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 .

WHEN the handwriting appears on the walls of the Chemistry building a 'cd' long story of the life of George A. Dawson will be told. For the college ' life of George was mainly in the chem building. There he ate, slept, con- hy ducted elaborate experiments and caused frequent explosions which almost I wrecked the building. lk The college life of this lab rati'-and we use such a descriptive term out l of all respect for the genius who can create chemical formulas unintelligible yi to English majors like us-may be divided into two periods. The lirst lk includes his freshmen and sophomore years, when outside of scientific circles , f all that was known of George was that he was a devout chem major, light- ll- ing shy of the womenfolks, a stranger to the corrupt influences of the dance- , hall and an orthodox Baptist. Xi The second period in the evolution of George A. is marked by a meteor- l like ascent in the social world. It appears that George hitched his wagon to a X newspaper job and henceforth became popular and humang that is, as nearly If human as a lab rat can be. It is even rumored, and there are witnesses to Il substantiate this rumor, that he was seen with a girl as many as three times he at college affairs. 'I Despite these reports, we still retain our faith in the inherent goodness of X George. He is still of the type against whom Mencken rants, a type much lr maligned but withal rather essential to the progress of the country. X George A. li X la ll ill E I'-:SI
