'l'hat's David Nlills, just a sincere, honest worker on wholn one may depend to do his best. 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. We shall miss Minerva ll great deal after we leave school, and wish her well in whatever she goes. jflgfgmgg jllgfriggn Florenee', Saxtons River, Vt.

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.

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, .

This year she has proved to be a very efficient secretary for both the Y. W. C. A. and the Glee Club-in fact she seems to be a born secretary. But that is not all she can do, for Eleanor is one of our pianists, and is often seen down in the reception room seated at the piano. You managed to play successfully last year at the recital, Eleanor, in spite of all your fears, and know you can do the same this. Sometimes, maybe, the fussers envy you when you open the door Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, but never mind. You do your part famously. Here's hoping you make college, Eleanor, and are successful in the future. Buhlep fill. QB. Jillustbette Dud,' E. Orange, N. J.

Dudley visiting on the hill found the ol' place just to his liking and stayed. We're glad he did for he's been one of our real live wires. Wc'll just pick his most outstanding accomplishments. Our peppy, scrappy little end on the team was the reason why few, if any, ever ran around his sidc of the line. All through the season Dud showed the man in him. And studies! He's been the consistently reliable man scholastically that he was athletically. Besides this, he was our cute little star in the Literary play, and has proven himself a great actor. He needs no praise! Hc's been as popular as any one can beg school will miss him. Dud had intended to take the Classi- cal course, but after Christmas vacation he branched off into the Agricultural which has occu ied his attention off and on ever since. Next year Dud is going to Colgate and his success there is assured. agilhd GKQUUU Hilda Saxtons River, Vt. GENERAL MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL Romeo come forth, come forth thou fearful man.

Poor Hilda, the boys so love to kid you, but never mind, you are a good sport, and we know how they enjoy Sunday afternoons and your delicious fudge. They tell us you are going to train for a nurse. We will then expect to see you the super- intendent of one of our big New England hospitals. By the way Hilda there will be your chance to gain revenge against those boys who have so unmercifully teased you. G if
