PHILIP O. POTTS. Second Lieutenant, Company A. Die H'0Ikcn 1l0Ilg6'Il ilzm um den Kofff Philip is this year the tallest oliicer in the First Battalion. His proficiency as an officer is pro- portionate to his height, too. Besides his mil- itary honors, Phil bears the distinction of starring in German class-sometimes. ROBERT H. PRITCH.-XRD. Point XYinner, Track Team. 1911. Bob, Pitcher, 'L-Ind born him fuel. as of so Iitcl space. As an eccentric cadet. a promising athlete and a conspicuous figure of school life. Bob has proceeded to develop his mental and intellectual activities to such a degree that we stand back amazed at the inconceivable energy of which he is possessed, GEORGE E. QUINTER. Silence is golden. Mr. XYilson has said that so long as a boy gets along well in his studies, he is doing some- thing for the school. George is modest, so of course will not show you his report, but if you will go to the oiiice and look at his record, you will be quite convinced that here. at least. is a model for Mr. lYilson's remark. lVe admire him also for the way he supports our school activities. 62

EDGAR M. PARKMAN. To live among books is my delight. Many of us have wondered how Edwin works at the library and yet upholds his studies so creditably. Ask him. He will probably reply: When you are in doubt, look over your spec- tacles with a wise expression and the teacher will pass you by. PHILIP G. POLLARD. Football Team, 19093 Point Winner Track Team, 1910. Polly, Phil. Cheer up, you'll soon be dead. Polly is another member of the February class who prefers to graduate with us. Phil's three accomplishments may be enumerated as: A social leader of some renown, a history stu- dent who knows all that has happened from Adam to Taft, and a capable athlete. It has been only lack of weight which has kept him from a regular football position, as his speed and aggressiveness are equal to the best. The high school society circles would be lost with- out his presence. WILLARD A. POLLARD, Manager Track Team, 1911-125 Point Winner Track Team, 19115 Editor-in-Chief of the BREcKY g Review Staff. Dutch A scholar of some renown. It is considered creditable for one to pass straight through his high school course, but when one skips a semester he is a star. Such a star is D'utch. He entered a half-year be- hind his class and graduates with it. He also supports his school in athletics, being a track man of great ability. He has been our manager for two years on the track, 61

ROBERT R. R.-XNSON. Major, First Battalion. This is the happy 'ZUIll'l'Z.Ul'. The Major can always be distinguished from the common rabble by his dignified stride and set-up. He looks every inch a soldier and, from the reports of his subordinates, he knows more about tactics than he could recite or maneuver in an afternoon. Robert expects to wind up at West Point, and then strengthen Uncle Sammie's fighting forces, ALGERNON P. REEVES. Business Manager of the 'lBRI2cKY. ffAlgy-H A mah who deals in gold and sili'e1'. The characteristic which will leave the last impression of Algy on us will be his persistence in separating us from our ducats. Despite his financial occupations, he finds sufficient leisure to take his Fling at society. He is quite character- ized by his life as a society plunger, which often leads him in the direction of Eckington. RUDOLF SCI-IOENFELD. Football Team, 1911. Rudie. A youth who malecfs his prcsczzre felt. Those who did not attend the football games last fall may see a large part of the contests de- picted here, for Rudie was the field general of our team in the quarterback position. To hear his rapid recital of all kinds of complicated for- mulae, one might think that he was a star in mathematics, but so far as we know he has never startled the faculty in that respect. He does, though, maintain a good average in the class room. 63
