Waynesboro, Pa. CLARENCE MERLE SPANGLER. “Spang.” Your name is great in mouths.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, Reed Literary Society, Basketball Team, ’09. “Spang” is really the cutest thing imaginable. With lovely, Huffy, blond hair and cheeks of the rosiest hue, he cannot help attracting attention from passersby. He plays basketball and sleeps most of the time. Since he does not believe in letting study interfere with sleep, he often sleeps in class, especially in Virgil. We think that these are “beauty sleeps” though he has not told anyone so. GEORGE MORRIS STEESE. Mt. Holly Springs, Pa. “Youth is the bud of manhood.” Reed Literary Society, Sergeant-at-arms of Senior Class. If any of the day students ever get into any mischief, you may be sure George is at the bottom of it. He is a thorn in the side of every professor who tries to keep study hall in order and a tormentor of every fellow who thinks he can study while “doing time” in that respected institution. He is no more than mischievous, however, and though his temper is quick, his heart is large. 31

JAMES LOUIS ROSE. “Rosie.” Waterloo, Iowa. “A man that loves to hear himself talk and will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Football Team, 1908. He is the baby of our class. If he cannot have things his way he does not want them any other way. He has a bad case of “cephalo-genesis,” a disease which cannot be cured, until he has three times butted the wall and seen that the wall does not give way. We hope for this Rose, that he loses some of the unpleasant thorns that stick out from him at present. If only he does he will be a great deal more agreeable to the folk around him. JOSEPH CLEMENT SINCLAIR. “St. Peter.” Baltimore, Md. I had rather seal my lips than speak that which is not. “St. Peter” as usual has charge of the “gate,” or in other words the front door, and many are the tales he could tell of the late comers, but he won’t tell. Although he is a good student in every branch, he simply loves Algebra. He is deeply religious and we think he is making no mistake in studying for the ministry. 30

JOHN CHARLES THOMAS. “Tom.” “I heard thee speak me a speech once, and it was acted.” Tom ' ' is a happy-go-lucky fellow who would surely make a hit in vaudeville. He is a sure cure for the blues when he feels well and if he cannot make you laugh until you cry there is something wrong somewhere. He has plenty of sense despite his favorite expression, “Gee, it’s great to be crazy. ” HARRY JOHNSON WHITEMAN. “Whitie.” Latrobe, Pa. O that I had a title good enough to keep his name company.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Associate Editor of Conwayan, Student Senate, Man- ager Track Team, ’09, Prophet of the Senior Class, Business Staff of Logbook. h 1 tie was not one who could enter into athletics, but he was only too glad to do his part on the Logbook and Conwayan Boards. Since he left us we have often missed him and his spirit. He was the friend of everyone and had a heart so large that it filled his whole body. 32
