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.

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

But Bud doesn't sail in the ordinary fashion: he sails his body through space. After a ten foot pole-vault bar, one watching him easily float over can sympathize with those who must meet such competitiong or, watching him arch high in the air from a swaying springboard to cleave the water in a perfect dive, one can realize that the swimming team is assured of at least one first place. To climax his athletic career, Bud sailed through all opposition, and emerged winner of the All-Around Athletic Contest. Scholastically, Bud has obtained first honors each monthg but whether his success is due to a sudden devotion to study or to the breakdown of his famed pool table is a matter of conjecture. For him, the duties of a Senior Room Director seem to consist mainly in directing mischievous pranks, then searching industriously for the per- petrator. Bud is also an energetic member of the Edward Moore and Cadmean Societies, as all the former pledges will remember. 1 But he will have his turn at pledgeship at Cornell. Paul Albert Calhoun Domino With our passage from our hallowed portals of U. S, we wish to speak of Paul Domino, man- ager of managers and handy man of handy men. We of the society of prevention of degeneration and decadence of University School are wonder- ing just what mechanical wizard or how many of the hoi polloi will be required to fill his profuse and diverse positions next year. We are looking for a man of seething ambition, of industry, and great knowledge of the intricacies of the motion picture cameraf Seriously, Paul has entered into the managerial positions in a big way, starting with the Varsity swimming team and Players in his Junior year and working up, or perhaps down, Glee Club 131 1415 Players, Manager 131 1415 Or- chestra 1l1 1215 Choir 131 1415 Swimming Team Man- ager 1315 Gym Team Manager 141, Edward Moore Society 1415 Varsity Club 131 141. to the managership of the Gym team and again that of the Players. His-as you might call it- extra extra curricular activity, to which there is no deserved reward or distinction attched except that of self-satisfaction or knowledge of helpful- ness to others, deals with the operation of the school's slide projector in the darkened auditorium, where he dexterously manipulates the slides with only a very occasional one being upside down. However, Paul has not gone unrewarded for it is rumored that he has gained the cherished member- ship of the Edward Moore Society through his philanthropic functions. Paul as yet is unde- cided concerning his college choice, but Where- ever he goes we feel sure that he will be a success. ll6
