K. Ezra Bucher R. F. D. 2, Myerstown, Pa. This staunch representative of Lebanon Count} ' came to F.lizabethtown College in his freshman year and intends in finish his Com- mercial course here. We think fate very kind to have directed him to this school because of the many services he rendered to E. C. In him we find a gentleman with a head for business. Butch is one of those bit ' shots you read about on college campuses; courteous and affable to everyone. The Junior class is convinced that their confidence was not mis- placed in electing him president of our class. For he is as busy as a New York lawyer, but never too busy to hear a petition or request from classmates. This only portravs another desirable trait f an individual — patience. In athletics we find him a number one partici- pator. He ranks very high on the reserve team. Not only does he play basketball, but he is able to write up news articles for our College Times. He is nothing less than Sport ' s Editor. ith.all these activities and striking personal appearance it is evident that he is not far re- moved from the fairer sex. Butch however believes it is better to know only one person intimately. The class expresses their sincere appreciation for your services and wishes you the best in this old world. Activities: College Times Staff ill (2) (;); Junior Varsity (1) (2) (3); Glee Club (2) (3); Candles (2) (3); Sophomore Class Vice-Presi- dent; Junior Class President; Assistant Manager of Athletics (2) (;); Advertising Manager ot Etonian. Anna K. Cassel Fairview Village, Pa. Always be smiling, always be ready for fun. always be happy is the theme song of Anna. When she approaches you with a smile, you just know that she has had a good laugh on someone, or is about to spring a joke 1 hi si meone else. Bubbling over with vivacity, an official blues-chaser is she. When the two trustee representatives meet, Caleb and Anna, we are all prepared for a battle of witticisms. She not only excels in mental and social conflicts, bin physical as well for Anna has put her vigor, and vitality to use on the basketball floor. However, carefree and lively she may be, we know Anna to be quite serious and mature. She entered E. C. in ' 27, and after having taught for several years, she returned to finish the required work for an A.B. with the class of ' 32. We know that upon graduation Anna will be well qualified and highly recommended to continue work in her profession. Social functions of various kinds seem to interest and benefit Anna. In her jolly four- some, she is a ring-leader. With her originality, her personality, and her loquaciousness, the class of ' 2 need only to extend its heartiest wishes to boost her on in life ' s work.

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

♦•♦ 5 Norman E. Diehl Shrezvsbur Pa. This tall, good looking, refined gentleman entered the class of ' 32 in his Junior year. Previous to this time, he took work at Eliza- bethtown College in summer and spring normal sessions. He also spent one summer at Indiana State Normal School. Having his certificate, he trained the children of the rural schools for several years. Upon graduation from college he intends to continue in the teaching profession. In the short time we have learned to know Diehl, we are glad to say that his association and cooperation with the Junior class has been a pleasure. His musical talent is not to be underestimated, for he is a member of the Glee Club and also the second tenor in the College Male Quartet. To further use his musical ability he has been chosen head cheer-leader of the school. At all athletic meets you will see him out leading college songs and cheers: he, too, is a member of the cheer-leading squad. His courtesy, kindness, voluntary attitude and loyality to this class and school make us certain that he will receive the best in life. Activities: Quartet (3); Glee Club (3); Cheer- leader (3); Candles (3). Nancy H. Gish Elizabethtown, Pa. In presenting Nan, one immediately notices her dignified and aristocratic features. Though reticent, her geniality has developed greatly so as to make many friends of both sexes. In fact, we think Cupid is overworking this reserved individual. Upon high school graduation. Nan took work in the summer term at Elizabethtown College. After completion she guid ed Young America successfully for several years. The next year she changed from school teaching to a course in business and office training. Her neatness and systematic tendency made office work most pleasant for Nan. This year she returned to Elizabethtown College and expects to finish her A.B. course with this class. Nan is one of those substantial individuals who gives the best kind of moral support. In every class function, school party or athletic meet, we find her there ready to give us her time and energy. We know that she is very- adaptable, because of her ability to adjust herself to being gay, sympathetic, or serious, as the occasion demands. If this brief intro- duction to Nan has not made you feel as though you should like to know and love her, we have failed in introducing her. The class has been very much enriched by her presence and co- operation. Activities: Etonian Staff. Fifty-two
