Ya... !4....., Clffa. . . . . . one of the things I can remember the best about my college days is the old guy who was the engineer and general handyman around Eureka. He was sort of like that old Sarge of ours when it came to overseeing a job that had to be done. I worked for him at the heating plant. Easy to get along with, that's Heinie. We always just called him Heinie. His right name was Henry Brubaker. He was the only one on campus who would walk right into the presi- dent's office smoking a cigar. Sometimes he did leave the cigar just outside the door on the radiator, though. I was still there at the time the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, and I can remember the time that Heinie was going to put up a flag on the campus flagpole. Just a few days after Pearl Harbor, Heinie had orders to dig up a flag from the storeroom in Burgess. Out he came and was going to fly the flag. About that time somebody noticed that the flag contained only 46 stars in the blue field. It was one of a vintage before 1912. And did that old college truck take a bcatin' with old Heinie at the wheel! He always carried baggage and stuff from the bus sta- tion to the college for new students. Tuesday and Saturday nights you could always see the truck parked in front of a little store about a block from the pinochle with some Heinie has been is the oldest person campus. Heinie would be at the store playing of the boys. with the college for about twenty-five years and around there in the service of the college. if ir ir
