FRANKLIN CLYDE HUMBERT. “Johnnie Bull.” Carlisle, Pa. “He hears merry tales, and smiles not.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Editor-in-chief of Conwayan, Student Senate, Editorial Staff of Logbook. ' Johnnie Bull was so named because it is practically impossible for him to figure out a joke in time to laugh with the others. His room-mate says he is so English that occasionally he even talks English. He is thinking of taking Prof. Kline’s place next year as instructor of “Physics.” ANDREW ROSS HUMMELL. “Baron.” The Baron is one of our exotic blossoms who thinks in German and speaks in English. Sartorially he is a continuous Fourth of July and his sox and ties make an echo that out- rackets the Anvil chorus. He has a few gray hairs from long sojourn in Cicero class, but to intimates he has confided that he hopes to “ride it off this year. We hope his hopes are realized. 24

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

Altoona, Pa. HORACE LINCOLN JACOBS, JR. “Jake.” “A braver soldier never couched lance, A gentler heart did never sway in court.” Upsilon Gamma Sigma Fraternity, President of Reed Literary Society, Associate Editor Conwayan, Student Senate, Editorial Staff of Logbook. Jake is one of the best fellows in the world. He is always ready to help a fellow out of a scrape, ready to give you his time, ready in any way to make himself useful. He is a frequent visitor at Penn Hall, and it is rumored that one night during leap year he received four different proposals! And yet we all agree that it is no wonder. BURNETT OLCOTT McANNEY. “Bo.” New York City. President of Reed Literary Society, Assistant Manager of Football, Associate Editor of Conwayan, Editor-in-Chief of Logbook. Presenter of the Senior Class, Student Senate. Here he is ungentle reader; the umpire, who has passed judgment on the year’s game at Conway. Brickbats and boquets are now in order, so heave away. The evil that the average editor does, lives after him, but here is the glistening exception. He did so much work for the book that he was unable to write this, his own obituary, and when the same piece of work was turned over to the rest of the board they found that neither time nor space would admit of a cataloguing of “Bo’s” virtues. He’s a gentleman, that says a lot; he’s a good fellow, that says more; he’s made of stuff that wears well, and is true blue throughout. That’s Bo. 25
