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

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

MUHLETi ETRG CLARLA 1922 femmT Williard D. Kline, A.M., M.D. Examining Physician Our first impressions of Dr. Kline were those which came to youngsters eager to get into the “big scrap.” We looked upon him with a curious sort of awe because as we stood in our birthday clothes we realized that on his decision rest ed our chance of getting into the S. A. T. C. As we advanced in the science of warfare and used our ingenuity and imagination to work up ills which would put us on light duty we learned that it was no use, for Dr. Kline’s invariable cure for fancied ills was doled out daily by the sergeant major — C. C. pills, otherwise known as “hand grenades.” Those deadly instruments of warfare were a sure cure for anything from a toothache to a broken leg. Seriously, “Doc” Kline takes good care of us and when we don’t feel just right we wander down to Eighth Street where we get relief for whatever ails us physically and at the same time absorb much pep from an enthusiastic and congenial alumnus. Born in Allentown, Pa., July 4, 1877. Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. A.M. Muhlen- berg College 1901. Phi Gamma Delta. M.D. Jeffer- son Medical College 1901. Alpha Kappa Kappa. Medical Examiner of Muhlenberg College since 1908. 26
