PAUL LASSIERRE FUNK. “Funkibusr Newville, Pa. “Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look.” Funkibus is a “hello girl,” which means that he occasionally works in the Newville Tele- phone Exchange. Despite the fact that he is very reserved, he was quite the favorite with the ladies at Asbury park last summer. There is not space to tell of his adventures, but you might ask him about Deal Beach, and what happened there for two weeks. His heart beat so fast that he broke three watch crystals. WESLEY POWELL GRIFFITHS. “Grif.” Williamstown, Pa. “All the courses of my life do show I am not in the roll of common men.” Reed Literary Society, Covenant Society. “Grif” is a very conscientious sort of fellow. All through the school year he has been cudgeling his brains to understand why he was given a reception by the Grand Order of Night Owls. He is rather studious and has little time for any distractions. 21

HAROLD W. FRITZ. “Fritzie.” Delano, Pa. As merry as the clay is long.” Omega Chi Fraternity, Reed Literary Society. Although this is his first year here, “Fritzie’s” sunny disposition won the hearts of all. He is a firm believer in the saying that “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well,” and goes at his tasks with might and main. His Professors can tell you of his record in the class room, and for the rest just ask anyone that knows him. GUY FULTON. “Man delights not me; no nor woman neither.” Baseball Team, ’09. Of course, Guy is an exceptionally hard student, but when he is, called on to recite the answer to the question “slips his mind.” Consequently he has the game of bluffing down to a science and it is rare, indeed, for a professor to trip him. He is also good at “rough-hous- ing study hall, as many people can testify, and he does much to relieve the monotony of school life.

JOHN COOPER GROOME, JR. ‘Coop.” ‘A living dead man.” Carlisle, Pa Reed Literary Society. “Coop Groome is above all things a student. You might think he never had an idea, but there is where he fools you. He is bright as a new coin and his keen sense of humor makes him an enjoyable companion. His achievements in the class room speak for themselves, for he is giving everyone a tight race for the valedictory. GEORGE WASHINGTON HAUCK. “Houckie.” “Right noble is thy merit.” Houckie is the man with “the-smile-that-won ' t-come-off.” If you catch him at the right time he reminds you of the proverbial school girl with her giggles. It seems that it is his am- bition to become the champion broad-grinner of the world. “Houckie” is a pianist of some note and himself has composed several pieces. The Class of 1909 bids Paderwiski look to his laurels. 22
