HE shrill wind call of the hunting horn echoes through the stillness ot the October woods. The chase is on, and in the van is 28's leading devotee of the hunt-one Googie. Scoffers are referred to the curators of the Smithsonian Institute for the production of such evidence as the famous l3eierschmitt Wolf. Time and again, esconced in his easy chair with wisps of smoke, from one of his famous collection of pipes, wreathing to the ceiling, Bier has told us of his famous exploit so that it has become an epic as those of Homer or Virgil. Lest you think that hunting and collecting pipes are Bier's only accomplish- ments, we might add that the sweet strains of his fiddle have brought joy to the hearts of many fair damsels in Worcester and its environs. His technique in drawing the innards of various cars, etc., has placed him well in the van of our embryonic UM. D.'s. As vice-president of the Chemist's Club, he proved his worth with the test tube and often has he demonstrated the worth of a close perusal of the Laws of Chance. In short, friends, our Bier refutes the argument that a Jack of all trades can be master of none. Blessed with a wholesome ambition, he will go far in the realm of his chosen profession, that of llfledicine. i29l .

CCE honestus homo! or, as the vulgate would have it, hereis a chap you can trust even though he does come from Holy Cross. That is, his classmates elected him chancellor of the 1928 exchequer and when a man is named class treasurer hereabouts in this day and age it is a significant tribute to his qualities as a man anmng men. It might be advanced, of course, that the class of 1928 considered it had taste ever to maintain a balance in its treasury, but to raise that point would be foolish and footless, if not positively unkind. Besides the llletropolitan Club, that nefarious crowd of city-slickers, trusted John B. with their annual danceg and that bunch demands honesty, ability and results. Whenever a head usher was needed to direct operations in handling a lecture or concert crowd, the cry was raised Get Baxterf' Remember the remarkable urbanity and smoothness this man, John, displayed in his official position as houseman at the Dramatic Club's presentation of Richelieu. llffany of the Worthy burghers of the town left the play thinking that the aforesaid Baxter was the owner of the show, such was his efficient and diplomatic handling of allairs. Truly Brady is a Big Cperator. i281

E present the representative of Woonsocket, the versatile protAemps Senior, the inventor of many slogans which lighten the burden of the oppressed college man, chief of which was Nil in feminis est. For four years Louie has exemplified the qualities of a true gentleman, whether in the classroom, in the bull session or at a chess tournament, calling upon the god or goddess of Chance for a birdie or a sacred elephant. His sphere is the superlative. We state, and righteously so, that ire shall never deter him from his already excellent path of living. In the future years if fame is not had at home then we shall find him in the Utopia of reality, respected, loved and prosperous. His shingle shall acclaim him as the Doctor of Utopia. Lou, during his collegiate course, has been of a steadfast, jolly and lovable nature which seems to be quite contagious. With every breath he seems to mould a new friend and his friendship is everlasting. He possesses that something plus of which we heard much in Senior. This winning personality of his will ever be the unseen angel which shall urge loftier achievements and the resultants will never be in doubt. Our wish is that you continue in your successful journeying on the tides of life and thus bring renown and glory both to yourself and to your Alma Mater. E301 i I ' J L r g 1
