' 1 i ,lUL1i's ACKER Ft. H'711j'llt', Ind. Julius takes just pride in being at the head of the class in alphabetical order. He is a native of Ft. XYayneg this circumstance, combined with that of a troublesome motorcycle or Ford, has often made it ditiicult, perhaps impossible, to arrive in time for all classes. His resourcefulness, how- ever, has never failed him, he has al- ways made up his losses during sum- mer vacations or while we were sleep- ing and has always maintained the highest standard in studies. Jules originality and his weakness for es- tablishing hypotheses have shortened many another's tedious hours. Julius' tireless legs and lungs have won him honor after honor on the cinder track, as well as on the tennis court. His spare moments are usually spent in tinkering with his Lizzie or in hlling shelves in the paternal grocery store. Page Twenty PAUL LIST Scbczvaing, llliflz. lYhen do we cat? XVhenever we hear this question we can risk our last mark that Dolus is somewhere in the vicinity. However, we wonder if it is alone his insatiable appetite which makes him a frequent visitor in the kitchen, especially outside of mealtimes. If anyone were to take a peep into Donghless' desk, he would End a very unique collection of pipes, ranging from a corncob to a Mer- schaum. Only once did Paul try to substitute gum for pipes for any length of timeg-we have not yet' learned her telephone number. Cole- ridge and Browning, with their appre- ciative criticism and credit for youth's aspiration, afford him much consola- tion. Paul is a hard worker, and when not preparing for classes, can be found, either manipulating his trom- bone or whipping words into poetry. Some day he intends to compose a Sonnet on Food

-S. re, Jw vu ,ev . -1- v Leo EICKST..-tent LaP0rtc, Ind. Not long after he had become patri- arch of the stationery Jews, Eicky had to go on a diet, in order to avoid the calamity of over-crowded condi- tions in the college-store. Since then the basketball season has come and gone, and the calamity was removed by exercise. As a running guard. Ricks is a terror to the opposing team. For the sake of variety, he oc- casionally pulls some sensational dribbles or comes through with a basket from almost the opposite goal. He usually spends the shorter vaca- tions by making flying trips to his home or by enjoying the hospitality of his bed. ln his younger years, Leo was an excellent pillow-pole Fighter, and often had his opponents head swimming and the audience roaring on Tournament night. At present, his greatest ability consists in dramatiz- ing Sunday evening events. CLARENCE RITTMANN Scynzanr, Ind. Rip's name is connected not only with VYashington lrving's novel, but also with the presidency of the student body. He was trained for this posi- tion by hve years of experience as president of our class. This othce he continued to hold, to the great relief of possible candidates. Rip entered big business circles temporarily when he took over the financial end of our Annual. It is self-evident that he became a shark at tigures and that he made very many new acquaintances while thus engrossed. His method of procedure in the chemistry laboratory is highly interesting. First, he sniffs gingerly at the contents of a test-tube: then he knits his eyebrows and seems lost in profound thought. Finally he utters a scientific jawbreaker, and the act is over. Incidentally, he is just beginning to appreciate Sunday even- ing privileges. The Calendar con- tains the solution of this mystery. . .kelly- rr tw.-4 -ea ws,.1 N wwf .:.'iv,.. wwf me f - ' - -' ,,mW,, if wsmw-ma.: -4 wk'-'K' nf .t. ,wo ,xv .sgw ,,--.,-.,,,:...,t:.-f V - , ,. . .-- 1 ,...

LIOXYARD BRA L' NLICH CIL'Z'l.'IL'll1d, Ohio 'XYe owe our more or less intimate acquaintance with Cleveland largely to Howie, It has been surmised that his adventures in the Ohio metropolis have contributed greatly to his effi- ciency in performing the duties of the Sleuth Committee. This trait also became apparent on the basketball floor, where he displays uncanny ability in anticipating the tactics of his opponents. To Braunlich we are indebted for the publication of re- ligion essays, yells, and other types of heavy literature, which he mimeo- graphs and sells at a price which Huctuates with the cost of elbow grease and printer's ink. The question often arises in our mind concerning Howard's career. We often are inclined to believe that he will follow the profession of a lawyer or politician, for he is often seen emerging quietly from the county court house. CHRISTIAN ARNDT Hankow, China Far from Oriental regions came fair-haired, dreamy-eyed Christoph to add to his store of former exper- iences the thrills and adventures of bunk life. He joined us in Secunda, and straightway found his way into our hearts thru his good nature and his ability to spin yarns about the East. His experience in business circles made him an excellent adver- tising manager on our Annual staff. Although never shirking in his duties, Chris greatly appreciated a little frivolity now and then, as most of us do. Due to his untiring efforts, the efficiency of our wash-room fixtures has been greatly improved, especially in that an abundant supply of stoppers has been secured. Some day Chris hopes to be an authority on compara- tive philology, specializing in Hebrew and Chinese. Page Twenty-one
