1. Findley James Miller, Slippery Rock, Pa. Bryant. Class Treas. Q25 Pres. Bryant Society lf you can't recite, get up and show the Prof that it is not lack ot willingness, is the firm belief of this good- natured son of Slippery Rock soil. After passing thru' the interior convolutions of S. li. Model and High Schools, Fin joined our class in the fall. of '09, Ile is not a ba.d sort of fellow if you consider him clear entirely all together. Fin's besetting weakness is his i?ondness for the fairer sex, but we hope that with the advance of years he will conquer this and lead a successful life. 2. Bess Pollock, New Brighton, Pa. Philomathean. One can hardly recognize in Bess to-day, the little home- sick, weeping girl who used to implore permission to go home. This year she makes flying trips between the terms. There is a great, big Reason at Slippery Rock. She is one girl who can excel in sleepiness, study, and hungriness and still keep four fellows guessing.- All this year Bess has had chappeil hands. Her favorite studies are Frnech, Restaurantry, Sleigh- rides, and Icy Sidewalks. At an early date she expects to publish her diary, Vol. 14. This will doubtless place her name in the American Hall ol? Fame. 3. lilarie liforgan, Pittsburgli, Pa. Philomathean. Marie was not only a star in lilathematics, but also made the third floor famous by her speeches as an advocate of G-irls' Rights. She was constantly working for the good of her own sex. We owe a great deal to Marie. 4. Sherril Maxwell, Slippery Rock, Pa. Practice, practice all the day, ls what we hear dignified Sherril say. In music she's the very best, , Just ask H. C. the rest. u A Shay7, is very much afraid her music might become eom- mon. Anyone that knows her can vouch for that. Just ask some of the girls who were with her at the ltliddle-Senior Banquet. 5. Olive Anderson, Elderton, Pa. I Olive is a tall, dark-haired, quiet girl, with whom it is very hard to get acquainted, but o11ce you know her, you find she is very charming. She joined our ranks in 1911 and comes to us from Elderton. She is v-ery good in her class work and helps us very much in our class meetings by her cheer- ful, presence. 6. Grace Kerr, Sharon, Pa. Philornathean. Grace is one of our dignified Seniors, who, although she appears the most peaceable person in the world to strangers, is always getting into a scrape of some kind. She is a Sharon girl all right, but nevertheless she was kept track ot on Sat- urday nights by l1er dignified teachers. Twenty nine

1. Edward VValter, wVCJ1'tl1lllgt0ll, Pa. Philomathean. Foot-ball fl, 2, 3lg Class Base-ball fl, 2, 313 Class Basket-ball 3 Bus. Mgr. Staff Q3j g Pres. Class Q11 g Pres. Base-ball League Ed was one of the charter members of our class, was one of our Cgreat athletesj. He was a diligent worker in ,the school room, especially in Language and Mathematics, but at the sa.me time was always ready to enter into whatever fun- or sport there was at hand. Eddie, with his dark, wavy hair, light complexion, and winning smile was a friend of everyone who knew him, especially the girls. Ile had many struggles between right and wrong, but finally 'Wright triumphed and he has been happy ever since. 2. Ethel ltlay Thorpe, New Castle, Pa. Bryant. Ethel is one of the most delicate, bashful girls in the class of '12. She would make a very good helpmate for a minister, since she always goes to Bible class and sings Psalms. Like Richardson, she writes copies of love letters for her friends. Why is it that Ethel never had to walk to Kiester? 3. Wilmer Esther Beighley, Prospect, Pa. In yea.rs, Wilma is the baby ol? the Senior Class, although she stands high in her classes. If Wilinzi had not been so quiet, her classmates would have discovered the quaint side of her nature. 4. Frances L. Allen, Adamsville, Pa. Philomathean. Frances is one of our pretty girls who joined us in 1911, and our class could never be complete without her. ,lt at any time you want to see Miss Frances, you will find her snoozing in 105, North Tower. She is seldom seen.-with the boys, but it is not their fault, they say. For some reason Frances always gets blamed for everything she does. She even got blamed for tying tin cans to a dog 's tail and letting it loose in the dormitory one night about twelve o'clock. She is very faith- Ful in her class work and was never known to miss History of Ed. 5. Edna S. Dressing, Aspinwall, Pa. Bryant. Ednafs sunny hair is but a symbol ot her disposition. This disposition and her love for social life was the cause of most of her trouble. Her fondness for such life made her many friends. Often between the hours of sev-en and ten Edna could be seen wending her way liomeward through the halls, escorted by one of her fair. teacher friends. 6. Mary Anna Hauser, Penn Station, Pa. Mary came to Slippery Rock in the 'fall ot 1910 and took Junior Middle. Her most notable characteristics are black hair, dark eyes, and a happy, good-natured disposition. She always depends upon Clie to waken her in the mornings, as her reason is, You know '0lie' has a clock than can ring. Nevertheless, she is diligent and faithful her Work, and goes forth with the promise ot' a bright future. , Thfirty-:me
