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-

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

QXX-GE if lo f Q 914 l Qpj4.vaqfm:4m-9573, n- E A0-4TEg P- MILDRED EVANS. Emporia, Kansas. A.B. in Modern Language Group. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, '13-'14, Aftermath President, '13, Graduate in Piano, '12, German Club, Has- perids, French Glee Club, Four Hundred.. , A generous soul is sunshine to the w1nd.' Mildred's gifts are many and varied. She can compose a rhyme or a song or a classroom recita- tion quick as a cat can blink her eye. Mildred can operate like everything on the piano keys, and an undoubted testimony to her patience and good nature is that she can even bring a tune out of the Cabinet organ. Those who surround her in chapel have frequently heard her say, I just love that hymn. V v LEVERETTE FITTS. Minneapolis, Kansas. A.B. in History Group. Y. M. C. A., Winner Hood Prize, '10, Williams Contest, '09, Peace Contest, '14, Kenyon Contest, '10, '11, '14, State Peace Contest, '14, Vice-Presi-I dent State Oratorical Association, '14, Winning Team Potter Contest, '12, Southwestern Debate, '11-'14, Secretary-Treasurer Hesperids, '11-'12, President, '13-'14, Glee Club, '09-'10, '10-'11, Col- lege Quartet, '11-'12, President Male Chorus, '13-'14, Baseball E, '10-'11-'12-'14, Football E, '10-'11- 'l3,'Baseball Manager, '12, President Class '13, ,Junior Year, President Mathonian, '10-'ll-'12, In- structor in Academy, '14. Mirth, with thee I mean to live. ' Mirth and jollity make up a large part of Levi's life all right. He possesses an abundance for his own use and passes the overflow to everybody. His vocabulary may properly be called a stunner , no one would dare quote it or even understand it. His speeches always have you just a little bit dizzy, but you enjoy them just the same. LETTIE LITTLE. Emporia, Kansas. A.B. in English Group. - Y. W. C. A., Aftermath Secretary, '10, President, '14, Class Historian, '13. ' To be capable of steady friendship and lasting love are the two greatest proofs,'not only of good- ness, but of strength of mind. We had a hard time choosing a quotation for Lettie for her .virtues are so many and so illustrious that the selection of a fitting one was difficult. We decided that the above just about brings in every- thing, so we've chosen it. Lettie can recite in every class even when they are four straight and she is renowned for her patience and good humor in the matter of comments on Methodist Faith. ,- 30
