HTIIH n1orlesIy's 11 candle lo lhy merif' Here, gentlemen, is a most quiet man with an exquisite Ilow of language. We claim Brownie to be a brand from the burning. VN'hen we first knew him, he was deeplv involved with the ultimate triumph of the ethereal mind over commonplace matters. lle has a very decided opinion on everv- thing, and will argue bv the hour on anything from woman sutlrage to the virtues of the hook-worm. Brown wears a pair of glasses that are a real camouflage. By those who have seen him without them, he is said to be in a state of perpetual blush and embarrassment. Yet he is constant in all things and a true friend to all who know him. Mav Fortune smile on you, old man. llHSlNl'S l L X 2 ,., qlilibllllv 1.. 1... 1 . ina .i., 4 4 , H 1 1--is'wf1 u 1 1' i If , Ehmarh Harnlh Ernmrr Sehwenksville, Pa. Brom, Eddie,,' Ted lrving. Nothing is more useful than silence Brom is a member of the Silent Workers of Schwenksville. Where? Why you know. Sehwenksville, the place which claims as suburbs, Boston, Philadelphia and New York! For details consult Mayor Bromer. Brom is proncient at wrestling and, ac- cording to the Schwenksville CI!lI'i0I1, he spends much of his vacations hunting and trapping. At school, his great athletic fame is in the field of tennis. Brom is indoor tennis champion of the third floor, Main: some honor, considering the protieiency acquired by the Main Hall athletes! Besides being a member of the Silent Workers, liddie is also a member of the Sons of Rest, in good standing too. Ile manages to get things done, however, and we predict success for him.

But beware, Cubby is not to be trilled with: his nick-name fully characterizes him. It may be said, morc- over, that Cuhby shares his namesake-'s adversion to winter and that he, for the most part, adopts the very same method of a- voiding it, namely by sleeping. Ile comes as near to hibernating as anyone we have in the class. The only thing that does not seem con- sistent with his name is his well-known and acknowledged occupation of draught-hunting.

M. receptionj, for his listic encounters, for his diary, for making calls, for rough-housing, for his drag, for his liberal translations of Latin, for his dread of study hall and guard squad, for his sus- ceptibility to feminine charms, for his literary attainments, for his perseverance in trying entrance exams, for his Y. M. C. A. con- ference at Lebanon, which he tried to turn into a Y. W. C. A. conference. There, we haven't space to describe any ol' these traits and escapades, but from this list you know what kind of a boy our Cam is.

I um no! in llic roll of common IIIFIIH Romans, Mohammedans, and Christians! let no one take olfense at this photograph! lt is the best that the photographer could do after .Iinuny had smiled, blushed, perked, and grinned at him six times. The photo- grapher would not take another chance! lt is surely a good thing that .limmy's whole length did not haye to be shown, for in that case the picture would have to be given on the installment plan. At quiet hours in the late evening .lim has a very pleasing habit of playing hobby- horse up and down the third floor corridor of liighty-eight. This wins for him the love and allection of all the instructors. And when it comes to li. M. Algebra he and lidgar are the teacher's pets! You know you can count eyery one of us as a friend, Jim.

When volunteers were called for to compost some new cheers, Fairy had a grand ic which was inspired by hearing the student body inhale soup in unison one luncheon houi Whitey came to us with oratorical, debating athletic, and editorial ambitions, but a t a few encounters with the brand of instium tors of which lXiercersburg boasts he c eluded to limit his endeavors to securing 1 diploma in June. However, he was among the Iirsl of the new boys to make Marsh ill properg and his cross country running won for him much respect. The name of friendship is sacred, Browning and what you demand in that name, we h in K not the power to deny you. PiuNc2r1ToN 0' M7125-AW., lt.1iuii.A...1n,i.i n l il .1 u 1 ,W
