1 i A VVALTER G. BURROVVS. . . .... Philadelphia, Pa MECHANICAL I-D. C. E. C2, 31, Vice President A. A. Secretary Qgjg Record Staff. r Thou wilt qzmwel with- a mcm for eraeleiifzg nuts, lzcztdrzg 710 other reason but because thou hast l1a.z'el eyes. V 1 SATAN A Burrows is such an sober subject that the reader had better have to hand a blotter. Wlhether his melancholy is born of his years or of thoughts ot that mysterious one whom we have never seen is an unfathomable problem. VVe advise the boy to do it soon and get over it. As a student Burrows is par excellent, and when stuck he executes such peculiar acrobatics to reach a solution that many a time Prof. Starkey has given him a IO out of sheer pity. Ever mysterious, he remains silent as to the cause of those monthly trips to Oaks. lt savors of a double life. Rumor has it that Burrows was involved in that little Y. M. C.

Such hair does not become him, be- cause he is very mild-tempered. Torchyy' is a card shark of the first water. He has already planned to be a trans-Atlantic sharper, but late events may change his intention. Applegate's singing is of a 'true Methodist origin, and annually at Pitman Grove he receives train- mg. W'e prophesy that in the future he will marry a chorus girl and then go deadhead to all the hur- lesque shows.

lgl. PA UL BURTIS .... . . . Burlington, - ClVlL Z--CJ1'Cl'lCSl1'?J. Qi, 2, gjg Glee Club Q2j5 Senior Debating Society. There is music 7c'1101'c'z'c1' tlzcre is lw1'm01'zy. ' HBRUTUSH A musician. H it were not for B. Paul and his clarinet the orchestra would surely be in a hole. His seconds and runs make your hair stand on end. He is also an agony fiend, and can accom- modate you with a whisky tenor or a basso profuitdo, excelling in the latter, however. Though not listed above, he is a member in good standing of the Bean Drinkers Club, and the High Brow League. Vlfith Jones and Thorn, of the latter, he occasionally takes in a little grand opera at 31.00 per by special arrangement, or an orchestra concert at 25 cents per, not by special arrange- inent Paul is very proud of his pompadour, for it furnishes him with an entre into the society of the opposite sex. Wfe fear that he is a bit nckle, however. When you see him making for you with that Burlington stride of his C4 feet 6M inches by actual measurenientj you may be sure he either can't see why or else wants you to take a trip to Hansconfs and the movies. ' A man, though known for the ground area his feet cover, has a heart as big as his feet. 22
