He had ideas about being a big Lehigh engineer; so he studied engineering his first two years. He says he did rather well and he even had a slide rule all his own. But one day his mother sent him a big crate of apples and he started to make friends in the upper stories of Christmas Saucon. Apparently his success went to his head, for he sold Ins room m-ate his slide rule and changed to Arts and Science. It must have been a good Idea, be- cause that same year he was awarded the Williams Junior Composition Prize. Artie writes fairly well; so with the help of some more apples and an authoritative tone of voice, he became second In command of the Brown and White, a small so-called student publication appearing here and there fairly regularly. Considering everything Our Boy will get by. HKRK is a persim of genial and iulet ways, but of great energy and untiring industry, whose chief ambition in life is to help those who need help. This, perhaps, ex- plains his broad range of interest and Intense study Into such humanistic subjects as sociology and labor problems, which could attract only the Individual who concerns him- self with the welfare of people. No one will ever forget his generosity and numerous extensions of beneficences. The stress and strain of the depression days wth its depleted worker s Saturday night brown envelope have drawn his thoughtful attention. Thus we are not sur- prised to learn that he believes In such progressive social measures as Unemployment Insurance and Old Age Pen- sions. Everyone who knows Maurice is glad to have him as a friend. We know he will become a great lawyer, for his constant arguing and debating should prove good ex- {25}

Phi Gamma Delta T7 uuR years ago there came to these halls of learning a • • young man from Pittsburgh. Anderson was the name, and after settling down to the routine life of a college man of leisure, he proceeded to astound his teachers and friends (not that his teachers were not his friends) with the remarkable wit and good humor that lias made his path through Lehigh such a pleasant one. Don entered heartily into the things that held his in- terest and once he started a task, he finished it. This even applies to the task of winning the hearts of a few well chosen sweet young things before he finally decided to settle down to the life of — no, not a bachelor, but a settled and serious family man; at least we hope he marries her. We have all enj.iyed knowing him, and send him our most heartfelt well wishes. Mav he succeed.

A LTHol.GH Jim came to Lehigh to study engineering, ■ - he soon discovered that his temperament directed him to investigate the field of political science. The legal profession appeared far more appalling than chemistry. So Jim entered the arts college in his second year and substituted political philosophy for technical formulas. By the time he became a senior he had gained a prominent position in all student activities relative to his chosen field. Even though these activities kept him very busy, he was able, at the same time, to present a very good account of himself scholastically. Three more years of study, probably at Harvard, are still ahead of Jim before he has the opportunity to test in actual practice the theories which he so readily absorbed in the classroom. If his ap- parent drag with his professors can be transformed into the ability to sway juries his success is untiucstionably as- sured. DONALD H. ANDERSON Pittsburgh, Pa.

(I); R- FRANK is an unusual chap, you know. Quiet, reserved, he is often remembered for his look (real or assumed, who can s.iy?) of owl-like sagacity. Sometimes, when he gazed across the vast expanse of the circulation desk at the librarv, he looked as if he were monarch of all the tomes he ' surveyed. At times such as these, too, he toyed absently with intricate formulae concerned with organic elements, the while his mind was far away. Perhaps then he wondered whether or not he could construct, after the manner of Frankenstein, a human organism as easily as he, naturally curious, had taken one apart to see wh .t made it tick. His apparent preference for dark clothing, his somber eyes and his dark brown hair all contribute to the cloud of solemnity which seem to engulf him. It i even whispered— in deserted corners and behind locked doors— that he plans to be a doctor. What cli.ance will Death have when Frank the medico fences uith itr Football (l); Rasketball (i hi Club; L Club.

Bill has managed to pick and successfullv complete in four years one of tlie easiest Art Courses known at Lehigh. Bill knows this business of education pretty well for he comes from a family of teachers and someday hopes to be one himself. Despite his lure for women, his taste for beer and the Injuries that beset him during his Freshman and Sopho- more years. Bill has kept charging through thick and thin to become the star of varsity basket-ball for the last two vears. Bill ' s likeable nature and far famed proficiency as a Mexican athlete have done much to make him popular while at Lehigh. It is encouraging to note that Bill has a younger brother now a Freshman at Lehigh who promises to m.nntain the Bray tradition thus far so nobly advanced. FRANK BIRO, JR. Bethlehem, Penna.
