MARGARET EDITH ABEL General C Trenton Normal Field Day 1. “A good mind possesses a kingdom.” Margaret is rather shy, but when we got to know her, we were very sorry we hadn't cultivat- ed her friendship a long time ago. JOHN L. ALLEN, JR. Jacke Scientific Rutgers Varsity First Aider 4. “Not once or twice in our rough-island story The path of duty was the way to glory.” Not only the thought that “Jack’s” first aid ability will stand us in good stead some day makes us associate with him.

He doesn’t go in for extra-curricula activities, but is content to do his required work, which incident- ally, he does well. GRACE J. BELLINA General C Newark Normal Field Day tf. “Books are the shrine where the saint ts, or is believed to be.” Grace is the type of girl who minds her own business and is always prepared in her school- work.
