Theoi ' hii, Mkhi. Sec ' y. Class, ' 19; Football, ' 16, ' 17, ' 18; Bas- ketball, ' 18, Mgr., ' 19; Treas. Y. M. C. A. ' 18, ' 19; Student Council. ' ■Exhausting thought and hiving tcisdom vdth each studious year. — Byron. Theo was always In demand where level- headed thinking was needed. He was never satisfied with the superficial explanation of a professor, everything had to be explained in the minutest detail much to our joy, be- cause we all took a snooze when this was done. His heart certainly was in the right place and we all liked him. The 1919 bas- ketball team showed his ability as basket- ball manager, and he was a fine foot ball player. Roy Muelleu Octette, ' 18, ' 19; Orchestra, 18, ' 19; Mission Society Cabinet. am sure. Care ' s an enemij to life. — Shakespeare. Altho Roy liked to have a good time occas- sionally, he was a faithful student and an ardent Mission supporter. We admired him for his courage in standing up for his con- victions especially in meetings. He was a good first violinist in both the Octette and the College Orchestra. Victor Nkwm. .v. Shorty Physical Instructor, ' 18; Football, ' 17, ' 18; Capt. ' 18: Pres. Schiller T.iterary Society, ' 18, 19; Bus Men ' s Club: William Tell. The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it. — Emerson. At sunrise every morning. Shorty could be seen hoisting Old Glory to the top of the flag pole. As President of the Schiller Society he contributed much to its success. He deserevs credit for the way in which he performed his duty as football captain. Shorty smoked according to the mail schedule — there was a reason. We wonder where he left his moustache when he had this picture taken. Louis Oe.stkeichei!. Oesty ' ' Who climbs the grnvimer-tree. distimthi knows. Where noun and verb and partidplr grows. Oesty believed in letting George do it when it came to talking, but he preferred to do his own thinking. When we wish to know the meaning of some big word, we ran to Louis — he always knew. He was also a bright-light when it came to Latin. We never will forget him. as he was an all- around good hearted fellow and easy to get along with. •1 , 1 O

Paul Kxtcker. John Brown Oratorical Contest, ' IS; Fin. Sec ' y. Schillor Society, ' 19; Orchestra, ' 19; William Tell; Class Poet. ' ■The7-e is a pleasure in poetir pains which only poets knotv. — Cowper. AH Hail! Our Class poet. Who ' d ever thunk it, that .Jim Crow would ever acquire such glory! Never-the-less he did, which is much to his credit. Long will he be remembered by the wierd chords he produced when he became excited at the organ. Enwi.v Koch, Ed Pres. Mission Society, ' 18, ' 19; Librarian, ■16, ' 17, ' 18, ' 19; Band, ' 17, ' 18, ' 19; Football. ' It;, ' 17, ' 18; Baseball, ' 17, ' 18, ' 19. That all-softening, overpowering knell. The tocsin of the soul — the dinner bell. — Anon. What ' s the idea? When Ed didn ' t quite get the drift of some proceeding, this was his invariable question. Ed always liked to hear the merry peal of the dinner bell. Altho he did like to eat, he liked arguing and con- ducting Mission meetings better. Many a football opponent found that Ed was a hard man to rush. Ervix Koch, Erv Class Hist., ' 17; Yell Master, A.A., ' 18, ' 19; Orchestra, ' 18, ' 19; Brass Quartette, ' 18, ' 19; Sec ' y. Y. M. C. A., ' 18; President, ' 18, ' 19; Ass ' t. Editor, Elms; Octette, ' 19; Wil- liam Tell. Untwisting all the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony. — Milton. It ' s Tuesday! When Erv. let out this yodel he acted more like a butterfly than a Y. M. C. A. President. He could never decide whether he wanted to be a musician or work for the St. Paul Gas Company to pay for baby ' s shoes. Erv. was also an opera- fiend, but this fault was over-looked by his patient room mates, for he was a good sport at all times. Ei)WAi;i) KowiTZ, Coder Football, ' 17, ' 18; Band, ' 17; Basketball Referee, ' 19; College Xotes Editor, ' 18, ' 19; Bus. Men ' s Club; Our .lim. I ' ll try anything once. — Himself. Hey Guys, waltz the broom around the room a little, the girls are coming out Sun- day! In this respect at least Coder was very particular. He wasn ' t quite so partic- ular with his voice. His fairness in render- ing decisions and his sharp eyes made him an A N ' o. 1 Basketball referee. Coder was one of the best goal keepers in Football that Elmhurst has seen for a long time. Pagr 16

Louis Pin( keht. Pinkie Speech is better than silence; silence is better than speech. — Emerson. Pinkie and Inkie came from the same town, and were room mates. Pinkie ' s greatest de- ligtit was writing over-due compos, and re- decorating Room 314. He was one of our left-handed stellars of the diamond, where he covered the first sack. We often won- dered what made Bensenville so attractive to him. Some of us had a faint idea. Hem!Y Rku scii.nkider, Hank Band, ' 18, ' 19; Orchestra, ' 18, ' 19; Y. C. A. Cabinet, 18, ' 19. ' •Arrows of satire, feathered with icit. and wielded with sense, fly home to their mark. — Simmons. Another deep thinker! Hank was very much interested in intricate theological questions and he certainly has a bright future before him as a minister. We expect him to be a satirical writer some day judg- ing from the caustic remarks he lets loose occasionally. He also tried his hand at violin playing, short-hand, and the Parlez vous Francais stuff at times. Caul Scherzek, Swiggy Orchestra, ' 18, ' 19; Art Editor of The Elms. Speech is great, hut silence is greater. — Carlyle. Aha! the artist! Swiggie ' s favorite hobby was painting scenery and pictures of pretty girls. By force of habit be corresponded with a number of the fair sex, altho he never worried much about them. Neatness was his policy. Swiggy was the youngest in the Class, consequently . .John Sch.neideis Olympic, ' 15, ' 16; Beta, ' 16, ' 17, ' 18; Physical Instructor ' 17, ' 18; Football, ' 18; Philobibli- cum, ' 18. Short and stout, and round about, and happii (IS could be. — Anon. .John comes from the big city, and he liked to go home often to avoid the dry Elmhurst, Sunday afternoons. .John might have been small, but his ambition was great. He was a good half-back on the football field. His special pride was the stiffness of his beard, and anyone who came in contact with his face would readily admit that it was stiff.
