When seven years of night school had elapsed, he decided to devote his entire time to his job at the Institute, and nine years of persistence finally netted him the po sition of recorder of Armour Insti- tute, in 1923.

It was the night on which Joe ’l‘cch proudly escorted his snappily-dressed heart heat into the luxurious Boule- . M. Mr vard Room of the Stevens Hotel.

Kelly His home town is Antioch, Illinois; and he still returns to his cottage at Cross Lake in Antioch every sum» mer. He is a member of the Illi— nois Association of Collegiate Reg- istrar's, and the American Associa— tion of Collegiate Registrars, which seems to indicate that there really is something to this business of be ing a registrar, even though all I know is that it entails the keeping of records a-plenty, and going around to high schols to interview Armour’s prospective students. Yes you’re right. Many of us would not be. here, had not Mr. Kelly come around to tell us of the existence of a one Ar- mour Institute of Technology. Mr. Kelly is also a member of the Society of Promotion of Engineering Education, the Masonic Order, and the Modern Woodmen of America. Though he has done quite a bit of travelling, Antioch still beckons to his call. He has been as far south as New Orleans, and as far east as New York, having visited most of the states this side of the Mississippi. He is also quite a sportsman, having us his hobbies fishing, golf, bridge, and stamps.
