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--

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.

WILLIAMSON SCHOOL 29 NORBERT J. BAUSCH Minersville. Pa. Engineer. Born August 4, 1900. Norb, Cave M1in, Bush, Class Treasurer, First Term, Class Song Com- mitteeg Reserve Baseball, '18, Reserve Football, '19, Reserve Basketball, '19, '20, 'Varsity Base- ball, '19, '20g Eta Bita Pig 6.45 Clubg Midnight Prowlersg Sons of Rest. His life is just one joyous round Of pleasures unalloyedg Always talking, always laughing, 'Tis hard to get annoyed. This manly fellow came to Willie Tech to study the course given in Operating Engineering. He is said to be claimed by the inhabitants of Minersville, but a few years of school life brought his classmates to a conclusion that the future, if not the past, would be spent at the village up yonder. After a few weeks of sarcasm which Norb displayed, we became better friends with this fellow. He is very humorous at times and the smile that is prominent every few months tells usi Norb has been given his most valued treas- ure, the pink card. He always has a way to get even with one of the engineers by means of a trick, in which he uses an oil can. Bush was ouite an athlete while at school. V H K V W During' his Freshman term he became very pop- ular in the athletics at the school. of which he later proved his worth. He attained the 'Varsity Nine for two successive seasons and we are proud of him for his endeavors to hold as high as possible the athletic standards of the school. The Cave Man is an admirer of the village up yonder and his frequent calls have won a distinct place with Jody and the fair sex of that vicinity. Norb has shown much thought and earnest work in his academic work and his ambitions are not to be surpassed in shop practice. The Class of '21 wish you much success in the future field of industry. We ain't heard nothin' yet.
