VVILLIAM 1. SEYFFERT. . . . . .Germantown, Pa. MECHANICAL 1-D. C. E., Baseball C2, 32 Captain g Senior Debating Society. Oh, Zvedf. .Ol1,, bed, delicious bed! I That Ima-win upon eczvrtlt to the weary headf' IABILI-'13 I Though we have never found out where Seyffert lives, we imagine that it is a place where the trains always leave ten minutes late. Also associate the smell of rubber with the town and one has a working basis. . Seyffertis legal wife is Lewis, but the cause of his attention to Lewis is the girl next door, K'Bill, modeling after the great Roosevelt, took a hunting excursion into Jersey, with Applegate as guide. On his return he showed us photographs of a deer Cdearj belonging to the Applegate estate, Since the excursion Torchy refuses to associate with him. r Bill surely enjoys auto races. For particulars see Prof. Starkey, and his greatest achievement, besides shutting out George School, was getting those three reinstatements. e

XNTLLTAM C. SCQTT. . . .... l71'z111kfo1'd, Pa AELECTRICAL. y Silently he 'walks berzecztlzi our portals, Scozvzfzzlly lie' looks Lllhflll ns 11w1'tals. 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

I FRANK D. STEER. .. ...Lausdaia Pa. CIVIL. Mcz1'riczge is a mminrg tlzirzgf' l S 'QIOINERH Here we- have a man of the world. Iiner Steer has been most everything, from an insurance solicitor to head clerk on a big railroad. He also studied mechanical engineering at Drexel several years ago. S' Steer didnlt look -like this picture when he first loomed on our horizon at the beginning of the Junior year. No! no! The rather promising mustache was absentg but he joined the Bean Drinkers' Club, and so, we imagine, he thought that soup-sifters would be a distinct advantage. . This is but one of the many clubs and lodges in which Winer Steer figures prominently. How he manages to lead poor, unsuspecting creatures across the hot sands, attend banquets, etc., etc., and still attend to school and domestic affairs is more than we can fathom. He is the other married man in our class. Mrs. Steer must be a most devoted and obliging wife. for , j'iner hands in typewritten reports and is a Notary Public. Steer can talk the fastest and keep the neatest held book. - VVe value him highly as one who can foretell our difficulties. He also serves as a sort of safety valve on the over-exuberant spirits of the Senior Civils. V 37'
