Harry Fred Juergens, juergie, E T A, T B H Cleveland Lincoln High School. Juergens hailed from the South-side of the city, coming to Case from Lincoln High four years ago. Although he has attended almost all of Case functions he never made a great deal of noise while present. That wasn't his specialty, he tended more toward getting good grades and succeeded in making Tau Bet in his junior year, so he merited the nickname Brainy. His hobby was traveling and he covered most of the United States during his vacations. There's a good outlook ahead for Brainy. . john Francis Maline, Jack, Shorty, E N Youngstown Cheer Leader QD, Q41 5 Chairman School Supper Com- mittee f3D 3 Athletic Board C42 9 Senate C31 UU 5 Ohio State University. Jack, or Shorty, as he is more widely known, hails from Youngstown, Ohio, the town of steel fame. After one year at Ohio State something lured him to Case and to us he brought the greatest supply of enthusiasm we have seen in a long time. He was the friend of every freshman and knew most of them personally. We shall sadly miss his cute smile as he hangs his coat on the fence to lead the football cheering. William Lyle Merrick, Lye, K 2 Hanoverton Oberlin College. When l..ye isnlt sleeping in class, it is because he has a final the next day. The sound of a lectureris voice seems to have a peculiar, quieting effect on l..ye's nerves. However, he has that gift of concentration and good luck which allows him to kill the finals as they come. l..ye belongs to that notorious gang of Civils and still treasures that modest plaid cap which at one time was the insignia of their clan. Ralph Sprague Millard Cleveland Central High School. That sturdy individual with the determined walk and the sandy hair, who has been seen for some time past traversing Euclid avenue between East l05th and College can be none other than Millard. Ralph has had his troubles in getting all the work laid out for him by Frankie done according to sched- ule, but he says that he will land a sheepskin here this year or never, and dependability is one of the strongest impressions one receives from meeting him. As for his success after college we have no fears. His business ability alone, evidenced by trade in arm bands and pennants whenever a football trip was made, should guarantee that our hopes for him will be realized.

E ' GK ' 37 S lmore Gustave Berne1ke, Chief, .4 T A, T B II Cleveland Central I-ligh School. Chief is that unperturbed and distinguished-looking gentle- man whom we have sometimes seen haunting the main building. Nothing ever seems to Worry him nor to chase that expression of content from his face. ln fact, the impression of self-confidence which he gives evidently had its effect with the Taw Baits, for we must add that he is numbered with that disreputable aggre- gation. It must not be thought that Chief's sole occupation is in roaming from room to room in the main building, for he occa- sionally indulges in a little baseball for the glory of the civil department. Frazier Hansford Doddridge Berea Baldwin University. A bustling, business-like little person, Dodd has lost no time in wearing off the moss of his former alma mater, and fell quite naturally into the habit of cutting mechanics with reckless indifference for fear he might regain some of the somnolent in- eptitude of Brurrr. With his matter-of-fact and likeable nature he has fitted right in from the start, and we are not sure but that he will repeat when it is the hard, crool world that he is up against. ' Albert john Ecks-tine, Dutch, Ecky, E A E, T B H Crestline Baseball f3Dg Chairman of Faculty Reception Commit- teeg Owl and Keyg Skull and Bonesg Wooster University. Possessing as he does the surname of our eminent treasurer, Dutch sometimes answers to the name of HEcky. One thing Dutch never dreamed of when he came to Case four years ago from the wilds of Wooster and that was his capture by the Taw Baits. But he did know he could play baseball and demon- strated that fact by making the varsity in his junior year. Above all, we relish Dutch with his subtle humor and wish him all the success his capabilities now promise him. Hans Thieme Hammer, Hans-tomee, K E, T B H Cleveland Associate Editor Differential f3Jg School Supper Com- mittee f3j g Central High School. Hans is one of the exponents of the good old Irish race, having a decided affinity for sauerkraut. l-lans had a varied career before he came to Case, the most varied period being his education at the 'iCosmopolitan school. He can now usually be found on his stool in one corner of the Civil drawing room with his pipe in his mouth and his drawing board in the opposite corner of the room. Nevertheless, Hans is a mighty good worker and the Taw Bates have now captured him.

Harry Stone Nelson, Bat, T B H Cleveland West l-ligh School. l-low they ever came to call him Bat Nelson we can not tell, but never was a nickname less applicable to a civil engineer. Bat was never much of a boxer, except when it came to knock- ing out math problems or geology tests. Nelson could well claim the title of the most industrious, most conscientious senior Civil because he was the hardest worker in the class. The euphonious appellation of Red,' was once applied to Nelson, but his hair is no longer of that radiant hue, probably due to a true Case spirit which he possesses. Fred Peiser, Fritz Cleveland Central l-ligh School. The l9l2 Civils did not have a varsity football man in their number, but when it came to stars in the class games Peiser took the laurels. l-lis special stunt was getting forward passes. Peiser's musical ability was questioned by his classmates, espe- cially when he tried to whistle. l-le called it music, but the rest of the Civils said it was annoying. If Peiser can overcome the difficulties of the outside world as well as he did the tempta- tions of New York he will surely make good. Julius Herman Piotrovvsky, Pete', Cleveland South I-Iigh School. Pete they called him almost immediately after he came to Case, and he has never lost the title. l-le took the Civil course because he knew it was difficult and now is proud that he has mastered Frankieis structures successfully. Pete never thought it advisable to do more work than necessary, but he never shirked. Altho he was meek and unassuming, he was conventional to the highest degree so that we are sure to hear of Pete long after he graduates. , Herman Nicholas Saurwein, Sauer, E T A Cleveland Band Cl D, CZD, 135, C4Jg East High School. They say that music hath charms and that's probably why Sauer took his place in the band every fall. l-le, too, was seen at 'almost every junior dance, probably there on account of the music. When not in the drafting room you were sure to hncl him at one of the musical comedies in town. But he rarely ever let Frankie's tests go by without killing them, and anyone who does that has a good chance at success.
