?SirijmnnnniuijrmnJinjir Walter David, A.B., Sociology Genoa, Ohio The writer of these blurbs is, like David, from God ' s Country (Ohio to you) and has to be extremely careful not to wax too ex- pansive when he gets a chance like this. Red says he doesn ' t think he ' ll be president of the nation, since Ohio has furnished alto- gether too many of these already, but will be content with his $20,000 presidentship of David University. Well, maybe so, but for the present here are a few of Red ' s claims to fame: his bridge, his realism, his aver- sion to coconuts, his refusal to be ensnared by romance until his Senior year in college, and his consistent high grades. Christine Deters, A.B., Education Ann Arbor, Michigan Miss Deters enrolled at Elmhurst as a junior, but in less than two years has suc- ceeded in making her presence felt — plenty, if you were to ask a couple of the boys in the class of 1934. Christine broke into jour- nalism this year, and was for a time editor of the esteemed Bark. (What! another edi- tor?) There is a persistent rumor that Christine is going to crash the gates at Eden Seminary next fall, but I dunno, I dunno. Edwin Eiben, A.B., History Marlin, Texas Eiben doesn ' t make much noise, but goes efficiently about his business. It ' s true that he is apt to catch you in an unguarded mo- ment and talk about the weather, but that ' s not to be held against any man. For the past year Eiben has been.working in an un- dertaking parlor, where he says he has found out a lot about human nature, chiefly that it doesn ' t last long. jTjinjTjijmnnnrinjuin t-age Twenty-foill

IKmrnruuiJuum Fred Allrich, A.B., History St. Charles, Missouri Fritz is the owner of the deepest and drawliest voice on the campus. Besides mak- ing himself famous for his authentic bear- ing as a student captain, or something, in Alt Heidelberg, he won the post of Chief Coffee Server and fourteenth assistant checker in the Commons. The east wing of South Hall will be a dull place without the lad who broke all records for long-distance arguments upon such weighty subjects as How Far Can a Snail Crawl Up the Edge of a Razor Blade, and How Many L ' s in Elliott. Carl Berges, A.B., Sociology Burlington, Iowa Berges and Hunger had one of the best- looking rooms in South Hall. How they al- ways kept it so neat was a mystery to the rest of the lads. Writing about those two fellows is like describing the Siamese twins. Always to- gether, doing the same kinds of extra-cur- riculars, they were inseparable pals. With Hunger as his able assistant, Berges was advertising manager for both the Elms and Elm Bark for two years. Paul Bode, A.B., History Plymouth, Nebraska Bode is a quiet lad, except when some- body piles furniture in the South Hall cor- ridors just as he is about to start pushing his broom around. The only time I ever saw Bode get really angry, though, was the oc- casion on which he broke six mop handles over a third floor radiator, because it got in his way. At times like that you ' d never think that this quiet boy sang baritone in the Glee Club, and was a pillar of Der Deutsche Verein and the Pre-The Club. mnjinjiriruiJTJxrmjuxar Fag ' s Twenty-three
