Frank C. Lewis, A. B., S. X., Franklin. A little bit of a woman came Athwart my path one day . ' ' —Eugene Field. •• Spike was born in 1.S74. In 189lt he was president of his class and manager of the University foot-ball team, Although he has considerable ability as a base-ball player and debater, his chief reputation has been gained as a singer on account of which he will be remembered by his class. Because of his shrewdness and sagacity he is peculiarly fitted for the law, in which he will find his future delight. Hubert L. Nichoi,, A. B., Franklin. He is wilful, mutable. Shy, untamed, ' r scrnt h . — Emerson . Nichol, though of somewhat tender years, is our celebrated elocutionist. He has studied under various artists, chief among whom is Prof. C. Edmund Niel of Denison University. His success in this branch is no more a matter of conjecture. As an acute thinker, more than once has he baffled the Profs, with his keen questions. Mary Ida Mead, Ph. B., Philoniathean. Dear deluding woman, the joy of joys. — Bums. Miss Mead comes from the wild woolly west, her home being in South Dakota. Her first great trial in college life was to battle with that terrible malady, so common to every new stu- dent—homesickness. She then fully realized that, distance lends enchantment. When a Freshie she became noted for her brilliancy in Trig and Freshman A . She has bright prospects for a successful career. Her quick decision and prudence (?) will solve life ' s knotty problems, for who has not heard how well these qualities were displayed when she pawned her watch? Gertrude Iris Mili,er, B. S., Philomathean. Trembling maid Of her own gentle voice afraid. — Jffoore. Miss Miller is from Bellevue, Ohio, and has spent five years at Denison. She took the course in biology, and learned to say long words almost as rapidly as Prof. Herrick. Among the sterner sex she counts more than one victim to her charms, but has escaped with no serious injury to her own heart — having given it away for safe keeping some time ago. 27

Cecil Sh?:pakd Hines, B. S. If at first you don ' t succeed, etc. Hines came to this world iu 1880 and has succeeded in adapt- ing himself to this environment and begins to feel somewhat at home. He is a fine student, an able speaker, with a well developed love for the beautiful which he finds some difficulty 111 gratifying. This will have a great deal to do with determin- ing the future course of his life. rCuGENE Barney Hueeman, A. B., S X. ' ' Every inch that is not fool is rogue. — ryrt ' i?; . Short was born A. D. 1870. He is our worthy chaplain and owing to his tender and .sympathetic disposition, is greatly beloved by his flock. An able foot-ball player, with fine phy- sique and winning ways he is very popular at the Sem. He was our class treasurer in ' 98 and ' 99. The law is to be his profession. RuFU-S GiFFEN Jones, B. S., 6. T. A., Calliope. Your ancient, but ignoble blood Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood - Pope. He was born sometime in the seventies. His ability as a student is well known, but his mark in the world is to be made as a hum(3rist. He is all the time saying funny things and that too unconsciously. In some things he is quite radical; but it is thought that even this will add to his greatne.ss. Prosperity attend tin e Ruf. George Wright Lewis, A. B., Franklin. Though his skill 1 be cudgel-proof. He ' s orthodox, and that ' s enough. —John Trunibull. George Lewis is short but sweet (?). Being a faithful stu- dent of English, he is a great favorite of Prof. Williams, As President of the college Y. M. C. A he has guarded its interests with a great deal of anxiety. He has often been expo.sed to great dangers. At one lime he was almost captured by a Wolfe. It is thought that this, however, will do much towards fitting him for the battles of life. 26

U., member of the board of control of athletics, chairman of Y. M. C. A. lecture course committee he has manifested great ability. He is at present manager of the University base ball team. His reputation as professor of luiglish has given him a wide acquaintance. On the subject of marriage he agrees with Stockberger in the main. Nathaniei James Perkins, A. B.; B 6 It ; Franklin. Lives of great men, etc. Prrkins is a good fellow. In 1899 he served as Vice-Presi- dent of the class and President in the following year. His honesty and integrity have given him a high place among his fellow students. During his administration in Franklin, much was done to pay the society debt. His plans for the future are not fully developed, though he thinks of teaching. William Frank Powell, B. S., Franklin. To make a happy fire-side clime to weans and wife That ' s the true pathos and sublime of human life. — Burns. Frank is one of the nice, quiet sort of fellows greatly beloved by his class-mates. As a base-ball player he is a great success. His calling is as yet undetermined, though he may preach. He has for some time been a member of a very interesting class in science. What the result will be is not fully known, though it (?) is supposed to have had a great influence upon his life. Wm. Anderson Roudebush, A. B., B e 11, Franklin. Fools are known by looking wise. As men tell woodcocks by their eyes. — Butler. Roude is more modern than some people give him credit for being. He bears the great distinction of being the leading athlete of Denison University, winning the gold medal in 1901. On social culture and etiquette he is a recognized authority of more than local reputation, so that we have no anxiety about his not making a mark in the world. 28
