Has a most generous nature, and takes his greatest delight in giving pleasure to others. Talks as though all his words came to his mouth at once, and he has difficulty in holding one back until he says the other. Is personally acquainted with Tom Moore, and Bill Shakespeare. Has shown great ability as an athlete; being twice chosen Captain of the track team. He walks--------but look at the quotation. “Well fellers, what do you think about it?” 25

Clinton ’10 “She will not even permit of undue fimiliarity.” —Mark Twain. As independent as the United States. She recites with that assurance that comes of high intellectual attainments. Will argue on the wrong side of any question, and refuses to be convinced. Never attends a class meeting, or a class function; but fortunately coincides with anything the class decides. Very fond of home and her studies, which, in part, explains her lack of desire to mix with the bunch. “Aw, those boys run that class anyway.” 27
