Hypochondriac. No, we do not know what that means, but if it has its derivation from sour it comes prctty close to fitting Polyphemus. Chief attraction about this boy is his series of names. Ile takes physics Qnot tl1e in- struments-why, no! Jack Thomson tends to thatb, and is making a special study of light C-opera aetrcsses.D Ile does his work in the south wing of thclaboratory, directly over tl1e stage entrance of the Academy, and it has been rumored about that Poly watches the actresses more than he does Prof. Freise, and the latter is exceedingly jealous thereat.

He chews up his words and spits them out in chunks, so that no one knows what he is talking about unless they use a Peerless Separator. He is a great indoor baseball fiend and slugs the bunch of rags about the campus every after- noon that he has not a previous engagement for. Loves physics, and wouldn't crib anyone's notes for the world Cif jimmy is nearj. He delights in standing at the laboratory window and watching the passing show-especially that part that passes in the stage entrance next door. Description Rogues' Cfdlcry 3 Most honest, good natured and harmless fellow. Here because of stealing some of the most scarlet of the scarlet sunsets and adopting it for l1is own use and benefit, even having the audacity to parade it before the public in the form of face rougeg then of compounding felony by blushing whenever addressed. Further description: Soft gray-green eyes and a regular grindstone Qin need of waterj voice. Agricola puer-in other words, poofejr countryman. Might use his face for the headlight on au engine, espe- cially one which would run through the country, for the cows would know it was no common city radiance and move on without even switching the flies off. 24

Member Carrollton-Wight Literary Societyg Ath- letic Association '02-'O3g Secretary Carrollton-Wight '04g Class Football Team 'O4. Prof. Norris loves this boy. He can work out more enigmas with x-I-ylin them than any fellow in the class. Ile doesn't mind study in tl1e leastg the fact is he likes it. Why he has even been known to look up the notes in French. Comes from the country a11d it is generally sup- posed that this is the way he puts in his time instead of doing chores. There are tricks in all trades. liflflglllilll would be a line chap though if it were not for his love of shoving ice down fellows' backs in the Lab. Here we irc forced to sa5 with Barnum, Hxvllilt is It? 'l We candidly admit we don't know. It never talks, occa- sionally grins, and has been' seen to walk! It has been a mystery to a number of the students how It spends Its time. We are sure It don'tstudyg don't know how It could have the heart to speak to a female. Then, what the thunder does It do? Whenever It recites It bites lt'slips, looks wise, grins, and then confidently informs the Prof. that really It don't believe It knows the solution to the question. St. Peter will have to look out, else It is going to grease through the golden gates, and then he is going to have a silent member in the Celestial Choir! 26
