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.

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.

v i l-l-QUNARIP lioizsriga I Ft. IVLIDVIIU-, Ind. Of the many benehts enjoyed here. the one most appreciated by Kampy undoubtedly is the sharpening of his wits. He made use of this asset by combining the pleasures of home life with the adventures experienced at the hunk, when he persuaded his parents to make their home in Ft. Yl'ayne. instead of in the southern part of Indiana. Like a Siamese twin, he never is seen alone, but shares every adventure with his crony, ,lim Arnclt. Kampy does not participate in the usual sports. but derives most of his excitement and exercise from striving to maintain his equilibrium in crowded street cars, On account of the location of his home, his intimate acquaintance with his saxaphone and syncopated music, as well as strict observance of his social duties, the honorary title of Shiek of South- wood Park has been conferred upon him. Page 7-'lE'E'11fj'4fl7lG7' PAUL HL'RAX' Kzinmiillc, Tumi. Although Paul has been with us only two short years, still this time has sufhced to convince us that he is a man of no mean ability. On account of his previous acquaintance with military drill, he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant at the be- ginning of the year. XYhenever his studies proved difticult, he attacked them from their weakest angles, and always maintained a top-notch posi- tion in them. Aside from these merits, Paul has acquired fame for his eloquence in speech and skill in debate. Give him the Hoot, an audi- ence, and a topic, and soon no dog will bark, neither will a pin drop. Tennessee's outlook for the career of a parson certainly is a bright one.
