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?

..(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.

Annis Helen Jones Texas Florence M. Lee, SIX West Virginia Y. W. C. A.; President W. C. T. U.; President Cotillion Club; President Dixie Club; Go-to Basket-ball Team; Tennis Club; Assistant Busi- ness Manager Anual Staff; Nomination Commit- tee of Annual; Treasurer Horseback Club, ' 09- ' 10. Miss Jones, our star pupil in geology, likes to have company in her interest in class, and often gets it by nudging her neighbors and requiring them to Say yes ' m ' , density. Although she sometimes fails to see the why, we hope that by careful observation of phenomena through life, that by the time she is eighty she will have enough knowledge in this branch to remember that she studied the subject. Miss Jones has been a great addition to her Alma Mater, in that she has helped institute sev- eral reforms, chief among them the VV. C. T. U. (VVomen Continually T roubling Us) to keep her erring sisters from imbibing too much ice tea on Sunday nights, as she feels that though this may not be intoxicating, owing to its unexpectedness, too much would be very intemperate. We would not have done Annis justice without mentioning her brilliant recitations in psychology, and we are confident that the old folks at home will be astounded at the extent of her knowledge in this subject. The President of our Y. W. C. A. hails from the West Virginia hills. She is gifted in more ways than one, and is especially improved since her stay in Belmont by her constant association with a certain member of the faculty, and con- versation concerning the good of the Y. W. C. A. She stands admirably for her seven-tenth part of the Senior Class, and is unusually popular with her classmates. With a lapse of only very short intervals she ran for every office in the class, and in the end came out Just a Senior. She is dishonest, easily influenced, and goes in a boisterous bunch. This is how she came to be Ex-Editor-in-Chief of the Annual. There is system in her correspondence — one a day — and she feels duty bound to love everybody. An anxious inquiry from everyone that has seen West Vir- ginia on the map is. Do you know that good- looking man down there that dances so well? But the Chinese puzzle for us all is how is she to enter upon the matrimonial stage with bangs?
