Y. Luth- eran. Republican. Teaching. ‘ ‘ Charley ’ ’ has been one of the most con- sistent athletes within the ranks of the class of 1920. In every class game or scrap, the affair was not complete unless ‘ ‘ Charley ' ’ was in it. Many of the fellows are still wondering why he stayed so long at Thiel College but it has since been learned that Thiel is a co-educational college, which partly explains for his prolonged absence. It has been learned that he played half-back on the Thiel football team and it is our wager that many a disgruntled private took the ex- cellent chance of seeing that the C. O. was roughed up ’ ’ a bit. Besides his many col- lege activities and his arduous labors in the Science (?) Department, he makes quite a few trips up into the coal regions and it has been rumored on good authority that he usually visits Port Carbon, which is quite near Minersville. What he does there is still a matter of conjecture among the fellows. Raymond A. Green 139 Cumberland Street, Lebanon, Pa. ‘ 1 Tiny ’ ’ Born at Reading, Pa., February 11, 1899. Pre- pared at Lebanon High School. Entered Muhlen berg, 1916. Classical Course. Phi Kappa Tau. Assistant Artist and Photographer, the 1920 Ciarla. Varsity Basketball (2)., (3); “M” man. Varsity Track ( 2 . Glee Club (3) ; Mandolin Club (3). Class Football (1), (2). Class Base- ball (1), (2); Captain (2). Class Basketball (1). Class Track (1), (2); Manager (1), (2). Class President (2). Editor of Sophomore Calendars. Cue and Quill (1), (2), (3). T. S. Club. Of- ficers Club. Plattsburg O. T. S., 1918. Second Lieutenant, Infantry, U. S. A., stationed at Emory University, Oxford, Ga. Honor Group (1), (2). Presbyterian. Republican. Politics. Should any one inquire who the laziest man at Muhlenberg is, the responses would agree : ‘ ‘ Tiny. ’ ’ If ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ would ever have the ambition to get up for breakfast, we would witness the beginning of the millen- ium. When ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ was a Freshman, he was quite ambitious and thot it a crime to go to class unprepared. But since he has re- ceived three years of a college education, his ardor in this respect has been somewhat dampened. Both last year and this year ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ has been one of the mainstays of the basketball team. ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ is one of these in- different boys who has yet to see “the only girl. ’ ’ But passing on to more serious things, ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ is a man who can be depended upon. And last, but not least, ‘ ‘ Tiny ’ ’ is one of our honor men and 1920 is proud of him. 43

MUfAR RG Earl S. Erb East Greenville, Pa. ‘ ‘ Legs ’ ’ Born at East Greenville, Pa., March 4, 1899. Prepared at Perkiomen School. Entered Muhlen- berg, 1916. Classical Course. Delta Theta. Assistant Business Manager, Muhlenberg Weekly (3). Assistant Business Manager, 1920 Ciarla. St a dent Council (3); Secretary. Varsity Track; “M” man (2) ; Captain. Holder of College 88.) yd. record.

C. Lutheran. Demo- crat. Ministry. Three years ago Erb came to us fresh from the greens of East Greenville, a stu- dious lad, with long legs and a reputation of knowing how to use them. But time an ! an industrious summer spent in Saylorsburg have made many changes ; no longer is he the quiet fellow who never expresses his opinion unless it is asked for; but he is now a busy member of the Weekly staff. In addition to making the cross country and track teams, he has even developed into a football and basketball star, winning his “ M ” in the latter two activities. We expect much from Erb in his senior year both scho- lastically and athletically, and look forward to his being a success in future life. Richard R. Gates 723 Chestnut Street, Lebanon, Pa. ‘ ‘ Cutie 9 ' Born at Lebanon, Pa., April 2, 1901. Prepared at Lebanon High School. Entered Muhlenberg, 1916. Classical Course. Phi Kappa Tau. Stu- dent Council (3). Tennis Manager (3). Asso- ciate Editor, 1920 Ciarla. Class Football (2), (3). Class Basketball (2), (3). Class Baseball (2). Class Tennis (2). Class Historian. Clasi Secretary (2). Freshman and Sophomore Honor Groups. Lutheran. Republican. Medicine. The curtain rises! With a hallowed and divine Light shining from above as his guid- ing star, a youth, formerly unknown to the audience of the world, for the first time steps into view. Fair to behold and of untold knowledge, he chants his wondrous refrain, ‘ ‘ O Light of my life, would that I were with thee now ! ’ ’ — This, friends, is Cutie, small in stature but mighty in abilities. In years he is the smallest, but in scholastic standing he ranks among the best. During the last two years he has even won for himself the reputation of an athlete, for did he not star in both class football and basketball and win honors in the Pagan-Minister struggle 1 !’ But speaking seriously, Dick is one of our best, hardest-working students, and he is bound to succeed, for success surely comes to him who perseveres. 42

Freeland L. Hemmig Mohnton, Pa. “Shorty,” “ Ilemmy” Born at Mohnton, Pa., Dec. 13, 1898. Pro pared at Mohnton High School. Entered Muh- lenberg, 191 G. Classical Course. Delta Theta. Associate Editor, 1920 Ciarla. Track Manager (3). Junior Representative to Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Union. Class Basketball (2), (3). Class Baseball (2). Class Football (2), (3). Berks County Club. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Muh- lenberg S. A. T. C. Lutheran. Republican. Min istry. Who is this small but well-built fellow who is constantly spreading his smile and good c-heer to all with whom he associates? Why that ' s Hemmig, “ Spitzewetterich Wolle- graut. ” When we came to college three years ago and first became acquainted with him, we thot him a quiet, unassuming indi- vidual. But we’ve found outer appearances to be very deceitful. He laid his scholastic foundation firm in his first two years and then started taking a more active part in college activities. Even now he is manager of what is destined to be one of Muhlen- berg’s most famous track teams. Although till recently Hemmig was a professed bach- elor, there are rumors that certain nights are no longer spent in the dreary toil of study. But time will tell! Bachelors are not so numerous. W. Chester Hill Vandergrift, Pa. ‘ ‘ Chet ’ ’ Born at Vandergrift, Pa., July 22, 1890. Pre- pared at Vandergrift High School. Entered Muh lenberg, 1916. Classical Course. Alpha Tau Omega. Scrub Football (1), (2). Glee Club (2), (3); Press Correspondent (3); Quartette (3); Mandolin Club (2), (3); Skit (3 ). Rusty Five (2), (3). Track Squad (1), (2). Y. M. C. A. Treasurer (3). Class Football (1), (2), (31. Class Secretary (1). Class Vice-President (2). Cue and Quill (1), (2), (3); Vice-President (2); Treasurer (3). Knutte Klub. WOTA Club. T. S. Club. Officers Club. Plattsburg O. T. S., 1918. Second Lieutenant, Field Artillery, U. S. A., stationed at Camp Taylor. Lutheran. Democrat. Ministry. “Chet” is one of the most popular men of the class of 1920. As treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. he is a tireless and faithful worker. The fact that he was working at the Trojan Powder Works last year was no ex- cuse for the continual presence of powder on his coat lapel. Hill is always eager to ar- range parties on Glee Club trips. But one night after seeing a fair damsel to her home, he discovered that the only place within the limits of his pocketbook to spend the night was the police station. So “Chet” spent his first and last (?) night in a police sta- tion. It seems peculiar that such a serious minded man as Chet should be deeply inter- ested in the jewelry stores of Allentown. I wonder why? 44
