Mgr., 4 ; Sec. Senior Class. Dear Mr. Clemens: I see that you have distinguished yourself in athletics. But what happened at that Mt. Ayr game? Do you think, if I had been so careless in my battle with the Numidian lion, I would be personifying strength as I do today ? Be careful, my son, do not be overconfident. Consider your opponent as strong and capable as you and you will always tight your hardest and win over them all. Hercules. JAMES DOBE -Newman Club, 3, 4, Exec.

My works seem as nothing compared with the engineering wonders of the twentieth century. But if my statistics were the beginning of them I am satisfied. 1 sincerely hope that you will be able to read this letter. Unfortunately, I never learned to write legibly. Perhaps some day you will solve a great engineering problem. Work dili¬ gently and you should succeed. But above all be sure to write legibly. Leonardo da Vinci.

Comm., 4; Football. 4: I-M Basketball, 4; Baseball, 4; Acolyte Club, 4; Yearbook Staff, Club Ed., 4; Monogram Club, 4. Dear Mr. Gaynor: I find that a dominant trait of your personality is the love of a good joke. A jolly physician is liked by all his patients. You should be a success if you learn thoroughly the work of your profession. A successful physician is a happy man, so strive for this success. I suggest that you make it a rule that no one relate any jokes while you are operating. The reason you can guess. Galen.

SENIOR STEPHEN BARRY—Transfer, Notre Dame High, Chatta¬ nooga, Tenn. Newman Club, Vice-Pres., 4; Play, 4: Glee Club, Pres., 4; College Band and Orchestra, 4; Yearbook Editor, 4. Dear Mr. Barry : I hope this important bit of admonition may be of use to you. Temporary failures are many. Nevertheless, do not be discour¬ aged. Always keep trying. You have excelled in modern jazz more than in my class of music. But please, my dear sir, do not ever take one of my fugues and set it to boogie-woogie, as is often done; because artists do, as you say, “turn over in their graves at such times. Johann Sebastian Bach. JOHN BRUCE—Transfer, Rensselaer High, Rensselaer, Ind. Day student. Dear Mr. Bruce: This letter—I am at Joss as to how you will accept it. I assume you have met some of the propositionswhich I formulated. You may have floundered on some so you may wish anything but a letter from the man who caused you such trouble. But perhaps you will still accept some advice. Remember the field which you have chosen is unlimited. Therefore, go forth and make the best of this opportunity. Euclid. FRANK CLARK—Transfer, Visitation High, Detroit, Mich. Newman Club, Exec. Comm., 4; Play, 4; I-M Basketball, 2, 4: I-M Baseball, 2: Acolyte Club, 4: Yearbook Staff, Local Editor, 4 ; Treasurer of Senior Class. Dear Mr. Clark: The life of a financier is exciting. You must be speculative— for who has seen a financier who isn’t?—but do not be wildly so. If you possess talent, your reward will be a life of ease in your old age. But do not ever become as rich as I was. For, instead of saying “As rich as Croesus” people will say “as rich as Frank Clark”! Then when I meet you I will be forced to avenge myself. Croesus.

SENIOR VESTER LENZEN -Transfer, Greencastle High, Greencastle, Ind. Newman Club, 4; I-M Basketball, 4; Glee Club, 4; Mid-term Collegian. Dear Mr. Lenzen: If you wish to become a physician bear always in mind: To a physician are entrusted the lives of his patients. You are not a bad-looking man, Lenzen. Some time some dowager may begin making frequent visits to your office complaining of her ills, her real reason being to talk to you. Do not waste time with such hypochondriacs. Always be as available as possible. Hippocrates. RICHARD—McDEVITT—Transfer, Horace Mann High, Gary, Ind. Newman Club, Exec. Comm., 4: Play, 4; Glee Club, 4; Clubroom Mgr., 4: I-M Basketball, 4; Acolyte Club, 4; Dear Mr. McDevitt: You have chosen a profession which ranks high in the estima¬ tion of all men. To see a good play is to experience one of life ' s greatest pleasures. Not only will you entertain your fellotv men, but you will also bring them to the realization of some of the unseen truths of life. Judging from your experience with ghosts in your remarkable stage success, “Siftin ' Pretty,” you should some day make a fine Hamlet! I shall eagerly await that da} 7 . Shakespeare. JOHN O ' DONNELL -Transfer, St. Peter ' s High, Mansfield. Ohio. Newman Club, Exec. Comm., 4; Play, 4; I-M Basketball, 4: I-M Baseball, 4. Dear Mr. O’Donnell: You are to be a servant of the people in your practice of law. They will rely upon you; they will trust you. You must at all times be aware of this responsibility. A warning to you! Do not be swayed by the wink of an eye from a singularly attractive lady on the witness stand. You may have to change your ways a bit to achieve this; nevertheless, strive toward it! Solon. FORTY-EIGHT
