(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. Sigma Nu 2, 5, 4); Baseball (i, 3); STUDENTS know Bill as a smooth ball-player; girls know him as a smooth dancer; and the profs know liim as a smooth course-crabber. 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.

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.

TnKpiK years ago there came to our fair college a youthful M.E., full of smoke and fire, and deter- mined to make his name shine in the hazy air of modern industrialism. One semester went by, and our hero found that the engines of commerce had lost their glamour, and that he pined more for the open air and pure bosom of motlier earth. He delved more deeply into (leological Science, meanwhile gaining popularity with his fellow students by the agency of wild cycle flights donated frequently to all wiio cared to dare the perilous rumble seat. He Is becoming one of the geologists of .America, and, let us hope, the world. Johnny ' s prowess with the fair sex Is famed, and he led his fraternity brothers a merry dance trying to follow his intrigues. Lelllgh Is lising one of her attractions, and there will be a void here which will never be filled by one like the smiling good-natured Johnny. im
