Ml RG J. Homer Roblyer 10 Bacon Street, Wellsboro, Pa. ' ‘ Robe ’ ’ Born at Wellsboro, Pa., July 28, 1899. Pre- pared at Wellsboro High School. Entered Muh- lenberg, 1916. Scientific Course. Delta Theta. WOTA Club. Class Football (2). Winner, Reuben J. Butz Botanical Prize (2). Methodist Episcopal. Independent. Chemistry. This genial mountaineer strayed away from the fastnesses of Tioga County in 1910 and came to Muhlenberg. Three years ’ res- idence in Allentown have not entirely con- verted “Robe” to the ways of the ladies, for he ab-so-lute-ly defies the power and cun- ning of their charms. “Robe’s” pet diver- sions outside of his lessons are the Muhlen- berg box at the Lyric and playing pool. His ability as a scientist received notable recog- nition last commencement when he was awarded the Reuben J. Butz Prize for the best work in Botany. After graduating from Muhlenberg “Robe” will take up In- dustrial Chemistry. Herbert S. Schell Bernville, Pa. ‘ 1 Herbie ’ ’ Born at Bernville, Pa., April 12, 1899. Pre- pared at Bernville High School and Keystone Stati Normal School. Entered Muhlenberg, i 9 1 7 . Clas- sical Course. Delta Theta. Associate Editor, Muhlenberg Weekly (3). Chief Photographer 1920 Ciarla. Class Football (3). Berks Coun- ty Club. K. S. N. S. Club. Muhlenberg S. A. T. C. Lutheran. Non-Partisan. Teaching. He parts his hair in the middle. They say he does this for the same reason that our English Professor parts his on the side. “Herbie” is very modest about the atten- tion his clear-cut appearance attracts among the gentler sex, but it has been found that, it produced some ‘ ‘ Sugar ’ ’ results. Chiefly, he is a conscientious student and a hard worker for the “Weekly.” He is happy when he finds “some good Weekly dope ’ ’ and spends much time in this work. But then, what good can come out of Bern- ville? In answering we would prophesy in him a great American journalist of the fu- ture. We believe that teaching is only a means toward this end, which we sincerely hope is not far distant. 49

Y., Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky. Lutheran. Democrat. Teaching. Gaze upon that handsome face and wondei not that ' ‘ Sherm ’ ’ has to start an index system of his girl friends. On every Glee Club trip, he makes new conquests. How- ever, ‘‘Sherm’’ is very modest, and always says, “How can they help it?’’ He laments that the Club travels so seldom towards Philadelphia this year, but then, there is the mail. Nuf Ced! “Sherm” frequently loses his temper, but left to himself, he soon recovers it. Being one of the founders of the “ T. S. ” Club, shows that he is a booster. He is a worker for all things pertaining to the Class and the College. Harvey A. Reifsnyder Egypt, Pa. ‘ ‘ Beif ’ ’ Born at Egypt, Pa., Aug. 3, 1899. Prepared at Whitehall Township High School and Allentown Preparatory School. Entered Muhlenberg, 1910! Philosophical Course. Delta Theta. Class Tennis Manager (2), (3). Assistant Advertising Mana- ger, 1920 Ciari A. Class Football (2), (3). Muhlenberg S. A. T. C. Reformed. Independent. Teaching. “Beif” came to college quiet and unas- suming but after staying here three years has taken on life to a considerable degree. He and Kline have been colleagues and ad- vocates (?) of Prohibition to such an ex- tent that their determined stand on this question has gotten them into all kinds of arguments. “Beif ' s” experiences here at college have been many and varied. He usu ally manages to get out of bed for his classes which usually begin at one o ’clock. The reason for his late rising has been due, r.o doubt, to the fact that he spends prac- tically every evening in social activities in Catasauqua. With his outside work, ‘ ‘ Beif ’ ! manages to attend college also and his work here seems not to have suffered. He has been very successful as one of the advertis- ing managers of the Ciarla. We wish him like success in his future profession. 48

David J. Schleicher 420 Walnut Street, Catasauqua, Pa. ‘ ‘ Dave ’ ’ Born at Hanoverville, Pa., August 27, 1898. Prepared at Catasauqua High School. Entered Muhlenberg, 1916. Scientific Course. Delta Theta. Associate Editor, 1920 Ciarla. Varsity Baseball Manager (3). Basketball Manager (3), Football Squad (2), (3). Varsity Basketball; “M” man (2|, (3). Assistant Business Manager, Muhlenberg Weekly (2). Associate Editor Muhlenberg Weekly (3). Student Representative to A. A. Pan Hellenic Council. Class Basketball Manager (1), (2). Class Basketball (1). Class Baseball (2), (3). Class Secretary (2;. Class Monitor (2). T. S. Club. Muhlenberg S. A. T. C. Lutheran. Republican. Teaching. He’s an athlete and a business-man. He dabbled in these matters at Catasauqua and perfected himself here. At intervals, to change the monotony of the English language, he invents and speaks a brogue all his own. This cannot be counted to nis discredit, but rather to his initiative, of which he possesses a goodly amount, as his activities in college affairs prove. Football, basketball and baseball compose his col lege course, which he interrupts with some hard work in the laboratory and with frequent, visits to some fair young lady. He works when he works, and plays when he plays, and for this reason has been successful and we hope will always take this success with him. Warren P. Snyder 18 Second Street, Catasauqua, Pa. ‘ 1 Reddy ’ ’ Born at Sehoenersville, Pa., Jan. 8, 1898 Prepared at Catasauqua High School. Entered Muhlenberg, 1916. Scientific Course. Business Manager, 1918 Calendar. Cue and Quill (2), (3). Phi Kappa Tau. Pan Hellenic Council (3); Sec retary (3). Class Basketball. Lutheran. Demo- crat. Chemistry. “Reddy” came to Muhlenberg in the fall of 1916, intent on increasing the sum total of his worldly knowledge. A profound ab- horrence of Latin contracted in High School turned him to the B. S. course. Always ready for a sociable game of cards, “Red- dy” by no means neglects his studies. His first summer vacation at Muhlenberg was spent in the wilds of Monroe County, where, it is authentically reported, he assisted a certain fair maid blow out the light several nights each week. After completing his course in the studious atmosphere of Muh- lenberg and his social course down-town, “Reddy” expects to enter the chemical in- dustry. 50
