JOSEPH RUSSELL IRONS, 2X, McDonald. McDonald High School. Cosmopolitan Club. Classical Club. Intercollegiate Debate. Secretary and Treasurer Intercollegiate Oratorical League. President 1913 Owl Board. Joe used to be a proverbial parson’s son. But we are glad to say that he has given up wine, women (particularly women), and song and is following the straight and narrow. He is really quite clever as the faculty notices when lie condescends to conic to class. GEORGE MORRILL KIRK, 2X. Carrick. Merecrsburg. Cheerleader. Cap and Gown Club. Glee Club. Classical Club. Y. M. 0. A. George sometimes gets inebriate with the exhuberance of his own verbosity, otherwise he remains perfectly sober. If it were not for him this place would have gone to the bow-wows long ago. George is an up-lifter morally, lets hope lie can keep away from shoplifting, at any rate until lie is ordained. Zowec, who threw the bomb! SAMUEL BLACK McCORMICK, JR., Pittsurgh. Blair Academy. V. M. C. A. Class Vice President. Class Football. Class Baseball. Class Basketball. Used to be a good-natured rough-houser, but since he is associated with George and the Weekly has assumed a reverend look, highly becoming to his irresponsibility. Would like to raise the ‘‘Old Nick if lie dared, but as it is he must set an example of virtue. He does not like advertising but refuses to tell why. In love with four different girls at the same time. 25

 JOHN WALTER FREY, 1 1 22. Avalon. Avalon High School. Cap and down Club. Orchestra. Science Club. The fashion plate of the class. Loves to cut classes and smoke cigarettes. Champion fusser but is in wrong with the Co-eds. Ask him why? Will become a hero some day. But we think he will roll another cigarette first. Maybe two. Loafs with Brand. That’s enough. W. L. G. GIBSON, Pittsburgh. Charterhouse School. 1913 Owl Hoard. The ablest and slowest man in school. Can tell better stories and write better novels than Richard Harding Davis. As it is he shines in Biology. Loves to invent original thought. More of them go to waste in his head than most people know. But it is all to no avail. Owing to his cap Willie is not appreciated. HERBERT W. HALL, Tarentum. Westminster. The handsomest man at the “varsity.” His “Titian locks and cupid’s bow mouth attract the Co-eds so much that Reo” thinks he will soon have to have a body guard. “Reo” shines in Latin—he thinks Pegasus was an old nag compared to his horse. 24

 LILLIAN McINTOSH, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh High School. V. W. C. A. Classical Club. Miss McIntosh docs not believe in “Men's Rights.’’ Site thinks that mere men are nothing but human door mats and believes that they should be put to their use as such. Have you ever noticed the shine on her shoes? BRUCE LAMONT MILLER, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh High School. Curry College. Baseball Class Basketball. Miller doesn’t believe in correspondence, but believes in “getting next,” as Doc Chambers says, so he came to Pitt. He has deceived the general public into thinking he is a woman hater, but we know better. Looks quiet hut you cant always tell. S. ELIZABETH McWILLIAMS, Pittsburgh. Allegheny High School. Presidente !u Ccrcle Francais. This quiet little lady with the golden locks speaks seven different languages. Dr. Harry’s star performer. As president of “Lc Cerclc Krancais” and mainspring of the Italian Society, Elizabeth is the cream of uni versity cosmopolitans. 26
