J. MERRIT MIDGLEY elle looked a lion with ll gloomy stare, A1141 o're his eyelwows hung his matted hair. Baron Von Reggie Whiskers. Midgley, is the only titled man in P.- H. S. With his raven locks 'growing far down his chubby, brown cheeks, his black eyes gleaming with hid- den nre and his trusty dagger reposing in his hip pocket, he is truly a noble scion of his race.

Louise E. Moons l Hlllllsiv. when soft Voices die. Vibi-:iii-s in lll01ll0l'X. Louise forms with Ethel, and Sarah a triumvirate, rival- i ing that of Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey. These three are inseparable. Her record is very fine in her studies, but this has not marred her jolly l disposition. She is a good friend, a companion and fun maker, who is true to one, and only one, and no doubt will always be. In her lessons, as everywhere else, she is what she is and nothing more, pretty, unassuming and yet high spirited. Surely, every member, of the class, will carry away a loving memory of their class-mate, Louise. WILLIAM C. MUEHLHOF Life is but fl Walking slmdowf' No matter how poor one's eye sight may be, if he can see at all, he cannot help but notice the height of t'Bill, which makes him a conspicuous Hgure, at all gatherings. 't'Bill,' was the hit of the Xmas. play, as the butler, and if any one should want such an article, we recommend him. He doesn't have to study and he knows it, can get his history in ten minutes and the only one, who can interpret Hamlet at sight. Don't think from all this dope, that Bill is a phenome- non, for he is only a happy-go- 'lucky boy, whose good nature is welcomed everywhere. ' 29 .li

JOSEPH MORRISON MOH of few words are thot be-st men. Our Auburn representative, dear friends, and, if Auburn has more such, let them be sent. t'.Ioe is very quiet and never makes any disturbance, either in school or out. According to Joe's actions in school, it can be plainly seen he is not a ladies man, but we have been informed, by one who knows, that he has broken many a fair Auburn maiden's heart. Joe is a wonderful shortstop, and allows nothing to pass him, and at the bat, he is just as good. We expect to hear of Joe signing with the Giants, and making a name for himself, in his marvelous Held work, ESTHER O. OSWALD Tl1n1ig11tlt-ss of beaiity, sin- was h02llltX,S sf-if. Lest any one should think that Esther paints, we must inform you that those cheeks are her own and natural. We think pink cheeks and cheerful smiles are a tine combina- tion. If any one ever saw Esther grouchy we never did. Do not think those cheeks have E. had no attention, How about Ted and 'I'om? Now we are growing personal. Esther took the leading part in the Christmas play, and found herself famous. Memories and memories we will have, when we leave school, but one of the sweetest, will be our pink- cheeked, merry comrade, Esther. 31
