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

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. JOHN VINTON McINTIRE. “Johnnie.” “Second to none that lives here in the city.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society. From a mischievous small boy. “Johnnie” lias developed into quite a studious young man. It is said by some, that he knows enough Greek to teach— kindergarten. But when it comes to Virgil and Mythology, lie’s there with bells on. He expects to enter Dickinson in the fall and we know he will “do us proud.” ACTON J. W. MOWATT. “Murphy.” Dublin, Ireland. “It’s the world am like a drop of water, That in the ocean seeks another drop.” Associate editor of Conwayan, President of Y. M. C. A., Covenant Society, Editor of Y. M. C. A. Handbook, Historian of Class of 1909 as Junior, Student Senate. “Murphy” is. indeed, a rare spirit and the man that he speaks to can feel himself highly honored. It is quite evident that he is “seeking another drop” and also who that “drop ' is. It took him a long tune to decide to join us and we cannot but feel favored to think he is will- ing to associate with us. We wish he was twins so we would have more of him.
