Jimmy appreciates beautiful things, especially that located in the office. Our official diplomat, ambassador- at-large, or what have you, he also devoted a great bit of his time to exhibitions of gallantry to the fairer sex that would make an effervescent French courtier blush with shame.

Another one of those inseparable pairs, Trach and Jennings. Trach was the tall, blond half, but in spite of his eye-appeal, he never bothered with the fairer sex.

When grad- uation time rolls around. Bud will also graduate from the National Radio Institute, the source of his avocation, radio. Thanks to him, there are more radios tuned in to Benny Goodman than ever before, not because he talked up Goodman, but because he kept the radio sets working.

A modern Gabriel midst a garden of beautiful flowers. ; Class Footbnll, 2 ; ; Class Treasurer. 3. Silent and unobtrusive, Casey was right there, ready to lend a hand when there was work to be done. His supreme enjoyment was in working down at the green- house among his beloved plants; he seems destined tc follow in Burbank ' s footsteps. His only vice, dangerous as it was, consisted of blowing into that baritone horn of his, though they say that practice makes perfect. FRANK E.

He was an exponent of the devil-may-care school of life and slept his way through most of it. A familiar picture of him smoking that over-worked briar and thumbing his devious way towards Montgomery- ville will not be forgotten. Poor Willie had the mis- fortune to attend a class meeting once, and awakened to discover that he had been elected class president. We hope this streak of ill luck does not pursue him in later life.
