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.

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

EDWARD EUGENE REINDOLLAR. “Reinie.” Taneytown, Md. “I am a man inclined to thrift.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, Sergeant-at-arms Reed Literary Society. “Reinie” is indeed thrifty, but he is shockingly prodigal when there is a stunt at Irving College, where he is a great favorite — with the President. He is a “shock” in mathematics, but despite that shortcoming he is a mighty nice fellow. He is going to be a business man. GRAYDON MUNDORF ROBINSON. “Bob.” Reynoldsville, Pa. There is written in your brow honesty and constancy.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Gamma Epsilon Debating Team, Orator of Senior Class. “Bob” did not enter Conway until he was sure of a bed large enough to sleep in, and in that he has to double up like a jack-knife. His head persists in testing the strength of the tops of the doors. He says he isn ' t seven feet tall, though it seem he doth bestride the nar- row world like a colossus.” “Bob is on the whole a very good fellow, though he is an ample home-wrecker, and has loosened the ties of several loving hearts. 29
