HOWARD MARTIN NICHOLS Nick ” Doc ” B A | ACK in the eighties, when things were booming in Kenyon, along came “Little Nick.” At an early age his attention was turned toward a col- lege education and accordingly he entered our preparatory school. Here he swept everything in sight with one exception. What was it? Latin! Nick has always had a feeling for languages, dead or alive. The fall of the year 1903 found our little Kenyonite a Freshman; here he met another obstacle. French now became his greatest torment. College algebra and physics were his favorites and his work in these studies was always the best. The end of his Sophomore year ended most of his language sorrows, nothing being left but one more year of English. Analytics and calculus did not trouble him for a minute. We hold only one thing against Nick, and we are sorry to say he is to blame for that. In the early days of his college career he took a liking to chemistry. Now chemistry and 1906 don’t go together; and when our little electrician elected quantitative analysis, the case became too serious to treat in a light way. Something had to be done or he would surely disgrace the class. He only took one term of it, and now he puts in his spare time in either the electrical laboratory or machine shop. He has become such an expert with the Ballistic galvanometer that his results are recognized as standard. The character- istic curves of dynamos are also characteristic of him. He delights in making con- ections with a little souvenir screw-driver which he always carries in his pocket. Like all the rest of the class, he delights in a good roughhouse, and quite frequently he and “Muggsy” get affectionate and feel for each other’s ribs. We are proud of our little classmate for the record he has left. He is the youngest and smallest in our band, but he “gets there” just the same. Nothing ever bothers him and he always has a happy smile for every one. His habits are the best; and even if he does cut chapel once in a while, he always has a good cause. His reg- istration card is always clean on the side where they register the conditions, and he has also formed the habit of never cutting a recitation when he can get there. May his future be as clean as h:s past! We trust the lessons he has learned on the campus and his being an ’06 man will fit him for his future work. He has succeeded pretty well so far, why shouldn’t he always ? 21

FREDERICK GEORGE KEYES “Fred” “ F. G. F G. KEYES hails from Rochester, New York. Not finding that place large enough to hold him, he came down to show us how to run the Rhode Island College. He has done very well in this line. In his Freshman chemistry, he was able to tell Doctor Leighton more about oxygen than could be found in Remsen. Next he tackled the orchestra prob- lem; and if we are to judge it by the amount of noise it can make, w$ should call it a complete success. His latest achievement in the chemical line has been the manufacturing of artificial lemonade. This has kept Dr. Leighton wondering why the citric acid bottle and sugar can were always empty. His love for English knows no bounds. It is so great that he will take English throughout his Senior year. For the last month he has appeared careworn and seems to have a great load on his mind. We greatly fear that he is develop- ing another of his brilliant schemes for the betterment of the social life at the college; but hoping for the best, we will try to see that he graduates with the Class of ’06.

CORA EDNA SISSON “ Sora ” C ORA drew her first breath of life in Moosup, Conn., and there she began her intellectual training in the kindergarten, unconscious that she would some day learn the derivation of that word at R. I. C. The private school followed, then VVickford Academy was enlivened by her presence until she came to this institution. She says she always stood at the head of her classes and we will take her word for it. After a two years’ “prep” course, and she still has fond recollections of that time judging from present inclinations, she entered college with the Class of ’o6. Cora has a special fondness for little silky-haired black and white dogs. “Bugs” also claim a share of her affection. To tell the truth, she is becom- ing so expert in “bugological” lines that she is able to take a legless, wingless insect and with the proper material construct a “bug” equal to nature’s own; the poise of the head, position of the legs and the spread of the wings are true to life. She may take that up as her vocation, and found an insect factory to furnish biological laboratories, when the supply of good Mother Earth is not equal to the demand. Her aversion to anything masculine is unusual and her frankness of speech has allowed no false impressions as to her opinions. Anyone receiving com- mendation from her is to be congratulated, for even social prevarication is hateful to Cora. The Y. W. C. U. recognizes her as an active member and the society sent her as a delegate to the winter conference at Holyoke. She came back wishing she were a magician and could bring some of Holyoke’s edifices to crown our college hill. Here let us leave her in the pursuit of knowledge, her chief delight.
