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.

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

On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting, Twas only when he was of, he was acting. — Goldsmith Nothing could prevent Tiedie from acting natural when on the stage, even tho it came to love-making, only his daily task could make him act. His capability of hand- ling money made him a very conscientious and prudent class treasurer and laundr}- collector. Tho an ardent admirer of Rag time, he always dis- played great talent in classical selections. The bed has become a place oj luxury for me, I would not change it for all the thrones in the world. ' — Napoleon I. We should judge that the midnight oil in Bill ' s lamp was frequently burned quite low, owing to the vast amount of work piled on the staff cartoon- ist. Nevertheless his work on the staff did not interfere with his studies. His grades remained the same. Bill doesn ' t need a writeup, we all know what a good chap he is, so let ' s pass on. Za spaet gelacht. — Bauer. Jack, modern Don Juan among the ladies, and pro- prietor of the smokehouse No. 20 in the administration build- ing, was indeed a bona fide fellow, unvexed with quarrels, undisturbed by noise. The ring of his jolly laugh could be heard in the class rooms long after every one had ceased laughing. We will always re- member John by his ' ' Volks- rede in the Latin hour. At a good bargain pause and ponder. ' — Span ish Ma.xim . Judy, a curly-headed, blue eyed lad, could always be recog- nized by his effeminate steps long before he entered one ' s study room, to offer some novelt)- for sale. George would always retire earh in the evening and arise at four in order to be prepared in all his studies. Why he wouldn ' t study in the evening is a mystery to us all. Photo- graphy he has long ago put on the shelf, but he still adheres to his violin and cornet, much to the irritation of his neighbors. 26
