This studious little chap, quiet, conscientious and sober as he is, was indeed ambitious? Dangerous! oh my! he was afraid of no one, on the foot ball field. No matter how tall or powerfu l his opponent, Paul would always put up a bold bluff. Students in years to come will be inquisitive to know who the mischievous fellow was, who carved his trade mark HND in every nook and corner. .-Itnbition is the growth from ivhich all growth of knowledge proceeds. — . D. English Art would often visit the German bunch in the music house, where they would con- verse in the German language, choosing for their topic either war or the German Spirit. Art was a good student and interested in all undertakings of the class. We expect Art to make good in whatever he undertakes. ,- face that cannot smile is never good. — Child. Did you ever see Ed without a smile.? Shrimp as he was often called is always in for a good time, especially if baked Ijeans are to be served. His ability to play the violin is great. The soft strains pro- duced by his master hand seem to transfer us into unknown regions. Ed is always in a good frame of mind and keeps all around in good humor by his witty remarks and marvel- ous imagination. Every man, who observes vigilantly and resolves stead- fastly, grows unconsciously into a genius. Emil did not rush to the front ranks at ever) ' occasion. He willingly let others speak when the ' chose. If, howc er, they failed to do so, Emil was always ready to fill the vacancy that is, to help. Rather un- known to the public he was one of our most true, kind and iiitiniaU- friends. 27

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

The most serious discussion he would often interrupt with a witty or most naive sugges- tion or a high pitched sneeze. He acquired the talent of being witty despite the fact that he always upheld the negative in the proverb. Early to bed and early to rise etc. His good health was shown by his optimistic, lively and good-natured spirit. a word be worth a shekel, silence is worth two. — Hale. If this be true, Karl has earned many a shekel for himself. He was ordinarily reserved, minded his own business, and won the respect and love of all thru his honest, I ' pen ways and big-hearted- ness. Nevertheless he was a dangerous opponent on the tennis court. Music is the fourth great material want of our nature — first food, then raiment, then shelter, then music. — Boves. Fizzles, our unsurpassed master on the flute with which lie played a prominent part in the octette, when living in higher realms of classical music, had no use for the vanities of common life. He was a dis- tinguished figure on the musical program. Nevertheless he was prominent as philosophical, jawbreakeragical, hyperbolical impersonator amongst a merry crowd of students. ' And still they gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head could compass all he knew. — Golds7nith. Alohme is one of those all around good fellows. He spent I inly two years in E. C, but in this short time he won the admiration of us all. Quiet, Pflichttreu, ambitious are the adjectives which describe Erwin. Since he will not be with us next year in the seminary, we wish him great success in the Universit}
