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. '

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'

l.lll,A BURNETTIC Sweet piece of lvashful maiden art. Lula is a quiet, brown-eyed girl, and although very unassuming, has won many friends in her school career. Better than all this, she has been able to keep them. Her future intentions are to stay at home and become proficient in the art of cooking, which she has begun so admirably in her school course. my Y , RALPH NORMAN BOYER tA.N.P.l Football '10 A fine chap and a faithful friend, Yeurpe claims that he is for woman suffrage but he has never yet made his reasons public. He is a true football player for he has said that play- ing football is his favorite amusement. His favorite part of the school is the football field, and it was he who made the touchdown against Omaha. lle plans to enter Missouri University after graduating from Central. Ralph has been a faithful member of the track squad. HIELIQN BULLARD BROXVN QClioj Virtues and general graces, in themselves speak what no words can utter. Helen has one of those extremely rare minds which take in vast and sublime ideas without pain. She has lived in almost all the civilized parts of North America and consequently never runs out of material with which to en- tertain her many admirers. She wishes that someone would invent rubber books so that she might enjoy both of her favorite amusements, reading and swimming at the same time. After finishing college she intends to become a librarian.
