ARTHUR T. GILLESPIE, B.S. Born at Allentown, October 13, 1901. Allentown High School, 1919. U. of P. B.S. in Economics, U. of P. 1924. Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Sigma Pi, Honorary Debating Fraternity. Arrested as he was on the verge of entering law school by an offer from Muhlenberg, Mr. Gillespie decided to serve the imposed term. Though he has been with us but a few months we feel that his worth as a debater has not been overestimated. He has become very popular with the freshmen who have come in contact with him. His attractive personality, his treasure-house of information and his ready wit make classroom work under him a real pleasure. We are positive that if these same qualities continue to flourish, his career as a lawyer will be brilliantly successful. Lender his able guidance debating rvas again revived at Muhlenberg. He has put two fine teams on the field and we know that his coach- ing is bound to make them successful. The establishing of this line of activity is sufficient proof of his w r orth to Muhlenberg. We feel that Muhlenberg has made a wise selection. CHARLES S. ALLEN, E.E., M.S. Assistant Professor of Physics Born at Bloomsburg, N. J., June 1, 1898. Pre- pared at Phillipsburg and Easton High Schools. E.E., Lafayette College, 1919. Graduate Work, Union University, 1919. Graduate Fellow, 1922- 23. M.S. in E.E., Lafayette College, 1923. Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Phi, Phi Kappa Tau. Mem- ber of American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Elected Assistant Professor of Physics at Muhlen- berg College, 1923. Professor Allen holds sway in the physical laboratory and from what we hear we under- stand that he is making the boys step rather lively. However, the fellows admire this pro- fessor for his treatment of the subject as well as for his handling of the boys. He is ever willing to stop to explain some hard formula and clear away the fogs of incomprehension in the mind of some toiling student. Those who have not yet had the good for- tune to play with the toys in the laboratory have learned to know Professor Allen from contact with him at dinner in the Commons or when strolling across the campus. One of his most noticeable characteristics is his friend- liness toward the boys he meets, whether they are in his department or not. Page Twenty-nine

WILLIAM S. RITTER, B.S. Director of Physical Education OSCAR F. BERNHEIM, A.B. Treasurer, Secretary, and Registrar Born at Allentown, Pa., May 17, 1892. Prepared at Allentown Preparatory School. B.S., Muhlen- berg College, 1916. Alpha Tau Omega. Elected Director of Physical Culture at Muhlenberg, 1919. Bill evidently believes in the theory that might makes right and the survival of the fittest. And to survive his classes one has to be pretty fit. But seriously speaking, para- doxical as it may seem, Bill is a maker of students, for he knows full well the truth be- hind the words, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” His 1-2-3-4 is a symbol of the well rounded curriculum for which Muhlenberg College stands and his stalwart frame is a living example of what can be done with the human anatomy under his care. Teaching is also in his line, for he now conducts classes in the theory of Physical Ed- ucation and in First Aid. With the addition of these classes we feel that Muhlenberg has taken another step forward and under Bill’s able tutorage we know that in the future when we shall be blessed with a new gymnasium that we can expect greater things from him still. Born at Mt. Pleasant, N. C., November 16, 1868. Prepared at Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. A.B., Muhlenberg College, 1892. Alpha Tau Omega. Elected Treasurer and Registrar of Muhlenberg College, 1907. Elected Secretary, 1919. Member of Association of College Registrars. Mr. Bernheim is one of the mainstays of Muhlenger College. He is the gentleman who collects our bills, safeguards the College finances, and (bosses) the dining hall. He is a true type of Muhlenberg man — being contiually about his business and talking little — politics. But then, that subject is now an ‘‘also ran” with Bernie. Mr. Bernheim is now also a happy partici- pant of the college’s recent prosperity. He now has a real honest-to-goodness office of his own, the store and post-office having been moved to the basement of the Ad. building. But with all his work he still finds time to be one of the most loyal supporters of Ath- letics to be found at Muhlenberg College. He never misses a foot-ball game and no mat- ter where the team happens to be we are sure to find “Bernie” there rooting for Berg. Page Twenty-eight

Field Secretary; Graduate Manager of Athletics Born at Bedminster, Bucks County, Pa., Novem- ber 29, 1891. Prepared at Quakertown High School and Williamson Trade School. Ph.B., Muh- lenberg College, 1916. Alpha Tau Omega. Elected Instructor in the Department of Natural and Ap- plied Science, 1917. M.S., Muhlenberg College, 1919. Elected Field Secretary, 1921. Guerney is one of the most optimistic men at Muhlenberg. If you want proof just glance at the foot-ball schedules of the past three years and you will find that Guerney did not pick a bed of ease for his team. Always be- fore a big game you will hear Guerney express- ing his confidence in the team’s success. Per- haps it is a good rule in foot-ball to adhere to this principle of “Nothing venture, noth- ing gain,” for Muhlenberg has come into the lime-light on the gridiron. As field secretary Guerney has at tongue’s end all the merits of his college. He has been practicing a considerable amount of successful advertising. During the campaign, too, Mr. Afflerbach took an active part. In fact, he has not yet completed his work in this con- nection. He is still busy handling the funds. We heard last year that Guerney and the president went on a thousand-mile trip through Pennsylvania presenting the cause of Greater Muhlenberg. JOHN CHARLES RAUSCH Superintendent of Bu ldings aeid Grounds Born at Philadelphia, June 21, 1867. Prepared at Allentown, 1882-86. A.B., Muhlenberg College, 1890. Mt. Airy Seminary, 1893. Ordained, 1893. Pastor St. Johannes Kirche, Philadelphia; West Hazleton ; St. Luke’s, Allentown, for 30 years. D.D., Muhlenberg College, 1915. Built Dormi- tories E, F, G, and Treasurer’s House. Allentown School Board, 6 years. Built High School and sev- eral churches. Secretary Grounds and Buildings, Muhlenberg College, 1924. Now that Muhlenberg is embarking upon an extensive building program it is necessary for her to have some one to superintend the grounds and buildings. Doctor Rausch has undertaken this important task. We are very glad that he has come to college, for he has left pleasing traces of his work in the dormi- tories and administration building. When we returned from our summer vacation we found that the “dorms” had been freshed up con- siderably. Doctor Rausch takes an interest in the maintenance of good order and tidiness on the campus. At present Doctor Rausch is very busily enaged in supervising the construction of the science building. If you do not find him ex- amining the work or giving instructions con- cerning the operations, you may locate him at the office of the architect occupied with press- ing business. Page Thirty
