lr .Y I Y i Mi M Atlasssr.-easwfvri - A- - Y li 'nur CHARLES L. FOX PHILOPHRONEA Lamont was born in Ohio in the month of February. He came to Otterbein as a member of the Freshman class of 1916. Right merrily he stepped out as a basket shooter on the famous O. C. quintet of that year, and won for himself not only a position on that particular team, but a high place in Otterbeins basketball annals which he has held throughout his entire col- lege course. He has totalled 668 points in four years, some- thing of a record in intercollegiate basketball. After serving at the OfF1cer's Training School at Fort Sheridan, Charley spent last year helping train the S. A. T. C. at Qtterbein. Although naturally gifted he has never been accused of overstudy. Athletic in general, president of his class two years. and presi- dent of the students' C. E., he has done his bit around school. WESTERVILLE, OHIO. LEORA GOCHENOUR CLEIORHETEA The Great Artist First painted a dreary November land- scape scene in Ohio, and on this background introduced the enchanting Miss Leora. The little girl has grown up a faithful student of the Beautiful and will graduate in Art this year. In fact, she spends so much of her time on the fourth floor of Lambert Hall that we don't see much of her anywhere else. Leora has a taste for music also. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club and Choral Society. But any particular talent or bent she may have is overshadowed by her absolute and contagious optimism, No one can resist her hearty laughterg and we know that, in Otterbein or out, she will always be an excellent companion and friend. WESTERVILLE, OHIO. NORRIS W. GRABILL PHILOMATI-IEA The coming Paderewski of the class of 1920 is a native Ohioan, born on a beautiful day in June. And what is so rare as a day in June, unless it be this little Senior himself, with his live feet hve of upper-class dignity? He has distinguished himself on piano and pipe organg to say that a career awaits him is to speak with reserve. A baseball Ou adorns the chest of our doughty hero. Answering the bugle in the spring of '18, Norris was a year in the army with Co. B, 309th Eng., spending most of that time in France. Here he used his knowledge of French to gain a first-hand understanding of the land and peo- ple, and frequent znissives addressed in feminine hand still come from La Belle France.

get at e I Page Twenty-six ETHEL L. EUBANKS CLEIORHETEA Teck First made her bow to this busy state of Ohio along towards the time of year when the turkey has his day. Since then she has become quite accustomed to bowing to audiences charmed by her lovely voice. This is only her third year in Otterbein, but she is receiving a degree in Voice and a diploma in Piano. Last year she won a prize in the Declamation con- test with her Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Ethel has quanti- ties of seniorly dignity, but frequently she has been known to associate with a certain theological Sophomore. Not only by her musical talent but also by her capability when placed in responsible positions and her very inherent goodness, she has pleased us all. JACKSON, OHIO. J. WADE FAUSEY PHILOPHRONEA Who dates back to a torrid day in August when the state of Ohio tallied up one more in her record of population, and the artistic world held its breath in anticipation of another Rembrandt. A born artist-hair and all,-this fine chap has per- severed through years of delay, and comes now to the end of his work in O. C. and the entry into wider lields. During the war Wade served as a member of the U. S. N. R. F., 7th Regi- ment, Great Lakes. An inveterate friend and admirer of the gentler sex, in general, in particular, and in every other Way, his mania for social dates with the fair co-eds has been limited only by their availability and by the number of days in the Week. Fair Weather, fine fellow, throughout your long voyage! GIBSONBURG, OHIO. EMMA JOSEPHINE FOOR PHILALETHEA An Ohio product with the amethyst for her birthstone. Jo has been in Otterbein four years, evolving from an Ordi- nary Freshman into an Extraordinarily Nice Senior. She was sufficiently dignified and awe-inspiring to be elected president of Cochran Hall Association, but in spite of this weighty office she is still her jolly self. As vice-president of the Y. NV. C. A. she has proved a good mixer among girlsg and as a member of the Quiz and Quill she has shown her creative and critical ability in literature. Io prophesies that she will sit behind a teacher's desk ere long, and if her vision comesntrue, we envy those who call her teacher. She has boundless enthus- iasm, and is always ready with appropriate Words for any occasion. - OHIO CITY, OHIO.

Page Twenty-eight RAMEY H. HUBER PHILOMATHEA No one ever accused this aspiring Buckeye of protracted idleness. Since his advent into the world of men on a bright May morning so many years ago, he has been engaged in mak- ing himself indispensable to the world, and to O. C. in recent years. Though rather lavish in his appropriation of class cuts, he has been a genius in getting by, and is reported to have studied a solid hour on several distinct 'occasions from remorse for having so deceived his professors. Besides earning an O in football the past season, Ramey filled efficiently his position as basketball manager. His ability as Editor-in-Chief has held the T. and C. this year to a high standard. He spent some time in the army service at Camp Meade, Virginia. DAYTON, OHIO. GLADYS M. HOWARD PHILALETHEA Ohio was knee-deep in June when Gladys was discovered one eventful day. And ever since she has been just as gay and happy as was that season. Glad always has taken an unusual interest in science for a girl. She was Assistant in elementary chemistry while carrying her own work in the more advanced courses of the subject. She was the successful editor of the 1919 Sibyl. Her marked executive ability has made her the chairman of countless committees and boards, -a sample of her good management being last year's May Morning Break- fast. But, with all this ability, Gladys is one of the most wholesome and well-liked girls in Otterbein, and it seems a shame that we have to give her up. BRYAN, OHIO. . HERBERT MEYERS PHILOMATHEA Herbie hails from the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where, on a fine October day, he launched forth on the course of his three score years and ten. If athletic-effort is of any avail, he bids fair to exceed this limit. No genius, and yet no fool, Herb has plodded faithfully through his four years among us, studying when he had to, bluffing when necessary- all so innocently that only a glimpse of his grades could con- vince him that his offerings had not registered. He has taken a turn at everything in athletics. During his junior year he shared the toils of the S. A. T. C. President of his class and of the Y. M. C. A., Herb is making his last year his busiest. Above all, a jolly good fellow, with a handshake at the right moment. JOHNSTOWN, PENNA.
