SINCE this is autobiographical, the writer will have to take It easy. Hut taking It easy is eiy easy for liini, at least in the opinion of three or four of Leiiigh ' s most noted professors. By the end of three years on South mounting, a popular ro()mniate and a little bit of campus politics placed this young man from the wilds of western Pennsylvania, In a position where he was able to become the owner of several heavy pieces of Imitation gold to be worn on tlie watch chain. And after neglecting his studies for three years In the pursuit of (he aforementioned danglers — lie asks himself WHVr Rut he has enjoyed his four years at Lehigh like all get-out, a pleasant mixture of social life, extra-curricular activities and managerial work having made It possible. He wants you all to stop when you get to Johnstown. Pi Kappa Alpha Hand (::, ;, 4)1 Mining and geological Society (;, 4), President (4). 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

(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.

EDDIE Jvy Clad and Chestnut Fleischer has two dis- tinguishing talents — the gift of smooth and convinc- ing gab and a genuine talent for writing. Through in- discriminate use of tlicse two attributes, alternately and together, he ascended the gilded stairw.iy to campus fame, and became, in !)is senior year, one of the outstanding and most popular personalities in the student body. There is nothing Ed can ' t write his ' way into, and equally little that lie can ' t talk his wav out of. For example, he wrote his way into the editorship of the Le- high Review; and, in spite of great handicaps, talked his way out of the stigmatic aspects of the job Not to men- tion, of course, his campus columns. Then there are any number of which might be set forth here conc his gallery of women. The car has definite place in I.ehigh history, and ; His collegiate life has been colorful and successful; let ' s have one on the house t , more c.lor and to m nteresting cdotes earned for itself for the women . .

Ennehow he busted tlu-m a plenty during the lour years he was at Le- high. I rcc.dlect one afternoon in particular. Thar was a bit of pole vaultin ' goin ' on. Charlie was pushin ' the bar up so fast the boys had to stand on the gym roof to see the goln ' s on. He shore had wings. Good natured cuss he was too; always smilin ' ' cept when he was boun- cin ' over them hurdles or a galloppin ' down a broadjump runway. I ain ' t seen him now in many years Lem; in fact, not since I came up here to the farm. Charlie used to be pretty sweet on some gal from up around Mt. Vernon. I wonder if O, oh! There ' s IVIirandv callin ' agin. Guess I ' d better rustle these here gr,.cerie ' s home. So long, Lem. KinVARD ll.lilSCHER BETHLtllKM, P. .
