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.

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.

Albert Andrew Schatzinger, Scl'1atzie,'l K E Cleveland Baseball QD, f3Q, f4Dg Hockey f3Dg Glenville I-ligh School. Whenever there is a good time on hand, you can expect to see Schatzie in the center of it. One of his most important duties is to attend every dance that comes along, and he performs this duty in a most thorough-going manner. While not the shark of his class, Schatzie seems to have no trouble in killing the tests, and this ability, coupled with a perpetual smile, has won him the good will of all who know him. john Franklin Shurnvvay, jack, B 0 H Cleveland Athletic Board UU, Owl and Keyg Skull and Bones, Alpha Phi. The question of time never seemed to bother Shumwayg in fact, not finding it convenient to graduate with l9l l, he cast his fortunes with the present senior class with unperturbed aban- don. Time, however, is not by any means alone in not disturb- ing Jack, for we fail to recall any occasion when he was vio- lently aroused. l-le has followed his course calmly, making close friends along the way, and we all hope that he will land something pretty nice when he has left the halls of learning. M. Roy Strong, Max, 'glVIike, Milton, E X, T B H, C9 T Cleveland Class Secretary-Treasurer CZQ, C31 f4Dg South I-Iigh School. Taking his own good time to decide finally upon taking the civil course, Strong did not enter upon lTrankie's domain until last year. l-le had at first cast his lot with the miners, but saw the error of his ways before becoming hopelessly depraved. Track athletics has held considerable charm for him, the pole vault being his specialtyg he likewise acted as manager for what there was of a track team last year. l-le has also managed to vault to a considerable height in such things as mere studies, for the Taw Baits made him one of them in short order. Roy E. Walworth Ashtabula Western Reserve University. This man started out as a fireman on the Lake Shore, but switched himself to Case so that he might be an engineer in- stead. l-le was very talkative and had the peculiar faculty of getting in wrong with the profs by asking questions, some answer- able, some not. Nobody in the 1912 Civil class has been able to put the quietus on him, so they say, inasmuch as he is without doubt the biggest scrapper in the class. He should be able to succeed by his knowledge of railroads alone if the rest of what he learned proves useless.
