CLIFFORD ROBBINS. . . .... Trenton, N. I. ELECTRICAL :-Senior Debating Society: Class Historiang Record Staitg Echo Staff. Man is made of solid stzf1jj'. I CTRENT!1 Some one has said, i'What good thing can come from Trenton P In Clifford we find the answer, for he is, along with other things, a brilliant mathematician. Vlfe hrst became aware of this during our first year together, when he was excused from part ofthe course. Robbins has somewhat of a destructive nature, he being in a great part the cause of Mr. Clinger getting a second consigne mentof lumber for the wood shop. He is somewhat of an athlete, having won distinction in our first bowl Hght by having his hands on the bowl when the count was made. judging from the pic- tures he shows us from time to time, he is also an ardent canoeist and lover of field and stream. As far as we know Robbins has only one fault: he, like all great thinkers, is absent-minded, XV hen in the laboratories he has fewer accidents than anyone else. Appreciation of his literary ability was shown by hisbeing chosen assistant editor of the school paper, the Echo Summing all up, his partner in the laboratories expressed the opinion of all of us when he simply stated, Robbins is all right. 32

LAXVRENCE MOODY .... .... I 'IZ1ClQlO1'llT1Glll, N. -l. ELECTRICAL :-Senior Debating Society. Butt 'tis the stnziiraclzk solid stroke Yhrii felis his bring -zu'11az .v 0'rZock. l .D .. g .D ICM-UD!! Moody is our star man from Jersey. He is not a very large chap, but has a brain that has Newton beaten to a frazzle. His favorite subject is A. C., and many are the queries he fires at Prof. Beaver. ' A T If you wish to see him in his best mood go into the Senior locker room at noon. There you will find him with the smile that won't come off. It only takes a nice apple pie to make him happy. It was reported that the Beanery was going to fail because of lack of trade. until our little Jerseyite came along to Drexel. His appetite for pie led him into the Beanery, which is now doing :1 profitable business. Little do they realize how much they owe to Moody. He is an exponent of the theory of least work, and has forced his way through Drexel with a minimum amount of labor. ' Our little Ierseyite is Wefl liked by every one and will no doubt be heard from in his chosen profession. . 1 SI

l EDXNIN ROBERTS .... ...Haddonheld, N. I, ELECTRICAL :-Senior Debating Society. rNE7'8l' trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. j DROWSY V This gallant youth would rather study A. C. than eat, and that is saying a great deal. He be- lieves that writing Lab- reports is foolishness, and so devised an automatic report Writer. VVe all wondered why he had such a cheerful smile, but tired look on Monday and Thursday mornings until our private sleuthv found that Eddie was the only man in the world for a sweet young Haddonfield girl. Eddie's star subject was Physics. He liked the lab. reports in Physics nearly as well as he did A. C. He startled the Profs. when he took the re-exam. by passing the quiz. As an all-round man he can't be beaten. He loves the electrical lab. and the sound of the break- ers. It reminds him so much of the seashore. 'His pet diversion is running, and rumor hath it he can run a mile in a minute on the rim of a Hy Wheel. That's going some, but if you wish to see him run just mention steam to him, 33
