CLAUDE G. AIKENS Selinsgrove, Pa. Susquehanna Academy; Fresh- man Prize Highest Average ; Var- sity Basketball, ' 09- ' 10; Sub Var- sity Football ' 10; Business Mgr. Lanthorn ; Vice President Athletic Board ; Scientific ; Medicine. ' Bump , Kid Ti ' -v liainnj his father va horn before him. ' ■ ' Bump is a wonderful kid . He is a great admirer of the fair ones, especially those of Harrisburg, where he Grabers quite often. The one marked feature of this young man is the wonderful power he has over the Profs, especially his father, whom he has blufl ' ed to a standstill. Bump has become quite a popular little basket ball player, and certainly has made good along this line. If you can ' t tind him in class, you will no doubt find him loitering on the campus smoking his pipe. The class of 191 1 certainly is proud of this little fellow, as he is the Bus. Mgr. of the Journal : we can only say that he deserves the highest praise that can be given him in his faithful work. We here leave him to the care of his parents for a few years }-et, but expect many things of him in the years that are yet to come. ' JJliat the Sam Hill ' s flic matter
