GLENN BRYAN HOOVER Football 08'-'09-'10, Basketball, '09-'10, hliverylmdy likes him, for he's a jolly good fellow. Behold the famous Pinky, a favorite with the class, especially the girls. A relative of Mcliinley, an eager reader of Nick Carter, and an ardent Democrat. He loves all his teachers, but is too bashful to give us his well- known nickname. Glenn goes in for all kinds of athletics and has been a basketball and football player for the past three years. When the proud possessor of a St. J. H. diploma he intends to enter the State University. EDNA GRETCHEN JIEFFRIES Cliianthianl A mind serene for contemplation. This is the talented young poetess who has written the words for the Dianthian song, of which the society is justly proud. Gretchen is another member of our class who has helped materially in making 1911's average scholarship so high. She declares that her favorite amusement is talking, and she certainly does verify her statement by her excellent recitations. ll1l.l.lAlNl AMOS JORDAN CA. N. Pj Mother calls me William, but the fellers call me Bill. Forum static 'OH-'10-' l l. Editor in chief '11, Executive Committee Athletic Association '1l. Track Team '11, Billie is a very modest lad and in a most enlightening manner informs those who inquire into his versatility that he is a descendant of Johnathan Edwards. He is certainly trying to do his part to keep up the standard his forefather has set for him. Willianfs favorite amusement is dreaming over the lines of Walter Camp, Homer, Roosevelt, Churchill, Xenophon, Victor Hugo or maybe Virgil ?f?? It is to be expected that many great men and women will come from the class of '11, but of this blue-eyed youth we expect great things. VVe all hope that he may realize his highest ideal and become the President ofthe highest institution where blue and white are sacred, Yale.
