Coach Dog- gy Pearson's eleven wal- loped the Trish to the tune of 42-0. C o a c h Pearson stated the Tartan's success was due in a large measure to his memory. He recalled many of the plays in the famous Oliver - Allegheny game of 1926, and made use of them. The Trish were literally swept off their feet by the whirlwind tactics of the home team. Coach Pearson received much of his training from Dennis. Oliver's coach. This dav almost parallels the Tech-Notre Dame game of 1926. Tech celebrated wildly: streets were thronged with rejoicing students.

In the last three years, there has not been one failure in the Mathematics d e partment. The board reports that this admirable record is due to the excellent leadership of Mis s Eleanor Gausman.

Each member of the class is allowed t0 bring his .family at least one night and the kids surely do have a good time. Refreshments are always served in the shape of lcllypops. The former Adalyn VVallace is taking charge of the reunion with the aid of Charles Way- man, herrfaithful helper. No other' class of Oliver has had such a reunion and it is making the school quite notorious. Mr. Bail- ey, who was principal there at the time of their graduation, is the chief guest of honor. Mr. Bailey came a great distance to be with the class and it is appreciated very much. 1 STEN OHRAPHER ELOPES A stcnographer succeed- ed in cloping with her em- ployer.

CHARLES VVA YM A N 'KChuck is the drug store cowboyv of the class. He can dance, study, draw, talk, etc.. but he has his preferences. When picking out a girl he chooses one with dimples, brown hair, and danc- ing eyes-he doesn't go out of our class for her, either. He holds quite a few meetings and I don't think they all pertain purely to business matters. RAY JOSEPH VVINDLE A thoughtful, solemn chap is lic, Who uttereth ne'er a sound, 'Til that lazy, crazy gang of his Comes rampin', stampin' 'round. They are Levitt, Schugar, Skillcn, he, Four minds with but one thought. If teachers took the law in hand, They'd everyone be shot. ROY CLAYTON VVILLIAMS Have you ever heard this young man play thc banjo, fiddle, and drum? VVell, if you haven't, it'.s about time you had. As folks say, 'ilazz music flies from his banjo, classical music from his fiddle, and most anything from his drumff He is a lover of the underclassmeu and I sup- pose you know it's the girls again. ELIZABETH ALICE ZEGLOT Is she, or isn't she? VVho knows? She makes me wonder. How many of our boys she likes or dislikes she has never shown. Elizabeth probab- ly eats VVebster,s Dictionary threc times a day. She'll tell you the meaning of any word: for in- stance, H0Sl'l1l'Zl,tI0I1',Q or say, nauseate.
