Gowned as "Princess Adella'' for "The Khan of Kathan,'' the proudly #womanless 1905 Columbia Varsity Show, H.C. Atwater (1885-1962) became an engineer and builder responsible for many homes and churches. A widower, he was survived by two children and five grandchildren. #boyswillbegirls #drag

"The prettiest girl that has been seen at Columbia in years,'' was the New-York Herald's 1905 verdict of H.C. Atwater. "To remold five feet six of solid masculine flesh down into a dimpled damsel and then dress her up to look like the latest French production at Schwarz's is something worthwhile."

“You never can get over the awkward feeling that comes from putting your arm around a boy, or holding his dainty little paw,'' claimed hunky Carl Boone, seen here in a torrid "love'' scene with "Oots'' Oosterhardt. #womanless #drag #boyswillbegirls
