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.

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

THEODORE MOELLER f1ldlIl71l1f 0lI'S, Ind. 7 From the very beginning of the history of our class, Ted has occupied the chair of jester-laureate. His en- deavors to shed a humorous light up- on everything were invariably crown- ed with success-or some sort of mis- sile, Wheii, after four years of serv- ice, Ted had acquired fame as an excellent driller, he considered himself able to head the military band as drum-major. As stated by himself, he owes most of his musical know- ledge to the two years of baton wielding. Upon returning from a few weeks' confinement to his home be- cause of rheumatism, he displayed a most elaborate and volumious diary. which has been a source of a great part of the Calendar. Ted can be con- gratulated on hailing from Indian- apolis, where, it is said, One cannot heave a brick without endangering the safety of some great literary genius. MORITZ NIICHAEL , Cofvczzfzagm, Dvzzuzark Mike is the only member of our class who hails from the other side of the bounding main. Four years ago he came to us from far-away Den- mark and showed his appreciation for the old U. S. by taking out citizen- ship papers as soon as he was per- mitted. Although he knew practical- ly no English, he mastered it suf- ficiently to participate in our more or less witty every-day conversations. In text-books, however, the language held many mysteries and snares in store for him. YYe were surprised to find that we knew only half of Mike. because we have not yet be- come acquainted with his better half, a twin sister. Nevertheless. we ap- preciate what we do know of him, and never tire of his tales of war- time hardships and experiences while at school in Germany. Page Twen ty-seven
