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

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. .

Army Alphas under his arni, a mass of statistics in his head, and a ready desire to give anyone a psyciiological examination at any time, anywhere. For four long years .A. E. has endeavored lo emulate the mighty Spinoza and brilliant Will James— and has actually succeeded. At least he has acquired that well-known I ' hilosophical absentmindedness. At times he even forgets that he is going to Lehigh, oversleeping his classes or reading through them in the library. Seriously, though, .Abe has attained marked s uccess in his chosen field. Honors and prizes came naturally. Gifted with an uncanny ability to do mr.ch work in little time, he has mingled scholarly attainments with a iiost or interesting experiences. But now ' tis rumored he has re- formed. The Psychology as well as the English department, will certainly miss the tall, broad-honed figure with a closely cropped head of hair; but we hope that some day A.E. will return to dear old South Mountain with his ambi- tion a reality — The Grudlnian School of Psychology.

The professors gave him good marks; and the ladies, God bless them, iind him a good mark. On the theory that absence makes the heart grow fonder, a great friendship grew up between our Gerry and Dr. Curtis — but, sad to relate, towards the end, Gerry was cut to the quick; and, in fact, almost out of the picture. Gerry has a soft voice and a that books tation. of polite polish the things that Dolisli, were his Indeed a temp- :ver cracks.
