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.

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.

CARL HARRY BARNETT, Father Delta Tau Delta ; pa Alpha ; Philo Club; Y. M. C. A. ' 07 ; Baseball Tau Kap- Sandwich Pres. ' 06- manager ' 07 ; Oratorical representative ' 07 Class Day Plays ' 06, ' 07, ' 08, ' 09, ' 10 ; Baseball team ' 04, ' 05, ' 07, ' OS. The father of his class. He came from Plainfield — or at least the catalogue says so, but it was so long ago that very few of us re- member just when it was. ROBERT JAMES McKAY, Bob, Mary ' s Lamb Sigma Chi : Philo ; Dramatic Club, Pres. ' 07 ; Class Pres. ' OS; Basket Ball, Capt. ' 07: Tennis Team. doubles and singles ' 07, doubles ' 0 9 ; Foot Ball, Capt. ' OS; Baseball: Drift Staff 09; Senior Scholarship ' 10. Besides all this Bob has been on nearly every athletic team and orchestra, and yet he has devoted most of his time to campustry. He tried Westminster for one term, but it was too far away from Green- field, for as a lady s man, Bob is the most consistent in Butler. Bob is a mighty good fellow — don ' t for- get it. GRANVILLE FRANK POWERS, Billy Philo, Pres. ' OS, ' 10; Sandwich Club, Pres. ' 10; Y. M. C. A., Pres. ' 0 7; Intercollegiate Ora- torical Contest, ' 08 ; Class Treas. ' 10 ; Treas. State Ora- torical Assn. ' OS ; Manager Baseball Team ' 10. How or why on earth a person with, such an imposing front name as Granville should come to be known only as Billy is a mys- tery. Once in a while he does a funny stunt in chapel, but his chief claim to fame is holding of the standing broad grin championship. His grin is of the kind made cele- brated by the Quaker Oats Com- pany.
