..(T . May Burns Tenn Alay is bright and she is witty, She is smart, but she ' s not pretty. Handsome is as handsome does, As the old-time maxim says. So we say that May is handsome. And that ' s pretty in a way. Although she hails from Tennessee, She ' s just as gay as she can be. She ' s always welcome wher ' er she goes, For she ' s rich in friends, but poor in foes. She ranks high in deportment, And she ' s on Miss Webb ' s floor, Now who for themselves can dare to say more? We ' re glad she is a Senior, For now her work is o ' er. But in the future years to come They ' ll miss her more and more. Bobbie, a Lone Star State cowgirl, who shows a strong preference for bareback riding. Is noted for breaking absolutely every rule in school. A fluent Spanish scholar, who says, For favor please pass to me myself the cream, and when upon asking why her grade was not raised, received the reply that it will be next quarter. A very motherly nature, who sympathizes with all the analytic, home, lovesick girls. A frequent visitor at Skalowski ' s and Luigart ' s, she says for something to eat; but if you sat at her table you would not believe it. Shows a wise choice in the selection of roommates, and lives forever after, like happy couples should. An all around, jolly person, and a most excellent friend.

Zeleva Pearl Boland Missouri Y. W. C. A.; S. C. S. R. R.; Northern Club. Pearl, generally known to us as Ma. is an ideal senior, with the exception of only a few small matters. Those being to her disadvantage are: She is incHned to take life too seriously, she worries over her grades. She worries over her appetite, and in an earnest manner she peti- tions some of her friends among the faculty that she needs to keep cakes in her room to mince on during study hour. She is in con- stant hot water for fear Pa Jones will forget his company manners and make some breach of etiquette while out in society. She is crush proof, as she considers it far beneath her dignity to indulge in such foolishness. Which fact some of her dear friends grieve over. On the other hand, she has mounted to the highest peak of Alaska, and there buried her heart (happy may he be). She has commanded the respect of the most sober-minded members of the faculty, and has gained their best wishes by her close observance and tactfulness. And now with such characteristics could you imagine her to be a slender maiden, with tender manner and a gentle voice, blue eyes, and curlv golden hair blowing in the breezes (?) Such is Pearl, whose memory will always be dear to those who knew her. Hazel Tynes Alabama S. C. S. R. R.; CoUegre Editor of Blue and Bronze, ■QS- ' IO; Treasurer of Dixie Club; Vice President of Alabama Club. A happy combination of a shark and a lady (of leisure, given to timidity and much sleep, studies her lessons during the two and a half minutes between classes, and generally knows them. She has not, as far as we know, been subject either to crushes or to the bang fever.

Ellen Hail Alabama Anne Mosei y Texas S. C. S. R. R. ; Secretary of Senior Class; Treas- urer Self-Regulating Roll; Treasurer Alabama Club; Assistant Treasurer of T. W. C. A. Ellen the fair, Ellen the blue-eyed maid of Belmont, has changed her name to Ellen the fair, Ellen the pink-eyed maid of Belmont. Her chief diet is composed of oranges and salt, while her favorite pastime is writing notes to her many victims of the crush fever. She continually quotes from Emerson ' s Essays on Love, but let us not think of Ellen devoting her time to the reading of these instead of getting her lessons. A more quiet and obedient girl is not found on third floor Fidelity, scorns the proposals of dis- turbing another girl ' s room while the occupant is away. Authority on the pronunciation of botanical names, while in logic her sad and silent countenance excuses her from class. In analytics class she never has sufficient time to prepare her lesson and in igth century literature her mem- ory fails her (?). ' Tis in Caesar that she dis- plays her knowledge — also in spherical trigonom- etry in drawing such small and e.xact pictures on the board. But possessing these many accomplishments and failings, her many, many friends at Belmont will never forget her true Christian character, with a happy disposition and known by the name of ' ' Splits. Anne is another renowned member of the Bangs Club. We mention this fact as this is the most popular bunch in school this year. She is studious, of course ; no one doubts it, but there are some few things we cannot quite understand, possibly because of her numerous friendships with the teachers on second and third floor. Founders. She is more than popular, being a Senior and rooming on Miss Webb ' s floor. Can more be said?
