Varsity Football C455 Varsity Baseball Purdy from Penn Yan, the biggest, and one ofthe best liked fellows on the hill. But for all his greatness of size Purdy is as meek and gentle as a lamb. ln one year Purd has crowded in all sorts of extra activities. Last full our football team would have been lost without his IQO pound hulk bowling 'em over at guard. Although Ames had never played basketball he went out for the team and played second team center in a creditable fashion. Now he is out for base ball and is looking good. ln his spare moments he toys with the shot and discus. Purdy hasn't a lazy bone in his body, so we feel sure that good things are bound to come his way. Good luck old fellow. luis Slean Richer Rzmy Littleton, N.

But we envy you nevertheless because it is very becoming, although rather inconvenient at times especially when you want to wear a pink or red dress. However, red hair isn't all that is good about Lois. She has a peach of a disposition, and as to her abilityin typewriting no one can touch her. lt seems quite natural to hear the steady, even click of the typewriter coming from her room. Lois goes laughingly along her way, and proofs of her wit may be found in the V. A. Life,of which she is joke editor. XVho knows but that wc may have here a budding editor for another Life. mbnmag Riley, jf, Tom Brooklyn, N. Y.

His solos in the music recital of March 25th were excellent, and he has received no end of congratulations. Tom does not profess to be an athlete, but we know he is a golf player. hlost any spring day he may be seen driving alittle white sphere about the campus and yelling, 'I ore. Tom is also a very fine tennis player and, next to golf, this is his chief pastime. We are all glad that he decided to leave Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn to come up here and gradu- ate with the Class of '27. MV' Wa. Hwy- . fi' KM' 'A' rf

Her natural quietness hides that, however. The fact that she, being a town girl, doesn't give the rest of us a chance to know her very well cannot hide the sweet disposition and sparkling smile of her per- sonality. YVe'll miss her daintiness, yes, even her little toueh of devilrry when she takes up her training at the Mass. General I Iospital.

You certainly can play basketball as you have proven in the League games this year. hlany a sigh has been given by yourpoor disabled opponents. If you go at things in the future as you have at this, yoI1 certainly will come out on top. Don't forget to do all you can to help put Saxtons River on the map.

Poupart the student and Poupart the eater, one and the same man and the combination works to perfection. Poupart the eater helps Poupart the student and vice versa, for the more he eats the better student he is, and the better student he is the more he has to eat. Very few times has his name failed to appear on the High Honor list. In spite of spending much of his time within the conhnes of his room, in bed, he is a fellow with no end of spirit and tenacity. He has been an ardent follower of all sports since his arrival here, and has tried his hand at most all of them with no mean degree of success, con- sidering his slightness of stature. Poup is planning to be a doctor, and he has the hearty good wishes of his classmates.

Fred, for Brother Robinson would be a better name for him, for some day he will surely be a deaconj came to V. A. last fall to review his subjects before entering Middlebury this fall. He has had honors in every report, and will probably experience little difficulty in ob- taining admission to the college of his dreams. Fred is not the type with whom one easily becomes acquainted, but his friendship is of a lasting kind. Among other things that he has learned this year, one is waiting on table. This, no doubt, will help him materially while at college. We're all wishing you luck, old fellow. mhgmgg Rggh Tommy Hartford, Conn.

A. Tom's -Iunctioniteu predecessors have established an enviable record, and a great deal has been expected of him. He is indeed no exception to the group as he made his presence felt on the gridiron. But his ability does not cease here. As a drummer in the school's orchestra he is in a class by himself, as he can handle the sticks as few others are able to do. Tom can be satisfied, but not very easily. However, this is a good point in his character, as it applies to everything that comes his way. He's not.even satisfied with himself, and is always trying to better Conditions.

Rugg has been a student at V. A. for four whole years and has proved himself to be a capable student and a good friend. Wilbur is a busy chap, in fact he is almost never seen standing still. He always goes about his business in a quiet, modest way. He has not neglected the athletic end of school activities as he demonstrated last winter in the Winter Carnival. If he continues to do his usual good work and shows his usual amount of interest, his future success is assured. 4. O .Vg W' Aff tw ' . I Ji : 4. -4 .4-. .. '
