CREDENTIALS Football-3, 4 Basketball--3, 4 Baseball-3 Crow,s Nest -4 i'Clavus',-4 RUDOLPH FRITZ LANGER ffRudyll CORNELL Rudy is a man of mystery. We do not know what he does with a majority of his time but he assures us that it is well spent. He has made an excellent record as an athlete, being a letterman in football and baseball in addition to being Captain of this year's basketball team. We have never seen him ride but understand that he is the terror of all competitors in the local horse shows. Our experience and observation would incline us to believe that guiding a horse is easier than governing a lady, for sometimes when we thought we were driving, actually we were being led. But you can not blame him for trying. Every other man has and failed. And that is no mystery! 18

His most oppressive fear is that the fish won't bite or that the women will, or that they won't--he hasn't quite decided. A convinced disciple of the Variety is the Spice of Life school of dating, he has even been known to invite the entire Clover Street school to go skating. CWe all applaud his noble efforts towards the establish- ment of more amicable relations as regards our neighbor up the creek, and are confident that succeeding classes may continue to seek mutual understanding with herj He long ago vowed his declaration of independence from any one member of the fair sex, but we trust that time may gradually erase this resolution, as he becomes subjected to sweeter influences. 17

CREDENTIALS Night Tennis-4 Rembrandt-3, 4 Drug Addict--2, 3, 4 Bea-Catcher-3, 4 Romantic Fever-1, 2, 3, 4 LANGER Romeo SCHOOL FOR ENTOMOLOGISTS Classified as the king of hearts, Rudy's curly hair and whiskers which you could rub off with a turkish towel, make him one of the smoothest cards in the deck. He has worked some deals with horses too, but last Fall he developed an intensive interest in Beas, and has been avidly pursuing that line of study ever since. Saturday nights find him doing extensive research on the tennis courts. Every afternoon Rudy rockets off the premises in his high- powered wagon, intent on horse-back riding. Somehow, however, it seems he takes a wrong turn, and inevitably winds up with a few comely curves over at Brighton. We have not yet satisfied ourselves as to whether it is the horses or the Beas that render him so weak the following day. Although our horseman sometimes suffers from violent attacks of Romantic Fever, we feel that his chances of survival are pretty good. F9
