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.

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.

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. '

MARIE MARGUERITE BURVENICH The azure of her eyes, is the azure of the skies. Marie's name tells us that she is not Irish, but she has the pleasing com- bination of blue eyes and black hair. She has no favorite study although she has inclinations' toward physics and sometimes revels in the delights Q?j of chemistry. She does not intend to enter college. I RUTH BURGERT Peace shines upon her face. Ruth was'born in Newton, Kansas, and admits that she is a staunch Republican. English is her favorite study, but she names the lunch room as her favorite place, showing she appreciates material joys as well as mental ones. She does not say what future she has planned, but we know that whatever she undertakes will be done well. NEVVTON CARSON A proper man as one shall see. Newt, was born in New Hampton, Mo., and while he was yet a mere child the townsmen recommended that his parents take him to St. Joseph, where he might train his rare intellect. So it was that this tall, blue- eyed, fair haired youth came to us. Sickness caused Newton to lose one term, but his Scotch-Irish ingenuity led him to the exalted chamber in the hall of fame of the St. J. C. H. VVe hope this same ingenuity will carry him safely through Missouri University. L-...S
