N., and also of the famous West Side Tennis Club, of which organization for the discouragement of Cupid, he is president. By virtue of office he has first choice of partners, this suits Par. greatly. Par., his nick-name, is a corruption of Parrish, it also comes from the fact that he is single. He is an ardent supporter of the Anti-Study League, a man sought after equally by calicoes and men, a person never created to be a bachelor. ERNST EDWARD BEHR Ernie Entered 'l'hroop 1902, engaged in Athletics, and a course of study periods.

FLORENCE LYDIA BIXBY Too sedate to allow a nickname A student of high-class standing, and one of whom the graduating class of '06 may well be proud, is Florence Lydia Bixby, who first attended Throop Institute in 1903, hav- ing taken the first year of her literary course in the Sierra Madre Public School. Miss Bixby is a member of the Spanish club, lately organized, and held office as vice-president for a time. Until lately Miss Bixby was a lover of society, but now she is more a student of nature, concentrating her thoughts upon Greenleaves and Kindling Wood, or often she may be seen with a volume de luxe of Milton under her arm, proving that she is as yet undecided as to the trend of her life work. Her friends feel certain that what ever trend she chooses for her future work, sl1c will carry it to a grand completion, owing to the stability of'her character. 2 ., ..u..sL-riiiiw-'iM....1'.5'-4.v!llbt.H .

WILLIAM MERIAM COMAN lintered the Granunar School seven years ago, graduating into the Academy three years later. This event was the occasion of great surprise and rejoicing among his friends and relatives. Since then he has pursued his studies in the Scientific Course, with great alaerity, and the grim determination to catch up with them or die in the attempt. Two years ago he nearly succeeded, and was ohliged to take a three months' vacation on the Colorado river to regain his shattered health, and i'ecuperate his over-strained mental faculties. VVe sincerely hope it will never occur again. This year he has heen amusing him- self trying to huild a hoat. So far the auiiist-mt-fitliias rested entirely with the on-lookers. WILLIAM LUCAS CROWLEY Bill On a warm summer's day in far off St. Louis, VVilliam l.ueas Crowley, alias .Hill came to light, August jf, 1886.

Mr. Dickey was horn in Dinuha, Tulare Coumy, this state, and is therefore a native son of the Golden XfVest. llefore entering Throop he graduated from the Santa Cruz Business 'Collegefwitli high honors. He is not only a hright student. hut he also is considered somewhat of an athlete, shot-putting and track work taking up a part of his spare moments.
