PERSONAL A I QREES JOSEPH HENRY ADOLPI-I, A T A, K. C. N., Highland Falls, N. Y. Horn, February 27, 1886, at New Britain, Conn. Prepared at l-lighland Falls High School, entered Institute September, 1903. Treasurer Second Term, Sophomore Year. The Kid. This is one of the species that are found in large numbers in the town of Highland Falls, and are often seen running loose around the 'Tute He was a model boy before com- ing to Troy, but through the influence of the fair sex, he has greatly changed. His spare time is taken up using the 'phone Harry always seems to have a tendency to wander across the Congress Street Bridge. He does not care to mingle with the people of Troy, as long as a certain party remains on the other side of the water, Although influenced by the fair sex he keeps pretty straight and has many friends, If given time he will carry away all the honors at the Institute. EDINARDO MARIO ALBARRAN, B. A., A T A, U. H. A., K. C. N., Havana., Cuba. Born at Havana, Cuba, prepared at Swarthmore Preparatory School, entered the Insti- tute in September, IQOZQ member of Sophomore Banquet Committee. V Ed.-The Boy VVonder. Behold in him, ladies and gentlemen, the living specimen of the Coqueto or Cuban Lady-killer. He came to this country of his own free will, not like Boscow, and it does not cost anything to see him, unless across 'che table over a friendly game. VVhen Ed. came to Troy he was undecided whether to enter the 'Tute or establish a girl's school, till he finally resolved for a middle course and took rooms near the Emma Willa1'd, giving his spare time to Calculus and other worldly things. It is whispered among his friends that he is not quite pleased with his resolutions for he is seen hours at a time in a semi-hypnotic state. It is wagered, at even money that he is either sleeping or that some fair lady is the cause, but those better informed claim that he is thinking deeply and as a result he has given us some inventions. One of these enables him to talk over the 'phone to two or more different places at once Cprovided there be ladies at the other endbg another consists in making birch-beer out of birch trees, but he could not get Professor Rousseau to agree with him, so he has given this one up. If suddenly wakened from one of these reveries he will say: No-o-0 emphatically, but whether he is denying something or merely talking to' himself without caring for an answer, he won't tell. But Ed. has many good qualities and is one of the promising boys of the class: if vou don't believe it ask him. 33
