QIXHK l'XS'l'lf'f'lfl- llllfw JOHN HENRY WEBER QDKN Born September 19, 1904, Lake- wood. New Jerxey. Prepared at Lakewood High School. - Science Club Cl, 2, 3, 45: Class Numerals Basketball: French Club f4Jg Assistant in Meterology fl, 2, 3, 45. IN Henry we have the official weather man of the college. An apt pupil and worthy follower of Dr. Brooks, he is never happier than when a fierce storm is raging which bids fair to break all known records. Next to Meteorology, Henry is an ardent follower of the great American game. He has at his fingertips the histories of most of the professional base- ball players, their records, the records of their clubs, and prophecies as to their future. It is fittting that in connection with Meteorology Henry should have taken a course in Astronomy. It was his delight then Cand still isj to gaze with the help of a telescope at Venus, Jupiter and the rest of the stars and planets. He once figured to the minute, with the help of Dr. Williams, when the transit of lVIercury would take place. He arose bright and early to be on hand for the event, but he was half a day too early, as it took place in the evening instead of the morning. . Henryls versatility is shown by the high scholastic standing he has main- tained, in diverse branches of learning, especially toward the latter part of his college career. Entering as a special student, he has in this way amassed more than enough credit to graduate. Finally a few words are not out of place here concerning his appreciation of femininity, which has always been positive. It is rumored that his atten- tions are now confined to one. Enough said! We all feel that the weather bureau will find him a valuable ally, and society, a beneficial member. uAbas9 l 85 l

But as there are those 5. l who consider ornamentation as aifectation and whose hero is the strong, silent 'lg man, it stands to reason that John's fate is more often than not that of a pearl . ' in a pigpen. -' il A There is a fertility of thought and expression in the man that one finds it ,W hard to forgive, since it is invoked almost wholly in argument. He draws, not J l Hi many friends in the accepted collegiate sense of the word, but a host of admir- ' i ing antagonists. This is so because few men can bring themselves to sym- W Y pathize with his obviously absurd propositions, and few still can resist his , '21 il. inspired defense of them. 4. N ll' A man who will make his way through life hard, perhaps, but a man, we l, insist, who will yet jolt, with the favor of fortune, an aesthetically apathetic 4 iii, people into some degree of alertness. if-S Y' To analyze him finally: An Armenian, an ego-centric, an introvert with yi a talent for self-expressiong with no one knows how much genius thrown K3 A into the startling mixture. It remains to be seen whether this mixture will 'J 'Q stand or fall. ' - - We will miss this stormy petrel whose keen intellect gnawed into our brains, the pain often arousing us into hasty antagonism. And we will find 'liz it hard to forget this personality, this more successful poseur than the rest 'L li 4 of us, this nonconformist. 3' 1 ll, p 'l ' .4 'i lm, , j rl .

'Q' Z .N 5 ir lr 'E lxu WHEN one is asked to write a biography of a fellow who is truly individual ,131 one is confronted with a problem that is very complex, but nevertheless desir- '34 able. 'KChick is a fellow that is individual. A fellow of staid ideals and , opinions, not at all influenced by prejudice or convention, most sparing with Xa. his friendship and therefore a pleasure to know. Chick is a native of Worcester, and proud of it, and he chose a home is college in order to complete a higher learning and to his mind and ours he '74 could not have chosen better for the fruition of his scholastic desires. Chick lp' is one who takes his courses seriously and that is one hundred per cent to lg. his credit. Spending his time enjoyably in the science laboratories and for- A getting them entirely when mingling with his friends-then he is a jolly lip ood fellow. With straightforward sincerit and Jride Chick', has been N g . . . D Y . l . . . able to withhold yielding to most of the usual disslpations indulged in by tp college men and has got as much out of his college life, if not more so, as 'iii have the rest of us. xx' Because of his interests scholastically Chick has had little time for out- 'li side activities, but that which he has had he has concentrated ITIOSC heavily in behalf of the Dramatic Club. For this reason he was chosen president of lx, the club his Senior year, and furthermore we know that many of the effects 'XA achieved in dramatics as regards scenery and properties have been due to his -,Q ability in origination and construction.
