MARVIN KREN Z W-ausau, Wis. Germania. , . Plinku-p1ink--plunkety-p1unk. The Wunder Dormitory is rocking and reel- ing, windows are rattling, and walls are cracking. Don't be afraid, folks, for all that commotion is. merely the effect of Krenz's punishing his typewriter. Our d e at friend Muvlnl' is still. a staunch unholder of the world-famed hunt-and-peck system and uses it with quite some skill at that. Besides be- ing expert at hammering typewriter keys this representative of Wausau is also a marvel atasleeping, No matter under what conditions, he is suscept- ible to Rip Van Winkle's contagious malady. As all great men, so Krenz too has had his epochal day. It came last fall when, awakening from a sweet sleep, he found himself in the class- room and the professor asking him to proceed. Then 10! when he began reading he had the correct place tfor oncey His knowledge of history is so immense that inside five minutes he can work out one's ancestry to Laugal- zaggisi. WILLIAM LAESCH Milwaukee, Wis. Baseball, Glee Club. . Permit us to introduce everybody to our 'fBill. Once upon a time there was a little boy, and his name was William. Now, this little boy went to school, but when this little boy became a big boy,ihe wanted to go to college.-That is the story of our bouyant classmate. There was a time in the history of our class when P-hillipl' was a regular Buster Brown. He must be using some kind of reducer, for his girth has shrunken beautifully. Maybe he has lost so much of his former self by working too hard over week-ends at Sears, Sawbuck 85 Co. He takes a mean delight in arousing-the ire of cer- tain disgruntled 'classmates in those moments when they are highly peevish. At times he has: been so unmercifully rewarded for his efforts in this direc- tion that we were almost afraid he would be battered out of all recogni- tion. That was one reason why we had this picture taken early in the year.

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. '

EMIL LECHNER Chicago, Ill. Truck Driver. liLefty, our deadliest enemy to lu- gubriousness'. Just let a few clouds of blue begin to gatherand flLefty is boundito shoo them off with his cheery optimism. He takes a keen delight in all the monkeyshines of his classmates, especially when they get a. moony streak. This generally happens in the clubroom where Mr. Lechner loves to hang out. Each prank or piece of wit elicits a loud guffaw from his oracular orifice. He is deeply embittered against anyone who calls his home town a city of shot and shell, for he declares up and down that he has lived there for almost two decades without a scratch. In the classroom he can take the most scathing cloudburst of criticism with- out batting an eye, even when a multi- lated German composition fairly bleeds with red ink. But Lefty'l thinks his compositions have a rosy outlook, de- spite all criticism. That's true to his nature, all right. I401 PAUL LINDENMEYER Aurora, Ill. Braves, Courier tMailing StafD. The class has received whole truck- loads of letters this year congratulat- ing it on account of its most distin- guished member, 'iLindy. It was al- most a nerve-wrecking task to answer all those eulogistic missives telling the senders of their mistake. In fact, the steady stream of letters has not ceased, so We, the Class of 28, hereby wish to make the announcement. that the said ilLindy is not the eminent birdman, but just a struggling young student. Furthermore, we hope that this formal notice will stop the tiood of pink and perfumed paper which threatens to smother the poor fellow. In our stren- uous eiTorts to avert all future mis- takes of this nature and the possible shortage of stationery, we have also changed his name to 'lCrusty. He claims that at times he is almost swamped by his class work and by his massive stacks of daily mail. We are all beginning to admire his endurance.
