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

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

B. L. Rice — Capital letters that are large are indica- tive of conceit and love of ostentation. Delicate strokes, devoid of any shading, show gentleness, culture, and spir- ituality; they also reveal sentimentality and love of so- ciety. This young man has the hest intentions, but he often makes mistakes; however, he always has an apology at his tongftte ' s end. B. L. Rice Ralph Robertson — This man is surely a genius. These beautiful and well-formed characters indicate some outlandish trait. Let no one think he knows what Rob- ertson will do next ; yet he is modest withal. The athlete and the scientist are written in the R ' s and future great- ness is clearly seen in the loop of the p . Because of his precocity he is likely to be a favorite with the elderly ladies. Ralph Robertson Aly Spencer — These letters reveal a person of quick sympathies and a generous nature. On the whole it shows a striking personality. Such a person will be ever ready to listen to your many woes, and equally ready to confide her own small grievances to you. She would make great sacrifices for principle and be quite ready to give her life for a noble cause, rulous. As a rule she would be a trifle gar- Aly Spencer 27
