ALONZO EARL CASE A man of genius is not a machine. 'fCasey was born in this burg sometime in the last quarter of the 19th A century and has Swedish, Scotch and Irish blood in his veins. Many noted Puritans are among his ancestors. He graced the football squad in '09. He says spooning is his favorite amusement but we have never caught him in the act. Doc intends to enter the medical department of either Chicago or Northwestern University and afterwards to kill or cure a l11illiO11. He is al- ready a registered pharmacist, IELIQANORE L. CLAR K Friendly to all Hostile to none. This worthy descendant of a distinguished Maryland congressman is one of 1911's very best students given to rare thought and to good learning bent -despite the fact that McCutcheon is her favorite author. Although she has not stated her intentions after leaving High School, we feel sure that, whatever they may be, they will make her a credit to the finest class. RAY ALLEN COOKSEY f'A face more fair, a form more neat It ne'er hath been my luck to meet. Cooks'l claims to be a follower of Democratic principles, and the line of least resistance. In his case the result is a happy one, for he radiates good nature and doesn't care whether school keeps or not. He was a member of the Mandolin Club in 1908, but gave up musical pursuits that he might have more time to devote to chemistry. At present he does not intend to enter college.

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

JAMES cARLE'roN CLAY tA.N.P.j Friemls. Romans, Countryman! Patrick Henry first saw the light of day in thelittle burg of Dearborn, Mo., sometime during the nineteenth century. Early in life he became noted for his use of polysyllables and very often shocked his kindergarten teacher by his flow of oratory and eloquence. This, however, seems to run in the family, for one of Carleton's ancestors was the much famed Henry Clay. He is un- settled as to his future intentions, but his flow of language combined with the fact that he is an ardent Democrat gives us an idea of the Field he may enter. FLORENCE JEFFERSON COLT Fair is she to behold, that maiden of seventeen summers. Florence is one of those happy girls who is always ready to have some fun. Anyone can see this just by looking at her dimples and mischevious eyes. During her High School course she has become a favorite among her schoolmates and teachers. She is a good cook, as some in the class know, although the fact is not confined to the class alone. She intends to enter Stout Institute and become. a Domestic Science teacher. f gl ROBERT LENOX CRISVVELL Sti1l. achieving, still pursuing. It was in the early nineties that Lenox honored the metropolis of St. joseph by becoming a citizen of said community. He is at the present time a staunch Missourian and a faithful supporter of the blue and white. He does not State his future hopes or intentions, but since he delights in chemistry and easily wades through some of Mr. Fisher's problems, we would infer that his future career is in philosophical research.
