Tom, tall, straight and handsome, put Mt. Sterling on the map. He introduced himself to the students by twirling a baseball on the varsity team, and followed this introduction by vamping the ladies on the dance floor; but even that was tame for Tom. He then joined the army and fought the Germans until they hollered enough. Since returning to the University, he has been fighting note-books. Tom's genial disposition has made for him life-long friends who will regret his graduation in June.
