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.

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--

30 THE MECHANIC JAMES G. BELL Media, Pa. Engineer. Born January 27, 1902. Jimmy, ' 'Fra,nces, Peggy. Glee Clubg Stiff Collared Engineersg Dead glans A. C., Midnight Owls, 3 W'sg 3 C'sg 6.45 ub. He never worries, never fretsg Nor e'er seems aught but gay, Moving in one of our social sets- His life's like one long day in May. Jimmie hails from a town which was well known before he matriculated at Williamson, the above mentioned town being Media. Although Jimmie claims Media as his home town, it is doubtful just how long it will hold those honors, as another well-known burg in the near vicinity bids fair to strip Media of those honors-, unless Peggy settles down there. We wish him all kinds of luck on the sea of matri- mony, but as a skipper he has proved a failure. Frances has proved himself a hard and steady worker, his main interests being centered in the welfare of the school. Nearly every Sat- urday afternoon he can be seen at his favorite post, running the coal conveyor at the railroad siding. We believe he is cut out to be a mining engineer, anyway, he should make a good one, l owing to his experience as a coal handler. Not enough can be said of Jimmie in his efforts at his trade, as he has been a capable student and a willing worker. Jimmie has ranked high in the Engineering Section ever since he detected the packing burning out on the crankshaft of the refrigerating machine. Jimmie during his three-year stay at Williamson, belonged to the Midnight Owls, of which association he was a most faithful member, indulging frequently in the pleasures of that association. We feel sure that he will make a success of whatever he undertakes, and We, his classmates, wish him success. That's dashy!
