VIRG1NIA W A RTEN BE A quiet modest girl. All who know her now calculate that in lift she will hi one of those lovely creatures who make life worth while, for those about her, in her own sweet way. Virginia has the rare quality of good common sense. “Her heart has no wrinkles.” ROBERT WORTHINOTON CLIFFORD BUEIIRER Class Treasurer. “Bob” is the only sunny-hair- ed lad in the class. He is just a little shy around the girls, but he can take eare of himself. “Three things doth shine, the sun. the moon,—my hair.” His quick wit and ready speech never fail him. “(lif” is right on ham! when there is “anything doing.” and we have no doubt as to his future success. His likes and dislikes are prominent and often expressed. He cannot be disturbed by any lady's glances; knows the workings of his own heart. He’s always sociable, polite and agreeable, you'll find.” LAURA WYATT Laura is a jovial and energetic girl, has high ideals and noble aspirations. In social matters she is the Junior partner of the com- pany. ‘‘Besse and I.” She talks very little of her love affairs. “Modest, simple and sweet, the very type of Priscilla.”
