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

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.

CIVIL :-M. A. Ioio Classg D. C. E. C33 3 Senior Debating Society. fl man nf fvlcnszzrrf ix n man of fvaifzsf' LlDOCv1 Doc is one of the kind that can only do a thing in the neatest possible manner. His drawings andnotes are never o'erclouded with soft pencil smudges, and his traeings are always nicely rolled and slipped into a pasteboard tube. .s A more obliging man you would never meet Knot once has he complained that his pencil sharp- ener was being overworkedj. This trait has probably won for him the warm regard of the one and only girl of whom we have heard. , The theatre and literary pursuits take up most of Does spare time. His taste in the latter ranges from The Condition of Roman Society at the time of Marcus Aureliusuto Barrack Room Ballads. Doc is a stickler for things proper. No doubt he would have appeared at the Collegeville Fire- man's Ball last summer in evening clothes and a plug hat with the wall-paper hangers fair daughter had not restraining inlluences been brought to bear. ' XVhenever you want to know how they do things on the railroad or in the steel industry ask Doc. He or one of his family will surely know. So, here's to Doc. A hail fellow. well met. 73 CHARLES RUTTER CAMPBELL .... .... P ottstown, Pa
