Gerhard Mahler, Tecumseh, Nel r. Several years ago Dutch came to our institution from the distant south, from Brazil, and since then, many interesting- stories have been related, concerning his voj ' age to the United States. He was verj ' bashful when he first came here, but has since grown out of this. tr rr tr Arthur MARUTz,St. Joseph, Mich. Jimmy is one of the business men of our class. He is one of the Stationery Jews, supplying us with all the necessities of daily life, such as cigars, candy, paper, and pencils and is largely responsible for the flourish- ing business of our college store. The suc- cess of the Concordian is the result of many hours of hard and incessant toil on the part of James. rr u u Walter Meyer, Farmington, Mich. Priest is a fellow that simply can ' t worry. His motto is: Little by little, excepting at meal times, when he always does justice to everything that is on the table. As a rule Bishop is very quiet, but when an opportunity for fun turns up, he is right there. Walter is a member of the class track and basket ball teams. Page twenty-thn

' ILLIA.M LUEKE, DillsboiO, Illd. Bill is the guy that put Dillsboro on the map, and in this respect enlarged the geo- graphical knowledge of his classmates. Around college he is known as Slavedriver, for he is continually directing the work of the fatiguers, and in this manner helpj to keep things neat and clean. tr u rr Christopher Luerssex Baltimore, Id. One could hardh- imagine a basket ball game at Concordia, without Shag in the line-up, for he has been a member of the col- lege team for four years, and has always given an excellent account of himself. He has been captain of the varsity five for two seasons. Shag is a fellow with whom everyone can agree quite well. u rr u Paul NIader, Cleveland, Ohio. Puss has the virtue of sticking to his work, and, as a rule, he always gets there. He is good at his studies and is also a good tennis player. He is deeply interested in music, and has the distinction of being president of the college orchestra. Paul is a good book-keeper and was therefore ap- pointed treasurer of the student body.

Walter Miller, Fort Wayne, Iiid. Ikes. The pride of our class. Walter likes one study as well as another and is nearly perfect in all. He was the individual star at our last interclass track meet, win- ning first place in all the dashes and also scoring several points besides. He is very good in military drill; this is shown by the fact that he is Major of the college Cadet Corps. u rr rr William Opitz, Grand Rapids, Mich. When Chesty is with us, everyone is happy, for the countless number of jokes and witticisms which constantly flow from his lips often take us by surprise and make us laugh for the rest of the day. Several mem- bers of the faculty have given him a very ap- propriate name, Philosoph der Klasse. tJ u u Jerry Pelikan, Pleasant Citj ' , Ohio. Bird, the comechan of our class, does not say much, but believes in the old say- ing: Actions speak louder than words. During the recreation period one may see him flying about, ready for fun wherever he goes. When the study period begins, Bird ' s disposition is entirely changed; he is now studying diligently, and, as a result, he is a successful student. Page tv
