WILLIAM H. FITZGERALD 1538 N. 12th St., Philadelphia, Pa. Born at Philadelphia, Pa., June 21, 1896. Prepared at Northeast High. En- tered Muhlenberg in the fall of 1914. Philosophical. Cue and Quill Club. Round Table. Philadelphia Club. Varsity Track: “M” man (2). Basketball; “M” man (3). Class Football (2, 3). Class Basketball (2). Class Baseball (2). Class Track (2). Baptist. With a rush, hat in one hand and grip in the other, hair parted in the center of his wheel-shaped dome, a spick young man hit the campus bound for the 10.48. “Yo, Fitz! Where to?” “Just a trip to the big city. Some of the old stuff, see. Big dance dowm there, will see you tomorrow.” The star miler passed out of sight to tend to his beat in the city. On deck the next day appeared Fitz, Economics book under one arm and a Logic book under the other, walking slowly to the dormitories. “Well, I’m back. Finished an Economies report coming up on the car. Boy, maybe they don’t pull some stuff at the dances in the big city. Got some new stuff that will set the natives on their ears. I figure I can shine for a night (flourish of the hand). I’ll have to spring it at Mealey’s tomorrow night. Watch me pull it. Look me over. Some tie, eh. Speaks for itself, you know ' . I guess it’s about time for me to get a little sleep. So long!”

NORMAN R. FRANKENFIELD Chestnut Hill Ave., Easton, Pa. Born at Easton, Pa., January 22, 1895 Prepared at Lerch Prep. Entered Muh- lenberg in the fall of 1912. Scientific Delta Theta. Class Football (1, 3, 4), Lutheran. Entomology. “Were you at the Orpheum any time this week, Duke?” “No, sir. Don’t you know that I do not attend such shows. I only attend first-class elevating shows. A real high-class opera or drama are the only shows that I have time to attend. This fickle stuff is nothing for a busy man.” “Pardon me, Duke, but I thought you were a frequent visitor at that place.” “No, you see I want to set a moral example to my classmates and fellow students. Too many of us have no conception at all of the obligation that we owe to society. I personally feel that I ought to set an example in that direction.” “You are very much different from most other students for the ministry — you evidently believe in practicing what you preach.” “That is my motto exactly — ‘Practice what you preach.’ Could anybody have a better motto? If, for instance, I believed that a pers on ought to commune occa- sionally with Bacchus, I would get busy and worship daily at his altar. If I was fully convinced that a person should swear and curse and use other necessarily em- phatic terms, I would affirm my statements with such localisms.” “I never knew that you were as frank and conscientious as all this.” “Frankness, openness, meekness, humility — they are my petty virtues.” “Duke, thou art noble.”

Democrat. Law. Honest, Sammy, you will miss your calling if you don ' t take up architecture,” ventured one of Sammy ' s admirers. “Aw, take a stroll, you make me sick,” replies the boy with the blonde beard. “All right, all right. I don ' t want to argue with you,” came softly. Then Sammy starts the argument in earnest. He could argue thru a piece of steel, close up the hole and take the reverse argument and come back thru. The fellows leave Sammy after an hour’s argument. “Do you know Sammy always takes everything seriously,” said the one. “Yes, I noticed,” said the other, “especially training for the Minister- Pagan game.” “And now,” said a third, “if training is the prime factor in track Sammy will be the streak of lightning.” “But, fellows,” said the fourth, “you forget that Sammy studied Latin with all
