And now we come to George Chapman, the Babe in the Wood. Chap,', as he is affectionately called by his classmates, is one of the best liked fellows of the class, as well as one of the school wits CPJ. This year, his third year at the dormi- tory, finds him responsible for the discipline and conduct of the dormitory. His rusty fexcuse mel lusty voice has been heard in the Glee Club for the past two years, as well as in the Choir. He has been the backbone fhis boners hold back the teamj of the soccer squad for the past few years. Also, after struggling through the thundering wake of the school tank during the winter months, George became the possessor of his swimming letter. And what member of H. B. S. doesn't recall with fluttering heart his eloquent speech in praise of the Players? His accomplishment in elevating the Dorm Dance to unheard of success is one of his remarkable achievements of the year. Chap this year was taken into Cadmean as a wise and worthy member. Strangely enough, though a prime fusser-rounder, George has managed to capture second honors several times. Finally, we nominate him for assassination on the grounds that he is re- sponsible for some of the jokes in this edition of the Mabian. Next year his crew hair cut will direct him to Princeton, where we wish him continued success. Bill joined us last year after a two-year ab- scence. Since then he has done much to make us proud. He fluently booted the soccer ball about last year, and was one of this year's mainstays. In the Glee Club he is to be found singing a lusty tenor, much to Mr. Derby's delight. In the spring Bill wields a mean tennis racket, and is on the varsity squad. Cadmean, recognizing his achieve- ments, has elected him this year, and every Thurs- day, Bill drives up to school in the car of cars, an William Barney Coelklley, Jr..

In the speed-wagon, that refuses to speed, Bill, with Nature's help either dusts or waters his occupants in his mad dash to or from school. We wonder if his Fisher Body, but very drafty, fwith apologies to Mr. Scafej car will protect Bill from the frozen norths of Dartmouth, where Bill plans to cut out a career for himself. Take a raccoon coat, Bill. ll4

Was it the Newburg blast furnaces? No-Charlie 1Gable1 Caplan, playboy of the Senior Class. Charlie has calmed down somewhat since he entered the first grade, when he was the lower school bully. However, he is still willing to step a few fast rounds if there is any female involved. He cannot be called lazy, but he does have a peculiar antipathy for work. Every Saturday last fall, Charles forsook his place on the bench 1right at the end1 to cheer the team on to victory. Every special period Chuck may be found in the Choir Room making wisecracks at Mr. Derby, and now and then doing a little singing on the side. He is also the proud owner of a snappy Ford, that may be seen almost every night in front of Virginia's house. In addition, he has proved himself a finished product and one of Mr. Springer's famous wrestlers. Charlie is starting out for the Uni- versity of Florida next year, but it is rumored that his car will John Hugluls Cavender, Jr. Track Team 121 131, Captain 1413 Basketball 121 141g Glec Club 121 1313 Players 1415 Cadmean Society 131, Secretary 1414 Edward Moore Society 131 1415 Varsity Club 131 141, Athletic Council 141g Choir 1413 Junior Varsity Football 111. There is little prominent in University School that is HOC connected with Jack Cavender. Choir, Players, Varsity Track, and Basketball Varsity Teams, all hold him among their most respected members. On Thursday nights he occupies the dignified position of Secretary of the Cadmean Society. Starring especially in athletics, Jack is Captain of the Track Team, where he participates in many events. During the winter he excelled on the basketball floor, causing many feminine break down around Kenyon. hearts to throb as his lanky frame leapt into the air. Next year Jack plans to join his many friends at Cornell. The best wishes of his class- mates follow him, all hoping for the repetition of his success at University School. His scintillating wit will be missed by everybody, especially Mr. Gunn and Mr. Walton. Jack can add to his bril- liant humor a certain adroitness at sofa polo, that keeps him in constant demand among the local debs.

The dark-haired young man, who is often seen about the school taking pictures, is none other than Bob Cummer, the school photographer. This demon of the negatives does not always hide behind his camera, for he has taken an active Part in the school's activities. One is led to believe that he is a fine manager, for on almost any day in spring he can be seen running about managing anything in the way of track events. He is very much devoted to the place he goes to every summer in Michigan, where one is liable to meet him at the bottoms of lakes in his diving helmet or racing his out-board motorboat. Many of us wonder if it is just these two attractions which make him repeat his visits? He says the girls are nice. Bob is very comical, for one can never forget his famous wrestling matches with the boys in which he played more the part of a wild man than a wrestler. Bob can get along with almost everybody, and he is one of the best liked members of the Senior Class. .llohn Nicholas Davenport Senior Class Secretary 1415 Mabian Board 1415 Var- sity Soccer 131 1415 Varsity Track 131 1415 Freshman Track 1115 Varsity Club 131 1415 Athletic Council 1415 Varsity Basketball Manager 1415 School Prefect 1415 Cad- mean Society 131, Vice-President 1415 Edward Moore Society 131 1415 Glee Club 131 1415 Players 1315 Senior Room Ofiicer 1415 Varsity Track Squad 1215 All-Class Basketball 1215 Junior Prom Committee 1315 Cadmcan Dance Committee 1415 Senior Prom Committee 141. Some three and a half years ago a boy came from Hawken and took his place among our ranks. Since that time he has developed into a handsome young man. During this time Johnny also seems to have developed into somewhat of a ladies' man, if we judge by the sudden stir among the feminine sex when he is around. But don't let us give the wrong impression, for Johnny is one of the most popular and best liked fellows in the Senior Class. His activities show his abili- ties in many different lines, and fellows admire him for his open smile and cheerful nature. He is much in evidence about the school, driving a blue Chevrolet phaeton, which is his pride and joy and which he proudly calls Henry VIII. He terrifies many a passenger by his art of driving at furious rates 1if it can go that fast1 while sur- veying the bordering scenery or gazing at the girls. Next year Johnny plans to explore the cold regions around Dartmouth.
