A Footlights Club, 3. Reuben has inaugurated the oflice of absentee- housefather at Moravian, however, what is one manls loss is another fwojman's gain and we suspect that before the story ends we will find that they lived happily ever after. Gross should never be bored with life, he has too many hobbies. Music, poetry, mechanics, and even physical culture have helped him to avoid dull mo- ments. It is generally understood that this ver- satile personality is head mann in a company that writes poetry, that is, if two can be a company. Reuben's life at Moravian has been interesting. He could tell some hair-raising stories if he cared to. Some one has said that the best test of a man's character is his ability to spend an evening with himself and like it. Reuben passed the test until he met iiD0t,,. ID IFW II SWA EDWARD T. MICKEY, Jr., A.B. Winston-Salem, N. C. Bachelor of Divinity A friend in need is a friend indeed C. L.

We shall always remember Mickey when he was a student at Moravian for two reasons: his great interest in, and his loyalty to, the musical organiza- tions, and his hospitality and friendliness. He was director of the Glee Club for four years and tool: an active part in the Band and Orchestra as well. But finer yet is the generous sympathy and unde- niable friendliness which permeates his life. Ed is f ' d to all and what does humanity need more a rien , than a helping hand? Good luck, Ed !

It is said that his motto is l'The Blender the Betterv. When Bollman fails to return to M. C. next fall we will miss more than the piercing vociferations that have so often given expression to his good nature, we will miss one who came as near learning the meaning of school spirit as anyone on the cam- pus. There is a reason for his succeeding in his activities--he never puts into theory that which he can put into practice. We are anxious to see him talce up his lifeis work with the same enthusiasm which he has shown at Moravian. Let's see you serve an Mace , Q'Bones',l ju VERNON IRVIN GRAB, A.B. Lalce Mills, Wis.

This champion of law and order has missed his calling, he should have been a truant officer, one of those things that cause boys more bad dreams than pie and calce does. l'Kneel on 'em Graf , cry the onlookers and two hundred and - pounds of human flesh begin to crush a victim. It is Vernon's way of answering a pointed jest. Concerning Graf there have been rumors and rumors of rumors, perhaps some clay one of them will be true. Remember the touchdown Graf made for M. C. on the first play after he had been put into the game. When opportunity lcnoclcs at Vernon's door, she gets a hearty welcome. If a steady and unshalcen purpose succeeds, V. I. G. will have little trouble in reaching his goal.

Bachelor of Divinity Ea' 'twirh a Singleness of Aim Comenian, 4. Band, 1-4. Glee Club, 2-5. Class Treas- urer, 3. We have learned from Q'Ed,' that not all enthusi- asm is noisy. We have learned, too, that humor and friendliness often lie in quiet places. If you don,t want to have an argument don't start one. That seems to be Kortzls philosophic view and we must admit that it is a good one. Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles youl' is another way of explaining Ed,s tranquil state of mind. He has a great chance to find happiness, because he has not trusted his hope for this elusive sub- stance of life to either desire for gold or wish for fame. Those who would appreciate this quiet fellow must first .of all respect his sincerity. .Many who have visited his desk have read the following poem: Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet each night pitch my tent A day's march nearer home. HARRY TRODAHL, A.B. Daggett, Mich.

He is a compound of those elements which constitute sturdiness. He has proven that quality consistently in his friendships and work during his seven years at Moravian. He thinks clearly and logically, and expresses himself thus in speech and conduct. Harry has identified himself with many phases of college and seminary life. He has attained a well- rounded development in his preparation for the Christian ministry and he looks forward to his future work with sincerity of purpose.
