l -A S ' JJ M y gg I f me NINETEEN-TWENTY I r Mr. Rothermel was Very active during his college days. He was editor of two of the literary magazines, a member of the intercollegiate debating team, president of the Y. M. C. A., of the Goethean Literary Society, of the Porter Scientific Society, and of the Athletic Association. He was interested in almost every phase of college life. Vllhen he be- came affiliated with this Academy, he brought his interest with him. He was a member of the first glee clubg and it was largely through his efforts that the 'lDial had been published from year to year. He was and still is a greatWfriend of all the fellows. He looks at things from both points of view, and every fellow gets a fair deal. No matter how many trials he passes through he is always the same, and has the same smil- ing face and kindly glance for everyone. lt is as a slight token of our regard for him and of our appreciation for his continuous interest in the welfare of every student that we, the Class of Nineteen Twenty, do affectionately dedicate this, the seventh volume of THE EPILOGUI3, to our esteemed principal, Joseph A. Rothermel. R.S.G.
