F. Philler Curtis F. Philler Curtis presents among his many accomplishments a band which entertains us at the various concerts throughout the year. It is due to his work and patience that this task has been so well done. Coaching the tennis and fencing teams makes up his other official duties. and he has guided some of the best tennis players and fencers in this part of the country. Outside of this. Philler. as he is best known, can often be seen refereeing many a cold football game in linen knickers or moving breathlessly about while ofiiciating at one of those hot in- tra-mural basketball games. To those who are to be the future performers in the band, he privately gives instructions, and at odd times various and sundry noises can be heard emerging from his room. Occasionally he succeeds in coax- ing the majority of the band out to the big gym where they may be heard cheer- ing on the fighting basketeers. For pastimes and thrills he drives .1 Ford: and for diversion he smokes the latest invention in pipes or the ripest vintage in cigars and cigarettes. Dance committees are among his spe- cialties and each dance seems to turn out to be a greater success than the preceding one. This genial gentleman has a strong following in school and is often seen chatting with any number of boys in the corridor or in his sanctum sanctorum. 14 I . I'lllLLl'IR ITRTIS N. Y.

G k' A i n ree . ss s- tunt llandmaster: appointed IUI7. Herman T. Fick When we look back on our school life, we cannot forget Mr. Pick, for he is a tradition in school, almost an in- stitution in himself. Often we hear his thundering voice resounding down the corridor and know that some class is being instructed in the mysteries of foreign tongues, both ancient and mo- dern. His knowledge of ancient history is profound, much to the delight of his pupils. One cannot pass over that much talked of event when the cold blasts of winter roll round, and Mr. Fick is seen sauntering around in torrid garb while the rest of the world is great-coated and securely buttoned. Another feat of his is concerned with that miraculous cigar- ette which hangs perilously from his lower lip. Mr. Pick is essentially an out door man as you might have guessed, and among his favorite hobbies are camping. fishing, and hunting. He often regales his classes with many stories of his ad- ventures in the north woods or his childhood days in St. Louis where hc comes from. His chief indoor recreation centers about the dictionary. for he is an etymologist and linguist of the first water. His genial personality and human understanding make him one of the best liked masters in the school, and it is with a fond affection for him that we leave school.
