Eccentricities, Continued Name Ruth Boal Raymond Deo Marie Fleisher Margaret Feather Marie Parketon Laurence Lauer Clara Penland Opal Burns Glenn Kinney Mary Kesterke Kathryn Fryman Russell Eggert Diagnosis Laughter on her lips, soul in her eyes, witty little lass, and sunny as the skies. He bluffeth. My Lord, how he bluffeth. My endeavors have ever come too short of my desires. To scale life’s ladder her ambition. To attain this end by concentration. I might be better if I would, but its awfully lonesome being good. A poet, orator, statesman, doctor and High Protector of the ladies all in one. Oh that I might find words big enough to express my ponderous thoughts. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. Men of few words are the best men. Not by her size- but by her disposition is she to be judged. Friendship, virtue, and every grace, are pictured in this happy face. Of him we may expect great things in the future. No. Gentlemen or Lady Friends One after another Wants Sleep on Monday Greatest Ambition It changes You can’t tell Shouldn’t ask To take things easy A Freshman To spring a new joke every day. Poetess None of your business One at a time, please Just “One” To do something worth while A good time She can’t seem to decide High life Lord only knows To be a Forester, but not live in the back-woods No special one To get married What greater ambition than to become a teacher Twenty, forty, sixty, keep going Negative quantity They increase daily Look out when you ask her Numberless To warn, to comfort and command More time Most anything To dissect animals “Everything” Doesn’t seem possible, but it’s to be a chorus girl To take care of cows on a dairy farm To increase her speed in typewriting To bring Howard up right To succeed D.
