Rope Pull Cl, 25 3 Varsity Baseball CZ, 325 Science Club C4D. JIMMY Cooke is one of the few surviving relics of the good old days at Clark. He was a Junior when most of us were Freshmen and at the end of that year was elected vice-president of the student body. Unfortunately, however, owing to an inexplicable desire for money, he left us for a couple of years. Last September he returned from parts unknown, older, sadder, and wiser than before, this undoubtedly due to many experiences of which we have no authentic record. At present writing, he is most likely to be found in the library deeply absorbed in obtaining results for the Department of Mathematics. There have been very few who have been able to complete four years of work in that department, but Jimmy evidently chose that type of training for his college work in preference to more spectacular pursuits. Even the mightiest, however, are vulnerable, and our friend and math- ematician is no exception. If you saw him in the library studying with un- believable concentration all the afternoon you might have assured yourself that it was in anticipation of an evening in the home town to be spent in per- fectly good company. Nevertheless the question of the value of evenings spent in the companionship of the femmes of the species must remain open for the present. Well, we are glad to have him graduating with us in 1926 and those of us who know him best only regret that he was not with us for four years instead of for only two. Jimmy, O'vx A OQCX, I ii .

College Orchest-ra Clbg College Glee Club QZD 3 Treasurer of Delta Mu Fraternity C355 Head of Clark University Press f4l: President La Cercle Francais Q4D. VVE should be indeed grateful debtors to Worcester Tech. for having nursed in her bosom even for a short time one who at length developed the excellent taste to change his academic habitat, in his enlightenment migrating to Clark for the further pursuit of knowledge. During the several years since his advent Charles, familiarly Chuck , has been a distinct force in making life a pleasant and uplifting pursuit of the liner things. As he is a talented manipulator of the bow and fiddle his aid has been invaluable in orchestral matters. His splendid voice is a nat- ural and physical manifestation of an inherently artistic and beauty-loving mind. This beauty-loving 'propensity has been productive of a long infliction of himself upon a certain Winsome young lady of our acquaintance. If this instinct for the line and charming in things continues to lead Charles as unerringly in future as it has heretofore a gracious and successful life is assured. Romance languages has been and promises long to be the chief intellectual source in his academic repast. For Charles has hopes quite certain of fulfill- ment, we believe, of becoming a dignilied teacher after quitting our halls. With a love of nature and of the tine arts, as well as a delight in prac- tical puttering , together with a knowledge and interest in languages and history, a delightful round of protit and pleasure promises in after daya.. May these promises be amply justified! Charley N M N N N . e l45l
