that’s the way Walter Scott would have described this natural-born salesman. Henry has made his way in the world by repeating “Good-morning, madam. I’m one of the Tufts College Boys. 27
