The Echo IRVIN SHINDLER Whenever there is someone to be chosen as chairman of a meeting, Shindler usually carries the ballot by an overwhelming vote. He has held that distinction in all the English debates, and has also been president of Phi Sigma and vice-president of the same organization three times. Although a member of the drug-store gang he was not one of the exclusive Cow-Boys. A somewhat retiring chap but when one cultivates his friendship the result is a feeUng of utmost security in that friendship. He is undoubtedly one of the best liked boys, but a woman hater if there be any such. However, Ralph says, He ' ll soon get over that. Quiet and calm and without fear He brings to our minds a memory dear Oi days now gone which will not return And a pal who was loyal, staunch and firm- ROBERT GEASEY Gaze upon the gentle countenance of Mr. Geasey, girls; we can ' t blame you for liking him. Who does not? Cap, as his name signifies, led our varsity basketball team this year and he was in there fighting for the team and the school. Bob is also quite proficient on the track. A good clean sport and all around athlete with a sunny disposi- tion, he IS bound to make friends everywhere. His only fault, if it may be termed as such, is that of falling for the girls but as Burns would say, A Man ' s a Man for all that. We ' ll miss you. Bob. Nuf-Sed. In the game of life one can ' t always win But he can ever give of the best in him ; It ' s the fellow who ' s out to win or die That shows the courage and spirit of Y. C. I. Ii20}

Y. C. I. WILBUR GANT2 Gant2; came in from Shrewsbury and made a complete raid upon the school. He was a member of the Junior basketball team and a fast man on the track. Though naturally a quiet fellow his wit has been sharpened by continual checker playing. He is the first to note Miss Messer ' s slang expres ' sions such as Aeneas set out to kill those birds and the beginning of Anchises prayer, Ye Gods. While some people allow what they hear to go in one ear and out the other, Wilbur uses both of his for tuning in. To this fact we may attribute much of his present success and his prospect for success in the future. Best of Luck, Gantz, mostly good. A wise old owl was perched in a tree There was much to hear and much to see; But he sat quietly enwrapped in thought Until one fine day great wonders he wrought. JAMES KIRACOFE Whoever ventured the wise crack that a fellow can not be handsome and also be endowed with brains never gazed upon Jimmie, for he is amply supplied with both the above mentioned qualifications and many others. The Prince of Wales IS supposed to be the best dressed young man in the world, but Hagerstown is pushing him pretty hard. James is the original reason why the girls spend their study periods in day dreams. But he IS apparently totally oblivious to the fact. His genial nature and absorbing personality plus his winning smile are sure bets for the acquisition of friends wherever he goes. We want him to remember always the old crowd. Strut your stuff, Jimmiee. May your accomplishments all be big ones and your troubles little ones. We called him Kiracofe and Hagerstown But he only smiled and never a frown; So we know he loved us as we loved him, This old pal of ours whose name was Jim. 191
