True, during class time, she is very «|uict and the delight of her teachers, but out of school she i- not the same demure maiden. She is jollity personified, and the life of the bunch. One even forgets the awe. one looks up to her in school, when she recites with the wisdom of a a Senior, on the parts we had passed over as too hard. e wish all Seniors were leaving the brilliant showing our black-eyed Ruth has made.

PlKIO by Jay FAYE MOSS. On a red letter day for it a maiden entered these classic portals and cast her lot with us. I refer to Famous” or uncorrcctly spelled. Faye Mux. Bright?—why her Latin translations heat a pony all hollow. Ask anybody in Senior Latin. And jolly too! We hate to see her go. HERBERT SHELLENBERGER. Item—One youth. Particulars—Forward on Basketball team, member Base Ball squad. Sergeant in Cadet Company. Baritone in Glee Cltib. Assistant Kditor-in-Chief ef the Pe Aitch Ess, heartless ladykiller and star in several classes. 'I he«i‘— A Defense of the Johnsonian Style. GLADYS WESTBROOK. Let me present Miss Westbrook. Oh! pardon me. yon all know her. Then you have probably heard of her knowledge and brilliancy along all lines. But she never lets her studies interfere with her health and good nature for she is round and good natured as can be. Here's hoping she may always remain so. WILLIAM FOLEY. I-or he a jolly good fellow! As cheer leader, track man. German quiz star, leader of innumerable class scraps, and good fellow in general. Bill—just plain Bill- lias shown his versatility. Many times he has been on the “carpet. yet just as many tunes has he emerged smiling and unshaken in his calm poise. Among the fair ones. Willie is not slow for he has a fondness for a blonde lower classmaiden not to men- tion a similar liking for a dark-haired maiden of Marshall. William is also the pride and pet of Mr. Brook» and the Juniors who take much pride and evince much interest in his various exploits. The only original Latin star.—Fte Moss.

But she isn’t always the “President.” only on necessary occasions does she assume the duties lilting the office. For a jolly, good time just a k for “Shelly and she will help you out if she isn't busy. FLOYD GAUMER. Wc must mention our Apollo of the Beveled Ear. puchcrrima forma, for he too. leaves us. As class treasurer he was a distinct hit. for he is able to produce the impression that he is conferring a favor by accepting the filthy lucre of yours, lie is an imposing sight in a cadet uniform, and of course, is a lathes’ man: at present a Sophomore girl is his proud possessor. MARGUERITE BRIDGMAN. You ask who is that stately fair one descending the stair-? That, my child, is a certain Miss Bridgman—Marjorie, by name. The personification of dignity, perfectly faultless, faultlessly perfect. But hist! shc'approches. I.et us retire! CLEO JENKINS. As star in the Physics class ’’Jenks.’’ in other words Clco Jenkins, is receiving his initiation into the mysteries of the fair sex. at the “IJib” table where he has two fair Senior girls under his jurisdiction. He talks but little, but when he does speak his words have weight. Jenk's stride is the admiration of all the girls, lie's a cor- poral in the Cadet Company and a general good fellow, and P. II. S- will miss him when 'i 1 is gone. ‘Count on me to do my ‘Best.’ ”—Miss Bridgeman.
