I. in his early youth and amused himself by collecting counter- signs from the Subs. His greatest am- bition is to hook lightening bugs on chairs to make motor cars, and give entertain- ments for the instruction of Polk Miller in the art of banjo playing. After three years of good intentions, he has bloomed into a fvill-fledged calics- man. Dutch has matured greatly in four years, grown a beard and learned to say Ding bust and Hing it to dinks and make a zip occasionally. He ' ll be playing cards and smoking cigarettes next.

Better late than never. Pots . Sonnix . Sunny Jim , Adonis . The wizzard of the slide rule, erratic genius, poli- tician, magician, musician, philo-opher, pessimist, orator and actor. The above many titled wonder is to be employed liy the Art Students ' League next winter to pose as a fishing worm. Pots is long, lanky and fair; slow of foot, as shown by A Companj-s ' delinquency book, and likes to talk whenever he gets a chance. His favor- ite occupation is to gather in some innocent second classman and expound to him the logarithmic theory of the slide rule. Loves to serenade his slum- bering (?) room-mates on the mandolin, much to their disgust. Has tried to start a sewing circle, Init still remains the only member. Has a wonder- ful gift of oratory and may be seen in 62 at any time loudly discussing Institute politics accompanied by wild gesticulations. No question has ever arisen that this genius has not thoroughh ' explained to the complete satis- faction of — himself. Has a ten- dancy to get on his dignity when angry, much to the amusement of others. Going to breakfast Pots? No !! Private B Co. ( ' 05) ; A Co.

I. with the full intention of making a name for himself. That he has succeeded it is needless to say. As a breaker of hearts he has no equal. The girls all speak of him as That fascinating Mr. Donnan who swings his arm so gracefully at parade. Though once told by a fortune teller that he had a duo-personal- ity, his friends insist on a mistake, as two faces could not be hung on his pinshaped cranium; is very blase when it comes to hops and calics, and never blushes; stands in with the old folks. Because of his excel- lence in pronunciation, he is used as a dictionary by his friends. Has high hope.s of sometime becoming a speed counter at the General Electric Company.
