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.

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.

WILLARD BARTON DAVIS He is complete in feature and in mind With all good grace, to grace a gentleman. This celebrity has brown eyes and black hair, and his chief joy and de- light is motoring, we suppose, on Felix street, as he is often seen there. Al- though Willard enjoys a good time as much as anyone, you can count on him for his share of the work, particularly at Senior parties. lVillard's talent for the violin is well known, as he has been a valued member of our famous orchestra all through his High School course. VICTORIA DUNCAN fCli0j Daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair, This blue-eyed young person is most decidedly pretty, the class of 1911 having signified its approval of her appearance by voting her class beauty. She is very fond of tennis in the cool, gray hours of the dawn but thinks that algebra at that time is even more delightful. She has not decided upon her future career, but we can imagine what it will be. STEPHEN A. DORSEY Football '10, Baseball '08, The brutal game of football. Chick first began to cackle in Ogden, Utah, and is an Irish youth with brown eyes and hair, the latter trimmed in football style. He was a decided factor in the success of our football team, his punting being a feature of every game. He says he finds sleeping a comfortable and profitable pastime, but no one ever noticed the slightest symptoms of drowsiness about him, as he is always awake enough to go through the other elevenu with ease. Stephen is still young and intends to make some kind of hit in college.
