WILLIAM T. ROM Electrical Student. A jewel in the rough is Bill. There is something in his tail sparse figure, in his deep set glowing eyes, and, in his willingness to help others that always reminded us of old iiAbef, the emancipator. Approximation is not a part of his makeup. He always worked with untiring effort and paintaking care to get accurate results. No- thing but success awaits you, Billi EDWIN H. LUDWIG Electrical Student A quiet unassuming fellow, earnest in his work and consistent in his attendance throughout the four years. We dorft know what your ambitions are Edwin but if they are attained by perseverance and strict adherance to duties we havenit the least bit of doubt about your ability to succeed.

INTENSIVE ,23 CLASS PROPHESY The Intensive Classes ,23 will be the third group to graduate from the industrial engineering courses. Sixty-two members started in September, 1921, and shortly afterwardielected Earl C. Snow, presiw dent, Theodore Alford, vice-president, and Cecil Smith, secretary. Intensive study, was the slogan from the very first day. All seemed to realize that a proper grounding in fundamentals was essen- tial to a successful finish. Our instructors proved their interest by giving us much time outside of school hours. The first class banquet was held in the O. M. I. lunch room on the eve of Washingtonls Birthday. It was our first chance to become better acquainted, and this association did much to weld the members into a closer fellowship. Several inspection trips were taken to local manufacturing plants, which added variety to our knowledge. For the final year the class ofiicers elected were: A. G. Decatur, president, Warren E. Leavitt, vice-president, and J. A. Roberts, secre- tary. The first banquet of the year was held at the home of Earl Bates, and it proved a success in every way. On February 24 the mechanical and electrical sections ran a test on the O. M. I . power plant under the supervision of Professor Muncy. Several members were forced to drop out of the class during February and March much against their will. The Veterans Bureau Medical Department would not let them continue at a sacrifice to their health. With graduation only a few weeks ahead, we feel grateful to our instructors, and especially to Professor Muncy, for their efforts to inculcate in us true engineering principles and true engineering ideals. ePaul Summers. SOLILOQUY OF A SCHOOL MOUSE. One of the fellows of the class of '21 dropped a small hand mirror in Dr. Muncy's room, and it rolled behind a radiator. On April 1, 1923, a little mouse happened along, and seeing his shadow in the mirror and thinking it was another mouse, spoke thus: Well! hello there, little brother. How did you get in here? I didnt think there was anyone else except Mr. Lehnhoff and me who would venture in this room. Anyway, I am surely glad to see you because this bunch in here now is a grouchy set. I have been with them all the year and know each by name. Do you want me to bell you who they are? See that fellow with a springtime look on his face? Thatls Summers. He had the nerve to tell Dr. Muncy that there could not be two correct answers to a problem. That tall funny looking fellow is Allain. Everytime he says Homegah it sounds so mueh like oatmeal that I almost wish I was back in my old home at Krogerls. That fat fellow is Bates. 1,11 bet you a quarter that before the day is over, he will say something about Appleton, Wisconsin. That little runt next to him is Kupferlc. He forgot himself one day in Steam Power and started talking; about a regenerative set. Therets Price now. That fellow is hard to figure, but I am told that he is not overfond of the girls. By the way, do you want to buy a good twin bed? Mr. Wallace wants to sell one of his so he will not have so much to ship back to Oklahoma. Willis intended to buy it to use as an aerial, but he got W. A. A. D. and decided that his aerial was good enough. Don1t say anything about this, but that next fellow, Mr. Lefevre, has been Writing French notes to the English teacher Did you know that Mr. Wilson won four baby contests when he Was small? Those next two are Mr. Roberts and Mr. Decker. Dr. Muncy put them together so that Decker could talk for Roberts, but he went to sleep on the job. Here comes Snow and Stratman. I surely hope that they send me an invitation to the double wedding. That is Mr. Decatur in the end seat. Boy, you surely ought to see him work some of those hard problems. Right behind him is Englekamp. He is
