1920 I 132 Occupying a singular position between the traditional rivals F and H, HG' - . members are undoubtedly capable of discussing all phases of dormitory life- among men. In addition to other prominent members, the House shelters the following: The Sleepless Wonder, Lightning-Effect Expert, Champion Whistler, Daniel Webster ll, lntroducer of the Reed Toddle, State joke Artist and Human Orches- tra, Swiss Constitutionalist, Star Gazing Enthusiast, Swedish Piano Magnate, Ex-Champion Smoker of the U.

Brockway and Gantenbaum is another sorry match, 89
