Several times he has starred as a mem- her of that melodious Uhrass quartet, which has frequentiy furnished us with such exquisite harmony. 112 intends to enter some technical school, and we wish him luck anihappincss in whatever he may Choose as his profession. HRH Walter Raymon Britland EP'J'EIVIBER 13, 1893 is famous because on S that day occurred the birth of this popular member of the Technical course. He grad- uated from the Davenport School, and entwreti, with the immortal Class of 19.12, in the fall 011908. Sinve then the honors conferred upon him have been almost too many to mention. HBritH is a member of the Delta Gamma Sigma Fraternity. and during the football season of 1911-1912, managed the Durfee team. for the creditable work of which he deserves much praise. 1:111de friends might suggest that YtiE-Iathgel' was not ovcr-studimls, but those who know him heat. cemplctcly overlook such criticisms. 'IBrit is aim famous; as a cmnediau, and scores many hits with his originai tPJ jokes. 111 this respect he is second only to one other member of our Class, whose name is too wcli-kuown to mention here. Although W'alter is as yet undecided where the pursuit of higher eriu tatiun will next lead him, his aim is to he an engineer, and we wish. him all success.
