WILLIAMSON SCHOOL 27 PAUL M. ANDERS Worcester, Pa- Bricklayer Born March 24, 1900. Andy, Zeke, Gallons, Hecker, Dewey, Eta Beta Pig Beta Sigma Chi, 6.55 Club: Track Teamg Cottage Baseball, Cottage Basket- ball, Varsity Footballg Captain '20, When Zeke-e laughs so merrily, Although tormenting you, You're cross, you're angry, but You just laugh, too. This young fellow hails from Ander's Corner, by the way, he is the only one who knows just where this place is located. Zeke isn't very much for size, but he can always make his pres- ence felt when in an argument. He has a won- derful vocabulary HJ and certainly can use it under certain conditions. Yes, this good looking fellow is popular with the fair sex, and we all claim he should have been a carpenter because he loves Wood QU. We hope the feeling is mutual. Andy was one of the best athletes at school. He was a member of the track team. This came in handy on 'Sunday evenings, when, after leaving her he had to go a couple of miles in a limited number of minutes. Wherever you found Deivey and Buckl' to- gether you were sure to find a crowd, for there was always a rush for the front row before the comedy began. But, girls, beware of hlm on a passenger train! Shall we ever forget his trip to Annapolis? Ask Zeke, he knows. Andy was a hard worker and upon him we bestow the title Bonus -well earned. We know he will succeed. Luck to you, classmate. ' 'Listen, Jake.

26 THE MECHANIC - PAUL N. ALEXANDER Mt. Joy, Pa. Machinist. Born February 23, 1901. Alex, Paul, Icabod. ' Cottage Baseball '19, Cottage Basketball '19, '20, Reserve Football '20, Reserve Baseball '20, President 6.59 Club, Assistant Basketball Man- ager '20, '21, Sons of Rest, Eta Bita Fruitag Nuts and Bolts. 'Alt is easy enough to be pleasant When life goes along like a song, But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. To the members of the lst A dorm., Alex ' is known as the president of the 6-59 Club. To be frank, Alex admits that he can travel some from the time he gets out of bed 'till the time he sits down at the breakfast table. Notice, kind reader, the gentle features of our classmate. Doesn't he look as though he had enough sleep? Paul comes from the garden spot of the world, Mt. Joy. Personally, we don't think they have any girls up there because he looks like a fellow, who couldn't be tempted by the fair and beautiful opposite sex. But just the same Alex spends a few week-ends every now and then in l Philly. His roomy has enlightened us to the fact that it is a queen. Go to it, Alex, Alex is one of the kind of men whom anyone would like atfirst sight. He has a fine personality and can talk to beat the band. He even has it out with the boss occasionally. As for being a loyal rooter and supporter of athletics, he cannot be barred from congratulations. Paul is well versed in all athletics, knowing the principal rules and regulations of inter-cottage basketball. Paul's favorite drink, even though prohibition has come, is cocoa. He tells us that it has in it the ingredients that help to make a man. Go to it, Alex, have all the feeds after ten you want, but take our advice and order cocoa by the ton, for it would be much cheaper. Paul, you have our wishes to succeed in life, in whatever line of endeavor you choose. Hey, roomy. Well, now listen here.

28 THE MECHANIC DONALD R. AYRES. Northfield, Mass. Agriculturist. Born October 27, 1900. uAg,v1 44Aggie,!r uAgnesu - 'Varsity Track, '19, '20g Class Track, '18, '19, l '20, Cottage Basketballg T. D. U.g Aviation 1 Corps, Glee Clubg Tennis, '20. In many parts there are broken hearts And in one there is sure a fix. But the one to which 'Aggie' always darts Arrives on the 4.56. Aggie when questioned upon his arrival here at school, claimed he was going to study Agi , hence his name. He probably thought he had entered college. A more steady-moving fellow than Ag is hard to find. I-Ie even man- ages to move things he should not. It is almost certain that Agnes is the strongest built fel- low in the hecker section. His' greatest feat is carrying one bale of hay from barn to barn. He has made several attempts to throw the bull, but always gave up with hopes of saving the bull. As an athlete, he has been awarded his letter, on the track, as well as at tennis. At tennis he and Reds always starred. Ag's big fault is his uncertainty, for almost any time he 'is due to take a flight. Once during Glee Club practice, he made one of these flights, and it is unknown whether he went up to appre- ciate the mus-ic from a distance or to get away from it. It is hard to tell just how long we shall have Aggie, as a single man. Our belief is that he should live where the law allows more than one wife, for his heart has gone out to many and from some it has never returned. We expect great things of you in your home state some day. The best luck to you, whatever your business! may he. Hey, fella, you wanta watch that. Why, hello--
