Itchy came here an ideal- ist, to learn agriculture and display pitching ability as yet unseen in these parts. However, Miss Tulsa ' s winning of the . tlantic City Beauty Contest was too much for him and proved his ultimate downfall. Despite this publicity, modest Irwin displayed delicate wit and when he left us, to occupy the hospital, we keenly felt his absence. It is hard to forget the lay of his return which introduced a vogue rich in such Itchian phrases as go visit a herring! and kiss a lily . This Westerner made pleasant many of our dull classes and . . . . room sessions. H. RRY BRICK Brickie Philadelphia, Pa.

For three years Harry has dominated as a person of wit and humor, and, to quote that literary luminary, Sara . brams, he is ever wont to wax ludicrous . . s the Barometer predicts storms, so likewise Harry senses forthcoming disasters or festive occa- sions; and he always proved adequate to the situa- tion, which is no mean achievement in a school so susceptible to radical class demonstrations. In addition to powers of clairvoyancy Bricky wielded a wicked bat on the diamond, and as an infielder he passed both the ability and wit of Nick . ltrock. Brick will surely laugh liimself through anv latitude. 4 24 h-

The vast energj- not used on the A. . . field by this dynamic person found an outlet in the pea. Al is one of the blesse.l few versed in the lost art of letter writing. He wrote unceasingly, to whom and of what is none of our business. Suffice it to say the many replies were sealed in colorful envelopes of delicate fragrance.

The Metropolitan Grand Opera Company lost one of its possible greats when Joe chose agriculture as his life career. His resonant bass voice has been a constant source of gratification to his entranced classmates for three years. However, opera ' s lo.ss was agricultures gain. Joe might rank preeminent among the scientific farmers of our class. Compounding feed rations and solving intricate chemical formulas placed him in a position of undis- puted classroom authority. As a staunch advocate of chess and checkers for mental development, Joe ranks second only to Spielman. Such sterling virtues will surely be welcome in anv asricultural community. 23

We long wondered how Joe managed to attend details so religiously for three years, and it was only after appealing to his strong sense of public service that we succeeded in learning the secret of his 5 A. M. vigor. It is this little verse which has made Joe the man he is: My cheeks are of a ruddy hue My breath like new-mown clover, I always take my morning plunge And feel refreshed all over. Joe makes no claim to brilliance, yet by persistent apprehension and consistent application of a strong will power he has developed into a hard-working reliable son of the soil. Jersey City, N. J.

Senior Y ' ear: Horticultural Society. A tall lanky youth of many angles, not unlike Washington Irving ' s Ichabod, is Bill. A reserved youth as quiet as he is awkward, and as conscientious as he is angular. Bill is almost infallible. He was never absent from Chapel, his study periods held no vacancies, the demerit list never bore his name, he was rarely on the sick list, seldom absent from class, first man to pay Class dues, prompt at meetings; in fact it would be nearly impossible to name one act in which Bill erred. Bill has a genuine love of all flora and fauna and with such a valuable possession farm labor will be little more than play for him. ■4 25 h
