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

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

Carlisle, Pa. JOSEPH ZEIGLER HERTZLER. “Hertz.” “A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” Football Team, ' 08. His hobby is horses, and what he cannot tell you about them is hardly worth knowing. “Hertz” has been called the “matrimonial bureau” because of very efficient service rendered during the year, and his greatest ambition is to see all Conwayans safely married and settled in Carlisle. He is famous as a “promiscuous lady fusser” and that is also his hobby. HOMER CECIL HOLLAND. “Young, strong and of good friends.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity , Reed Literary Society. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Business Staff of Logbook. At first it was thought that he was studying for the ministry but in fact he has not decided just what he will be. In the two years he has been here he has made many friends and though very quiet he enjoys a little roughhousing at times. 23
