WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 23 ROBERT POWERS ANDERSON Andy, Bob, Buck Robert Powers Anderson, son of Edmond C. Anderson, was born on January 2, 1890, in Cambridge, Mass. He prepared for Wil- iiams at the Springfield High School, where he graduated in 1907. Most of Andy's time in Chapel has been spent holding down the identicalseat which he occupied Freshman year, not so much from a feeling of sentiment, however, as from a lack of ability to fool the Faculty. His roommate hints that since he gave up his Bible class at White Oaks several hearts are breaking. But breaks of another sort are Andy's favorites. He loves to march down Spring Street airing uncomplimentary remarks about cer- tain members of the Faculty, one of whom, as often as not, is walking right behind him. The cross-country runs have interest- ed him so much that he has often donned a suit and joined the group of hounds, and it is very seldom that he is not fairly up in the ranks when the tired run- ners sight the Gym. As a Math 9 shark, Andy has distinguished himself, though the factthat one of his diversions has been Swatch- ing others worki' would throw suspicion on the sources of his brilliancy. Andy has a good sen- sible view of life, is industrious, and has a saving sense of humor that will help him in his future occupation of teaching. F uture Occupation: Teaching. Address: 122 Amherst Street, Springfield, Mass. rn

S THE cLAss HAROLD STANARD ADAMS wo, Ad, Red Harold Stanard Adams, Theta Delta Chi, was born in Pitts- field, Mass., May 20, l888. ' His father is George S. Adams, president of the john S. Wolfe Co., a wholesale grain house. He prepared for college at the Pittsiield High School, but mod- estly disclaims any activity there. ' Since Wo has been in Billville he has been trying to see the funny side of things, to use his own words, and the Cow, thought his eyes so good that he has been one of those whom she has allowed to-,lead her to pastures new for the last three years. In spite of a sense of humor, Wo is a student, having taken two prizes in his Sophomore year. That he earned a Commencement appointment is sufficient proof of the statement in the preceding sentence. Freshman year Wo played on the College orchestra, and his artistictalents in another direction were shown by the fact that he understudied Harry Biggins as Imogene Parrott in ,Trelawney , and got away with it. But his main amuse- ment has been acting as stage manager for Cap and Bells, and incidentally for onepof the English Department plays. The A , ' Williamstown Opera House is as familiar to him as the Chem- l istry Lab, and as Wo has spe- w cialized in that department it is saying a good deal. Senior year r Wo was a member of the Fresh- man Parade and Hallowe'en Cel- ebration Committees, and his general reputation gave him the position of manager of this book. A habit of strolling about our peaceful 'campus behind a huge l and business-like corncob pipe obtained for him second place in the heavy smokers' depart- ment, and that nine men con- sider him the brightest man, while others hold him good- looking and well-dressed, shows ' that Wo is far from being a nonenity in the Class, for it is the dwell-known ,men who receive votes. 77 Address: 31 Henry Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass.

24 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BCOK FRANCIS LOUDEN ANDREWS Jig, Jigger, Andy Francis Louden Andrews, Phi Sigma Kappa, wasborn on july 111, 1888, in Dalton, Mass. Dr. George Andrews, his father, graduated from Williams with the Class of 1879, and in 1902 took a Ph. D. at Ohio Wesleyan. His brother, Llewellyn Andrews, was a member of 1906. Jigger came to Williams from Dalton High School, where he had been president of the class of 1907, and manager of the baseball team. ,Tigger claims that Williams runs in the family, but three members of the Class think that he never runs, for they voted for him for Laziest' Man. A more accurate knowledge of the object of their votes would probably reverse that decision. For although jigger has a lazy walk and a large, slow smile, combinedlwith a general deliberateness of action, his eyes belie him, and the fact that Jig has scrubbed for the Varsity baseball team for three years gives the lie direct to such imputations. The lazy man who can day after day give up those wonderfully warm spring after- noons to chasing baseballs for a hard-hitting Varsity does not exist. jigger has also won himself a name in Class baseball. Three years lingering about first I H+ base and right field made him captain of the 1911 champion- 1 ship team. His efforts in bas- I ketball were not so appreciated, but many a hot scrub game with I the score at the proverbial 19 to 19 tie has been won by a handy toss from Jigger. Con- tinual association with Cobb, the Class funny man, has given jig somewhat the appearance of a Cheshire cat. His first two years he roomed with Ty, and a good part of the Class is still at a loss to know whether he is still smiling at some of Fred's earlier humor, or in an- ' ticipation of the brilliant sallies still to come. jig, however, has a wit of his own, and his kindly manner and general optimistic outlook on life are, in all probabil- ity, the cause of his cheerfulness.
