After bidding d’gang s’long, “Goimany” depart- ed for Kingston, leaving in his wake many a broken- hearted thirty-third street belle. Once clear of the tall buildings and elevateds, he proceeded to revolutionize the bacteriological world. Bacteria and their relation to the human “physiognomy” is his favorite topic, and if you wish to start a real debate, just uphold opposite views. In the Fall and Spring, the Goiman can be seen prancing up and down the gridiron and diamond re- spectively. He likes football, but the call of the dia niond is his particular failing as attested by his ntag- nificient (?) pitchin’-arm, which has fooled many an ambitious slugger in the Frat. League. 2 T A Pawtucket, R. I. Home Economics Vice-President of 1917 (1), (2); Sec. of Y. W. C. A. (2) ; 1917 Grist Board (3). Where there ' s Hope — there’s life! From the first, 1917 has had a loyal supporter in Hope. Even the wearing of a red ribbon on a salmon-pink gown, did not daunt her. Like Lauder, Hope believes that it ' s nice to get up in the morning but — ! Since entering R. 1. she has taken a prominent part in the social life of the college, but these activities have not interfered with her studies. Nature studies attract Hope and she elects several hours in Campus Lab” with one who is a Hawk-in (and here let’s borrow from the German)- es. The future seems to point toward a practical appli- cation of her chosen course. James Andrew Clarke, B4 Providence, R.

However, the capabilities of this disciple of Hoyle are not limited to the mere ability to solve problems of probability, for he is equally proficient in propound- ing theories pertaining to any of the conceivable bran- ches of art and science. His diminutive stature has been his constant source of despair, for it has been a prominent factor in his lack of confidence relative to his associations with the residents of Davis Hall. 22

Rhode Island jSfate Colle ge] Arnold Ames, 0 X Westerly, R. I. ’’Skeete” Runny Electrical Engineering Color Guard in Battalion. Skeete, better known to his closer associates as Bunny, was born in the farming districts of Wester- ly. His dislike for the Aggie’ ' life is merely a case of enough’s enough.” Two o’clock in the morning is a trifle early for a man of mathematical instincts to subject himself to even if the Calc” prof does keep a cow. At this point it might be said that “Runny pasted Tip’s ca ' .c course for an average of 99% or bet- ter. Resides these achievements, ’’Skeete has ambi- tions of becoming major of the battalion. Just now he is working hard to oust the drum carrier from his job. “Skeete” is just a plain unassuming chap. He is cap- able of recognizing a joke and is not immune from slip- ing one over on the next fellow. You may think he is a woman hater but listen — he loves a lady who ' s an angel in his eyes and who is as pretty as the goddess of sunshine. J. Gordon Anderson, Westerly, R. I. ’’Andy’’ J. Gordon Doctor Applied Science Just because he spent a few years in Scotland Andy claims to be Scotch. He does look funny as lie pikes across the campus, hatless ard with that long overcoat flapping in the wind. These trips he makes frequently to feed and water his bugs” in the Bac’ lab. He takes good care of them and they love him dearly. Even though he does spend most of his time squinting through a mic” or poring over Menda’.s theories, his ambition is to be Major of the batallion. Andy has his eyes closed to the ladies— on the campus He likes singing however, and insists that any four College men make a quartette.

Dick’’ Electrical Engineering “Dick” just blew into Kingston with the rest of the green ones that came to college in the fall of 1913. Bridgewater gave a sigh of relief when his pocket edition of a Roman Gladiator left his home town, for no rough house was ever complete without Dick.” His smile and good nature has made him a friend of all. “Dick” would gladly give you his last five dollars and then write home for another five spot. In fact, 1 is reputation as a great writer was earned in this way. He is taking the Electrical Engineering course, but it is hard to say what he is studying. However, he has put away childish things and devotes his time to cal- culus. descriptive geometry and the great national in- door sport. 21

With anguish we admit that Harry is a chef d ' oeuvre,— an achievement; High Chief of this volume, dilettante in literature, the reference book, artistic criticism, Sat- urday Evening Post, soup-ladling, and electricity. He ponderously assures us that Wakefield is no more. Condolence. Harry, did she can you too?

Nevertheless, we arc main that should the college start a Mandolin C’ub, or a long distance-let- ter writing Club, he would rapily rise to fame We might mention that he has already achieved not a little distinction in the latter. Why such long letters invari- ably leave Kingston every night for Wethersfield is somewhat of a question. We know of but one cause for this voluminous correspondence, and that is Leslie Lincoln Dunham, © X Brockton, Mass. “Les” Agriculture Class Football (1) ; Manager (1); Class Basketball (1).
