man ■r- .. ''Vs. SML —, ■ THE 1920 EMF , Can you imagine a better type of specimen to represent the future Electri- cal Engineer than Emil J. Remscheid, who for several years was a close asso- ciate of Chas. P. Steinmctz? Think of it. being in the same office with such a ' At least Emil was in the office twice a day to carry out the cigar stubs. Like all model classes, so has term 2-A its exceptions, which consists of two fellows whose names sound alike. The young men are Conrad Jahn and John John. When an instructor calls on John. Jahn responds, because he thought when the professor said John he meant Jahn. Then John wakes up and tells Jahn that he (the instructor) meant John, and to prove it, John asks the professor if he meant John or Jahn. 'Pile professor says lie meant John, so John tells Jahn to shut up and then John answers the question— sometimes. You must read this aloud to appreciate the queer humor. The peace-loving fellows are Arthur Gettelman and Donald Bach. Both have hibernated for the winter, so if you should meet either one, please don’t wake him up, for spring is coming soon. Oh joy. oh joy. No class is complete without one of those disappointed blonds. Our speci- men is Lyle D. Fordham. He is an exception to the rule that red-heads arc pests, and besides, girls, his hair is just a little bit curly. Not too much, you know. Aside from this, he’s been in France sixteen months, so he should be able to tell you all about the dresses the French girls wear. Here’s your chance, don’t crowd. In the cage to your right, ladies and gentlemen. 1 wish to call your atten- tion to Chas. J. Ilaumerson and Emanuel G. Ebcrhardt, both natives of Ra- cine, Wisconsin, captured many years ago while running away from home, raised on bread and milk, and now being exhibited as the best looking gentle- men in the U. S., including Racine, where they go every Friday night to change their shirts. In my last seance, folks I shall bring forth unto you Stanley J. Cane. Joe Kelly. Louis Ewald and W. Fay Kemper, who are deeply interested in a game of cards. Let me say just here that the last named gentleman is from Mis- souri, where they raise mules and such things. Imagine them sitting around a table with no other light but that of a candle, or one candle-power, so to speak, the beams of which barely illuminate their shave-wanting faces, and their talk too low to be distinguished from the clatter of the feet of Chas. •Bole, who is running back and forth all night long replenishing the glasses of the players with rootbeer. Down in one corner sits Edward Bopf with chains about his body and legs, working the algebra and Trig, problems for these enthusiastic players of the great Turkish game. Isn’t this a wonderful scene for the first act in “Ten Nights in a Bar Room?” Low music, tears, cease! Curtain. Now imagine a large crowd of classmates pounding and beating on my door and crying “Lynch him.” “Put him in a padded cell.” etc. Oh yea, Rc- bcca. my end has come. Page One Hundred Fifty-eig il
