I I iw :y , V r , I' 4 , On Tuesday, September 20, 1927, the Engineers celebrated the thirty-fifth an- X Q' niversary of the wedding of our best beloved instructor, Daddy Defoe. i N i Daddy is more than an instructor in mechanicsg he is friend, sympathizer, 'Il l and counselor to every student in the university, but those in the Engineering School M N regard him as their particular property and they guard thc honor jealously. He is ig! has been teaching mechanics to the Engineers for so long that he has become one i: i of their dearest traditions, and in that time he has so enshrined himself in the hearts of his students that they have all striven, whether consciously or uncon- 1 sciously, to emulate the fine example he has set for us in fellowship and character. 1 X The afternoon of his anniversary about seventy-five Engineers assembled at the i l Engineering Building and marched from there to his home to extend their best N wishes. It was entirely a surprise to Professor and Mrs. Defoe and they had no - f fidea of the intentions of the delegation until Earl Schooley, president of the 1 Engineers' Club, presented them with a flowery speech and a beautiful silver I X coffee service. The speech of Schooley's meant nothing, but in the gift the Engi- ig 41 neers tried to convey to Professor and Mrs. Defoe' their happiness on the occasion, 'M and their best wishes for many more anniversaries. il lr I 1. 4 ll 1 I ' 4 v U i The question of the hour, what is it? xl rl l 1 il is w A il 1 ii Page 48 , le it QP 'F md the i i we Ea ,E or or Q K6IQ,gLq,r,, i 'ages' '71, wif Tak f :ff,a,:TWW ' f' V- ,Ma -:gawk

He defeated Schooley by one M X vote and Hagar by two. fx ,N Roland Rudolph Mueneh was born March X 29, 1905 on a farm near Lexington, Lafayette ll N! County, Mo. He was educated in a small coun- H try school room and in the Lexington High School, from which he was graduated in 19241. F Because of the fact that he entered the small ll' school at an odd season, he was forced to take - M the grades in the reverse order of pairs. That is, he took them in the order 2, 1, -11, 3, 6, 5, S, l 1 and 7, which may explain some of his present l phase lag. 1 He is the fourth of five children which is as it should be, except that he should have been . X Q the last. Had he been the first his mother ROLAND MUENCI-1 . , l' would have been so discouraged that he prob- , ably would have been without any brothers and il sisters. His family is fortunate in that none of them resemble him in the least, ex- lll' cept that his father has a red mustache. ll all , THE BLUES Down with the howlers, down with reform! Give 'em tl1c razz and some chloroform. They're a dangerous bunehg they're a. des- ww , . . . l perate crowd, they re howling too often, and howling too loud. N ' Don't lounge in the halls, donlt tell shady jokes. Let's have all lf ll our smokers without any smokes. Break up the paddles, pitching N l pennies is wrong -those are a few of the themes of their song. li! And it isn't a song, it's just a refrain. It's refrain from this 'i again and again. lVherever we go, whatever we do, they always If have some Way of painting things blue. Each thing in tl1e Uni- , verse has its own place, the low and the high are allotted their X l space. Blue in the sky or a pretty girl,'s eyes is nothing at all to il H occasion surprise, but blue as a mood, or painted on laws, is worse f ,, V P 1' than just wrong-it's a homicide cause. il H , I 1 V l A l Page 50 1 1, 'Ln IJ. ,' ,D I 'K ggclqqti V iw ' wif ': f f-fi' Jfiia. fgjif f 'Y ' ' fur-rvlxhg t
