Song Committee (S). Characteristic: Goat (Easy to Get). “Age cannot wither her.’ From the Land of Sky-Blue Waters, They brought a captive maid WHEN we hear this, we know that Harry’s around, for her voice and guitar can always make this or any song—beautiful. If you ever get into any difficulty or get homesick, just let Harry know, and she’ll always help you out. That's the kind of a girl she is. .Just notice Harry’s eyes sometimes! When she was about three she said to her Mother, “Katie has such pretty eyes! and we agree with this idea. Harry’s a dandy sport, too, and for entertainment at a party she is willing to masquerade as—well, even a fool, 1 guess- It always takes some peo- ple like that—unselfish folks—to make up the world.

Characteristic: Egg Beater (A good mixer). tfA perfeci woman, nobly planned to comfort, cherish and command.” WHAT is Hnrtzie’s chief characteristic? Well, I think it is her democratic spirit. There's nothing that she couldn’t do with the help of her determination; and there is nobody in the world that she would turn away from if she saw a chance to help. This is the girl who has faced life as it is, and has found something to carry her along. When you see the twinkle in her eyes, you may have no idea what she is thinking about nor what she is planning. She is always rushed with her work. She evidently believes that to he of use in the world is the only way to he happy, and what she does, she does quickly. When you hear, “Well, I’m afraid that-------- you know it is settled without question. Page 21

ALFRED WOOD HAINES Waring Road, Elkins Park, Pa. Entered—Pall 1919. Briglitonian ; (2): H'idio (2). (1): (S):. Treasurer (2). Viet President (1), President (S): Parliamentary (1).

Characteristic: Tin Soldier. “We'll see what cates you have— For soldiers' stomachs always serve them well.'' SPEED—that’s “Ally” in one word. lie’s fast all right—when he’s in his auto. When he is in school. Ally and his allies are inclined to he uproarious, his lo- cation in the dining room is always evident from the hearty laugh inspired by his humor (?). Docs he ever sit still on the Senior porch to enjoy nature? Yes, but it’s always human nature; his train- ing on Natural History seemed to lie in the same direc- tion. Nevertheless, Ally’s business head has been a boon to this Year Book, as well as to the Brown and White. Here’s hoping that Ally's speedy ways won’t bring his career to an early end. ROBERT LEE HAINES 54 East Main Street, Moorestown, N. J. Entered—Fall 1919. Brightonians (2): Kustie (2); (1). S): Parliamentary (1). (S): Union (1). (S); Natural Ilistorv Committee (S); Student Council (2); Secretary. Stu- dent Bodv (1): Year Book Board S): Assistant Manager Soccer ( f); Second Hank Skating (1): Class President (1); Triangle (1). (S). Characteristic: Compass. True as the needle to the pole— Or as the dial to the sun.” BOR,.......Feedle,” or “Prof.” are three of Haines’ nick- names, a lack of which lu will never sec. Each cognomen apparently comes from one of Bob’s hobbies. “Teedle” has been known to chase a beetle for a mile or more. When he captures a pet, he cages it up in a cyanide jar for future study. “Prof.” is a cynic who watches a good base hall game drowsily, and after a home run has been made, comments on the good exer- cise to he obtained from running around the diamond. But in reality this is merely a pose calculated to excite the base ball fans to argument. The rest of the time lie is “Bobbing” up in our groups to settle an argument with conclusive facts. Page 20

MERRILL LUCAS HUNT 3H6 J3th St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Filtered—Fall 191J). Hriglitoniuns (2): I’nion (S): l arli:«- inentary (S); K i lio (2). ( 1 . (S); Rustle ( ),(!)• li lirm ui Busin ss Committee, K iclio 1 ) : Second Team Basket Ball (S): Prophecy Committee (S). Characteristic: Spoon. “Be greatly cautious of your sliding heart ' WHKN the wall shakes as though it would fall and the books fall off vour desk, and vour Geometry liiru re is ruined by a great upheaval, just as it nears completum; then you know that Hiatt's abroad and ruffling some Senior's dignity. If Hiatt would play soc- cer, maybe he would use up his fall pep to better ad- vantage. At any rate, there are fewer rough houses when he gets into the swing of basket hall and tennis He’s another of those who cultivate the enlivening game of rook at odd moments; and the odd moments are numerous with him. His violin helps keep the fellows in tune on the Alma Mater, and on other rare occa- sions he produces anything requested from jazz to opera selections. DANIEL EUGENE HOUGHTON West town, Pa. Filtered--Full 1910. Prightoniaus (2): Parliamentary (1). S): Treasurer (S): I’nion S): Chairman Pieture Commit tee (S); Third Hank Skating (S). University of Pennsylvania. Characteristic: Common Sense Shoe. ‘‘Of plain, sound sense, life’s current coin is made. TV X isn't a girl even though he does go shopping a lot. But Dan used the shop to turn out such com- plicated articles as bird houses and mouse traps. In fact, be is so expert that some day when he is design- ing a necktie rack we will hear him whistling, say, “It would bewilder any man but Danny Houghton, any man but me. Dan has gotten interested in astronomy recently and we hear that he examined Cannis Major carefully during Spring Vacation. Dan's morals arc not all they ought to he, for he likes shocking things. He and a couple of other f----Is took a shock from a loaded Leyden jar over in the Physics Lah. The Lev out of the jar must have entered their systems because they said that it was fun. In lessens, Dan has his strong and his weak points. He is pretty good at solving Geometry originals, hut hevings hough he duz spel.” Page 22
