ERNST 'JEHN' ' Chicago, 111. StudentiBoard of Dir.,jStatf tBus. Mng, Basketball, Tennis Coach, Glee Club, Octette, Invitation Committee. This class compatriot has the most delicious of nicknames. It will make your tongue float in water. ,Just say to yourself slowly and sweetly: HJiaunf' Yum! Yum! Heis the sweetestschap we ever met. Really, he is as sweet and good as his most popular name. But wow li-when Pfaff is guarding on the basketball iioor, or trying to study He- brew, he is the fiercest of fighters. Then it is the best policy to avoid him, especially if you only want to talk about this or that just to while away the time. We have almost forgotten to mention that he is a rare bird when it comes to singing. His lips can drip such honeyed dithyraans as to make a second golden-mouthed Caruso. Whole crowds listen to his warbling in sheer breathlessness. You bet your boots, the Class of '28 will always prize this valuable donation from the city of gangs and gunshot. Oh boy! and those blue eyes! 371 OSWALD KEIPER Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Student Board of Dir. tRec. Sech, Base- ball, Basketball, Glee Club, Octette tPresJ, Staff iSales Mng Kibby is noted for his many-sided- nessi Somehow he is connected with so many collections of eVery 'sort that in his churchly career he certainly ought to land a. hrst-claSS job as dea- con if he should not beecme ta minisi ter. On Fridays he collects for the an- nual, on Saturdays he collects Olym- pian laurels on the diamond or the Hoot, on Sundays he collects pennies at Sunday School, and on Monday mornings he has a silver collection of his wierdest thoughts so that he can furnish a line to dispel washday blueness. His racetrack round of activities causes him to be so wiry and Wiggly at times that a fellow actually expects to see him go up in smoke from the very vibration. In fact, he' got so hot one day that his classmates had to duck him u'ncere- moniously in Lake Michigan. Since then he seems to shiver a little at the sight of water.

FRED HAMANN Pekin, Ill. Staff tLit. EdJ, Class Secy., Sanhedtin, Movie Operator, Chief Librarian, Dir. Library Extension. Behold our distinguished and gifted literary editor. Does he really possess sueh outstanding talents in this art? Why, to be sure ! For at times he bursts forth in such volcanic eruptions of polysyllabic words that he can blow anyone off his pedestals. In addition, his style is a regular mine of striking expressions and as refreshing as soda- pop, so we donlt mind it much. But, oh!-When he lets himself loose in an oration, then beware ye Ciceros, and Websters. How the walls of our dear Concordia writhe and bulge when Haman's vocal organs become un- controllable! Now, that isnlt all. He is a philosopher as well as a critic. As he sits entrenched behind his library, you would think he was storing up enough dynamic knowledge to blow up the rest of the world. His reward shall be brickbats and boquets. HENRY IMELMANN Melrose Park, Ill. Staff tTreasJ, Class Treas., Prima Club Treas., Basketball Bus. Mgr., Athletic Board, Glee Club. This noble and elongated specimen was donated to our class by the sub- urb of Melrose Park. And what a don- ation! His cleverness is surprising, his mischievousness alarming, his laz- iness astounding. Stand in front of HHanklsH bedroom a few minutes be- fore breakfast. At exactly 6:28, two minutes before the dining-hall doors are closed, out jumps Ash with a towel around his head and a bar of soap in his hand, looking for all the world like a Turk. He leaps to the washroom with lightning rapidity and then makes a final kangaroo hop for the eats. Whenever he, the general tax-collector, enters a room, every in- mate makes a sudden grab for his purse and hangs on for dear life. He dearly loves to remind one of the dues that are forthcoming, licking his chops in covetous anticipation of gobbling down a pocketfull of our precious Shekels.

ORWALD KIENOW Milwaukee, Wis. Swift Trio, Staff tA'dv. Mng, Glee Club. Enter. Orwald, the gentleman who supplies most of the humor to be 'found in the class. See him rise in the midst of a lecture to tell one of his funny stories, and then furnish his own ap- plause with a hee-haw that would do credit to'old King Cole. He rightfully belongs in one of Barnum's' sideshows. HOrviel' is a lover of the ancient Greeks, and as they were great in de- bate and t'speechifying'l in general, he must needs be likewise. And oh, what prowess has he not attained in this line! He has become so proficient at debating that he always emerges vic- torious. His skill has given rise to the saying: Though defeated, he argued stillfl When he learned that the word ttKINEO in his beloved Greek tongue sometimes means to move like an earthquake, he promptly secured en- trance into the lab and proceeded to concoct an' explosive that came near to shattering our whole institution. Exit ttOrvie and his horse-laugh. HERMAN KOPPELMANN Portland, Oregon Librarian Sanhedrin, Dormitory Lieutenant. Here is our latest addition. The last reports have it thathoppy came to us from someWhere in the West. This has not as yet- been definitely proved to the satisfaction of the entire class, for some members contend that if they dont see him riding a bronco to c1aSses pretty soon, they will not accept it as a fact. Theoretically, we believe he actually does come from one of the Western States, because when he buys a railroad ticket to go home, you would actually think he was going into the printing business. Another thing that would lead us to believe that he comes from the West is that he is always telling Freshmen how as a youngster he used to stand on his head on top of Mt. Hood. Well, anyway, he is the kind of friend that one doesn't like to buck off. He would remOVe the Rocky Mountains if he knew he could please a. chum of his by doing so. '
