Hangout: -THE ftp20 E - -«— THE HAPPY SIX Members: O. E. Schumacher—“Schuniak” ..............Our High-muckey-muck Robert Pirie—“Pyrec” ...................';........Our Jazz Baby Milton Hiller—“Mary Jane” ..........................Club “Dater” Lloyd Hayes—“Toughie” ....................The short of our club Martin Pagel—“Slim” ..............................The long of it Burrows Rogers—“Hep” .............................From Mizzouri Color: White and Black. Flower: Cactus. At Davidson. Purpose: To kill time. Motto: Pleasure before business. Schumacher. The high-muckey-muck of the gang. This position is not a bestowed one it is because of his nature that his high position fell to him. In other words he is the happiest guy in the bunch. Not a sorrow is so great but he can laugh at it. Rogers. “Hep” derived from helpless. The dangerous work always falls upon him in chemistry. It is not because of his brave nature, but be- cause of his two partners that he has to do all the dangerous work for his group. If he is a little shaky about doing a dangerous experiment, when ordered to do so by Pirie and Pagel. he is promptly asked if he is helpless. Hence the name. “He is from Mizzouri and has to be showed.” Pirie. If Pirie. our Jazz Baby, cannot be found at school he will surely be at the Wells-Colonial or the Empress. When called upon to sell any- thing from Annuals to Papcl's skates he is right there. He does like to see the money come in. Hiller. As long as Hiller, our club datcr. stays on the job no one will lack a fair partner for any occasion. We all agree that he is poor on remem- bering the addresses of his lady friends but he always manages to round someone up to fill the bill when called upon. Another remarkable thing about “Dater” is that he always has more girls on his list after Christmas than before. Hayes. “Toughie” is the tough, rough and ready guy of the gang as one might judge from his nickname. He has seen service in France. His chief occupation while there was to cut the toes off dead Germans which lie now proudly exhibits as souvenirs of the great war. He is old enough to buy a revolver, but because of the tough expression he sometimes wears, was unable to do so. Pagel. “Slim” as everyone knows, is a very obliging chap. He did not make a very big hit with Mr. Stewart though when he told him one day in Math, class that some paper in the lamp bowl was burning. But Pagel's obliging disposition is fully appreciated by the members of this club. Prof Kienth—“Well, how did your analysis come out?” Walker-—“Right through this hole in the bottom of the beaker.” Rounds—(First day in Milwaukee.) “Conductor, which end of the car do I get off?” Con.—“Either end, both ends stop.” • Mr. Krotzer—“Are you finding the work very hard?” Reading—“Yes. I’ve lost ten pounds since I started taking physics.” A lie in time saves nine. A switch in time keeps a girl in her prime. 1 Page One Hundred Ninety-six

 m THE 11.920 EMF; DO YOU KNOW THAT —you must not hit a man when he is down, unless sure, that you can keep him down? —if we listen to the troubles of others, it may make us better satisfied with our own? —they say that kissing by telephone has only one thing in its favor? A fellow does not get a mouthful of powder or a taste of red paint. —when a girl invites a young man to her home for dinner and tells him, that she did all the cooking, it is time for him to sit up and look out? —often it is easier to catch on, than it is, to let go? —the average woman is a good actress off the stage ? —the hardest part about an easy job is, the getting it? —it is hard to believe a man a liar, when he says nice things about you? —notwithstanding, that silence is golden it generally pays the agents to keep on talking? —when a man succeeds the world envies him, and when he fails, it sympa- thizes with him—but secretly rejoices? —many people think that they arc acting dignified, when they only have the big head? —the majority of people will speak sweetly of you to your face and tell you. that the band ought to play whenever you come along, but when discussing you with others, there is always a sprinkling of profanity in their remarks? —nothing else disgusts a man so much, as to arrive at a meeting place fifteen minutes late and find, that the other fellow has not arrived? —most men are brave, until bravery is demanded? —a smile can accomplish more in a minute, than harsh words in a month? BURROWS ROGERS, II-F. WHY SOME OF STUDENTS CAME TO THE S. O. E. Wells—I wanted to be in a school where there were no girls to bother me. Slowick—I came with the supposition that my talents would be needed. Olsen—Well, well. I had known one of the athletes here and wanted to know him better. Rice—I came to .set the styles and to recover from last year’s social events. Zimmerman—I came to escape the eagle eye of my parents in order that I might play poker at pleasure. I hope to become a “sharper” in time. Myers—Life in Iowa wasn’t exciting enough to suit his peculiar dis- position. J. W. Page One Hundred Ninety-eight
