Capt. C41 There are many people who are well known for what they say but are never found doing much. There are those who say little and do much. Wheat LaClair is of the latter type. Little noise, but with- out whom many football victories might have been defeats. In basketball and baseball as well, Vklheat is equally outstanding and litany times the stands have rung with his name. For all his shyness he is immensely popular. In social circles VVheat is not so prominent on the hill but-well ask him about the attractions down street. Raul jflgjaamarg Maru Charlestown, N. H. cEN1cm1. P. G. AT v.

Paul did not attract a great deal of attention until football practice began. 'I'hen he showed his wares and immediately won himself a place on the first eleven as a halfback. Throughout the season his whole energy was directed always toward his opponents' goal line. 'l'o say that he attained that goal would be a mild statement, for he was elected captain for the year 1927. Yes, hlac intends to return here this fall as a P. G. After December Ist this boy might have been seen cavorting about on the basketball floor. His efforts in this sport were as successful as in football. Here, too, he earned the captaincy for the 727 and '28 season, as a result of his efforts. Besides all these abilities Xlac has been prominent in other student activities.

Charlie is an interesting character. A quiet, unassuming chap, very little was known of him at the beginning of this year. But once he is started, Charlie never runs out of stories. llc is, perhaps, the most widely read student in school. As Charlie Brooks in the Literary play he was a hit and deserves much credit for his work here. lncidentally he gained his longed-for moustache. Throughout the year he has been an ardent supporter ofthe Literary Society's activi- ties. Charlie has also been prominent in scholastic work. In lirench, especially, he has been one of hlr. Osborn's most apt stu- dents. VVe understand that he is going to Harvard in the fall. He will enjoy success there, for a man with his mental capacities and personal attraction cannot fail anywhere. 1 ,J ,f 7414, :ua WV rflvvv 40' . 12 Lf chu 1 i af , -5 W I glam! pf-Qf, .

A short time after the opening of school in the fall, a large trunk tagged Betty Howe came to Alumni Hall. Of course everyone was very anxious to know her and, I wonder what she will belike, 'was heard all over the dorm. But no one expected as much as came, in moie ways than one, for she is not only the tallest girl in Alumni Hall, but where would our basketball team be but for her? We can't forget either the points that she won for the Seniors in the Winter Carnival. All the year Betty has helped to make Thursday morning Chapels enjoyable with her music on the violin. YVell Betty, we wish you all success, and we know that your cheery smile will be a big help in getting it. Qing igllll Alice Ii. Longmeadow, Mass. P. c.. AT v. A. Nothing but blufbirdy all day long.

'l'he way he wears his clothes, parts his hair, his walk, his tastes, and his neat- ness distinguish him. To look at this young: fellow one would think him a very demure boy, but don't be fooled. lillis has always liked to keep to himself more or less. Long walks in the woods and softly playing the piano seem to be his two favorite hobbies. lfllis has an artistic temperament. Altliough it has been but seldom that we have heard lfllis play the piano, on the few occasions that we have been privileged to hear him, he has startled us with his extraordinary ability. lie has made his presence very etlective in the Christian Associations of the school and also in the Parliamentary Law Course The future must indeed hold something: bright for this likable chap. -J , ' MEIBIIS Elflljtlgnn '4Sparky Xkiardsboro, Yt. sciiaxriric xraicxra Noaxur. scnoor.

Wvheu Sparky first graced the portals of the institution he was a small, unassuming lad whom one would not expect to set the world alire. Ile had not been here longbefore he gave evidence of beiniga real student and a good worker. As business manager of the Life this past year he has proved himself to be a man ofexceptional business ability. This fellow really ought to continue his education, as he probably will. If such is the case, no end of sueeess will be his due.

Mills has not done a great deal in the athletic line as most of his free time has been taken up with other work. As a student he ranks among the best in school. lXfIills is a new student here this year, having been graduated from Brandon High School in IQZS. More students of his type are what every school needs to keep it up scholastically. Nothing but success and good health do we wish him. jill, lfligghgtlj jmingfh Westminster West, Vt.

XVe will never forget the samples of her Cooking that she has brought up to us from the Home Ee room, lucious chocolate cake, jelly tarts, hot rolls-oh! everything for which we do so crave sometimes. But she can do more than cook. just watch her play baseball and she won not a few points for us in the skiing events in the Winter Carnival.

She is a town student and therefore we donlt know her half as well as we would like to, at least the girls don't. Some of the fellows, though, we know, have spent many a happy Sunday afternoon down at Florenee's and those of us who aren't so fortunate are inclined to be envious. lVe donit know what you expect to do after you graduate. Perhapsit is Home Economics because you seem to shine along that line. XVell, whatever it is, we wish you all possible success.
