To those she deems worthy Gladys Adams will give the prescription for her “Cream of Roses’ complexion. Elizabeth Barton leaves languishing glances to a certain Junior Boy. Anna Margaret Brecht leaves all early flirtations for One. Nellie Lee Brecht’s four cylinder giggle she wishes to bequeath Betty Whalen. (She feels Betty needs a new one.) Frederic Burchard leaves his manner of always being in a hurry to Edwin Green-wald. Douglas Cornell wishes his studious ways to be left in care of Alfred Hartman with the provision that he use carefully and on event of his graduation, present them with due formality to Lorraine Mayfield. Margaret Coupe leaves her quiet, unaffected manners to Fern Dunn, Emma Louise Fisher and Maude Harriet Weaver, with hope that they benefit thereby.

She feels she must present some of her learnedness to Barry Moeser. Lucille Crawford will, upon the demands of Helen Brown impart a secret concerning the darkening of Titian Hair. Albert Deckinger presents his cake-eater’s style and mannerism to Fierce Hoppe. Alma Deuchler cannot be persuaded to leave her flirtation to Gladys Smith. But she will bequeath the same a portion of her studiousness. Sadie Deuchler is preparing a course of lectures on “We Modern Women. Our Rights.” She hereby issues Daisy Mendenhall a special entrance pass. Julia Eberhardt has a Ford Chauffeur whom she will, on demand, loan to Helen Fisher. Anyone feeling the lack of a sense of humor may apply to Cleo Edwards. His is so immense he can part with a large amount. So underclassmen, you need not rush.
