FT. ASTACO VO 1911 History of the Senior Class In Incarnations Past and Present The soul of Caddobell Farr was once incorporated in the body of an early Christian martyr. Having a good start, this soul rapidly made its way in many shapes, in various places, stopping for a long while in Germany where it acquired a deep love for all Germany, and all things pertaining to Germany. Probably it was here also that the corporal sheath took a fair skin and light hair. Soon, however, the flesh and all its wearisome burdens (such as freck- les) will be annihilated, and Caddo- belle ' s soul, set free from every incum- berance, will be ready for eternal Peace and Forgetfulness.

And were she living now, she would probably be seen at the horse show, J the automobile races, aeronautic flights, at the seashore, at her box in the theatre as well as on the stage itself. It is hard to sa3 whether or not she would play bridge. If not, it would be chiefly in this respect that her ambitious successor would be different — her successor being, of course, the original Eliza])eth Corbett of Jacksonville. These wise old Seniors, having been here four years, have tasted the sweets of knowledge, the sweets of ignorance, the sweets of the corner stone, and the sweets of love. But they have found the only sweetness that does not cloy is the personal sweetness of Bess Buchanan.
