Q E A X X E Q b . f I mr 1914 . . ALLA RAH-1 fa 95 . si K E l ADA CANNADY. Emporia, Kansas. A.B. in English Group. Y. W. C. A., Aftermath, Secretary-Treasurer of Class in Sophomore Year. Who stands serene amid the world's dense fear- This one hath found a ladder to the sky VVhose every rung is brave humility. Even if Ada seems meek on the outside, who can tell what orful things lie hidden? We wish We could remain as calm and self-possessed amid the storms oflife. CWhewJ Ada's scholarship must not be forgotten. She has taken all the Latin in the catalogue, and all the other hard things she could seize, and has not been the dullest scholar by some distance. Ada is loyal to her class, her society, and everything else with which she has been con- nected. She is going to demonstrate amo-amas- amat to High School Youngsters. RUBY CLYMER. Emporia, Kansas. . A.B. in English Group. ' Y. W. C. A., Alethean Secretary, '14, Social Service Club. In your patience' ye are strong. ' p She's a ruby to a dot. We Wish we had half the patience that she displays in several matters. First and foremost, in more ways than one, is this: Being classed with the C's, she has had to sit on the front row all her life. Isn't that enough? Keep to the fore, Ruby. Ruby's love for Rollo isa well-known fact on the campus. Ruby scorns all men but him. The only fault we have to End' in Ruby is that she is too shy about airing her knowledgeffor we know the knowledge is there, Ruby. FERN CONNER. Emporia, Kansas. A.B. in Modern Language Group. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, President Alethean, '13-'14, Social Service Club. Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle. Yes, though Fern is little she's cute and we're so glad. As a possible quotation from any day of Col- lege Life we suggest Whoop,. Whoop Center Fernj. Croupy has used this all winter to get out of classes early. Oh, we know, Fern asks us not to forget to say something about Eringo- braughng now weive done it, and you can't tell how relieved we are. We hoped an inspiration would move us-or the ink in our pens-to think of some- thing stingy and mean to say about her, but it's no use. Fern's a tough subject to criticize. She says she won't have anything to confess at the Faculty Breakfast. We should worry. 28

Our Senior passage had been a stormy -one. Mutiny, which arose on several occasions, was finally suppressed, and we are nearing the harbor, not of mere-dreams, but of . fulfilled dreams, of realized hopes, of accomplished ambitions, 'we are, according to all Chapel speakers, almost prepared to live. Qur class is a distinguished one. We were the last to enjoy a Hag scrap, from a Sophomore point of view, we are the last. to enjoy the privilege of special time for casting anchor in the harbor and leaving footprints on the sands, we have had more athletesthan any other class, we have w-on many prizes and many Es , wehave among our number the winner of a State Oratorical Contest, and we are particularly unique in this, we have only one pair-who seem ready to set out together in a house-boat, but we are surely counting on them. . Death has claimed one who was a member of our class for three years. We mourn the loss of Leonard Knox, so brilliant a scholar and so line a man. Well, harbor is in sight and we're- almost ready to disembark and climb the hills to the heights of Success We've had a pleasant trip on the Sea of Ef, and we're sorry that it is so nearly finished. , But may we always ever know, However far off we may be, That our anchors hold fast By links with the past Deep down in on Sea of E. u F.

Cabinet, '12-'13, '13-'14, Secretary- Treasurer Student Government Association, '12-'13, Alethean President, '13-'14, ' I Let me live in the house by the side of the road, And be a friend of man. , Alice was described by one of her many friends as a girl who was nice to everyone. Ditto, Alice. She is faithful to whatever line of work she applies herself, which is saying a good deal, considering how many lines there are. Alice is neither all rag- time nor all hymn. She cheers a touch-down just as much as she enjoys a social service meeting. Alice never fails to have a good thought to give others and she is a never-ending hope to a Y. W. leader. . FLORA BROOKS. Emporia, Kansas. ' A.B. in English Group. President Y. W. C. A., '13-'14, Alethean, Secre- tary-Treasurer Junior Class, Social Service Club. It warms me, it charms me, To mention but her name, It heats me, it heats me, And sets me a' on flame. 'Twas writ of Flora in one of these books, Some- times from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages. I-Iow times have changed: Her mes- sages now come from her tongue and are ocften accompanied by an indexer, and alwaYS by H ,Gee I-7uz. She is the sort that could be both president and trgasufef Of every organization in college and still preserve a good disposition. Her favorite an- nouncement is, Cabinet meeting Monday' CV?U1U3, at the Dormitory, and she's there, too. Elora is' 801118 to 'teach school, Oh, to be a CH- S-I glfl 3851712-
