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

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

I' WARREN LEWIS .... Philadelphia, Pa. MECHANICAL 1-D. C, E. C355 Senior Debating Society, Baseball Qgj. fl merry heart maketh a cheerful C0H7 Zf5HCl'l'LL'6.U ssRUNTa: Lewis is a succession of surprises, he having successively smoked, cussed chewed fthe ragj, gambled, flossed around in the corridors, and been generally naughty. This worries Seyffert greatly. Lewis' love for leisure so far got the better of him that he conceived a plan to get an hour off in mechanical laboratory by taking a course in electric bells for two years, thus getting in a good hour's sleep every week. ' A From the tunes that Lewis whistles, and the Park knowledge he expounds, we deduce that he is one of those night-blooming plants that haunt the Park limits in twos all summer long. Q There is a little light-haired girl in this. Now, Lewis, don't deny it, for we saw you, so we did. 30 Q
