But an injured knee had its story to tell. A turn to art with charcoal and paint, Partly killed sadness of athletic restraint. Outside activities helped out the cause. Lucky Bag advertising permits but slight pause. From the potato state, his weak spot ' s the West; Just mention the Rockies and look out for his chest. With diary and letters and typewriter too. Red always finds plenty of writing to do. The time put in study is worthy of note. For Gene, A man ' s man, is a fitting quote. EUGENE WHITNEY SHELLWORTH Gene Shell Red Boise, Ida. . RICHARD HOUGHTON BURNS Dick Dutch Willmar, Minn. WE cannot venture to say what called Dick from his Land of the Sky-blue Waters. But he has made his record here. This rugged sandblower, with his devil may care attitude, pleasant grin and air of independence, has made many friends. Dreams of future travel, adventure, and leave, together with the happy faculty of extricating himself from one femme ' s clutch to fall willingly into another ' s, have left Dutch little time for academics, but somehow he has managed to end up on the right side of a 2.5. He started football upon entrance; Youngster Year found him under a varsity helmet, and spectacular playing rewarded him yv tU the team ' s captaincy his last year. ■• FootbdIU, 3, 2, 1, N .

JOSEPH EDWARD DOUGHERTY ■•Doc Ned Philadelphia, Pa. MEET Doc! There he is, flat on his back in bed. You ' ll have to come asain to see him move. Sure, he moves — not fast enough to make formation on time, but you should see him rassel,- he ' s the champeen of our county, and captain of our Navy team. He also eads the soccer team into action. More about him? Well, his management of affaires d ' amour is masterful. His Irish luck makes him winner in all battles of academics, romance, athletics, and wit. He knows everyone — all hands like and respect the little feller. He doesn ' t know where he ' s go- ing; but he gets there. And any time there ' s fun or excitement, there ' s a man in the middle of it — that ' s our Ned! Soccer 4, 3, 2, 1, N. Captain 1. Wrestling 4, 3, 2, 1, N. Captain 2, 1 Lacrosse 2, 1, N A. N. Club. M. P. O. 226 Turned back January, 1935. M sick! — That ' s Southie the Florida Gator who can ' t stand the frio. With each snow storm, he vanishes to the hospital, and returns with the above expression when he tries catching up in his studies. Scholastically, Pug is worth a three-one. Athletically, he is worth a good 3.4; personality more than bilges that, but as a rotten punster he ' s a rather ratey four-point-0. ' 35 was intro- duced to Miami ' s amateur champeen a few days after his entrance — three straight knockouts. But unfortunately his pugilistic career came to an ab- rupt but sad ending hen injuries forced him to hang up the gloves for the last time. We all missed seeing Duke perform as a Webbman.

h H JOHN ADRIAN HACK Johnny Cleveland, Ohio ERE he is: 6 natural savoir, Who has a lot to live for,- Above all a born sleeper — He would make a sood lishthouse keeper, For then his unearthly snore, Would vainly cope with the ocean ' s roar. A cheery whistle with his work, A lingering smile, a quirk. That marks him so debonair. And well-known to the ladies fair. Yet, listen to his philosophy, And find him as deep as is the sea. Spring brings the call of track; He goes out just for the fun, And lets the other fellow run, While he enjoys the balmy sun. That browns his shirtless back. Class Track 4.

Neither so prominent in Middy Evil chronicles as Stephen, silent philosopher, fountain of fickleness, he is a connoisseur of femininity. Weekly he stalks Carvelwards, lest a sweet damsel pass these parts unnoticed, unaffected by the lure of his long silken eyelashes. Secluded within his curly head lies the vision of an ideal, in search of whom he reads eternally. Yet athletics command much of his time. Daily he fed on soccer and lacrosse, waxed and grew stronger, muscles bulged, and correspond- ence with the outside world became less frequent. Moody, temperamental, congenial, prone to pry futilely into the future, Steve is always just Steve. STEPHEN HENRY GIMBER Steve Poochy Philadelphia, Pa.
