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.

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

' WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 25 JAY BERNARD ANGEVENE ' Angie, Ange, Venus jay Bernard Angevene, Gargoyle, Alpha Zeta Alpha, was born in Highland, N. Y., May 21, 1890, the eldest of four children. His father, Jay Ferris Angevene, died in 1906 at Cornwall, N. Y. Angie had a varied career at the Highland and Poughkeepsie High Schools, where he was captain or a member of almost every team. As Angie was unmarried his first year, and confined himself to captaining the Class debating team, he was not very well known to his Class or to the College. His second year, however, he played on the Class football team, ran on the Class relay and trackteams, and made a VV on the Varsity relay. Since then he has contin- ually gained new honors. His first two years' activity made him a Varsity Debater, and finally Manager of the Debating Teams. Another form of his endeavors is shown by his own statement that losing out in the 'Record Competition' was the most un- pleasant event of his College course , but a slight compensation in the form of an election to the Gul Board was given him the next year. The Good Government Club and some of its committees have shared his spare moments, along with several other organiza- tions. As Superintendent of the c Braytonville Sunday School Sen- . ior year, he has stamped himself as a man interested in the deeper things of life. And one could hardly see Ange without ap- preciating this. He is earnest in all he does, and yet not at all sober. His roommates claim ' he has brains, and others in the Class also think so, for he received twelve votes for the man from the ranks of 1911 most likely to succeed. We all had a chance to hear his impassion- ed oratory in debates, but few can say to what heights Angie rose as a Democratic stump speaker. At any rate, if that opportunity was denied us, we have had many and better ones to know the man himself, and those who have taken advantage of them know a genial, purpose- ful man.
