Philadelphia, Pa, I lf you are sure that you do not hear a noise behind you, and if you are sure that you are all alone, then look around and you will see joe. The quietest man in the Senior Class, he can hardly ever be located by listening for him, but can usually be found interrogating some member of the faculty on an obscure point. And may we say, that if the point is ob- scure to joe, it is very very obscure to most of the other men in the school. joe first attained fame in the first roll call of the Freshman Class, when the professor pro- ceeded to stutter on the trio of Cohens. From then on, they became landmarks in the school. But quietness hath its reward, for this very virtue gained joe a deserved reputation for wisdom. which has never been disproven.

I Exemplifying the City of Brotherly Love, jack has been a steady commuter to Col-- lege Hall. He always managed to arrive in the nick of time for classes, but after class, nothing could 'tear him away from the suite of rooms near the Senior Lounge. Suffice it to say that jack's good sportmanship was enough to make him welcome at any meeting. Entering the Freshman Class unheralded, he quickly became known through his inspiring performance of the latest in soft-shoe steps at the Freshman Smoker. This act alone was enough to insure his making friends, and it was not long afterwards that Brown and Hur- witz were making the first hesitating taps behind locked doors in an effort to match the nimble jack. Knowing jack's propensities for a good practical joke, we were not surprised to see him one of the ring leaders in devising new methods of embarrassing the more conservative members of the Clinic staff.

CRUSE C-eary, Okla. ln looking over all the members of the Class of l934 we can think of no individual who was able to make friends with the facility of Lyle. He became politician of note in his first year when he was elected treasurer of the class. lt was here that he managed to form the basis for a class treasury which enabled the group to carry on its activities in good style for three years. Any member of the class who didn't pay his dues with dispatch was finally hounded into doing so. Lyle spent the whole summer between his junior and Senior years interning in the College Clinics and with Dr. Vivian in his Chester, Pa., Clinic which gave Lyle quite an edge on his contemporaries. We have heard rumors to the effect that it was not only for knowl- edge along technical lines that Cruse spent that summer in Philadelphia but it may be that there isn't a word of truth in the tale. Lyle states most emphatically that upon graduation he is going back to Oklahoma to practice Optometry. He states lequally vehementlyl that people in the midwest don't wear ten gallon hats or ride cayuses any more. He boasts that here and there one will find a model T Ford in use. Some day we hope to drop in on him and see these wonders for ourselves. 4352: SIXTY Th fee ,ag ., ay,.,, , V s,1rcs1sLm.,1.-A
