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

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.

NIARTIN NEBB North East, Pczzu. Major entered our class in Quinta at the tender age of almost thirteen. Our solicitude for his well-being soon became unnecessary, for he proved fully able to take care of him- self. ln order to give all of its mem- bers an equal opportunity for argu- ment and discussion, the Stump, over his veto, elected him president. His speaking ability has, nevertheless, continued to be inversely proportional to his size. This enabled him to hll the position of a cheer-leader very ef- ficiently. He is an ardent supporter of Civil Service Reform, laying most stress upon the prompt delivery of mail within the institution. The chief reason for this is the fact that he is business manager of the Alma Mater sub-staff, not forgetting that he also has a large private correspondence to take care of. Page Twenty-eight ERN sr MUELLER Dashwaod, Out., Canada lfVe are again confirmed in our be- lief in Uncle Sam's good points when we remember that Canuck has al- ways enjoyed himself while on this side of the Canadian border. Ernst's strength is greater than his size. He is not easily seen, but his presence can always be felt. Dick is said to have expressed his liking for rough- and-tumble in the statement that it mattered little, whether bowling balls or toy balloons were used to play basketball. For every military tourna- ment in which he could participate, Ernst can display a prize earned by scoring in the wheelbarrow race. However, he holds a still more re- markable record than that, he has suc- ceeded in rescuing the Bunk barber- shop from the clutches of bankruptcy. Fortunately, the practical application of Semitics never caused his hand to falter and shear the wrong locks.
