e ]6 1 in - - CHARLES YOUNG.— Gamma Sigma Tau. Every man is the architect of his own fortune. — Sallust. When, at the beginning of the school year, we look around for presidential possibilities, the big axe always falls upon Red. He unites several presi- dencies in his person. His popularity can be attri- buted to his adhering to good, sound principles. Everybody respected his wise leadership. Deprive him of everything — but leave him his Shakespeare. Red can quote his Ingersoll almost as well as the Bible. He was not easily susceptible to the caprices of the fair sex. nevertheless lie once-a-while was the recipient of epistles from Southern Indiana. For several years he has been running a hair-em and always has a full house on Saturday. THEODORE SCHLUNDT JR.— Phi Delta Alpha. He ivas a man of infinite jest. — Shakespeare. Here ' s Teddy Trombone in real life. Lawdy he sho kin slide. Sometimes sad. Sometimes glad. alas, la donna e mobile In Indiana there ' s a place that Teddy calls Kokomo; He oftens wonders why her Grace would have things so and so. Ted has become of late a humorist, but his jokes are of such depth and profundity, that he alone can grasp their real significance. He was extremely optimistic about the coal situation, for to him — the less the coal, the nearer the goal. Ted. beware the Ides of December. WALTER MORY.— Gamma Sigma Tau. Come forth into the light of things; Let Nature be your teacher. — Wordsworth. Swiggie hails from the mountains of old Ken- tucky and has brought with him all his love for nature. He was a sober man despite the fact that he boasts of having come into personal contact with the moonshiners. He adored Browning for saying, Try to be a Shakespeare, and leave the rest to Fate. In class he had few rivals and generally carried off first honors. We will always remember his work as editor of the 1919 Elms. Even tho ' he does come from the South, the North (Wis.) holds a peculiar charm for him. CARL SCHERZER.— Phi Delta Alpha. Every student dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. — . r. Beecher. Sherz was always in demand when artistic taste was involved. His ability in scenic productions was displayed in every college play. He was enrolled as a student of the Chicago Art Institute. Sherz was chairman of the Passah committee every Saturday night in suite 20. Ask Sherz if a know- ledge of self defense is an essential thing in teach- ing a class of thirteen year old lads in Sunday School. He was an industrious and energetic student and never knew what it was to give up. Twenty
