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. Bachelor of Divinity V A A friend never asks for a literal command, but from the knowledge of the speaker he un- derstands his half words and from love for him, anticipates his wishes. Football, 5-6.

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.

A REUBEN I-I. GROSS, A.B. . West Salem, Ill. Bachelor of Divinity 'Tis he whose law is reasonv Band, C. L. S., 1-7, Secretary, 4. Comenian, 4. Glee Club, 3-5. Comenius Hall, House President, 7. 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. S., 1-7, Secretary, 2, Chaplain, 35 President, 4. Footlights Club, 4. John Beck Oratorical Contest, First Prize, 2. Literary Editor of REVISTA, 3. Band, 1-5, 7g Librarian, 5. Glee Club, 1-Q, Director, 3-6. Orchestra, 1-5. Class President, 1. Student Senate, 1, 4. Alpha Kappa Alpha. Comenian, 2. 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 !

ID IEW II SWA CHARLES BURD ADAMS, A.B. Lancaster, Pa. Bachelor of Divinity Language defiled ne'er did pass his lips C. L. S., 1-69 Chaplain, 25 Vice-President, 35 Presi- dent, 4. Comenian, Cweekly College paperl, 2. Co- menian Cmonthly literary magazinej, 2. Footlights Club, 2-4. John Beck Oratorical Contest, 1, 3, First Prize, 3.

Secretary-Treasurer of Seminary Student Body, 5. Alpha Kappa Alpha, National Historian, 6. The one talent for which the talented Mr. Adams is most envied is his ability to come into the first period class each morning several minutes late, and then look indignant if some one reproaches him for his tardiness. From the first Charles Burd awed his fellows with his extensive vocabulary and the wide sweep of his knowledge which has made him an unquestioned authority on many subjects, such as shoe leather, crab-paddies, and taxi cabs-to mention only three. During the past year Charles has been much in Nazareth as the organist of the Moravian Church there. We predict that he will be in that village even more in the future, but not in the capacity of church organist. ARNIM H. FRANCKE, A.B., U . of Wis. Madison, Wis. Bachelor of Divinity But he who loves his kind does, first and late, A work too great for famef, Glee Club, S-6, Octet, 5g Vice-President, 6. C. L. S., 5-6. Vice-President Seminary Student Body, 5. Arnim is among those who have come to us from other schools of higher learning. He received his college education at the University of Wisconsin. Last year he came to Moravian for theological edu- cation after having established a splendid record during two years of employment with the New York Life Insurance Company in Madison, Wis- consm. I-Iis reputation as a thorough student and respon- sible individual had preceded him, and we looked for his coming with the expectation of great things. Nor were we disappointed, for his classroom work has been excellent. But that is not all. In addition to Arnim's ability we have found that he has a warmth of heart and kindliness of feeling for his fellows which makes us count him among our best friends. We wish him well, and believe that these qualities have done much to start him on a life of service and helpfulness to his fellowmen. Biff counters pr0p0 We be mad nation, Prove 11
