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.

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

ARNOLD HAHN Hanzlvr, Ohio By way of introduction we should like to state that Rooster belongs to the class of bantam-weights, True to his name and specific physical make-up, he will,knock a chip off anybody's shoulder and will usually get away with it. From the very be- ginning, Hen has been the bane of all the professors and the life of the class. XVith one remark he can cause as much merriment as a whole set of Ring Lardner's works. On Friday nights Rooster in his glory, for then he occupies the position of ticket-seller for the movies. In spite of his pranks, he stands high in his class and has come to be known as an authority in most branches. For his faithful serv- ices, Arnold was made commander of the signal-corps. No doubt we will some day hear of, or rather see, the fame of The Wfigwagging Preacher. HIQHBERT GLOCK llfliiiilzg, Ind. Venus cast his lot with our class live years ago, thinking little that he would, some day, be entrusted with the editing of our Annual. The suc- cess of the Concordian '24 is due very much to his untiring efforts and his weakness for accuracy. He took a summer course in chemistry in order to have more time at his disposal for his task. This also enabled him to untangle many difficulties which we encountered while coping with this subject. As bandmaster he did much to uphold the standard of this unit. His ability as a left-hand piccolo- player won him a place in the 'movie' orchestra. To our surprise. however, he unconsciously became conspicuous here by his absence, due to certain controlling factors in the audience and subsequent change of opinion on 'Asocial functions.
