Ray M. Dickinson — There is one fact that stands out above all else in this handwriting — the owner is in love. From the small size of the letters one would say he was faint-hearted, and inclined to underestimate himself. He would take things quietly and impassively ; would never push himself forward, but would stay in the back- ground, safely hidden in the corners. Such an R is always made by a home-loving person with domestic ten- dencies. Ray M. Dickinson Elizabeth Elliot — Carelessness and indecision are here revealed, and a tendency to be too critical, together with extreme sensitiveness when the criticism is directed against herself. She wants to be a diligent student, but has a secret leaning towards several varieties of frivolity. However, this writing is indicative of true worth and high ideals, linked with a burning zeal to attain them. Elizabeth Elliot Hildreth Frost — This writing reveals either a gen- ius or a freak. He is childlike .and simple with exceed- ingly good intenti ons, although a little apt to make mis- takes. One with this kind of writing should never ven- ture on the ice, or expect to attain much skill in tripping the light fantastic. It is likely that if he should ever ven- ture into law he would get badly tangled in it. His place is in the ranks of scientists and mathematicians, and there some day, unless all signs fail, he will surely win a name for himself. Hildreth Frost 23

Chose Seniors N ORDER to do the Senior class full justice and to free itself from all blame, the Annual Board has sent the collection of Senior autographs to some famous graphologists who agreed to read the character of each Senior. They had nothing- to gfiride them hut the handwriting, and S5 LV ' fc rom that alone the following has been produced . Grace Bradshaw — This handwriting is straight and exact, denoting a methodical person, who is, however, apt to be a little too much in a hurry ; one who is persevering and precise and well cut out for an old maid. Yet there is a striking incongruity, namely, the upward stroke of the final w ; for this always indicates a flirtatious and insin- cere nature. This young woman would make a good student, not a dig, but an earnest worker, ready for fun at the proper time. Grace Bradshaw Judson L. Cross — This young man is very obstinate, as shown by the descending terminals. He is easily of- fended, but ready to be friends again — if the other fellow will acknowledge himself in the wrong. It can be clearly seen that he is apt to take life too seriouslv and to be anx- ious to carry the burdens of the whole world upon his own shoulders. He might be capable of tender feelings; probably some of his relatives, cousins perhaps, could speak for that. Our ozvn observation. He knows how to get out an Annual. Judson L. Cross Leta E. Cutler Leta E. Cutler — This feminine hand shows a pre- cise and gentle disposition, inclined to be timid and shy. She would not hurt the feelings of any of her fellow mor- tals even were it in her power. Her aspirations are prob- ably very high, but because of her retiring nature no one knows of them. She is a winsome, wee thing. 22

Louis Gillett — A bashful nature is shown here; a youth who is very timid, utterly unsophisticated and ex- tremely ignorant of the ways of this wicked world. We would advise yon never to ask a girl what kind of hoy he is, for she will not know, since he probably shuns them as he does his professors, for he believes both are lying in wait to trap him into a terrible doom. By the way he crosses his t ' s one can see that he is a good fellow and worthy of confidence. Louis Gillett Ben Griffith — The G here shows an athletic tem- perament and reveals great possibilities in many different lines, especially of gracefulness in the dance. One would judge that this young man had all those graces which make a favorite, an all-around good fellow, with an at- tractive and winsome disposition. The way the double letters are formed shows a desire for a better reputation than is really merited, and should he a warning to the nigfht watchman. Ben Griffith Andrew Hoyne — In the capital letters are revealed determination carried to such a degree that it might he called stubbornness. Culture and refinement are also present. One would never expect the owner of this hand- writing to loll in his seat, hands in pockets, at Chapel time, or to absently dream through an ethical talk. The forms of the vowels show deep religions convictions and a doubtful wit. Andrew Hovne ■2 I
