JOHN ANTHONY ROMWEBER BATESVILLE, INDIANA Rommy Class Baseball Q23 Gaston Debating Society C23 Smoker Committee C33 Senior Prom Lommittee C43 The Flying Dutchman is one of the high spots of the class. Always hailed with delight, the essence of good humor, he has sailed gloriously through four years with his wide grin. Periodically he sub- merges for a period of brain racking study, only to pop forth once more Hrearing to go. And he loves his reading. VVhen not out, or planning to go out, and when not fighting with Scally, he can always be found with his nose in a book. And what goes in can come out, as those find who argue with him. LEO G. ROSZYKIEWICZ l'iERKEMER, N. Y. t'Rizk', Rosey Philonomosian C23 C33 C43 Junior Smoker C33 Domesday Booke Staff Pages will be written about the great sacrifices some of the country's youth made to defend her in her most dire need. Leo was one of those who gave up a well-famed law course to answer the call, and as a consequent has been forced to accept a delay of two years before his entrance upon the business world. lt can never be said that his activities ceased when his duty to country was finished for he has always been very energetic in class affairs. Deducing his accomplishments and adding to that the man as we understand him, we can be assured of good representation. JAMES FLEMING RUTLEDGE STA MFORD, CON N. Rut Football, llaseball CClass3, C13 Baseball CClass3 C23 Chairman Junior Prom C33 The senior member of the vvell-known firm of Rutledge Sz Romweber, the Brothers, representatives at Georgetown.. Among other things, .lim had a dance, which is to say, he was chairman of the Junior Prom Committee. and one glorious success he made of it: the best -lunior Prom ever held is a mild description. He took his executive powers else- where in Senior year, and by hard work made a real body out of his society. And in these leagues which are held at random on any old night, we must hand Rut one concession. He never bragged about Con- necticut. This is, indeed, praise Cto be sure, there's nothing to brag about, but that shouldn't detract.l Twenty-three will be long in forgetting Rut's smile, and longer yet in forgetting hllll.

Ethics and Psychology-but let us not draw distinctions. A ready mixer, a repartee as ready and sharp, a deep vein of wit, and a good dis- penser of oil,' Ujawnn should hold forth as com- pletely successful in life, as he has on the campus. WILLIAM JOSEPH RICCIARDI XVASHINGTON, D. C. Bill Business Manager Journal C15 C25 C31 Philodemic Society C45 O'Brien Medal CSD Honor Man CD C25 C31 VVillie is a close student-not of any particular subject, but he lives only two blocks away from college, the old saying, the nearer the church the farther from Godf' has no parallel in his case, for the astounding regularity with which he attends class got him his job of checking up on the less alert members. He is a grind, indeed, but not in char- acteristics. He can study more than any other two, but he never loses his pep and goodfellowship. And he does what he undertakes in speedy and thorough fashion, which augurs well for his deeds after he leaves Georgetown. SYLVESTER ROLL ELLswoRTif, MINNESKDTAX Spex'l Philodemic C45 Although only a one-year man in our midst Syl- vester has evidenced himself very much. From in- quiry we learned that his ability as an athlete, scholar and debater, while at St. Marys, his former Alma Mater placed him very far in the front of his class. His entrance among us, while not so marked, has showed progression, and judging from the toll of his social campaigns, he bids fair to lead even us to such glories.

It wasnlt his fault that the war inter- fered with his education, but nevertheless he is an authority on student life back to the time when the rest of us were in prep. And the troubles that man runs into with his handle- Oh, what's your real name? You make ine laugh. A versatile and ex- ceptional athlete, a level thinker, a dependable friend -and we almost forgot-how he hates to get in on time. PHILIP GERALD TAGUE CHARLESTONVN, Mass. Erik Lief Class Football C15 C25 C35 C45 Class Baseball Cl5 C25 C35 C-l5 Class Secretary C15 Treasurer Ritie Club C25 Manager Minor Sports C45 Upon entering Eric's office in North Building, one would first see a large Dunhill, behind which would be our hero, playing solitaire like a Cherokee chief, his main indoor sport. His friends claim that Eric is easily satisfied. Give him a good bed, a barrell of apples, and an inexhaustible supply of Hersheys own within reach and all's well along the Potomac. But, seriously, in our four year's of association with Phil, we have grown to know him and to like him. A cheerful companion, always ready to make sacrifices, a true friend, in short, this is the Swede. JOHN BURKE WALSH VVASIIINGTON, D. C.

Vi'hite Debating SoeietyC25 Sophomore Smoker Committee C25 VVhich shall we compare him to, Dana or Web- ster? Burke has started well on the path to over- take both. For three years he collected medals, attention, and honors on the rostruin. and then he forsook the forensic role and became a cub reporter. His success there is to come. He has always been prominent in class affairs, and has worked hard on several committees. Ahead of him, assuredly, lies a real career in journalism, or whatever else he selects as his life work.
