B. in society cliques where he shines as a star of the first magnitude. Though small in stature, Bfs extra large head has more stored in it than have many folk of greater physical proportions, B. is jolly, inclined to be a little mischievous. and is a good sport.

B. prefers one blushing little Freshman. CYou. dear reader, must not embarass him by repeating that you read this last statement., His ambition is to be a globe trotter, but prior to this desire he will be Comptroller of finances at Washington.

KN. B.--Refer to this date, dear reader, if Lillian is unmarried ten years hencej Lillian is never a piker and her lessons seem always ready made for recitations. She is a hearty laugher and will smile at the slightest provocation. Though Lillian was evidently fashioned to be loved and practice domestic art, she will devote herself to stenography. It is a safe bet, however, that a vine-covered cottage will be more at- tractive to Lillian than a business house.

Hl.Rtsi4.Rl ANDREW HICKEY, an Albuquerque youth, studious, determined and steady. The A of his middle name rightfully stands for ambition. He is a chemistry shark and will follow this profession Knot that of a shark, but of Chem- istryl. Boston Technical Institute will be the theatre of his endeavors after com- mencement, and as a chemical engineer his career will doubtless be filled with such adventures as blowing up tht- earth or hitching it to Mars. Ever since an important date, january IS, I899, the chief hobby of this husky youngster has been falling down stairs. When there are no stairs handy he indulges his penchant for falling by letting wrathy burros buck him over fences. Debating Club, 'I5g Yell Leader, '16, Indoor Track, 'l6: Track, 'l5. ILYALYNE LONG is a representative of the Lone Star state and a distinct type of the vivacious gentlewoman of the South. She was born in Greenville, Texas, Oc- tober Zl, I898, but was schooled in Virginia and Washington, D. C., before com- ing to A. H. S. in IQI4. Ex'alyne's character, culture, and good nature have won a place ol high esteem in the High School. In debate, or at the football field, cheer- ing for the Yellow and Nvhitef' or at a girls' stag party, she is always leader. Her histrionic talents were demonstrated in the class play, Esmeralda, when she played the leading role with ability and charm. Evalyne's chief talent, however, is writing, and as a journalist, she will win fame for the 1916 class. Basketball, 'I 5: Debatng Club.

He likes the girls, QU adores his pompadour, and likes to dance. Chet is always sure of what he says and sticks to it, no matter who dis- pules him. l-le has not selected the line of work he will take up, but would shine in the role of either a Dancing Master or a Parson, perhaps.

She will be a stenographer to the next President of the United States, perhaps William Jennings Bryan. Chorus. 'l5, 'l6: Basketball, 'l5. 'l6: Senior Play, 'l6. Zl
