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

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

Grace Loomis — The more nearly handwriting ap- proaches the conventional standard of copper plate the iess striking is the writer ' s individuality. The well- formed letters also indicate an orderly and methodical person, of a kind disposition when not crossed ; but one who would be ungenerous to rivals, most of all, to rivals in the physical department. This is a secretive nature, hut we can see within it a secret love affair which is but poorly concealed. Grace Loomis Hugh McLean — No final strokes to the letters indi- cate selfishness and a certain amount of conceit. It is also an indication of talent and ambition ; nearly all literary persons write in this manner. Joined to this mental clev- erness is a tendency which may wreck all ambitions, a longing for the sights and sounds of other lands and an infatuation for fair faces and the owners thereof. Let us sound a note of warning — Beware! take care! Hugh McLean Merle McClintock — The well-stroked t shows a strong will and perseverance. The rounded letters show fondness of ease ; this person woidd probably work only when under the lash. Perhaps she would make an artist, if she would practice a little more. Exclusiveness is also disclosed in this writing, such an individual would hide all the real emotions of her heart and show only a cold and severe exterior. 25 Merle McClintock
