IRA ADDISON OTT. “Morpheus.” “One touch of (good) nature makes the whole world grin.” “The greatest invention ever perfected and never patented is sleep,” quoted Ott to Red- dig, his confidant, and Reddig answered, “That’s what I grew fat on.” Long on the drowse, Ott got wide enough awake the other day to corner the demerit market, taking in ten at one fell swoop. From this we predict for him a high seat in Wall street some near day, and we hope somebody will put a bent pin in the seat. He is a high light in Newville ' s Four Hun- dred; knows geometry and the corner pocket, and always wears a smile that is a sure cure for indigestion of the disposition. THEO. WALLACE O’BRIEN. “Theo.” Crisfield, Md. “An Irishman, a very valiant gentleman.” Reed Literary Soc ' ety, Business Board of Logbook. “Theo,” though very quiet and studious, is indeed, a favorite with the ladies. His dream- ing eyes and absent-mindedness are a sign that he is a victim of Daniel Cupid, Esq., and a cer- tain young lady. He is a worker and did a great deal in securing the school seal for us. 27

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.

Clearfield, Pa. ROBERT BRUCE PATERSON. “Patty.” “I perceive in your so excellent a touch of modesty.” Reed Literary Society, Secretary Athletic Association, Assistant Manager Baseball, ' 08, Business Manager Conwayan, Baseball Team. ’09, Basketball, ’09, Editorial Staff Logbook. “Patty” is, indeed, modest and retiring. Unless you know him pretty well it is heard to get a word out of him, for he firmly believes that “silence is golden.” A good athlete and and a hard student, he has won the esteem of the student body and we are sure that he will be just as great a favorite at Dickinson next year. MANSFIELD REDDIG. “Falstaff.” Mt. Holly, Pa. Here, joyful readers, is the gullible, affable, docile fat child from Mount Holly. He is a rotund monument of good breeding and good feeding, and weighs a near three hundred in his stocking feet. His fault is his good nature and his forte is his knowledge of math. Logar- ithms and theorems he devours like butter on Mother ' s pancakes and his love of numbers is substantiated in his own multiplied figure.
