The Student Board of Directors C. Zimmerman .......... President 0. Keiper .......... Rec. Secretary J. H. Baumgaertner. .Vz'ce-President M. Eggers .......... Cor. Secretary T. Fruendt ............. Treasurer E. Jehn ................. Primaner E. Krause ............ Secundaner Six years ago a siX-foot Primaner arose in a Coetus meeting- called a tmass meeting in those days-aand declared, Demosthenes-like: Gentle- men, theoretically our student body has a Constitution, practically it has none. Thereupon the Faculty took the matter up for discussion, and soon the Constitution was drafted. Today this same document furnishes the regu- lations for student government, though it has had to undergo some altering and lengthening to f1t changing conditions of campus life. Its chief provision is for a Student Board of Directors, which meets on the first Tesday of every month. The miunutes of these meetings and the proposals made in them are read at the next Coetus meeting, called on the following Friday. The students are asked to consider the suggestions of the Broad though they may also take action on things of lesser importance which the Board has not discussed. Further provisions are made for an Athletic Board tsee picture on page 640 and an Entertainment Committee, besides numerous other othces.

CARL ZIMMERMAN Woodstock, 111. Student Body Pres., Class Pres., Staff tEdJ, Glee Club, Orchestra tSech, Octette, Sanhedrin, Secyi. of Prima-Secundar Permit us to introduce our monitor, HZimmie.H Mentally he is so acrobatic that the convolutions of his mind can twist out the most novel ideas possible. Physically he is as Spry as a spring rooster, especially, we dare say, when he succeeds in getting a good number on a German composition. Frequently but not always, Zimmie flashes a pair of horn-rimmed circular wind- shields on his nasal promontory or what-you-may-call-it. These suggest that he reads a good deal. Really, he devours whole libraries of books with ghoulish glee. And when he uses his typewriter, it rattles a rat-a-tat-tat at such a furious, teeth-loosening rate that honestly, it scares the life out of one. Where our monitor shines bright- est is in his office of Primus Omnium, alias Primus Onion. Since he wields this infallible power, he holds the student body in tyrannical subjection with his winning smile and honest, sincere friendship. FRED BOELTER Detroit Mich. Class Vice-Pres., Glee Club tTreasJ, Basketball, Baseball, Librarian, Courier Ed. StaE, Bellboy. All hail the busy bee of our collec- tion of rare birds. He is bellhop, basket-baller, base-baller, and a burly bucker. Ainit it so, HButtsi ? He is a representative of that mechanical city of Detroit. He likes to tell us of a machine they have back home into which they dump old junk and rubbish, then turn the crank, and out pops a batch of little Fords. These they ten- derly care for with boiled benzine until they are weaned. He tells this in such a cut-and-dry manner, just as if it happened everlastingly in Detroit. This is characteristic of his whole make-up and of his judgments. He is always slow to decide; calmly and de- liberately he weighs every opposite argument before he gives his opinion. He arouses the ire of his fellow stud- ents each morning by ringing the bell promptly at six otclock. In that miser- able business he is always at his worst, for he clearly loves to hear the waking yawns and angry yaps.
