GRACE MAY LOAR A long lime in ike pail Grace developed a great taste for learning, and ha since spared no time, sacrifice or meant which would aid her in securing any knowledge benefiting the minds of human being . Neither holi-days, warm weather nor lack of time prohibits her from the extreme toy of poring over her school books Even her Monday lessons have been known to be good. She was found mourning the other day because she had fallen below 97 per cent, in one study--a thing which had never before happened in her life. The only thing Grace really like to study better than her books, is the boys; and so much time has also been spent in this direction that she knows them nearly as well a her books. But when summer comes Grace throws aside all school restraints and other strenuous duties and goes to the country. Here she revels inioyous pastime like anyone else would, only more so. She says herself that her city friends would be greatly shocked at her summer behavior. Could one dream of such a thing? What she wills to do or say is Wisest, virtuousest. discreetest, best. WILLIAM LEO SCULL Wilhelm has curly hair that is envied by every girl in the class, but he will persist in patting it down with water every morning before school. He is a favorite of his teachers and classmates, especially of the girls, who cuss and discuss him more than any boy in the class. He is subject to fits of melancholia when a certain fair Sophomore has been unkind. William is a brilliant orator and is very romantic at time . He plays basket ball and is business manager of Das Bathlein. He has a great baritone voice and. in fact, his talents Me so numerous that it is difficult to determine in what line he will excel. “A lion among ladies, a most dreadful thing CARRIE LUC1LE WILKINSON Carrie was born sometime in the past. She did tomboy stunts until she was in her teens and has been looking solemn ever since. Came delights in playing pranks on her school-mates and needs no encouragement when there is any mischief to be done. She is also fond of eating apples in school, and. as she is very unselfish has been known to bring enough to satisfy the hunger of the whole class even at the last period before noon. She has two hobbies---asking questions and reforming. These keep her well employed, for as soon as she has brought about a successful reformation along one line she takes up another. When all her reforms are made Carrie will be so changed that even her best friends will scarcely know her. She is always the spokesman in the class for she can speak more words in a minute than anyone else on record. High flights, she had. and wit and will And so her tongue was seldom still.

HAZEL PAULINE WAGNER Hud is an excitable somebody, who has a different mood for everyday in the week. She used to like the Hi ah School boya. but now ehe has outgrown them ana looks elsewhere for her friends.'' Hazel ia a good student and has a commendable ambition to stand as high as possible in her class. Sometimes when reciting her tongue gets twisted, and once-—to the astonishment of the whole Junior class-—she was heard to say in history that not even a cattle was left.' f ror one that triumphs great pain is to fail. LAWRENCE JACO MILLER Lawrence is bashful to an alarming degree and blushes continually. Owns a knife that is borrowed by every Junior girl. He never makes himself noticed. Never got less than 95 per cent, in deportment in his life. He is by no means cowardly for he is the only Junior boy who dares to undertake the difficulties of C.Ksar and Cicero, but nevertheless, he seems to fear the sound of his own voice, for although he always knows his lessons, he can'seldom be heard, even by his nearest neighbor. Silence is more eloquent than words.” EDNA LENORA COLUNS Edna is as quiet as a mouse but she can easily make herself heard if she is so inclined. Reciting memory passages ia her fort and she really does it well, for even if the class ia half asleep, they all wake up and listen when Edna begins to speak. She neither smiles nor frowns, but is always the same each day of the week Edna is always loyal to her class and her school. She is more fortunate than most of her classmates for she has a man' who takes her to foot-ball and basket-ball games She is ever gentle.

LILA CREEL SINSEL Lila is the greatest giggler in the class; she even surpasses Carrie in that art. She giggles at everything and giggles at nothing. Iila is not fond of proving proposi-lions in Geometry but she is trying to proveto the world that it is possible to go through school with a good standing by merely carrying ones books homes and imagining that lessons are learned. Sometimes she learn one topic in history but some one else is sure to recite it and then poor Lila exclaims O. that s the only one I knew; and all that work for nothing. “Nothing on her brain.
