If lightlyfilj touched on the back while passing classes, you may feel certain that it is Johnny, who demands your immediate attention. John, being a little fellow, delights in picking on the six-footers. It is the hope of '27 Feb. that he applies the same principles in life and tackles the large problems found there, for we are sure that he will solve them in his usual confident manner. In school he has taken much interest in class ath- letics, especially basket ball. John looks like a grade school pupil, but spoils it all when he is seen riding around in his so-called automobile. One of his nicknames tends to give away a secret, but that's all right, Johnny. S'l0ng! ALFRED WILLIAM EDYE-General Scientific uAl,1v uEdye,n :AE-.ddyu Philos, 1, 2. lVhen this chip of humanity went to have his image recorded on paper, it is univers- ally known that the camera could not stand the operationg the photographer, therefore, put it on a tripod. That is not all. Before the photographer could make Edye smile he had to hire '27 Feb.'s noted humor editor to do his stuff. Eddy sure gave the camera the haw-haw' then. Eddy's favorite expression is Jazz, let me compare my '1'rig. with yours. Aside from that, he has -the ear-marks of a hard worker. He is always seen doing something or nothing, more or less. Outside of school, he gives his service to a local press firm, and if he keeps on pressing we are sure he will make his mark.

VVhen he entered High School, he was a bashful, afraidlto- say-something lad, then he suddenly made up his last night's sleep in school. Neil's ambition is to become a forester in the wide-open spaces, and the class wishes him luck. JOHN D.

This is not a. photo of Cupidg in spite of its almost perfect beauty, it is a human being. XVe hear you gasp with delight as you gaze at that countenanceg we see the bosoms of a thousand maidens heave as they behold that flashing eye, that noble mouth, that varnished scalp. Oh, we shed a tear for the hearts that shall break after this next sen- tence. There is no hope! John is already practically married. And her name is Mary. 0, most fortunate female creature! She knows an intelligent man when she sees one, and no kiddin', for Johnny is really a smart feller and as popular with the rest of us as pie for breakfast. Success and happiness!

Boys, do you get the picture? Regard with your optic lobes this specimen of the Class of '27 Feb. Student Elmah is an all-around fellow, and, as can be seen above, Jazz has been very active in the scholastic and athletic relations of this institution. Jap expects to matriculate at the University of Pennsylvania, where he will study archi- tecture. He is already quite an artist and draws many girls. Recently, one of these has been drawn away from him, but that's all right. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Although we all must part, we will never forget Jass and his chop suey accent. All the success possible is wished upon yon, Jasper. ARTHUR ERICKSEN-General Scientific .uArt,!1 uErick'n zlottsfr ltLeif!!

There is an understood saying about the school, XVhere there is a picture machine, Ericksen will be found. For years Art has been interested in this kind of work and has been Dr. Mengel's right-hand man. If he is not working a camera, he can be found prowling around the Museum. Ericksen's parents hail from the Scandinavian Peninsula, although he was born in this country. XVhen he was about ten years old, he visited his fatherland. Many times in classes hetells extremely interesting tales of that far-away country. Lief is interested in dramatics, and has been a member of the Thespians for four years. XVe wish him all the success in the world in his later life.
