I ' lIVSICAI. TRAIXIXC Sir, your wit ambles well, it goes easily. — Shakespeare. R. S. WAMBOLD, A.B., Physical Director for Men This is our . cliille . It is said that lie j fained his superhuman strenjrth by a carefully regulated diet, consisting chiefly of sauerkraut. Usually we think of the German as being slow, but in this one we have a man quick in wit as well as physical action. He is one of those jocular pon]ilc wlmm tlie fellnus all like and who is respected by all. I ' lIVSlCAL TK.MXIXC. hysical culture is as necessary to the body as food. -Cicero. ' CATHERINE CONKLING THOMAS, Physical Director for Women Miss Tliomas is a wonder. With her interesting games she trans- fiirms the homesick Freshies into contented girls. She reduces the heads of the Sophs to ordinary size by means of head fle.xure exercises. Ikr dumb-bell exercises develop the muscles of the Jvmiors and makii them strong warriors. By lu-r magical wand she transforms the Seniors into peaceable creatures. MOXHV It you make money your god it will plague you like the LVt]. — Fielding. W. O. BAKER, Secretary ami Treasurer .Mr. liaker came to (Jtterbein at the dispersion if the Jews and has Imn lure ever since. Every student, past, present, and future, knows him. I ' lven the fathers at home are occasionally reminded of l..s ex- istence by his Please remit letters. If a penny once gets into his grasp you may as well say farewell to it forever. 1 !-: I-; X c 1 1 I. a ' ie est un combat. — . Icriince. ALZO PIERRE ROSSELOT, A.M., Professor of Romance Languages and Literature This frenchman ' s special distinction is in keeping his class awake. lU- paces the floor like a caged lion and is bluffed just about as easily. Ill- always was a shark at French and there ' s no telling what he will lie when he returns from France, where he is studying in the University of Paris. 24

MUSIC r.ive me some music; music, moody food Of us that trade in love. — Shakespeare. VERNON ELLSWORTH FRIES, Mus,B., Instructor in Piano Every faculty must have its youngest memlier, and this is It (ladies excluded). He is a natural musician. He can play with his right hand, with his left hand, or both at one time. It is even said that when an infant he played with his toes. His favorite students are girls. MUSIC Her step is music and her voice is song. — Bailey. GRACE DENTON, Instructor in Piano and Voice This tall, slim, slick sapling hails from the woodlands (Sylvania) of northern Ohio. ] Iiss Denton is a valuable addition to our social functions, for her singing and playing are always in demand. She dotes on her chaperoning ability, but some of tb.e girls, to be n the safe side, prefer an older head. MUSIC Oh, it came over my ear like the sweet south wind that breathes upon a isank of violets, stealing and giving odor! — Shakespeare. LULU MAY BAKER, A.B., Instructor in Piano Miss Baker is known as a thorough teacher and is well liked by her students. She is spending the year in Berlin, where she is toning down her dignity and also studying under the great German masters. We hope that she will not acquire German customs to the e.xtenr of in- troducing pretzels and after dinner coffee (?) into Otterbein society. MATROX We sail the sea of life; a calm one finds. And one a tempest, and the voyage o er, Death is the quiet haven of us all. — U ' orJszeortI-. ANNA V. ZELLER, Matron of Cochran Hall Just as the Sibyl was ready for press and it was impossible to change the copy, we learned of the death of Iiss Zeller. For five years she has nobly filled her position as matron of Coch- ran Hall. During that time she has made many friends among both the boys and the girls. Although her position was i. dimcult one to rill, she was always kind and had the welfare of all at heart. She will be greatly missed and her place will be hard to fill. — Editor. 23

(§nt Slamtora These pages still would something lack To make their tales complete If naught were said about the men Who serve us all the week. There ' s Hams who through all the year Has dene his duty well; He ' s swept the halls and cleaned the walls. And rung the college bell. In winter when the wind is keen And rooms are cold and drear, Of Mr. Glaze we think at once, Then he ' s the one to cheer. For he ' s the man at the heating plant, And his efforts are unceasing To regulate the temperature, That halls be warm and pleasing. The Association parlors and the Gym Well aired, neat, and clean. Are cared for by our Mr. Moon, For here he is supreme. The Library and Lambert Hall Likewise show work well done. And tho he ' s firm, he ' s very kind And pleasant to every one. We ' ll not forget their usefulness. They ' re obliging, good, and kind. A better lot of janitors ' Twere pretty hard to find. 25
