32 THE 'TARGET History of the 1907 Class-Continued ORR, another new man, who is ever called Swede,7' is our .senator from Michigan City, Ind. He is quite ta boy for the girls and lives in hope of soon going to Ferry Hall. PATTON, the class airship, sailed in here one day from Grand Rapids, Mich. He at once started to tell us his family history, and before half an hour he had us gasping for wind. He has lately cultivated the idea that he is a track man and any afternoon you can see his graceful form flitting around the track. PLATT doesn't live anywhere and is always saying, I'd have got a star if-1 He owns a track suit, and has ambitions in the ath- letic line. REYNOLDS, our model from Lincoln, Neb., is a chubby little boy-, who does great stunts in geometry. He hopes some day to be a doctor. SCHULTZ, who also comes when you whistle, is one of the Chicago boys. VVhen he gets started grinning it 's a case of to the woods for .yours unless you want to play Jonah and the Whale. His specialty is studying, in which he spends all his time. SISSON is another star winner, and is also a star drummer. He makes quite an actress, taking the part of a charming maid in the class play. , THOMPSON expects some day to make stoves at Kalamazoo, Mich., where V he now spends his leisure hours. He is one of hour track men and a member of the Ravenswood coterie. ' VVALLEESTEIN, our sunny southern boy, got lost one day and strayed in here from Paducah, Ky. He is a great baseball pitcher with a record of one strike-out a game. He is also one of our actresses. KAHN, one of Rippling Riemer's neighbors, came from Milwaukee, Wis. He is a quiet boy and naturally there with the Hcahn game. GARDNER, R., our Ravenswood spinort, is our authority on autos. He once started to take a friend out for a ride in one, and when they , were about ten miles from home the machine broke Cso was heb, and they walked home. TOMHAGEN, who also comes from Ravenswood, Ill., is our all-around ath- lete. But he is a very quiet boy and also very obedient, and once when coming back to school left his money on the train because his father told him to make it go as far as possible. IE you want to find anything about the historian, don 't look in the direc- tory, he is not there.

LEGE DING FERT rS Z ON IEN THE TARGET 31 . History of the 1907 Class Y' .. S we reach the end of our second year of existence we are proud Q to look back upon our record. The class from the start has proved that they are not lacking. We have shown that we are the foundation of school spirit, and we certainly showed the - school what class spirit is. Just ask the Freshmen what hap- pened to them in the rushes and the tug-of-war. We have , ,,,, most of the scholarship men and we are represented in every branch of the school. I will endeavor, with the aid of the few clues I have, to give the history of our men. ' BEAR, as his name signifies, the only wild animal we have, traveled here from Decorah, Iowa. He toots a horn in the band and may always be found on his private grounds Csquad ringj. ' DECKER, our studious member, comes from Ivanhoe, somewhere in Illinois. He does great stunts with the scholarship stars, and once in a while runs off with the scholarship medal. DENTON, one of the planets of our class, says he lives in Lake Forest, Ill. But he is quite a boy, always there with the goods, just like 4 a policeman, after the fight. I GOODING, D., our class vice president and the housekeeper of the one who is writing this, comes from the little hamlet of Wausau, Wis. He spends most of his 'time thinking of some one who is not here. He believes in hodags and tries-to make others do the same. GRUNERT, our indoor athlete, is a Chicago lad. He is our class secretary and also one of our actors. He has lately taken to track work and we expect him to hold our colors up in that line. - HAMMOND, more commonly known as Brick Top, '- hails from the little- town of Arbor Vitae, Wis. He is a great one for hunting, always coming back with an empty bag. The rest of his time he spends in sleeping. HEEGE, our class president, is a little of everything. His home is in Yokohama, Japan. He is another of our medal collectors, and has enough scholarship stars to make a cloudy night look bright. He is our leading star with Grunert in the dramatic line. KEITH, G., one of this year's additions to our class, comes from Middle- town, Va. He and his brother, whose sketch appears below, are an exempliiication of the little poem beginning Birds in their little nests agree. - They both try for honors on the Wednesday and Saturday afternoon recreation team. KEITH, J., or Big Keith, came from home so he could fight with his brother. He is one of our actors and also one of our track men.
