BRAUN. Philosophy is a dangerous food, for it will either be digested or cause dyspepsia. Judging from this care-worn face, the latter has apparently taken place. It will hardly be denied that Braun possesses the widest literary knowl- edge amongst his classmates. Extensive reading and assiduity in his studies are his characteristics. Occasionally he voices a profound conglomeration of philosophical gusts, thus relieving himself of superfluous ballast, and nearly smothering his by-standers. The 'Profs' donit give us half enough work.'7 A. BRISKY. Here we behold the portrait of a young man who is so volitiously ambi- tious that his energy is often consumed by merely planning to undertake a task! Adding to this friendly face a pair of musical hands, two lower extremities of great dexterity, and a graceful body, corresponding to the remainder of the figure, and illumining the product of our imagination with an ever-glowing smile, might give us a hazy idea of Brick. He did not invent the German language, Dativ and Accusativ are fac- similes in his eyes, existing merely for an occasional change from the monotous Nominativel HShake on it, guys! E. BRUNN. This is our virtuoso Brunn. He is Lisztis successful rival. One can see him daily going towards the music building with a suitcase. His destination is piano room 8, and his suitcase contains his music, a harmony pad, and a metronome. But there is a reason. His entire life is a musical one. He was born in A Flat, believes it is good to B Sharp, and is still A Minor. Erwin is a full-fledged member of the Anti-Smoking Club. A good whiff of Tuxedo will set his brains into a complete state of utohuwabohuf' For he once read in the history of music that Liszt neither smoked nor chewed, so why should IT' Erwin is the shining star of class '20. System is his motto. We venture to predict that he will not die of inactivity. When his eyes grow dim, and his fingers stiff, the literary market will still be open for the publication of his book upon wfhe Prolific Propagation of the Extinct Amphibians? uCome on, guys, cut it outlv Elcvfn H0 -he :ac ls: ..

Take a good look at Fatty Arbucklef, Verily, he would make a delicious meal for the Cannibals. He certainly has a superfluous amount of adipose tissue. He is quite egotistic, and likes to put on airsj It is not very agreeable for a person to converse with L'Bill, for one thinks he is facing a heavy rain. Bill,' was made famous by being appointed to the College nine baseball team. He was retained on the team as sub-catcher. But Fate so favored him that he had no opportunity to display his wares. Nevertheless, if Bill meets the ball, it sails on for a mile. Bill is quite proficient in music, he may become a second Paderewski some day. 'cWhen I was out East--7' G. DERER. Look at himg doesn't he look important?-ulohn D. is of Slovak extrac- tion. Since his enrollment at this institution he has partly mastered both the English and German languages, but the latter is to him like a poisonous serpent. Q However, he has his faults. 6gCustie', has not yet succeeded in commanding his uncontrollable temper, for at the least provocation, he lets his choleric temperament get the better of him. g'Ujdi, lebo te fluknem jednuw can very often be heard when his anger is aroused. He always thinks he knows it all, therefore, John D. says to the professor, GLNO, professor, the author meansf' etc., and he cannot be convinced otherwise. Gustie, at times, tries to dominate over the weaker ones, but is not always successful. 6'Come on, guys, let's beat itf, W. EGGERS. Permit me to introduce to you 6'Simonac,7' the ulchabod Cranew of modern times. Imagine a tall, long-legged individual, with hands that dangle a mile out of his coat sleeves, feet that might serve as shovels, and a frame most loosely put together, and you have a mental picture of L'Simonac. ulsankyi' is by profession a Sunday-school teacher, and for this reason rarely agrees with the 'aProfs. In the class room: HI don't quite agree on that subject? He can get along with or without anyone, but no one can get along with himf???l. But, despite these failings, we must admit that he has a brain. He is very conscientious in his work, geometry be-ing one of his favorite studies. He is also willing to help anyone in dire need. 6'Say, 4Lanky,' where did you get the close to that choral?
