“
Sole survivor of the Senior Higii School Class of ’16. Tom is a very determined person, and to ])rove our point it is only neces- sary to say that out of a class of forty memhers that started with liiin in “prep” Tom is the only one remaining. His athletic procliv- ities have hrought him numerous friends, and he is at present un- dertaking the stupendous task of introducing golf to the students of the college. There is one pe- culiar trait in his character winch lias earned for him th e name “Silent.” Tom never starts a con- versation, it is for the other per- son to make himself known; but once engaged he soon expresses his opinion. For quite a while he has been called “Silent Tom.” “Tom the Quiet,” hut this is due more to his l)aslrfulness than to liis inability to s] eak, for we know he can converse on any subject from football to etics. However, in his silence, we know him as a fine fellow, always extending a helpful hand to someone in distress. Tom is equally happy in scliool as U])on the football field. For ])re- vious years hear evidence of his work. The class medals of So})ho- more, the Analytical Chemistry Medal, a medal for English and several l)remiums are claimed by him. He can in one breath tell us the hatting averages of the home team for a week ahead of time, and in the next breath declare a thesis on the freedom of the will to be false. Ye do not know what profession Tom will take up after leaving us, for the same reason that he never has told us. But whatever i)ro- fession he takes up, we can point to him as a gentleman, a sch.olar, and a sociable fellow. Tom, we wish that the success you have thus far ileserved will remain with you always, and may you succeed in the pro- fession of your choice for we know you have the ability. 9

President of the Atliletic Asso- ciation, Editor of tlie Annual, Secretary of the Senior Sodality, I ' resident of Senior Class. Our soldier boy would have graduated in the class of 1918, were it not for the fact that Uncle Sam needed Ills services. From Camp Meade, Sergeant “Joe” took up his bur- den in France. The separation irom school ties at a time when graduation wais so near at hand must have been a trying ordeal for him. And now “Joe” is to realize an ambition which the World War temporarily checked. Tliere is another thing that dis- tinguishes “Joe” from the rest of us and that is his ability to make I)earahle the dryest classes. As a f unmaker and general class comedian he has no equal. “A joke a day” is “Joe’s” motto and he surely lives up to it. But aside from being our hero and ofticial comedian Josepli is a dee]) and brilliant thinker. Frankness is a predominant part of his character, for with the deepest regard for his ])rofessor he will not hes- itate an instant in pointing out a thesis as “that conglomeration of words,” and in many a syllogism he will defy anyone to show that that reasoning is correct. Yet his ability to defend those very theses in a pliiloso])hic circle shows that behind that verbal utterance of denuncia- tion, Joe must possess some inner emotions of the beautiful, and a keen sense of argumentation. The law profession in a few years from now will receive into its midst a thinker, geniat and lovable. Some day we hope to find him a prominent disciple of Blackstone; not only ])rominent, hut the leader of the ])rominent. To you, “Joe,” we offer our heartfelt felicitations, and may sucess always be yours. 8
