' In disprovol of the general maxim that great people are born in obscure places, Adda- leane Buford made her first appearance in the renowned city of Paris, July 9, 1892. At the age of six she performed her first important and far-reaching act of her so far uneventful existence by starting to school. For the space of eight years this daughter of our city wenizled her way with noble and laborous efforts through the grammar school, and ob- tained during those years of obscurity the talent of painting and drawing which is making her famous. After she began the second heat of her educational pursuit, by entering the Paris High School, she has developed a talent for cartooning. Her one ambition is to marry a title from the old World. Her romantic disposition declares in tones that produce a strain on the imagination that this lucky personage should be none other than an Earl. For four years she has struggled with these passions along With her studies and still has vis- ions of the man of her dreams and his castle. Liifffiiiyffif'-Z f1' -' ' '

A most presum- ing kind of a fellow, with a noble heart, and splendid char- acte1'.'7 , Lloyd Alvin Ellington has one chief fault. He is in love. Slim was born in'i891 on a Sangamon County sand hill, situated one mile from Springfield, Illinois: a fact which ex- plains his sandy complexion, sandy hair and his sand on the stage. He was a very bright .jboy in his younger days and his parents took him from school to school accorditfgly as he got ahead of his teachers in his subjects. However, a few traces of this brightnesfs still re- main and shine forth from among hisnumerous good S traits like a tin can in a dbserted al- ley. As a Junior he went through the year like an angel, and was known asia well be- haved, quiet young student. But now as a Senior he is quite changed. He stii gets his lessons,,but the angel part of him is gone, and he is running through school like a demon. When he is reproved by his teachers he says I don't care 3 I've got a girl.

She has one chief ambition-to be loved by all-and it seems disappointment will be impossible. Her power has been experienced in various places such as Elk City, Holdenville and Paris, and her pathway is strewn with broken hearts and sweetiremembrances. When this picture was taken she was grieving over the fact that her beaux could only call on Fridavl Saturday and Sunday nights. Ordinarily she is known by her gay laughter. sweet eyes, and Wayward tresses flitting about her face. She never blushes, but has been known to shed tears. She will sass her teachers and afterwards say, You are the grandest-- Her fate is fixed for she has an aversion to the God of Love, and one by one the boys learn that the world is gray because of her. -H V -- --1----f-Hfec eee- be wa...
