We hear from various sources that Doane is actually considering graduation with the present out-going class. Doane's whereabouts during the hrs-t of his college years have always been somewhat of a mystery to us. Doane l utilizes I his spare nioments in learning how to d1SpCllSC light to the benighted citizens of Waterville. This he does un- der his father's supervision. Like his father, he also has a bent towards law. If you do not believe it ask Prexy. FRED CHARLES ENGLISIT, QIJAG Freddie Aroostook Central Institute, ,IL Sopho- more Declamation, Vice-Prescident Aroos- took Club, Secretary Outing Club, Excuse Gfhcerg Physical Society. Whart's' in ci mime? Only two persons have ever come to Colby and not had the honor of meeting you and these two never had.a chance to take a course in the excuse office. This little brilliant fellow has made the ex- cuse a success for the Greeks say that 'tbig men are the servants of little men. He is not much of a society man, but he has a good deal of gray matter and we expect to hear that he has made his mark in the world. THEODORE F IELDBRAVE, C. C. ifTedO!JJ KdTeddy!!

That's Teddy' Prince of India. Professor Libby says Mr. Fieldhrave makes the most perfect and graceful bow he ever saw. At any rate, it is certain that the ladies all fall for Tedo's polished manner and versatile con- versational powers, May success and happiness attend you in your life work. 29

C. iKDO'blJ Ionesport High School, 'ogg Dramatic Club, 1, Band, 2, Associate Editor ORACLE, 3 3 Assistant in the Geology Department, 3, 4. To use his own words, he's just plain Dob. Right from the Ionesport clam tlats and boiled Shorts, where they catch sharks every morning before breakfast from the parlor window. He it is who judiciously divides his time between the Palmer House and Dr. Little's rock collection. ln fact, so important has Dob become to the latter depart- ment, that Dr. 'Little is seriously deliberating whether to persuade him to come back next year or close shop. Dob is generally a peaceful citizen except when he is rudely awakened at 2 A. M. But then,- the scientific manner in which he can pile thebeds in the stairway would make Jess 'Willard green with envy. Although quiet and reserved, Dobbin is a man of sterling qualities. VVe shall expect much of him after he annexes that Ph.D. FRANKLIN MAvo :DYER Vene Cony High School, 1912, Class Track Team, I, 2, Chess Club, 1, 2, 35 Progressive Club, 1 g Class Day Nominating Committee, 3, junior Exhibition, Republican Club, 35 Gym', Smoker Committee, 3, Debating So- ciety, 3, Republican Club, 4. Franklin Dyer, an inhabitant of the Capital City, no wonder he can pass Political Science with good rank since he comes from a city of Very hilly nature and also at certain seasons of the year when the City of Augusta is Hooded with brilliant senators ex- postulating their experiences of the past. VVe take off our hats to the next Governor of Maine. But we hope, Mr. Dyer, that when you become the admin- istrator of the laws of the State of Maine that you will not forget your Alma Mater. HENRY ADoLrH EATON, C. C. Henry Wfhitefield High School, 'Log Band, I, 2, 3, 4, Class Secretary, 3, Chemical Society, 3, 4, Druids. VVe haven't seen as much of Henry as we would have liked. Naturally quiet, his greatest happiness lies within the shades of Chemical Hall, pursuing the elusive reaction. Speaking of being quiet, Henry certainly put the Maxim-Silencer on one of his ac- tivities. VVe never even suspected that he ever in- dulged in the joyful pastime of fussing, when, lo! one evening we met him with two. His cousins, he said. 'Tis -oft quoted, Henry, L'Still waters run deep. NVe surely believe it true in your case, and shall expect great things of you in -the realm of solu- tions and molecules. 28

M. C. A., 4, Tennis Team, 3, 4, lfVearer Colby HC. Frankl' hails from the wild and woolly VVest, from 'way out in the state of Wfashington. Con- trary to all expectations, f'Frank is a very docile chap and doesn't shoot up -people at all. He can shoot the tennis balls over in good shape, just the same. In both these respects he resembles his brother Iohn, who left us some time since. 'fFrank'l is a missionary in embryo. He plans to go out on the far Hoang-ho and teach the yellow people how to raise rice. Good luck, F1'ank. yVe all haven't got the nerve to do it. BENJAMIN FULLER GREER, IR., CD A GJ Bennie Colby Academy '12, Kew Hampshire Club, Mandolin Club, 4, Glee Club, 4, Pres- ident of the Armadillo Club. He dances like cm Angel. This gentle youth on entering college put aside athletics and the honor which they might bring him and delved into Bowling and other great indoor sports. Aside from the time he spent in these branches of human activities he found time to master all his courses and has gone thru mathematics with more care than any other living Colby graduate. Vlfhen the last of In-ne comes round and you and your ever pleasant smile are seen no more on the campus all will have reason to miss you. ARTHUR EMERSON GREGORY, ATQ KiGreg73 Wa1'1'en High School, ,II g Freshman Prize Sptakingg Colby Physical Society. Oh, Gregory was handsome, and Gregory was a sport, And Gregory was a fusser-had a girl in every port- And Gregory was a wise one, and long- and hard he fought, But Gregory he got cornered, and Gregory he got caught. And Gregory lost his frat pin-he got it back 'tis true ' ' But he found he couldnlt keep it, all his good re- solves fell through- 1 So now he's safely anchored, goes out calling every night And returns all hours of morning, when the East is growing light, And in soft and dulcet accents at the telephone each day You will hear him sweetly whisper in the ear of 571-Ji 30
