lUf 1 MUHLEThBEIRG i ' CLARLA. 1922 Harold K. Marks, A.B. Instructor in Music. Mr. Marks’ place at Muhlenberg is that of music instructor and story te’ler. He is a man hard to find on the campus as the Ciarla’s official photographer will testify for he has very few classes. Most of his work is with the Glee Club. Much of the popularity and success which the Glee Club has attained throughout the east is due to the training and instruction given the men by Mr. Marks. Mr. Marks seems to us to have just the presence needed in an effective leader of song; a face and a manner that demand exact observance of the rythm indicated by the clear-cut but graceful movements of his arm. We like to hear him start the stops in the organ, and the piano fairly seems to sing when he is playing. He is carrying on with full success the traditions of his musical family. Born at Emaus, Pa., May 12, 1886. Prepared at Allentown High School. A.B. Muhlenberg College 1907. Alpha Tau Omega. Studied Piano, Theory and Composition under the direction of various musicians. Elected Instructor in Music at Muhlen- berg College 1913. William S. Ritter, B.S. Director of Physical Education. “Cla-a-a-a-a-a-as EX!” When this voice shakes the very foundations of the admin- istration building, you know that some toil- proof individuals are beginning an hour of mortal agony. Bill is a good physical director because he makes everybody grunt. He admits it himself. With a stony heart he enjoys listening to the creaking joints of those unfortunate martyrs who are being sacrificed on the altar of physical culture. No amount of argument can persu ade him that physical education is not a necessity and that we now get as much as we should have. He hopes to increase the requirement in his department and it will not be unwel- come, because for all our complaining groans, we like the sensation of being in a gym. suit. Born Allentown, Pa., May 17, 1892. Allentown Preparatory School. B.S. Muhlenberg College 1916. Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. Elected Director of Athletics and Instructor of Physical Education at Muhlenberg College 1919. 24

g 1 E feif MUHL-OIBCRG 1=? CIARLA 1922 Frederick H. Worsinger, Jr., A.B. Instructor in Biology. It isn’t everybody that can be elevated from student body to faculty and be as well- liked and respected in his new role as in the old. A short time age we knew him as “Freddy” when he was wearing out his gob uniform to save expenses and to enjoy the prestibe accompanying honorable discharge from the U. S. Navy. But now it seems a matter of course to attend a class under Mr. Worsinger and have him sit on the other side of the desk telling us all about the daily habits of platyhelminthes or making smooth the path through the rocks of geology. It is the same old unassuming dignity that was his when he conducted student body meetings in his undergraduate days. Last summer, Mr. Worsinger was a front page attraction in the newspaper when he discovered a bug in New Jersey which had not been seen there before. Born at Philadelphia, Pa., December 3, 1896. Pre- pared at Reading High School. A.B. Muhlenberg College 1919. Delta Theta. U. S. Navy. Elected Instructor in Biology at Muhlenberg College 1919. Hamj D. Bailee], A. M. Professor of Biology. If you have a boil on your neck, a pain in your tummy or a strange bug in your hand, go to Prof. Bailey — you will be sure to find him in the biology lab. — and he will relieve the boil, cure the pain in your digestive cavity, and tell you the pedigree of the insect. His job is biology, embryol- ogy, histology, ornithology, and entomol- ogy. His recreation is entomology, orni- thology, histology, embryology, photogra- phy, lawn tennis, and Lafayette-Lehigh games. Muhlenberg claims that its biology de- partment is second to none in the state, and it has some good arguments to make good this claim. Some of them are in bottles of formaldehyde or on microscopic slides, but the best argument is Prof. Bailey himself. The biology department is a place where seeking after knowledge ceases to be a task and becomes a series of interesting discoveries. Born at Easton, Pa., January 14, 1881. Prepared at South Easton High School. A.B. Lafayette College 1904. A.M. Lafayette College 1909. Phi Beta Kappa. Attended Biological Laboratory at Cold Springs Harbor, Long Island in the summer of 1903. Ap- pointed Instructor in Biology Muhlenberg College 1909 and elected Professor of Biology 1910. 23

MUHLCMBETRC CIARLA 1 1922 fclmif ' Oscar F. Bernlieim, A.B. Treasurer, Secretary, and Registrar. A skillful printer, a keen business man and a solid Democrat — that is “Bernie.” “Bernie” is the first man you see when you come to college and he strikes you for a ten dollar registration fee. We haven’t forgotten that expensive day. The reason may be the frequent repetition of similar tactics. With Bernie the mind naturally connects the college store, where he sells pretzels and foolscap, ethics books and cigars, all for the benefit of the student and the athletic association. You may notice that Dr. Haas is placed nine pages away from Mr. Bernheim. This is deliberately planned to avoid the kind of argument in which both of them delight on questions such as, “Did Woodrow Wilson build the Panama Canal?” or “Did the Re- publican Party ever enter the war?” As for printing, take a look at the glee club programs or Muhlenberg’s latest catalogue and give Mr. Bernheim the credit. Born at Mt. Pleasant, N. C., November 16, 1868. Prepared at Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. A.B. Muhlenberg College 1892. Alpha Tau Omega. Elected Treasurer and Registrar of Muhlen- berg College 1907. Elected Secretary 1919. Guernetj F. Afflerbacli, M.S. Field Secretary. Mr. Alumnus, are you a member of the Muhlenberg Club? If you are not it is not Guerney’s fault. It will cost you ten dollars a year if you pay as you go and one hun- dred dollars for a life term. Mr. Afflerbach is engaged not only in collecting coin of the realm so essential to the advancement of the college but also spends much time and energy in interesting prospective students in Muhlenberg College. As graduate manager of athletics, Mr. Afflerbach does a great deal of hard work for the college. If you have an idea that making up a football schedule is an easy task just ask him. It seems that the smaller schools resent being stalled off and the bigger schools resent it if the medium sized schools seem to show any resentment at the same thing. So between the two of them Guerney has a wierd time but always comes out of the battle with a rattling good schedule for the coming season. Born at Bedminster, Bucks County, Pa., November 29, 1891. Prepared at Quakertown High School and Williamson Trade School. Ph.B. Muhlenberg Col- lege 1916. Alpha Tau Omega. Elected Instructor in the Department of Natural and Applied Science 1917. M.S. Muhlenberg College 1919. Elected Field Secre- tary 1921. 25
