Knox, sometimes better known as “Joe,” due to various characteristics, left Shushan in the fall of 1022 to enter our Alma M itei and concentrate Ins untiring efforts on the pur- suance of an Engineering Degree, We arc exceptionally glad that he lias made this wise choico as he has proven to he v veiy good student and has promise of becoming one of the outstanding men of the class. However, his activities have not been confined to scholastic attainment alone During the pa t two years he has developed unusual literary ability, from writing not less than two letters each day, skillfulness in tlm handling of large “truck horses.” ami exceptional cap- abilities as a hunter of bip game in the Adirondack .

Winfield Joseph Augustine, K. K. Lambda lota, A. 1. E. E.. Treas. (25), Samoset, Basket ball. Prepared at Colton, N. Y. Winnie came to us from the quiet little town of Colton, tucked awa in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Not being accustomed to the high lift': of Potsdam he has evaded the lures of the fair sex and led a very quiet and peaceful college career. But watch out for these quiet, dark-haired Techer? sometimes they are dangerous when aroused. When it comes to solving long equations Steinmetz has nothing on Winnie and we will not be surprised to hear that the General Electric Company has a new consulting engineer enrolled in their de- partment. Joseph I ). Austin, C. K. Sigma Delta, Senior Invitation Committee (4), Varsity Baseball (2) (3), Class Basketball (2) (3) Captain, Class Basketball (8). Prepared at Tech High, Buffalo, X. Y. “Joe”, the stoic, came to us from the University of Arizona, and not under a cloud either, if you know what 1 mean. First in his scholastic ability, first in the hearts of his fellow classmen and bust in the hearts of the ladies, has made him many friends. However, we hear there is a maiden fair in far Kenmore who thinks the sun rises and sets about Joe, and we could safely go as far as to say that Joe reciprocates. Oliver Bercy Bemis, E. E. Lambda Iota, Member A. I. E. E., Square and Compass Prepared at Adams High School, Adams, N. Y. Ollie (or B2) came to Clarkson in the fall of 1922 and be- gan his college career by demonstrating a selected variety of fancy dives in the ducking tank behind the Tech. But here, his athletic and ingenious ability did not cease, as was soon ascertained by the Sophs while looking for offending fresh- men. When our hero encountered them, he did the 200 yard dash and the vanishing act before pursuit could even be started—the old barrel behind the Perkins House had lent its staves as a means of protection rather than a means of persuasion. Throughout his course, Ollie’s scholastic record has been nothing to be scoffed at and he has claimed immuni ty from the attractions of the fair sex (having only five or six dates a week and staying until midnight—if he did not get kicked out earlier.) Well “B2,” here’s wishing you luck and hoping that in case of need you will always find a barrel in readiness. D. H. Bradish, C. E. Lambda Iota, Basketball, Football, Baseball. Prepared at Potsdam High School. Don is one of the few local boys of Potsdam who intends to make good and he’ll surely do it, more or less. He is one of those naturally agreeable, good-natured fellows with a never failing smile. Perhaps this is a detriment because ali the girls fall for it and Dan just can’t disappoint the fair Normal maidens. The Civil Department could very little gei along without Dan to see that things go all right. Some say they are going to make him Dean of the department when he finishes this year. The best of luck, Don, we know you’ll get there. tzeenty-seven
