FRED WILLIAM LEISTIKOW lfred William Leistikow came from the large city of Grafton, North Dakota. which fact is fully impressed upon us. l-le has been known as l.isty at 'I'hroop since Septem- ber 26, IQO4, entering into the difficult literary course. His chief stunts are tennis, base- ball, automobiling, and seeing how many different combinations of clothes he can wear a week, and queening. He won the tennis tournament last year, but we wonder where the cup is. 'l'his year he had dreams of winning the tournament at Nordhoff, but it was only a night-mare. He is president of the A. O. N. ll. We wonder what it is! There may be many fair virtues but Grace appeals to Listy most.

WALTER RALPH PITTENGER Pitt Entered 'l'hroop 1902. as freshman. Succeeded in winning the CotTin declamation prize at the end of lfreshman year. A list of the things he has butted into seems not inappropiate here: Editor of the Polytechnic for '04-'05 and '05-'06, Member the Gnome Club. President of the Debating Club, '04-'o5. Secretary of the Inter-scholastic Debating League '05-'o6. Member of the Glee Club for the past two years. Winner of the lnter- scholastic Oratorical Contest '05, Member of the cast of the Senior farce, and to cap the climax, he succeeded in electing himself president of the Senior Class. Mr. Pittenger desires me to state here officially that he is not a member of the Phi Alpha Sigmas. Mr. Pittenger will not be with us next year as he has been otiered a lucrative position in a neighboring brass foundry. Sic transit gloria mundi. May we rest in peace. ROBERT WADE POINDEXTER A member of the graduating class of '06. He began his career at 'Vhroop in 1904, and com- pleted the Scientific Course in the short space of two years. Outside of his school work his interests are diverse, as he is often seen on the tennis courts, and is one of the solid supporters of the Athletic and Debating Clubs. llis dignity has never been distressed by a nick-name-nay, not even Bob,-and his name and fame have remained unsoiled by the Josh columns of the Poly. WALTER PENN TAYLOR Tea Entered 'I'hroop in September, 1902. Diligently pursued the Scientific Course. Mem- ber of that great and argumentative society, the 'l'hroop Debating Club, and also a member of the Glee Club. A student of the first magnitude. 'I'he only thing about him which equals his qualities in this line is his enormous capacity for pan-cakes, as demonstrated on the Grinnell trip, 1905. As a singer lie is a real musical prodigy. 10 1. at '...l.,..g ...La .L.re..u....Lgs.Lz.u.2hnf......1.
