DALLAS H. JOHNSTON .... .... B ristol, PIL. MECHANICAL :-Senior Debating Society. Ah, 'wlz-31 should life all labor bcf' UDEACONH Johnston is assuredly white, and claiins to be no relation. The youth is possessed of a lingering disease, which has lengthened his stay at Drexel by a year. Yet there are few better students, and how such a sensible, clear thinking fellow could ever be tolerated as an assistant in the physics lab. is beyond us. He is a poetic subject, and on the day when some one bluncleredl' in the niech. lab. it was his part, not to reason why . . . but to do or die, and so when the Prony refused to be bridled, he nobly suffered. Such fortitude comes of being a niinister's son, and we suggest such a position as being a good one for a young nian to adopt-son-in-law, you know. 28

He thought he did, at any rate, but later found out that he had slipped up on a decimal point. Johnson is an ardent supporter of Teddy Roosevelt, and any noon may be found talking politics in the Senior locker room with Bill Seyffert. l Wfllenever you wish a job done in first-class style, you may be assured that Johnson can do it if anybody can. His persistence and grit have carried him through many problems, and nothing is ton big for him to tackle Knot even Vandyj. His favorite dish is work served on toast. Besides being a good worker, he is a jolly good fellow and possesses a host of friends. He is also very active in school organizations, and has done much to help them along. Q VVhen he first came here the Juniors wished to douse him in the M. E. lab. tank. Johnson, how- ever, showed those upper classmen where he came from, and soon had them onthe run. VV'e expect great things of Ernest Johnson in the engineering world. ' 27

BLYTHE G. JONES .... .. .Phoenixville Pa MECHANICAL :-Tau Rho Deltag Tennis Team 42, gpg Prophetg Record Staff. H So on the tip of his snbaluing tongue ,fill kinds of Cl1'g1H'11t3lIf.Y cmd questions 1'u1z.'i -'vv1NDv Behold the man who has all others beaten to a frazzle when it comes to the use and the abuse of the English language. jonesy has such a flow of words that it often breaks loose and floods us all. But what can We do to remedy it? Dam it? T-lydraulicaliy speaking, he can say less in more time when cornered in an argument than any man we know. We also said abuse and maintain that when Ionesy intlicts some of those Daffydils we certainly feel that we, at least, are abused, tofsay nothing of the language. ' - B. G. graduated from the Phoenixville High School with high honors. He next sought fame at Lehigh, but soon decided that his highly esthetic nature was not in the proper environment, so to Drexel he came. He is a real high-brow, a man of temperament. Nothing gives him more pleasure than to sit enraptured by some grand opera or the strains of an orchestra and later reproduce it in full for thc benefit of the gang in the locker room. He also has quite some literary ability, and has ,held the position of librarian in the Phoenixville Public Library. Apprehended as accomplice to the murder of Sweet Adeline during our Freshman year, he has been in Hagonyu ever since. Vile have all appreciated his services as official 'lBeancry messenger, and when all else has left us. we will still remember Ionesy of Horid face and carefully brushed hair, mincingly making his way up Chestnut Street, half hidden 'neath that little blue and yellow soft hat. 29
