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

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.

This is due in part to his quiet, winning nature and a smile which seldom comes off. He has acquitted himself well' in his capacity as Cadet-Major. Due to his untiring activity. the battalion has con- tinued its uninterrupted progress. In varsity basketball games he proved himself a valuable cog in the scoring machine. Legs was president of Prima and Secnnda, and in this re- spect also, his ability as a leader did not fail him. Herbert once expressed the opinion that if his ultimate goal were not the ministry. he would use the experience gathered while a member of the Sleuth Committee to advantage, and make the tales of Sherlock Holmes sound like bedtime stories, for he looks the world in the face and fears no woman. Faye Tuvenly-.si.r XVILBUR LUECKI-: Ft. IVHXIIC, Ind. lVe take pride in presenting to you the likeness of the son of the Director, a distinction to which not every class can lay claim. S-ab has. known no other home than the college premises, and is therefore thoroughly acquaint- ed with the vicissitudes and intricacies of 'Abunk life. He ranks among the best tennis players in our midst, but his best laurels were won in the high- jump, having broken a previous bunk record by several inches. Until a few years ago, Sab took little interest in politics. but of late he has been watch- ing the papers closely for government activities. The reason for this seems to be the ever-increasing number of woman employees in the Postal De- partment at XYashington, D. C.
