RALPH ABELE— Ralph. dare do all that becomes a man, who dares do more is none. — Anon. Ralph ' s congenial and amiable disposition, coupled with his occasional outbursts of jollity, gives evidence of his genuine chari.cter. His sincerity and thoroughness were not confined to classroom work, for under him as president of the Y. M. C. A. the society enjoyed a period of unique prosperity. JOHN FLUCKE— John. I court the favor of no one and fear coridevmation of none. — Anon. Behold a man who, possessing the sti ' ength of his convictions, goes forth to triumph and then succeeds (e. g., Elm Bark ). An indisputable debater is John, as any of his opponents will admit. Genuine ti-ue-blue character and friendly demeanor have won our highest esteem for him. ARTHUR GERHOLD— Arthur. The man with an idea has ever changed the face of the ivorld. — H. C. King. Perhaps Arthur is too modest to proclaim his allegiance to the Platonic school, but that ' s where we ' ll put him. We admire him because he stuck to what he thought was right. He ranked high as a student and was especially fond of mak- ing extemporaneous German speeches.

LUDWIG EMIGHOLZ— Emmy. envy the man who has ivork worth doing, and does it well. — T. R If study is work, then Emmy is engaged in a work which he has mastered. He attacks his work like a man, for he isn ' t nearly as feminine in his makeup as the success with which he filled the feminine rolls in the college plays seems to indicate. ELMER HOEFER— Elmer. That fellow seems to possess but one idea and that is constaricy to his aims. — A non. Elmer cleans up a butcher shop during his afternoons and evenings. Both the shop and his studies are attacked with the same determination. We will always remember him how he looks while wielding the baton, directing the Orpheus. WALTER VOGELMAN— Walt. A deep, genuine, heartfelt sincerity is a trait of true and noble manhood. — Dubay. Walter, imbued with the spirit of sincerity and earnestness, entered into class and school activities with much enthusiasm. His good nature speaks through his ready smile, which has helped in winning, for him, many friends. EWALD SCHWENGEL— Ewald. He hath a heart as sound as a bell and his tongve is the clapper, for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks — Mitch Ado About Nothing. Although Ewald appeared to be a telephone repairman at first sight, it wasn ' t long until we understood the situation and sympathized. He was determined to win in spite of his big handicap. His tongue speaks honest convictions from a sincere and fearless heart. 26

THEODORE LEHMAN— Ted. The highest ivisdom is continual cheerfulness; such a state, like the region above the moon, is always clear and serene. — Montaigne. His smile dispels gloom and it displays itself right often too. He was a nature lover indeed, paying double tribute to the beauties of Elmhurst. His well modu- lated voice is peculiarly adapted to parlor oratory. He certainly deserves much credit for grit and stick-to-it-iveness. FRED NIEDRINGHAUS Fritz. Gladness of heart is the life of a man. — Anon. It is certain that we shall always remember Fred as a jovial friend, capable of deep and serious thinking, as well as seeing the humorous side of things. Fred ' s proficiency as a specialty salesman will undoubtedly help him in his efforts to induce that rich young widow to accept his goods. GILBERT SCHRODT— Schrodt, Nature is man ' s teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, illuminates his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence. — Street. Gilbert ' s unique characteristic was his love for the beauty contained in the Great-Out-of-Doors. As nature always takes an unimposing attitude, we believe that Gilbert has modeled after her in chosing modesty as his virtue.
