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

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

LONG To1v1f' f Hows the weatherup there ? - This is the greeting that is asked of Scott now and then. Scott is a big man, mentally as well as physically. 1 Having' completed the M. E. course he decided to stay with us and complete the E. F.. course. 1 Great', Scott is the name by which we know him best. He is a handy man to have around the house to hang pictures. He does feel the cold wind when it blows, however. His pet hobby is teaching. Nothing gives hiin greater pleasure than to teach the night student: Wfhen it comes to gas and gas engines he is u ithout a peer. QThis doesn't even exclude jones? They say he was the inventorof the Scott transformer. That is our chief grudge against him, for if he hadnt invented it we wouldn't have to study it Q-meaning by we the Electricalsj. lVe predict a great future for this man Scott. '- . 35
