C. Baugher The year 1928 in its rapid pace toward its inevitable end, was halted in its progress on a bright September day to pay tribute to a group of seventy-two energetic young people as they advanced into a great chi mera by enrolling at Elizabethtown College. Through various sources, we were able to orientate ourselves for the inception of this great undertaking. Some of the opportunities materialized, while others were thought useless and were repelled in spite of objections offered by the Sopho- more class. With the aid of a Junior-Senior tribunal, which left vivid impressions upon a few privileged characters, the Sophomores finally compelled us to succumb to a number of Freshmen regulations. This was a feat of charity on the part of the Sophomores to the faculty in helping them to make us malleable in order that their moulding process might begin. Clearly and pleasantly do we recall many memories of College Hill. Among them was our success in defeating the Sophomores in the annual tug-of-war, and in so doing, we set the yearling beauties on a parity with their more experienced superiors in a mad rush to secure that highly relished food of the Arab. Scholastically, we were out to be subjected, and socially, we showed considerable progress. As we entered our Sophomore year, we continually raised the standards which we had upheld during our Freshman year. By defeating the yearlings in the tug- of-war, we broke all previous records. Socially, the Roller Skating Party at Mt. Gretna was introduced (now a popular type of party on the hill), by us. At the close of this year, many answered the roll-call of the Sophomore pedagog, however, twenty-seven enrolled for the Junior year. Our College career continued until it placed us in a glowing season of oppor- tunities for exercising our ability in publishing the 1932 edition of the Etonian. Many interests, both social and academic, have claimed our attentions. The unique Hobo-Taffey-Pull in Shonk ' s garage and the final Junior-Senior party afforded interesting and excellent opportunities for fellowship and association during our junior year. As we gradually approach the exodus from our College life, we are not negligent in entertaining visions of realities that will confront us as we step into a different play, on a different setting. We are, thus, endeavoring to put forth our best efforts in order that we may qualify favorably as one of the personnel in that great drama. Forty-eight

Miller Barbour Middletown, Pa. Caleb W. Bucher Quarryville, Pa. In the trio from Middletown we think Barbour the leader. For usually Houser, Rank, and Barbour are together and Barbour is the instigator. Ever since our Freshman year, his drollness, his alert mind, his tolerance, his affableness have made him liked on College Hill. In his Freshman year he went out for debating and was voted a member of the team. His logical and clever thinking, combined with his wit, made him successful. Jn his Sophomore year, we think English Literature was his main vocation or avocation. e have even known him to compose verses on Lord Byron. He claims to have read every piece of literature in the history of English Literature, at least it seemed that amount, (let into a conversation on literature sometime with Barbour and see how long it will last. The stage has a big appeal for him and it is our guc s that he would be a successful actor. Because he is a day-student he takes work but three times a week this vear, we see very little of Barbour outside of class. Whatever he may do we are certain that his personality will bring him hosts of friends and we know that in his held he will be a success. That is our wish. Activities: Etonian Staff; Class Basketball (2) f 3 ); Debating (1). Just to know that Caleb is around or in a group is satisfying. The ' Bucher wit and kindness to one and all is amazing. This fact alone would make him very popular, but there is much more than wit and clever retort in Caleb. After working for a standard certificate at Elizabethtown College, he taught for several years in the vicinity of Quarryville. If we are able to judge from reports given of his school, we know he was a huge success. In fact, we were dubious whether the school-board would let him return to complete his college work. Needless to say. we are very much pleased to have him join the Juniors. In summer vaca tions he enjoyed the privilege of working in a camp in New York State; this past summer he took part in directing the work there. Caleb ' s interests are varied. He is an indus- trious, efficient, systematic thinker as well as a worker. A few years ago he was ordained a minister in the Church of the Brethren. With his fine Christian background and character, his aspirations and high ideals, his search for Truth and Beauty, we think he will be able to enjoy much of the Sweetness and Light about which Carlyle writes. Activities: Etonian Staff; Men ' s Glee Club (3); Candles (;,); Debating (3); President of Student olunteers; Sock and Buskin. Fifty
