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

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

EDWARD HENRY JACOB, JR. West Chester, Pa. Filtered—Fall 1920. I'nion, (S); Parliamentary (S): Rustic (S); Brown White Board (S): Member of Student Coun- cil (S). Secretary (S): (Jym Leader (S); Pin Committee (1): Second Soccer Team (S): Class Soccer Team (S): Third Rank Skating (1);. Second Rank Skating (S), Numerals (S): First Rank Skating (S), Insignia (S). French Circle (S): Tree Committee (S). Dartmouth. Characteristic: Pocket Comb. “Order is nature's beauty. BUT what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Yea, I say unto you, all that have ye seen and even more if ye have found the Right Honourable Edward H. Jacob, Jr., for Jake is one of these modish fellows who believe in less dressing. In other words, Jake is always faultlessly and spotlessly adorned with stylish clothes. Jake's athletic talents (?) show to the best advantage in skating, and he is mighty HANK in that. In fact he has passed through all the varying degrees of rankness, and now, with one or two others, he is the rankiest skater in school With that hair of his, Jake couldn’t help being a musician, but he would be a better fiddler if he violinerated more and combed that marvelous hair a little less. But still if he keeps on improving as he has been recently, he will be able to play a scale in harmonic-melodic G. minor by the time he is one hundred years old. JUNE LEVERING The Hollow, Virginia Filtered—Full 1919. Head of School in Scholarship (2): Athenians (2); Second Prize Peace F.ssay (I): (S); Decorat- ing Committee for Class Day li: Class Hockey Team (1): I'nion (1). (S); Home Kconomics (1). (S), Secretary (S); Comitia (S). Treasurer (S): Treasure Seekers (S): Valedic- torian Committee (S). Characteristic: Megaphone. Virtue is like a rich stone—best plain set. THE rhyme about the farmer’s wife cutting off the tail of the mouse with a carving knife will never hold true in this case, for June is far too quiet a mouse to venture forth very far from her hole. But ii is the quiet mouse which accomplishes the most Whilst she has been loitering in her sequestered nook she has been far from idle. She has even learned to juggle the Eng- lish language and make it come out right every time. She is assuredly cut out to be a lawyer, because if her first trial of a thing does not succeed, she starts all over again. And as we have been assured that following this “'Fry again ’ motto leads to success, we expect to see this mouse come out of her hole sometime and try to follow her namesake, the June-bug, to the moon.
