JAMES LACY BRADLEY Lacy, the one remaining antique of yesteryear when a man’s word sufficed for a loan. Surrounded as he is by a good natured rotundity and a flowing opulence, he is, as it were, a living refutation of the belief that Uncle Benny and his ilk have no place among College men. What shall be said of this anomalous homo ? What can be writ of one whose trend of thoughts follow such contradictories as divorce, hymn books and pecuniary generosity ? Yet can we say, the complacency of the demure Lacy has ever been to us a guiding light in the path of patience. He is not to be perturbed, come what will and annoying elements that vex most of us are but accidents “en passant” to him. An active part has been his in everj’ undertaking of the class and we are grateful to him. He alone starred for us consistently in athletics throughout the entire course, and the dailies have attested to his victories for Lojmla again and again. As a class officer from time to time, Lacy has exhibited a discreetness which evidences his maturitj and financial proportions. In the future, should all aspects of life be treated by him with the same self confidence as have things in the past, there shall be no insurmountable obstacles and his path shall be primrose, flowered with the daintiest blossoms. “Attempt the end and never stand to doubt Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out.” IS2I 9

HARRY JOSEPH CASEY Beneath a disheveled head of scarlet hue and above the sombre gen- tleness of an inconspicuous mingling of trousers and waistcoat beams the Jovial face of Harry the Red. It must be said of him that he is first a gentleman, then a subtle thinker, clever with the pen, a real friend, always happy, moderately fond of the more deadly of the species, not a fre- quenter of tea houses, on speaking terms with every taxi driver in the city and an arch-enemy of the inventor of work. His favorite im- pressions will better serve to acquaint the reader with our henna haired school-mate than anything we might write. Read them and conclude as you will. With immovable firmness, he maintains that taxis are useful as well as ornamental, that Shakespeare was a fit subject for Mt. Hope, when he said “Neither a borrower nor a lender be,” that Erin Go Braugh should be the national slogan, that woman’s place is in the home as long as the home isn’t his, and the house should be mortgaged on an ace in the hole, and lastly that “To wait and not be tired by waiting” is one quality his friends must possess. The attainment of a mark in the stubble fields of changing careers must be Harry’s. It cannot be denied him, for “He has the grace too rare in ever} clime Of being without alloy of fop or beau A finished gentleman from top to toe.” COLLEGE 1921 11
