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.

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. .

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

Ec.MER came to I.ehijfh from Liberty High School in- cognito, but is leaving with a host of friends, and a much coveted L, and seasoned with scholastic honors. The odor of the Chemical Lab. and the smell of dis- sected animals in the Biology Lab irritated his sensitivv ' nostrils, so Elmer took to Business like a duck to water. Elmer ' s bigjest fun is baseball, and this through no fault of his own, for someone handed liim the horse- hide at high school. Since then he learned to breeze ' •curves over the home-plate at .Lehigh. He prefers to take his baseball straight. Hence, his failure to engage in such popular extra-curricular activities as beer drinking, and expeditions to Cedar Crest. Quiet and modest by nature and possessing ijualities which make friendship wherever he goes, he will doubt- less meet with success in the business world. Goi.Dii ' s the lad who introduced a new course to Le- high. He wanted to become a chemist without get- ting gray hair in the prt)Cess — llence he remarked to Dr. I ' llman that they should have a course in chemical sales, and, lo and behold, Lester got a chemical education on an . rt ' s man ' s time. Les has another happy faculty; that is, the ability to study German with his German book on one knee and a certain lovely young Allcntown brunette on the other. All of which goes to prove that man learns best wlien his environment is most pleasant. Les didn ' t conline all his time to studies and brunettes. He captain- ed the Varsity Soccer team and broke the college record in the javelin throw. And, believe it or not, he didn ' t get his pep from eating Flei.schman ' s Yeast or by using Lifebouy, but owes his numerous abilities to good old Catasai]ua beer. i29j
