THE ELIMS I 9 3 O KARL BUFF Union, 111. B.S. — Chemistry BufF was born with the mechan- ical bent. Experimentation on ra- dios, cars, and all manner of divers mechanisms is his established avoca- tion. Being of German-American descent, to him, life is work. So he pursued the Unknown up and down test-tubes into mystic inscrip- tions. Being American, he is prac- tical, giving commercial value to the urge for activity by re-establish- ing weary Fords and sending them back into life ' s work. As president of the German Club, Buff brought zest and humor into the organization. The I. R. C. has also been under his able super- vision. BufF is a romantic grenadier: in- dependent, a gay companion, free in his associations with men, with- out ostentation in his serious labors. In that jolly frame is a craftsman spirit — time will bring out! K. BUFF K. CUKl ' lS RALPH CURTIS Sauk City, Wis. B.S. — Math, and Sciences Athletics are Ralph ' s prime in- terests. However, he does not neg- lect the class and other campus activities. Ralph joined the class of 1930 in its junior year and be- cause of his pleasant and likeable manner, he quickly became a friend of all the fellows. In football, Ralpii made a name for himself as a quarterback ol no mean ability. In basketball he captained the team of 1028-20 to man) ' a x ' ictory because of liis brainy playing and ixeellenl leader- shl]-).

ELM S I 9 3 O EDWIN BEIER St. Louis, Mo. A.B. — History is the end of a long, career for Ed at Elmhurst. He began as a freshman in the Academy, finished seven consecutive years there, then took his final years work at Eden. During his time at Elmhurst he showed his musical ability both in the Band and in the Glee Club, He always carried the respect of his fellow students, which was demonstrated by the fact that he was president of his class for two years. Ed has gained fame among those who know him for his ability to argue any side of any subject. Mention must also be made of his mechanical skill; for we know that many a dilapidated and antiquated vehicle has been esoterlcally nursed back to life by him. A man with such varied abilities certainly has a bright future. E. BEIER THEODORE BEIER St. Louis. Mo. A.B. — History Ted spent much of his time at River Forest, Illinois, as a help to financing his education. Being in- dustrious, he was often found read- ing his books on the way to and from work. In the spare moments which remained for him, he wrote to his girl friend or practiced on his horn. He was little worried by the problem of life; because he was blessed with a carefree spirit. But to those things which he thought of importance, he applied himself diligently. We shall remember Ted as a most practical and matter-of-fact man who in all of his deeds proved the motto, Things worth doing al all are worth doing well. He has found happiness in Eden; since St. Louis means to him friends, home, and the completion of the preparation for the ministry. T. BEIER Page twenty-eight

THE ELMS 8 9 3 O R. DeLURYEA AUGUST GROLLMUS Ada, Ohio A.B. — Sociology August is one of the very few of the few seniors who has spent four full years at Elmhurst. But Elm- hurst is much better for it. August was a worker. When the grass grew, it was August who tr ' m- med it; when the snow fell, it was August who led the shoveling crew; and when there were studies to pre- pare, August found time to study and to study hard! A friend to the friendless was August. He was willing to offer his bit of advice to anyone in trouble. And those who received advice from him realize its value. For four years August saw the Glee Club improve, and just so did the Glee Club see August improve as a singer. August was one of the charter members of the German Club, and its president in the year 1 930. RUTHERFORD DeLURYEA Vincennes, Indiana A.B. — Sociology Those who knew Bus the first year he was with us no doubt had little hope for him. But Bus changed, and worked hard, and will get his degree even if he was forced to miss a semester of school. Bus has been one of our star basketball players. He was the Business Manager of the 1930 Elms, a member of the Student Union Executive Committee, and also a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Bus is a serious student; he has not only his studies at heart, but he is also anxious to help car- ry the world ' s burdens. His ener- getic spirit shows great possibilities. We hope he will find the right channel into which he may turn and so be able to make the most of his capabilities. I A. GROLLMUS Page t iirty
