He claims the arid west for his home where the distilleries are few and far between. Jake, although born and has meddled with a spoon since his youth, ' says that everyone previous to maturity, should be deprived of Its use. No doubt he has been destined to lead. In him you can see a i-emarkable combination of Julius Caesar and Martin Luther. We are told both these men were leaders and reformers and Jake is nothing if not both. He believes in livmg easy and he surely does live out his beliefs- for there never was a boy who studied less, bluffed and bummed more, and got more out ot his work. This shrewd, calculating little man knows philosophy and talks it and upon his graduation he will go into the bee business. He intends to cross the honey bee with a lightning bug to derive a species that will work after night Blank is the joy and pride of our class. With her brown eyes and merry air she has won all hearts — and especially one lean, lanky man that hangs out with the civil squad. When .she first arrived she had great ambitions to do something for the human race but now she has changed her mind and will conduct a model school of domestic economy for one. She is a girl who will bless a home and her sterling qualities and many accomplishments will always bring her many friends as has well been shown by her many lovers in college. She is a sober, earnest girl but with a crowd of friends she is as jolly as any. Her only regrets on leaving college is a procession of broken hearts which she can never repair. She is the terror of the library. Her merry laugh can be heard ringing through the main hall To know her is to love her. him.

Since that time he has applied him- self industriously to the work set before him. ' He seems to have had an affair of the heart in his early days as he never mingles with the fair sex and looks sad and wan, if not scared, when the sub- ject is brought up. His like has not gone before and will , .,-. , , probably not come after. briHiant and handsome, is a deep thinker and has a bright future before IS a strong believer in Socialism to the extent that all good students should beer.

In other words he is an architect. He has a very worthy ambition to build some of the structures which in centuries to come will be pointed out as representing twentieth century civil- ization. Along with this he has another am- bition to some day live in one of these struc- tures, but this is not an ambition for himself alone. He expects more than mere honor for his work. It must pay dividends of a more substantial sort. He has made his own way through college, and has always been interested in college activities. His cases have been numerous but not serious The senior girls never had any particular attraction for this young man. He was more often a victim of Short Course be- mtchery. His greatest fear is that some day one of them will capture him. Teacher: Give me a sentence using the word debate . Little Boy: When I go fishing I spit on de-bate for good luck. Rock-a-bye, senior, on a tree top. As long as you study, the cradle will rock; But if you stop digging, the cradle will fall, And down will come senior, diploma and all. Boarder (on leaving) : Madam, you are one of the most honest persons I have ever met. Landlady: I ' m glad to hear you say that, sir.
