Little Buck looks too timid to be a pill roller, but his timidity is not that kind characterized by effeminacy or profligacy. His is a sympathetic countenance, a mirror of a harmonious nature; sunshine lurks under- neath and beams from his soul through his two brown eyes. Nature has blessed him with more than an external expressive appear- ance, she has taught him that the proper study of mankind is man, and in consequence thereof he is studying medicine, the next thing to man, and believes in old Izaak Wal- ton ' s, Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience. Buck is all right. Every student in school will sanction it. G. C. BUCK, A.B., Phi. Grime.sl. nd. X. C. ' Low gurgling laughter, as sweet As the swallows song ' n the south, And a ripple of dimples that, dancing, meet By the curves of a perfect mouth. .Second Marshal Anniversary, ' 10. His countenance was never known to fool you. He and melancholy have never met. His smiles are spontaneous as waves are on the sea; his laughter, a bubble and tinkle of sincerity; his quick responses never unnatural or pedantic. His full chest and ruddy cheeks proclaim his admirable physique, and his not too prominent eyes bespeak his love of action. These, together with an unblemished record in College give you a picture of what belongs to a noble man, unhampered by eccentricities and deformities. If truth, honesty and good behaviour have anything to do with a man ' s success, then here is word to his friends that Buck is on the right road.

' OS- ' OO; ' Varsity liasel.all, Brett is the only member of the Class who entered it in short trousers. Although one of the youngest men, he is one of the brightest. He not only asks for his A.B. degree for four years ' work, but also an A.M. Always happy, seldom complaining, Dea- rir lias made things lively on the campus and the ball diamond. In athletics he has taken a leading part, and his place on the ' Varsity Baseball Team could have been filled by none other than he. In society lie has seldom been heard, and says: What ' s the good of society, anyway? At graduation Brett will join the United Sttitcs ecological Survey, but we Ix lievo later 111 ' will enter business. XEKDHAM BRYAXT HKOUCHTOX, Jr., A.U.. Ki-.

In College, Buck has identified himself with athletics and is an ardent supporter of them. He had dreams of wearing a mono- gram, hut had to be content with the position of full-back on the Senior Team. He conies from a family which has long Ijeen devoted to his Alma Mater, and he keeps up this devotion.
