To make avid keep friends is the great art of life, yet the easiest and simplest thing in the world. -Wm. DeWitt Hyde. President Marshall Societv, Varsity Football, '19, President Senior Class, Varsity Baseball, 120. ERKlE, recently of the A. E1 F., is one of the largest men in school. BV largest I mean men- tally as well as physically. After two years of army life he entered school with the determination to make good, and he has gone over the top in his studies as effectively as he used to go over the top after the Boche. Berkie is quiet, but you can't help liking him. He is somewhat similar to Washingtoii in that he seldom speaks, but when he does speak he says something. When the literary societies were organized, he was elected President of the Marshalls. Later, when the Senior Class was organized, he was chosen president of the class. He has handled the class as he used to handle details overseas, and his efforts have been rewarded with success. Berkie, although he had never played before, came out for football and made good as tackle on the varsity. He certainly did tackle those backs and plug up the line plunges. He had a little more experience in baseball and struck out many of our opponents before they could get their breath. Talking of sports, Berkie is also an expert dancer. He hasn't been bothering the girls long, but he surely is light on his feet, if a size fourteen can be called a foot. He hasn't any trouble find- ing room on a dance floor, because they all make way when he appears. Berkie has the kind of disposition that knows no opposition, and he is bound to make good.

. 5 ? ' X W 4 I 6 W I: I LJ NINETEENTWENTY IRVING KOOPMAN BASH Reading, Pa. 'lBlue Jay, Bash Now is the accepted time to ybrove whelher yon are cz donbier 07' a doerf' RVING K., the honored son of Mr. Bash, his father, is a week- end student. It must bore him to leave a big city like Reading QD and come to school in such a small town as Lancaster. He is a hard-working man. Vile believe he is carrying three subjects. He Works untiringly every day except Monday and Friday. Monday he is recuperating from his week-end in Reading, and on Friday the anticipation is too strong forwork. We all know when the Blue Jay is coming, for it is impossible for him to take two steps without letting the whole school know he is mov- ing. He was in the Q. M. C. during the recent war and didn't hand in his hob-nailed shoes when he was discharged. Consequently he still wears them, and they make more noise than the rest of the fellows' shoes combined. We are indeed fortunate in having Bash with us. One day while feeding shirts to the pressing machine Cthis was one of his thrilling experiences during the warl he became entangled in the sleeves of one and was rolled Hat. His iron constitution prevailed, however, and he survived and still exists to pester humanity. It is a shame he didn't grace us with his presence earlier. He was one of the football heroes at Swarthmore, and, if he had entered here before the football season was finished, our scores would have probably been quite different. Bash is a good fellow and, if he discards his shoes, is sure to succeed. University of Pennsylvania. Born: June 4, IQOO. -19-

ir me NINETEEN-'rwl:N1'Y RAYMOND LEVY DENLINGER Strasburg, Pa- IADCHVIV 11Rayyv ,He lives I0 work and not If0 play. HIS young man came to us last September from a little place south of Lancaster. Although Stras- burg is not very large, Denlinger acquired a strange weakness for the girls. CVVe'll have to look into this.D VVe heard that he had a girl at home and that he was taking dancing les- sons so that he could bring her to our Senior Prom. Ray graduated from Strasburg High last year, ranking at the head of his class, but as all bright men aspire to greater achievements, he came to us to conquer more complicated obstacles. To the general rule that all men have their faults, Ray is no excep- tion, but his are covered up by his good habits. His one delight is in playing tricks on the profs. He has won high military honors as corporal of the first squad of the renowned UBookWorn1s, an organization of high rank. He is also one of Prof. Hall's math sharks, occupying one of the front line benches. ' We have heard that athletics develop the mind, but f'Ray evidently does not let this bother him, or else he thinks that his studies occupy enough of his time. Denlinger is taking a technical course, aiming to be an engineer. He expects to attend Lehigh University next year, and We are sure that he will be as successful there as he was at F. M. A.
