This time-worn veteran of the school has at last attained the privilege of being a senior after wearing out the Main Ilall steps sitting in Upper Middler pictures. Doug is so much of a senior that he could absent himself all the fall term and then make it by a heavy schedule of fifteen hours. Hi is a confirmed pessimist and is the first to tell you that you are on the guard report or in Study Hall. IIe can always foresee new rules and bans on floors, and all other little joy-killers. Ile was always known in the past as a shark in German, but it is rumored that Henri Hersh is taking his place in the lingo of the home of pretzels and beer. He was closely defeated for the presidency of the Pessimist Club, but rules as Vice-President with much delight. May success be yours, Doug.

Tom Hrst won distinction as a prize hghter and general rough-neck when he challenged Lyn Peer last year, for the supremacy of the hrst floor Kell. Ile lost the first encounter, but, like the famous bull-dog, he came back again and again, and now rules the first floor of Keil with an iron fist. .But Tom has other valuable assets besides his physical prowess. VX by he had the entire school in tears when, at one senior speaking contest, he rendered the famous poem, When you have to foot the bill.

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.

Vi'hitey is an example of the old saying Appearances are deceitful, for who would take him to be an exalted senior with the ibility to pocket the coveted sheepskin ind get away with it unchallenged? 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

'l'hoxe eurious lurks so aptly livilzerl Whose t'l'l'l'!l Imir ll soul rlolh hind. 'l'his, the youngest member of the senior rlass, was plat-ed in the kindergarten when he arrived, two years ago. But everyone began to take uotiee when he appeared in the Upper Middler Class, and simply eouldn't be put into Study Ilall. Ile made an en- viable reeord for himself immediately. Ile was made a member of the Fifteen by Mr. Rutledge for his use of linglish, and a member of the Ilall of lfame by Mr, lN'IeI.aughlin for his knowledge of Cieero. .lohn's intelleetual brow and general un- eouseious expression have attraeted mueh attention. lt is a common sight to see him :imbling aimlessly along, having forgotten what he is looking for. Ilis expression is somewhat different, however, while walking oft' guard for numerous roll-eall euts. Ile says that there is no eollege like that of his paternal aneeslor, so our best wishes go with him to PHINCI'1'I'ON 2-t Willett Enrlanh. Zlr. San Diego, Cal.

On Irving debating team, up in his studies, member of the swimming team, and a par- taker of .Iimmy Curranis twisters, but nevertheless nieknamecl Absent,' and Holl- Call Cutter! But this versatility is exaetly what we want to eompliment you on, old man. We have it on good authority that absent is no word to apply to Dorlaudts mind when he is interested in debate. Ile is so serious of purpose that we overlook the missing of roll ealls and sueh trivialities. Dorland is also a member of the Fresh Air Club, not in that he takes a fresh-air eourse, far from it, but that he always has his window open to keep his mental radiator eool while he works. Our best wish for you, Dorlund, is that your year with us will serve as a pattern for 1 eaeh of your four at l.iz1.ANn Sr.-xwrono, .I
