By the Seniors she is looked upon as the best-all- round student in the class; by the entire high school she is considered the most talented — Alice, we are proud of you. Lena Rivers Langdon Benson, U. C. Phidelphian Society “ Toiling and smiling, onward she goes.” If you are looking for a quiet, sincere girl, one on whom you can depend and know that you will get her best, just turn to Lena. She has a word of cheer and a sunny smile for every one. Her lovable disposition and winning ways have won for her many true friends among the faculty as well as students. She believes firmly in the old saying, “To have a friend, be one.” Lena is very modest, unassuming and unselfish. She has attained the goal of Seniordom by hard, earnest work. When responsibility comes her way, she assumes it and does her duty well. Eighteen
