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.

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.

OTTA RAY HANWAY, Otta Ray Y. W. C. A. (cabinet); Lo- tus Club. Otta Ray is said by the mem- bers of the Lotus Club to be an in- terlocutor of great ability. How- ever, a man would not be admitted to the black face performances of the Lotus Club, so we will have to take their word. MARY HANNA Philo; Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club. Mary tried Oxford away back in 06, but it didn ' t suit her, so she came to a real school. She ' s not the only one who has done it, and to judge from her smile she is sat- isfied with the change. IRENE BROOKS HUNT, Dot Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club; Philo; Drift Staff ' 09. Dot is said to have obtained her nickname from her chronic in- ability to arrive on the dot, — that ' s one story. Another goes that she was so pokey ' that they called her Polka Dot (pronounced pokey-dot ), and as that was too long to call her for short, they had to change it to Dot. Take your choice.
