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

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

W. P. Nash — Plain, unaffected schopl-boy writing shows a man of honesty and integrity, ingenuous and true, straightforward in purpose, but somewhat inclined to overestimate his own worth and influence upon the world. He has a jealous disposition, and. worse than that, needs to he closely watched lest he become desperate and give way to his tendencies, for they clearly would lead him to steal (Steele). W. I ' . Nash Otway Pardee — This specimen of handwriting indi- cates energy, restlessness, enthusiasm, a quickness of per- ception, mental acuteness, a very nervous temperament, sparkling wit, and vivacity. Quick temper is shown in the crossing of the t . This excessive energy is bound to startle the world, for this is the stuff of which a Luther is made. Otway Pardee B. M. Rastall — We can infer from the general char- acter that the writer takes things quietly and impassively, and would seldom let his feelings interfere with his plans. It also shows a love of authority ; he might he a despot if given the opportunity; he would he a fierce opponent, hut his tongue would do more harm than his fists although he prides himself on his skill with the gloves. Undoubtedly this person is clever, and old for his years. B. M. Rastall •2C
