Hop Committee (2); Lecture Association (3); Editor Sophomore Beacon (2); Editor Grist (3). Henry’s first glory came when he copped the speak- ing prize with his emotional eloquence at the Fresh- Soph. debate. Ever since then his saturated delivery of taurine ideas has gained him renown and — feeds, the latter as the result of sundry murmurings in the ears of different young wumyen” in the big city. 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? Winfred West DeMay, A A + Wethersfield, Conn. “Win Electrician” Civil Engineering Win has been so busy with transit and tape and with the various other concerns. of a perspective Civil Engineer that he has had little time for other college activities. 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).

After a years easy ( ?) work the doctor became pessi- mistic as to a would be engineer’s future so adopted the harder course of “aggy.” Owing to his football ability “Les” has made his own head-gear which Pridy repairs once a year. He also holds the pipe smoker’s medal for general excellence in blowing smoke rings. Alorg with his cool judgment Les can suddenly trans- form himself into a full fledge rough houser and many times has (Dunham) up. May Success stay with you, Les. 23

(3) ; Vice-President Agricultural Club (3). Dis guy lives on thoity-thoid street. The fardda down ya go d ' tougher dey git, ’n Bart lives in da last house. 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

Spike” “The Works Blondic Applied Science Class Basketball (1), (2); Class Baseball (1), (2); Varsity Track (2); Dramatic Club (1); Soph. Hop Committee (2). “Spike comes from Pawtucket, and is “the works. No argument, he knocks ’em dead. His favorite pas- time is taking tests and knocking them for a goal. Occasionally he pulls a bone and in deep despair goes gunning, at which he is an adept. He is our famous hunter. All this mind you, we don’t have to prove. “Spike” admits it. “Spike also shines well with the ladies, in fact they all fall for him as he maintains an excellent reputation as a fusser” in Pawtucket and down the line. Spike’’ admits he likes “The t ' .reat White Way. Whatever other faults C.eorge may have, no one will accuse him of being a grind or a pessimist. We wish you success. “Spike.” Solomon Fine, J» K P Attleboro, Mass. “Solly” Applied Science Scholarship Honors (1), (2); Class Debate (1); Varsity Debate (1); Sec. Agricultural Club (2); King- ston Prize (2) ; Wood’s Hole Scholarship ( 1 ) : Prohi- bition Essay (2). Yes, the illustrious looking personage at whom you are gazing is our Solly.” Just view his handsome features and then take a long draught of smelling salts. That ought to bring you to. “Sol” wandered into our campus from the Big City” of Attleboro but we don’t hold this against him. “Solly” started to do up the Agricultural course but finding it too easy added the Scientific course to his curriculum. Not being satisfied with this achievement, the boy of original ideas conceived the idea of grad- uating in three years and so expects to leave us in June. Among his many achievements, “Sol” has suc- ceeded in keeping away from Davis Hall. Congratula- tions old man.

In case the original is not recognised, he can be found in the nearest “quiet game or in bed. While “Porky” has made a mark as a mathematician, he al- ways gives the number seven and one half thoughtful consideration. “Bill” is wonderfully keen on Military- work : said work consists of excusing cuts. At one time. Bill was athletically itic’incd but that meant hard work— enough said. As for being a joy to the Profs, “Porky” gave them much amusement for very- few bothered to give him finals in their courses, but when his ideas conflicted with theirs — ask C. Lester and Marshall H. This Aggie is taking the Civil Course and unless he is caught with five acres, he should finish well with the leaders of 1917. 24
