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

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

T FRANK H. ROTHE. . . . . .Fi-azer. Pa. CIVIL I-FC1'lCl11g Class 53. 4D 5 A. A. Q43 3 Senior Debating Society. Tim 11 1,01'e of life I see The more it seems to mv That the lobster is the 'ZC'l'.YC guy after all. ,.- W I-IECKERH Here comes Rube Rothe, declaiming in an eloquent and most impressive manner his philoso- phy of life. The reason for this feeling may be that he has not had time to leave the farm and get a new aspect of life. NYe may be wrong in this, however, for how often have we heard of' those regal trips on the Pullman to Dixonville. Wfe are told his brother lives there, but there are others. According to all reports he surely can manage a farm and has there learned how to do everything from running a gas engine to building a barn. Rothe has an assortment of songs and ditti es which HE seems to enjoy very much. . At times, though, he can assume an air of great knowledge and importance that would command the respect of the wisest. This comes from spending four years at Drexel. While at Collegeville the Civils were most grateful to him for his lucid explanations of the work- ings of a solar attachment, notwithstanding the fact that it did not work. Rothe has a weakness for sour balls and loves to throw erasers and sundry other articles at people within and without the Senior drawing room. ' 34
