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.

FLORENCE SHELLENBERGER. Ami here’s three cheers lor our president who has performed her duties so long and efficiently. 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.

I’hoCo !» • Jay. CLIFFORD THOMASON. Tommy Ihomason! Well. I should My so! The only professional debater who can talk without even having a subject to speak on. Noted in the Senior Cla s for his brilliant recitations in Economics. and who has for his motto: Gripe and the world gripes with you: smile, and you smile alone. CHARLES WENDEL. We'll surely miss “CussieV giggle next year. Ever since his entrance two years ago. he ha been the life of the class. He i the other Itrocton delegate that has helped to raise the class of it to its highest standard. lie ha been interested in all kinds of athletics, and as fullback on the Senior football team, he walked through the pposing line as it it was not. In spite of his long cognomen—Charles Augustus Wcndcl he i inclined to be short and chunky. Charles i« hooked for Illinois next year and we know he will make good. SYLVIAN SHOLEM. A wonderful man was Caesar. and in managing the financial part of the Annual “Sid” has shown himself to be quite as wonderful a when he played the role of Miles Standish. As second lieutenant of the Cadet Company, he presents a command- ing figure. and we recommend that lie be decorated for bravery in the famous battle of Stepp's Station. Lieutenant Sholem has not yet been injured on the field of action, but if occarion presented itself, we feel sure lie would prove as capable a commander of the army as he was in The Captain of Plymouth. In Physics. Sylvian is a star —well, anyway he gets out of the exams, and that's the same thing. Who said I'm not a pessimist? Why, I’ve got the original grouch.”— Tommy.'
