A3255 U -- 615, ' J:-,-...tg FRANK CLIFTON FOSTER, AKE Frank Burton High School, Burton, lfVashingtOn, ,125 McMinnville College, ex-'16, President Student Volunteers, 3, Secretary, 45 Treas- urer Y. 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

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

' H ' i 'nj ' ,,... mlll ll ...az-5. ... . . aa. a aff , 5:25.12 JOHN Notuzrs HARRIMAN, A T Sz I KJ nl I Tilton Seminary, ,IIQ Dartmouth, ex-'I5! Student Council, 2g, Class Baseball, 2, Base- ball Squad, 25 New Hampshire Club, 3, 4. People on the campus know John this year. Other years they knew it was Harriman, but whether John or Bill the Lord only knew. Such a resem- blance was often very convenient, as for instance Exams or Faculty teas, but under such conditions Harriman had to be a collective term. Bill was eliminated this year by marriage, and John, the other twin sister, had to return alone. One Harriman isnit quite as good as two because he can't be in two places at once, but outside of that we don't notice much difference. Iohn is an expert at slinging the English language, at playing basketball, at boxing, and at fussing. LEoN DRUMMOND I-IERRING, A K E Leon Coburn Classical Institute, '12, Class Track Team, I, Football Squad, 1, 2, junior Prom Committee, 31 Chairman Committee, 3. Class Ode Leon's greatest ambition is to grow as tall as Kolseth. Leon formerly dwelt in the wilds of Fair- lieldg but. Ending that he could not afford the ear- fare, he finally decided to take up his abode in a real town. He has been known to go to a dance and would be quite a favorite among the weaker sex were it not for his diminutive stature. VVhen you get to know him, Leon is a pretty good fellow, in spite of his failing. Never mind, Leon, Napoleon was about your size. EDMUND jmues PIIGGINS, AT Q KiHigH Dexter High School, 12, Class Track, 1, 2, Class Baseball, 2, Chemical Physical Society. Society 5 l-lig combines the inscrutability of the Sphinx with the wisdom of the ages. He rarely speaks, but when he does, he says something. Vtfe would be- lieve he wasrft a fusser if we hadn't seen him buy that stuff on Maine's money? If you want any- thing done around the place, don't ask Higgins-he's probably doing it already. Though he's not a heavy weight, it is rumored that he's a bad man in a scrap. and his ability to shoot baskets in a basketball game is nothing short of uncanny. Wfhen you get that 310.000 job, let us know, Higg we expect it of you. ,si Li f :' Q. 5 . :. 9 i l ii 9 gig . .V is 2 . 4 if ll fi i li -A ,Q 'arf
