MARIE AGNES TILSON, Tinsel Class Vice-Pres., ' 09; Lotus Club Treas. ' 08, Vice- Pres. ' 09 ; Collegian Staff; Drift Staff, ' 09. Marie is usually referred to as Tinsel, although a few of her friends call her Agnes. She is one of the most enthusiastic work- ers in the choir and ably seconds Lora Hussey in the rendition of the beautiful verses of Number Two. It is said that she is interested in young lawyers, generally and spe- cifically. ANNA KATHERINE MURPHY, ■•Mother Lotus Club, Pres. ' 10; Dramatic Club; Editor Senior Edition Collegian ' 10; Instructor in English ' 10; Drift Staff 09. Ann Katherine, Mother, or Lydia Ann, is Mally ' s sister, or rather Mally is Anna K. ' s brother. Talks, walks, and does everything else with the high speed gear on, the throttle open, the spark ad- vanced, etc. She is very fond of German as a study, and while a great favorite of the Pretzel-bender is suspected of having incited a strike. Found vent for her powers as ■ Mother in Esmeralda ' and made a hit. MONTA ANDERSON, Y. W. C. A.; Chemical Club ' 09- ' 10. She has been suspected of teaching school. One would natur- ally suspect a graduate of State Normal of doing such things. Any- how, she took a year off to come over and wrest an A. B. away from our unsympathetic and stony- hearted faculty, and she seems about to do it.

THOSE SENIORS BLANCHE AVON RYKER PMlo; Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club. Blanche Avon Ryker ' — hasn ' t that all the beautiful sounds of green fields and running brooks? Anyhow, it ' s a name and it stands for a stately and dignified senior girl, who makes an excellent sub- ject for the dreams of the theologs. D(ANIEL) SOMXER ROBINSON, D. Somner Class Pres. 10; Philo, Pres. ' 08; Sandwich Club; Debating ' 06, ' 07; Orator ' 08, ' 09, ' 10. Indiana University Fellow. Daniel was a good old-fash- ioned name and just suited for a preacher, but during his wild col- lege days it was natural that one should prefer to be known by the more festive appellation of D. Somner. So it ' s D. Somner. ' He is Butler ' s famous near-orator, chiefly remarkable for his bubbling delivery and his steadfast decision not to buy a Drift. MAUDE BOSTON, Mud 1 Kappa Alpha Theta; Lotus Club; Girls ' Basket Ball. ' 06- ' 07; Director Orches- tra, ' 09- ' 10. Mud ' s nickname must have been given her by her infant broth- er when learning to talk, for one look will convince the skeptic that Mud ' s face didn t deserve it. (This is a nice compliment.) She has a peculiar, fascinating and soothing power in discourse — then she has other interests. And who would suspect it from one so nonchalant?

LORA HUSSEY, Gussie Pi Beta Phi; PWlo; Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club; Class Vice-Pres. ' 08- ' 09; Drifl Staff ' 09; Chapel Choir: Chorus of The Sky Scrappers. Of manner gentle, meek and mild — sometimes. ' That is what her friends say. To see her sitting in the choir singing the inspiring words of Number Two one would not even suspect that at times her resolve could be unshakeable. JOHN WESLEY BURKHARDT Sandwich Club, Pres. ' 09. 10; Y. M. C. A. John very seldom goes out in the dark. He can ' t. ' Cause why? Oh! guess. John belongs to the Married Men ' s Club, his wife be- longs to the Mothers Club, and they have a cow and all other ac- cessories. John is so modest that he won ' t even wear his cap and gown. FANNIE JULIA BRADEN, Fan Tan Drift Staff ' 09. The only girl in Butler with nerve enough to take a course in economics. Believes in Art with a capital A and spends most of her time at the Herron Art Institute. Draws from life, still life, paints in water colors and embroiders.
