BERTRAM LEE LUTTON College Prep. Ecco Homo-who made the class of 1920 famous! Bert is the type of fellow every one likes to meetfsort of a kindred soul you know -ready to mix in anything, anytime, anywhere and use that glib tongue of his. If you were closely associated with Bert for some time you would conclude that it were good for Edison and other prominent men to have had their say in the aEairs of the day before Bert came. Bert is a Homme de Lettres and if you want to interest him you have to speak philo- sphieally, theoretically, hypnotieally, scientific- ally, and vindietively. If you impress him he may lead you into diseussion of the higher things. This man possesses brains-being rep- resented in the four inter-class debates, Editor of La Perle and Aznpteuiang Class President, Sophomore Yearg Class Editor, Sophomore and Junior Years: VVll1lll'I' of second prize in the Oratorical Uontestg everything exeept president of the Literary Society, fits better to be a eritie anyway, iFn't it'?l Bert 's future ambi- tion is to be a literary man. 'lf you have read any of his worksflj. you will agree with me that his future will be ai sueessful one. We look forward to it. A 1vrP'rnNNIAN, '20 DOUGLAS MAITLAND HUNT The man of brawn now homes before our eyes. He is the bane of all the hapless ones whom he designs to lay his hands upon. Not- withstanding this faet, he is a line friend, and is always willing to lend a hand. He made good use of his weight and size on the basket-ball team, and to this pillar of strength the quintet owes several of its vietories. As chief banker of the class. he has shown himself worthy of our trust and aecounts in better order are rarely to be found. He is somewhat lhy of the fair sex -but who can blame him? As his father 's right hand man in the mercantile -business, he can frequently be seen driving along our streets in a grey, rattling, Ford truck, the Battleship, nhieh was thus ehristened by his friend A.

LEON SAMUEL SMITH College Prep. You now behold Sehmidty-Honorable Presi- dent of the Inseparable Trio. Besides this oiiice he is the able Captain of the I-Iookey Bri- gade. I-Ie sueeeeds in keeping Longie out of school three mornings a week, four and a half afternoons, and has the ability to come to school late five times a week and get excuses, and take ten or twelve students to Allentown on the one o'eloek ear twice a week, when the Movies change. Nothing worries Leon-not even Trig. In fact, when the answers won't behave, he arranges the problems to suit him- self. You should hear Leon speak. He's a wonder. Good Speakers don 't need much prep- aration, so Leon thinks, and he takes a book along on the stage to study before he makes his little speel. Therels nothing like throwing fnow balls and hot air! Despite these petty faults, Leon is a good sport, and we have plenty of proof for it. Anyone who can superintend the building of Longie's ice boat and listen to the chemistry lecture would have to be a. good sport, wouldn't they, Leonil Here's luek from '20. SAMUFL FALL SCHFIREK CU7Ilf'lYl.U?'l tllZ Samuel positively refuses to be vamped. We don,t know whether it is because of his close association with Bert. or because the Laury's folk advised him diIferently-anyway, he hasn 't fallen to any women's wiles. Bert and Sam are pals-real pals, too, not the side-kick kind, but the kind that would lay down his life for CD. Sam is an orator. He participated in the Junior-Senior Class debate in 1919, and was almost the cause of-Victory. As a man of society, Sam was never known to shirk a good time. As a man of studies, Sam showed his ability and the fruits of his labor when he was among the honored students who spoke at Commencement. You should hear Sam and Tooty argue. They discuss anything from 1920 styles to a perambulator and then some. Of eonrse Sam wins. We have tried to -persuade him to be a business man instead of a preacher. He would, of course, be exposed to more ehanc-es of being vamped, but then, oh well-we'd take our hats off to the girl who could do it. Tzuenfy-e1'glLf AMI 'il NNI in

MAR VIN B MCH Here we have him-Marvin Beck, the best all- around athlete of our class. Now Marvie, though strong as you can make them is a very quiet fellow, liked by all his class-mates. The 1920 basket ball team owes much of its success to him. He is a. veritable terror to his opponents -and woe be it to those players who get Marvie's goat in a basket ball game. In his Junior year he strengthened our elais basket ball team. Had Marvin begun to play basket ball in his Freshman year instead of his Junior year, instead of becoming an exeellent basket ball player, he would have become a human wonder in that sport. When Field Day exer- cises are in full swing Beck 's name is always among the winners. As La Perle Athletic Editor he has given us very interesting write- ups. , Whatever may be Beek's aim in life, u'e'll bet dollars to doughnuts that he'1l be sueeesse ful-so everybody give a rip-roaring cheer for the sueeess of our star center, Berk.
