3 CLASS '25 BOOK iK William Gardner Berndt Bill the conqueror holds no idle claim to renown, for he not only captained our marvelous football team, but also starred in other sports, notably running. His avocations are gum-chewing and talking, which occupy a good twenty- four hour day, making the endurance of his jaw a subject for profound admiration. S'et his is a far from empty brain, for Bill has conceived more ingenious plans for snap book reports than any mortal before or since. His winning smile carries him over any amount of wearisome toil, and the only course that stumps is French, which naturally goes against the grain of a Teuton. Bill will undoubtedly attain a high standing in the world, for he has already passed the six-foot mark. Operetta (1), Football (2-.V4), Captain of Football, Basket-ball, Glee Club, Debating Club (4).
