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

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.

Laurie has been for some years a faithful resident in Pickands Hall and hails from Wooster where it is said he has many feminine admirers. One can hardly fail to notice Laurie, because of his curly 1and we mean curly5 red hair which makes one think of Harpo Marx. But most of us do not think of Laurie as having red hair or of being an excellent breaststroker on the Varsity swimming squad 1even though this is important enough5 but we remember him as being the school Mabian Board 1453 Players 125 135 145. Our subject, dear reader, is the conscientious, indeed, too conscientious, Dick Dyer, who shoulders the mighty task of chairman of the Board of Prefects. Behold him attempting to instill the wrath of the Almighty in erring under-classmen. His voice booms, roars as he exhorts, pleads, condemns. Masters at leisure tremble as suggestions Alumni Room. But Dick's With his size, with his voice, with his manner, he attempts to instill dignity into his Board. irritate him, tantalize him. 1He has even been forced to sus- pend a majority for a fortnight.5 Indeed, all is not roses for this, our biggest senior. Even is he thwarted in his three great loves, named in order reversed to preference: His Hsh which persist in dying for himg his shot- putting which is always best immediately before or immediately after each track meet: and-well, Cadmean and Edward Moore meetings, according to best information available in Dick's home, last till ten in the evening or beyond. And Dick is heading for the best college in the country, Harvard. He wants to get an education. of an earthquake issue from the control of his Board is fleeting. But to naught. They mock him, mathematician. In this realm he is the acme of success, and it is rumored that he shows even Mr. Vfalton how to do diflicult problems, and that he does all the Dorm's mathematical homework. Many of us think that he will end up by being a famous astronomer and figuring out how far we are from nowhere. Laurie has taken difficult parts in the Players performances and is an honor student. Next year he plans to go to M. I. T. and study-guess what?-Math.
