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.

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.

LLOYD LAMB. In the two years that l-ambic” has been with u he has won a place among us! With his deep bass voice and diminutive stature he pursues hi way in his eager search for knowledge. Vermillion was fortunate enough to have been the birthplace of this young hero, and every morning lie leaves its crowded streets for gay Paris. In Physics. Lloyd is the only original. Mr. Lamb favors the city on the Wabash for the musical comedy, and hi favorite saying is Come on. fellows; this one's on me Sorry we didn't have you four year . Lambic. MARIE WRIGHT. Is Marie right? Surely; Always right, always Wright. If you have any doubts, ask any of the class or a certain boy. who reside north of the city. She should also be given credit for her singing and her splendid work in the Captain of Plymouth. Watch for her to shine in the class play. CLAUDE REED. Here's to Opie. May hi shadow never grow lc ! This young man—the prima donna of the Glee Club—is a worthy successor of “Waldo the Bulky. Perhaps he not |uitc so much overweight, but just iat enough to be jolly. Opie is famous for his hospitality, and hi open house of 1911 is as famous among the Seniors who were fortunate enough to be included in the invitation . In a literary way lie doe his namesake credit, and he served with distinction as Debater-in-Chicf of Miss Slent- mon's Political Economy Class. The many clever jokes of the volume are indirectly the labor of this man's hand , for he holds the responsible position of Senior Personal Editor. Editor's Xote—It is sai«l that Opie in a tit of abstractedness once had a date. BERTHA JONES. Yes. this i Bertha, and she's as jolly a the rest of us. perhap jollier, ior her smile always burst into a lively little chuckle after the rest of 11 have «lone with smiling. Congratulations are extended t you Bertha, along with tho c offered the rest of the class of ’ll for your success in High School. “Ruin stares me in the face—-I’ve forgotten my variety box.”—Wright.
