Honest, Sammy, you will miss your calling if you don ' t take up architecture,” ventured one of Sammy ' s admirers. “Aw, take a stroll, you make me sick,” replies the boy with the blonde beard. “All right, all right. I don ' t want to argue with you,” came softly. Then Sammy starts the argument in earnest. He could argue thru a piece of steel, close up the hole and take the reverse argument and come back thru. The fellows leave Sammy after an hour’s argument. “Do you know Sammy always takes everything seriously,” said the one. “Yes, I noticed,” said the other, “especially training for the Minister- Pagan game.” “And now,” said a third, “if training is the prime factor in track Sammy will be the streak of lightning.” “But, fellows,” said the fourth, “you forget that Sammy studied Latin with all

With a rush, hat in one hand and grip in the other, hair parted in the center of his wheel-shaped dome, a spick young man hit the campus bound for the 10.48. “Yo, Fitz! Where to?” “Just a trip to the big city. Some of the old stuff, see. Big dance dowm there, will see you tomorrow.” The star miler passed out of sight to tend to his beat in the city. On deck the next day appeared Fitz, Economics book under one arm and a Logic book under the other, walking slowly to the dormitories. “Well, I’m back. Finished an Economies report coming up on the car. Boy, maybe they don’t pull some stuff at the dances in the big city. Got some new stuff that will set the natives on their ears. I figure I can shine for a night (flourish of the hand). I’ll have to spring it at Mealey’s tomorrow night. Watch me pull it. Look me over. Some tie, eh. Speaks for itself, you know ' . I guess it’s about time for me to get a little sleep. So long!”

WALDEMAR L. GALEENKAMP 1640 Madison Ave., Scranton, Pa. Born in New York City, March 9, 1894. Prepared at Scranton High Schools. En- tered Muhlenberg in the fall of 1913. Classical Course.

To get fully acquainted with the subject of this sketch turn on and look for He they . “Bumps” came from Scranton which showed his good judgment, but he still insists that Scranton is a “real place” and not half as bad as painted. This gentleman is a swimming fiend and has a string of medals a yard long. lie spoiled five or six prospective jobs for Scranton undertakers, yet he never told us a word about it. It is rumored the American Undertakers’ Association is educating him for the ministry, so that he will not become a professional life-saver. As an entertainer “Bumps” is a live wire and many a party has gathered around the fireplace in “Galley’s” room to sing, tell stories and swap lies. The one draw- back to these gatherings is Heffley, who insists on going to bed at 10.30 and thus dampens (?) the ardor of the crowd. “Bumps” is a remarkable student. He has been known to recite in class while fast asleep. He can speak English and German fluently, can tell a good story and knows how to read. Who has not thrilled to hear him read the dramatic speeches of Anthony and Brutus, the philosophy of Hamlet, the ribaldry of Falstaff, the tenderness of Heine and the Abscheid lied from the “Trompeter of Sakkigcn ”? Waldemar is to be a minister. All we can say is “Happy will be the church that gets him.”
