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

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

Paul is one of those quiet fellows who does not believe in telling all they know. Judging from his excellent grades we are positive that he thinks more than he talks. As an office clerk he was always on the job distributing bills. You have earned } ' Our reward, and if you will always be as sincere in your future work as you have been in your studies in Elmhurst you will have no trouble in getting along in life. ' Ambition is no cure for love. Space is too limited to tell what Fish is worth. The fact that he was appointed Editor in Chief of The Elms shows our appreciation of his worth. He always was a friend of the Freshies to whom he was always willing to lend a helping hand. His favorite amusement was an occasional bicycle ride to the neighboring village. Those who know him best love him best. — Anon. Paul spent a great deal of his time unearthing new plans, by which the welfare of the student body could be elevated. In the summer Paul spends his time patching holes in auto tires, but during the school year he devotes his leisure moments to repairing his torn socks, due to the long walks he and Shrimp take. Considering the regularity of weekly statements from the Hamilton Outfitting Company, he surely purchased some object by the installment plan, probably a t -pewritcr. Calm, cool, and collective, surely he will rise in the world. Otto, our California rep- resentative, was always in- dustrious and cheerful. Using a big word now and then is pleasure for him, cspccialh ' if no one understands it. He is not all seriousness, however, for he likes pleasure as well as work. Never would he refuse to meet anyone on the tennis court. Otto has a great future in store for hini.
