HERMAN AHRENS— 1894 Philobiblicum, 16. 17, 18. Class Senior. 18, 19, ' 20. North Illinois District prize, 1919. 0 there has been much throwing about of brains. — Shakespeare. Without a doubt, Herman is one of the most brilliant scholars and also one of the most con- scientious students at Elmhurst. What Herman did not remember, was not worth j-emembering. His only vice was playing ' Rook, ' and his face was a study in psychology when he held a hand like a foot. ' We imagine that Herman holds other than rook hands when he is at home. MICHAEL BAAS, JR.— ' Mike, 1901 Brotherhood Council, treasurer, ' 20. Qass treas- urer, 19, ' 20. Class Yell Master. 17, ' 18, 19, ' 20. Band, ' 17, ' 18, ' 19, ' 20. ' ' There are more things between heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. — Shakespeare. We have traveled far, and we have traveled wide, but we have never met a more sophisticated thinker than Mike. After a discourse with him, one would believe in the theory of evolution, partly because Mike did, and partly because one believed that he had found the missing link. On the whole, though, Mike was a good student, and to quote him. he could be the shiner of the class if he only would decide to study. Give Mike credit for a wonderful memory. PAUL BLAUFUSS— Blue-foot, 1901 Orpheus, 17, ' 18, 19, ' 20. Orchestra. 17, ' 18, 19, ' 20. Wilhelm Tell. SchiUer treasurer, 19, 20. Or- ganist, 19, 20. He is far gone, far gone; and truly in my youth I suffered much extremity for love; very near this. — Shakespeare. PauFs complacency was a continual source of wonder to us. He made an excellent soldier in the Wilhelm Tell play, and, without a doubt, he will be a professor of economics or psychology in some university. Judging from the number of letters that Bluefoot receives, he must have made a hit in a certain Indiana town. HERMAN G. BORNE— 1900 Orpheus, ' 20. Religion is the best armor that a man can have. — Banyan. Behold the gentleman from Syracuse. Although he was only with us for one year, his Christian spirit and friendliness towards others have helped him in winning the friendship of many. His method of ex- pression was always clear and to the point. He was great at telling stories relating to Syracuse. He has the honor of being the only student at Elmhurst who was in the S. A. T. C. Here s to his success. Tiventy-si.x.

KARL BOHNENKAMPER— Bohne, 1899 Bid the players make haste — will you too help hasten them? — Shakespeare. When Karl had a smile on his face, one knew he was either thinking of that good ' ' Rook hand he was going to hold or contemplating setting someone. Although Karl has been with us only a short time, it did not take him long to get ac- quainted. He was somewhat handicapped by his late start, but his tenacity soon brought him to the limelight. Truthfulness and sense of duty are his chief characteristics. We wish him success in all his undertakings. JOHN BOLLENS— Jack, 1901 Phi Delta Alpha. Football, 17, 18, capt. ' 19. Basketball, ' 18, capt. ' 19, ' 20. Baseball, 18, cap. 19, manager ' 20. Track. ' 19, ' 20. Band, ' 15 to 19. Brass Quartette, 18. Supervisor of tennis, ' 18. Business Manager A. A., ' 19. What was I about to say? By the mass, 1 was about to say somethings — Where did I leave off? — Shakespeare. Jack was a good talker as long as he did not get excited. Give him time, and he can convey his thoughts. We shall always remember Jack for his athletic activities. The way he could cover first base was a wonder. Without a doubt, he is the best initial sacker that Elrohurst has ever had. Jack was a good all round athlete and is the proud wearer of an E in every sport. WALTER DIPPOLD— 1899 Organist, ' 19. ' 20. It is in learning music that many youthjul hearts learn to love. — Ricard. Walter is a good friend if one really knows him. He was always a willing worker at every task. His love for music caused him to be on the organ bench during much of his free time. We hope, because of his perseverance, that some day his dreams will come true. GLENWOOD ENGELBRECHT- Gleniiv. 1 m) Business Men ' s Club. ' 18. 19. Care adds a nail to the coffin, no doubt, and every grin so merry draws one out. — Wolcot. Did you ever see him without that winsome liitii smile on his lips? It has paved the way for him into the affections of his classmates — and certain fair ones of the Elmhursi populace. But unc t any Freshman whose indiscretion allowed liirn In play the piano under Glenny s room iiefore !i . M. Tucnty-seicn
