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.

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.

RIARTIN LIQDNVIG Sfotfsblujf, Nab. Martin is one of the few among us who call Nebraska their home state. There is a rumor current among us, that on one occasion he missed his train, and covered the whole distance on foot. His fame as an excellent short-distance runner leads us to be- lieve this. For a number of years he conducted a thriving business by pressing our uniforms and Sunday togs. Upon retiring from this in- dustry he devoted his spare moments to card-writing, at which he is genius. His greatest achievement is the ap- preciation of the value of time, both in study periods and during vacation. The latter he invariably spends in St. Joseph, Mich., by working and visit- ing. VVe are not certain, however, at which of the two he spends most time. RIARTIX KRETZ XI .xx N Kvuldfzllrillv, Ind. This peaceful looking individual, commonly known as Mike, has a knack of making himself inconspicu- ous at all times, except when at the pipe-organ or the piano. Then his timidity vanishes, and he is so com- pletely absorbed in coaxing harmon- ious utterances from the instrument that he hears or sees nothing else. But, strange to say, his sense of har- mony fails him when extemporizing Hebrew passages, or when a chemical equation stares him in the face. True to his appearance, Mike is a gentle, kind-hearted soul, seldom given to violent outbursts of ferocity. The only exceptions we know of are the occasions on which the blower of the pipe-organ burned out. and when someone accused him of copying his Hebrew exercises upside down. Page Twenty-jive
