' A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full descrip- tion of a happy slate in this world. — Locke. Bill ' s cheerful hello ac- companied by a smile always told of his goodnatured dis- position. His healthy ap- pearance is the result of con- tinuous physical exercise. Bill was an active sportsman, but at the same time conscientious in his studies. (■ has moved a little to the master of all music. — Longfellow. Len, could play anything from a Jew ' s harp up to a pipe organ, but we will remember him by hi s ability to play the trombone and piano. He has certainly been of value to us when it came to furnishing music for the college in general. Although he spent considerable amount of time on music, nevertheless he did not neglect his other lessons altogether. ' The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure and pleasure my business. ' Clydie, ' please tell us your secret of happiness. You are surely a cure for the blues. When he wants to, he can stud) ' . This he has proven to us by the vast amount of German he has stored up since he entered E.C. If anyone deserves the nickname Pest it is Clyde. We feel sure when Clyde decides to settle down he will carve his name in the Hall of Fame. ; ;.f excellent to have a giant ' s strength. Measure jor measure.

Frank, as president of the class of 1916, was not spared the trials and troubles of that responsible and worthy position. With face flushed to the color of his sandy hair, he would always defend the rights of his class. Although Frank was full of foolishness and fun, he could be very serious and conscientious. Especially did he look serious when standing in front of the Orpheus with his magic wand in his hand. The class wishes our president success.

' ' For a man seldom thinks with more ear7iestn -ss oj any- thing than he does oj his dinner Sam. Johnson. Although Jeff is the largest, stoutest man in the class he is far from the clumsi- est. Even in the gym hour he displayed a considerable amount of grace. Oh my! Oh my! when Jeff threw the hammer at a track meet we all held our breath, wondering if it would ever step. We often wondered why Jeff is so much fatter than his brother. If you want to know the reason why, ask Armin. Spiritual force is strohiger than material; Thoughts rule the world. — Fischer. If thoughts rule the world, Fritz has a great future before him. For from his mouth and pen came deeper thoughts, rhetorical in style, than we could often grasp. Despite his grave appearance when he meant business, either on the football field, or in the class rooms, or elsewhere, he was always full of life, especially when acting on the stage. is difficult to esteem a man as highly as he would wish. — Vauvenargues. Well boys, what will you smoke.? These were the first words ) ' 0U would hear when entering Big Cotton ' s abode. If one would sta}- there any length of time, one would sure be wrapped up in one of the three arguments, baseball, war, or the girl question. In baseball he was well versed, being known as the Big outfield Sewer. He claimed to know all about the Girl Question although he was never seen with any member of the fair se.x. Something wrong somewhere, Cotton ! Look here upon this picture and then on this. — Shakespeare. Bill, our college photo- grapher, displaj ' ed great skill and patience in taking group and individual pictures of the students, but for some un- known reason he was rather reluctant to expose his own handsome face to the camera ' s wink. In Soccer, his favorite sport, he was a dangerous opponent of all dirty work, taking to other means than mere words in defending his views. 22
