We admire him for his Stick to-it-tiveness in class as well, as head of the Philobiblicum. Though things may have looked dark and dreary, it did not bother him in the least-he remained true to his studies. Walter also took great interest in arguing on questions of sociology. It is a beautiful necessity to love someone. — Reset. Doellie, the Lord Pro- tector of our college mascot, the Kater, and close rival of Charlie Chaplin, showed great ability as an actor and play director. Nothing ever went by Doellie without a thorough examination no matter what it was. (Even holding on the basket ball floor. ' ' ) Sapristi! how he made us drill in the gym class! No matter what he went into, he always strove to be first, there- by laying a good foundation for the future. ' But ' twas a maxim he had tried, that right was right, and there he would abide. How otherwise did Carl receive the nickname Buck, than by bucking all evils and principles, of which he was con- vinced ought to be exterminat- ed and defeated. Therefore, we always found him combating to overcome difficulties in our daily lessons. Oh my! how the Freshies feared the authori- ty shown hy Buck, during his reign ' as House-senior! Serene and resolute and still. Calm and sell-possessed. — Longfellow. Nothing could disturb the equanimity f f this good- natured yi ung man. His i|uiet, fricndl) ' ways made him a friend of all. He was a hard, conscientious worker and never gave up till lie had reached Iiis goal. Hank, isn ' t as easy as he looks, . fier he has once formed an opinion no one can induce him to change it, not even his brother, ' i ' liere is nothinu ' like lia ing a mind of (jur ■ um. 23

' ' 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

The more we do the more we can do; the more busy we are the more leisure we have. — Hazlitt. There aren ' t many activities that Tsisca didn ' t par- ticipate in. No matter how busy he was, he would always give you his assistance if it was in his power to do so. On the baseball field he was always the cackling bandy who would get the pitcher ' s goat long before the usual play ball was heard. Just a minute — we forgot to mention Arm ' s pipe, how could he live without it. i c ?nakes it solitude and calls it Peace. — Smith. Ossie, at one time close rival of our Snap-Shot Bill, also admired for his skill on the parallel bars, could often be found in the library,, digesting brain food from the works of Schiller and Kant. This fact partially accounts for his deep and lengthy Vortrags, with which he abused the patience of his class mates. Ih ' isa, juchheisa! Dicdcl- dumdei! Da geht ' s ha hoch her! bin auch dabei! — Schiller. Theo arrived in our midst two years ago, just escaping the fury of the European war. The fact that E. C. is not Co- ed is his greatest complaint. His mischievous smile always keeps us guessing what he is going to do next. Although he is the youngest in the class, he can compete with any. do not present you with a fnan oj mine Cufining m music and mathe- matics To instruct them fully in those sciences. — Shakespeare. Genes, belongs to our most notable group of pedagogs and is one of our foremo. t organists. How superbly he blends the tones of the mighty organ into one harmonious discord. Every one looks up to him as an all around good chap, and we wish him the utmost success in swinging the ferule and in life generallv. 24
