GEORGE HENRY HAYNES “ Jinny” A K E $ B K 2 H Jinny, the king of B19, is a character whom we will long remember. We can not soon forget the long, lean figure, as he hurries into the room, passing papers wildly about marked red or white, draws up his drawing-stand to its topmost limit, and prepares to give out one of his ten-minute quizzes. Then the pencils fly madly, and the recently- crammed ideas take hectic form across the pages. Jinny always managed to make the lectures mighty interesting, and whenever he began to see eyes be¬ coming dim, mouths opening, and attention wavering, the slight twitching of his upper lip and the ap¬ pendage thereo n would indicate that a story was coming. Everyone would wake up violently, make a desperate attempt to see the joke, and laugh loudly whether successful or not. WALTER LOUIS JENNINGS “Hughie” ‘ ' The Kaiser’ “The Doctor” “The Kink” 2 H We have been somewhat in awe of “The Doctor” since Qualitative Analysis, but the awe gave way to respect and admiration as our associations with him increased. His exactions in note taking in Qualitative bothered us, but his perfect manipula¬ tion was a stimulant. In Abstracts he gave us a final exam that Dr. Calhane had already given us twice, for which we were grateful. Extreme happiness on the part of “The Kink” meant hut one thing; some one had been given a “razz.” He was as thorough in this as in every¬ thing he did, and the recipent was always sick of life in general when the “razz” ended. If Dr. Jennings was proficient in Qualitative, he was a master in Organic Chemistry. He presented his lecture course with a thoroughness and interest which was unsurpassable, and a student who failed to learn the subject had himself to blame. 20
