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

' 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

HORACE ERDAI AN Gcnvsco, III. Not so very long ago, Horace was asked what his aim in life might be. XYhen he had finished enumerating his objects, the interviewer concluded that Paddle had more aims in him than the entire coast artillery, and more objects in life than any encyclopedia mentioned. At present, however, Horace is content with delivering stirring orations and startling opinions on all important issues of the day. On the side, of course. he keeps abreast with the rank and tile of us in his class-work, attempting to pay especial attention to Greek. Hebrew. and Chemistry. ln his spare hours and on Sundays. he spends many a happy hour with4relatives and friends in and around Ft. VVayne. The ex- perience and knowledge he has gained by these exploits. Horace some day in' tends to publish in the form of a book. entitled, A'Privileges. Page Twenty Info ARTHUR ENc.Er.BtzRr Braddock, Penn. Thus far, Patter's career has been a rather colorful one. First of all, he hails from near Pittsburgh. The smokiness of that region no doubt ac- counts for the uncertainty of most of his statements. His activities at the Bunk have also been of varied hue. For several seasons he was a member of the Second Concordians. and proved to be a valuable link in that chain of cagers. During the past year he served as baseball manager and as a cheer-leader during the basketball season. ln the latter capacity he gained special distinction by his knack of emphasizing the most impor- tant parts of yells with the resound- ing thump of his entire avoirdupois tumbling' to the floor. Of his high and noble aspirations, one deserves special mention. namely, to be ex- empted from a chemistry final.
