THE GREEN BAG JOHN HENRY ELLIOTT. Member Athletic Association. I Wonderful lad, he! O11e of those select few w11o rode through Caesar and then could bluff so well that Dick thought he was walking. Whenever he translated there was such a ring of hoofs that every one expected to be trampled upon, and yet--l1is innocent looks saved him from destruc- tion. If innocent looks were money he would be a million- aire. Although he has considerable of the latter named, only it is in a molten state. Yes, he took up bookkeeping and was a veritable Wall street, bulls and bears combined. Ile made 525,000 in one month in the wholesale fish business, and tl1e11 even tried to argue that his dealings had been perfectly straight. - RALPH L LPHRAIM.

Looks like the grayedigger in HllZ1lIllCl.H When he smiles he resembles Dr. Jekyll with the green lights turned on., Is perfectly harmless, however, and will eat out of the hand. In his physical makeup he resembles lbiffcnbach, except that he lacks Rudolph's glorious chest. But for that mat- ter so does Rudolph. His two great achievements are saying Darf ich hinaus gehen? to the Dutchman and hurling banana skins at recess. To the one Prof. Raddatz says, HXVGUII du must, jay to the other, Du hast better don't!' In both cases- exit lliddy. as his desire for eating, he would eatingl. VVILLIAM C. ELIASON, JR.

Eliasonfs chief objectin coming to college seems to be to keep the lunch-counter man from failing. Ile is the first one at the counter and thc last to leave.
