E. J. LAKE, A. B. Apollonian; Vice-President Apollonian (2); Presi- dent Apollonian (3): Inter-Society debate (2); Inter-State debate (3); President Oratorical (3); Assistant Editor Annual (3); President Tennis Association (4); President Class (4). To be sure much is dependent upon the point of view. For ex- ample, let ' s take Mr. Lake. (With a drawl and peculiar buzzing.) He ' s somewhat of a cynic, I know, but how does the aphor- ism run, ' youth is a period of ex- tremes, its faith is most absolute, its cynicism is most entire. ' How- ever, he ' ll eventually settle down inside a Ladies ' Home Journal cottage. It is rumored in ' Tgh Sassierty ' that Miss Carter is seriously contemplating making her debut in that most charming of light operas ' The Singing Girl. ' ( Phonograph ominously si- lent — a faint in the quarter of the artistic department). (Phono- graph continuing. ) Don ' t be alarmed, ladies, Mr. Slauson, an unimpeachable authority, abso- lutelv denies the above statement MABELLE CARTER, Ph. B. Colorado Springs Secretary Oratorical Association (3) (Too modest to permit publishing of photograph.) DANIEL R. SLAUSON, Ph. B. Miltonian; Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club (3) (4) President Miltonian (4) 23

PARLEY IN GS W IT H CERTAIN PEOPLE Characters — A Phonograph and the Annual Board. Scene — The unnatural dignity and omniscience of the Senior Class, consisting of strong sporting proclivities, tempered by demure self-containedness and infinite tact; clear optimistic weather permeated by Prexy ' s ethicals and desultory readings in Browning, is the prevailing atmosphere. The Annum, Board — In session at South Hall, desperately work- ing in the last stages of inertia. Knock at the door. The Board (in chorus) Come in. (Enter small boy with large package.) Small boy. With the compliments of the Nugget Staff of 1903. Editor, ( untying package). A Phonograph. Board (in chorus) enthusiastically. Turn it on. Editor reads di- rections and excitedly touches key. Phonograph, (with insipid banjo-like quality of tone). Ahem! Would it not be a commendable idea, ladies and gentlemen, when a fellow feels that he must make confidences, if he would talk into a phonograph? Its repetition could then be controlled and if listened to in another mood really ought to be of salutary effect. ' The Annual Board, (immediately interested, starting as the phono- graph pauses). Whose voice? Phonograph (continuing). But when it comes to making confi- dences about other people and especially concerning that august and eru- dite body, the Senior class, it becomes a matter of rushing in where pro- fessors fear to tread. But 1 presume that you are all intimately acquainted with ' naughty-three ' and so you will not take these confidences too ser- iously. 22

LOUISE WOODWARD CURRIER, A. B. Greeley, Colorado Contemporary; Y. W. C. A.; President Y. W. C. A. (4); Delegate to Geneva (3) and in speaking for himself he told me in secret, that his great ambition was to beat the war drum for His Majesty, King Ep- icurus, of the Fiji Islands. Somehow or other, I have al- ways been misled as to Miss Cur- rier, but first impressions are sometimes wrong impressions. Appearances of a truth are de- ceitful. ' The demurest of Quaker gray is often lined with the most brilliant plaid. ' Everyone who is capable of appreciating Mr. Hun- ter will concede that he is some- thing of an — er — well something of an erratic genius. Perhaps music is his bald spot, but the proof of genius in these piping times of peace seems to be the testifying to somebody ' s hair ton- ic in the advertisement depart- ment of the ' Nugget.
