IDA A. I. BEHRENDT You are well favored and your looks show you have a gentle heart, The most remarkable thing about this popular member of the class of 1911 is the way she takes to German. She leaves her classmates far behind while she soars to heights unkown to ordinary mortals, talking German all - the way. HELEN STEVENS BELL CClioJ The cares of nations do weigh down thy head, Thy mind is busy with affairs of state. It is a constant question in the Senior class W'hat does Helen Bell find to do? Oh, nothing, especially, save trai11 Clio in the Way it should go, do every- thing the Senior president hasn't time for, see that the Forum is supplied with plenty of frivolous reading matter, and help make the Senior Annual the best yetf' In the the intervals she has daily appointments with Mr. Miller, Miss Raines and others of our beloved instructors. But in spite of her many, many activities there is one thing we can say for Helen, she always has time for her friends, which is perhaps the reason she has so many. Oberlin Univer- sity is to be the fortunate background of her college career. H ELEN BLUM M I shall not look upon her like again. Helen is rather an independent person, for she thinks that if people can- not Iike her without her pedigree they needn't like her at all, so she has never looked up her lineage. Next year she is going to have some fun to make up for lost time, she says, but we think Helen is one of the sort of girls who do 5 not lose time on the fun proposition. 1'

PAITLINE AUICRBACH 'itliveii to rare thought and to good learning hentj' Pauline with hrown eyes and auburn hair, was born in Kansas, but is now most enthusiastically from Missouri, and a loyal member of the best class in the state. Next to playing tennis she likes to study Latin, and we hope that in the Eastern finishing school she plans to enter, she n1ay have all she desires of both. , I xAT xi IF MARIE BARMAN C Alll'1lflC11 fan with golden hair. DONALD CH ESBRO BELL QA. N. PJ Ile was one of those men who charm eve1'ylmdy. Don was born in Qmaha, Neb., and is of Scotch-Irish and English descent. He distinguished himself as an actor when he carried the parts of Mr, Robertsn in The Garroters' and Sir Christopher Hatton in The Critic. He is business manager of the Senior Annual, and says his favorite amuse- ment is getting ads for the Annual. He is not dead sure whether he prefers Greek to any of his other studies, but he rather thinks he does. Donald has been a member of the track squad for the last two seasons. lNatahe hasn t any favorite study. Could it be that she loves them all the same? ' She is very fond of automobiling, the theatre and the lunch room. She does not intend to enter college but expects to continue her study of art, and from the talent she has displayed during her High School course, we are sure she will be successful.

MARIE GERTRUIJE BOVARD Is she not passing fair? Marie was born in St. joseph, Missouri. She has brown eyes and hair. Her favorite amusement is dancing. She agrees with most of us in considering the Senior year the hardest, but is not tired of study, it seems, for she intends to continue her studies in the University of Southern California. . EDGAR ROVVERS l'p! Up! my friend, and quit your books. Caruso, so named because of his enthusiastic support of music, is one of the many great members of our class. His enthusiasm, however, does not extend to all delightful studies of the class, to wit: Solid geometry, in the depths of which he occasionally plunges. It is really enlightening to hear his discussions with Mr. Fisher concerning the merits of certain problems. Barring this idiosyncrasy, which is, by no means, his alone, he is one of the best of our number and we expect great things from him. NELLE ISLYTH E ftjlioj Gent1est in mein and mind of gentle woniankindi' Vtfhen Nelle came to ns the beginning of this year from Monticello Sem- inary, she had never been in High School before and wasn't real sure that she would like it. But she is sure now and is rather glad that 1911 is the particular class she happened into. Nelle says that she intends to marry afarmer, and we imagine that he lives in this vicinity. '
