Possibly the lirst is doubtful, hut we are sure uf the last two. His enviable record in mathematics has won him his distinction as an engineer. Since entering college uBnron has developed the habit of selling ' stationery to unsuspecting Frosh. This vice is only surpassed hy his weak- ness for playing five-hundred in the commuters' lunch room. Fats is unacquainted with the significance of the words hurry or wurry. Despite the fact that he cmnmutes on the H. S O. Railroad and the Marshallton Bus Line, he still retains his good nature and good health. Once during his stay at college n rumor was circulated that he participated in one of the inglorious escapades of Old College. We hasten to correct this impres- sion. however. for it is nhsnlutely inrzredihle that his gentle demeanor could thus he outraged. lie has always heen. and prohnhly will always he, the personificution uf serenity. For Alvin the future looks rosy. His military hearing and his complete knowledge nf military tactics will nncloulstedly win him the position of corporal nf the Delaware National Guard. Forty-four

Nothing we might do, no wrecking crew we might send out, could clear this affair upg so we sympathetically expressed our congratulations and sadly went our single ways. Thus Carr became the second member of the 1923 'S-in Beneclictfs Club, joining the lamented Red Linn in the much questioned bliss of married life. As everybody knows. Stogie Carr is a 'iwould-he farmer, or, to speak more correctly. he aspires to be an agricullurist. Although reared in the metropolis known as Wilmington. he has migrated hack to the soil and has chosen the rustic life. We must recognize Stogie's ability as a musician. Half the Nnoisei' the orchestra makes in College Hour is the grunts and groans from Al's bnss fiddle. What a iigure Stump makes as he trudges ahnut the campus shouldering his mon- sterous, yet 'ibelovedu instrument. He should have taken lessons on the flute for the instrument and laody to he more correctly matched. Despite his desertion of us for married life, we hail Al as a good companion and worthy son of Old Delaware. +L- if multi ui - rp' A .. Forty-five
