Clifford S. Stillwell, B. S., B. ©. n.. Franklin. Glee Club, ' 09- ' I2; Mgr., ' 12; D. D. D., ' 09- ' 12, Ch. Com.. ' 12; Toaster Junior B. ; Press Club; Denisonian Staff, ' 11; Boosters ' Club ; Cheer Leader, ' 1 0. Like Caruso, Cliff ' s fortune lies in his voice, but unlike Caruso, Cliff ' s talent has a very wide range as may be seen by his performance in cheap vaudeville (Denison D. D. D.) as well as in Grand Opera (Denison Glee Club.) Lovers of music w ' ere dismayed when they heard that he had been elected Varsity Cheer Leader, but they have since recovered in a measure. Cliff recently took an extended tour over the country with his famous company and upon his return, strange to relate, the students found that the manager was still-well. Raymond Bradley Stevens, B. S. Franklin. Secy., Treas., Pres., Franklin; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 10- ' 12; Secy. Geo. Soc, ' 1 1- ' 12; Treas. Minis. Assn., ' 1 0- ' 1 1 ; Class Treas. ' 10- ' 11; Boosters ' Club, ' 11- ' 12; Pres. B. Y. P. U., ' 1 1 - ' 1 2 ; Swasey Deb. Team, ' lO- ' l 1 ; Capt. Barney Deb. Team, ' 1 1- ' 12. Steve is one of the hard men of Denison. Hard to study, hard to convince, and sometimes hard to find, but then he is a busy man. ' Sakes alive, have .you ever heard him debate, well he is hard to beat. He has a good record in debating, but a condition in Domestic Science mars an otherwise spjotless record. Ah, Steve, the way of transgressors is hard. We bate to see you go, but joy be with you. Ivan Ray Tannehill, B. S., A. N. S., Calliope. Press Club; Asst. Biol., ' 11; Junior Toaster W. B., ' 1 1 ; W. B. Com.; D. D. D. Com., ' 12; Ch. Lect. Course Com., ' 12; Pres. Calliope, ' 11; Pres. A. A,, ' 11; Art Ed. Ady. ; Ed. Denisonian, ' 1 0- ' I 1 : Ass ' t Editor, ' 1 0- ' 1 1 . Here is a specimen that defies interpretation. He simply won ' t elucidate himself. Four years of college life have opened up so many avenues for his genius that he might wake up any morning and find himself Vice Presidential candidate on the Eepublican ticket, contributing editor of the Philistine, or Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of St. James. The fact is that he could hold down any two of these jobs, and still find time to run the Lecture Course and meet weekly with the Press Club. . . . Farewell Ivan, Denison ' s literary rushlight will burn dimmer when you are once gone.

LOUYS A. RUMSEY, B. S., A. N. 2., Calliope. Strvker H. S., ' 08; Musical Club; Mandolin Club, Mgr., ' 1 1- ' 12; Mgr. Football. ' 1 1- ' I2. If to have a nickname is to be known of men, then Eiimsey ' s fame is secure with us. Not only has he one such handle, but his good fairy, as if foreseeing how great was going to be her protege ' s modesty, let him have two. So he answers to either Lou or to the less euphonious call of Butch. The latter comes from the Football team, and they say Hewins is to blame. Where ' ' Lou ' ' comes from they are all French, and he can rattle you off a staec-atto Saperlotte ! as well as any Gascon born. With the rest of 1912 we wish him Bon Voyage. Robert M. McCann, B. S. Doane Academy; Class Football, Baseball, Basketball; Y. M. C. A., House Com., ' 09- ' 10; D. D. D., ' 10; Varsity Basketball; Capt. Class Basketball Team, ' 12; Business Staff Adytum, ' 11; D Assoc. Like all other homely jjeople, Bob takes a good jiicture, so be not deceived. He has shone in athletics, but has been more ambitious along social lines. His career at the Sem., we are sorry to say, has been a series of misappre- hensions over which he had no control and in which he himself played a minor part. He never says anything stronger than By Gee, and being both sub- missive and devoted we recommend him for consideration to any of the fair sex. Stewart W. McClelland, B. S., k. 2., Franklin. Vigilance Com.; V. Pres., ' 09- ' 1 0, Pres., ' 1I- ' 12 of Chem. Soc. ; Boosters ' Club ; W. B. Com. ; Asst. Chem. Dept. Here is a field for psychological research. The bundle of contiieting emotions wrapped up in this six feet of protoplasm is astonishing. When he came to school he seemed no more than a mere boy. Now he is a man — and that ' s no lie either. Many men go thro school and have no earthly idea what they are going to do with themselves. ' ' Mae ' ' is not one of these. He decided two very important things while here. First, that he would preach. Second, that he would always be sure of at least one in the congre- gation. May you never displease your audience, Mac. Edith Anna Longbon, B. Ph. Philo. Baldwm U.; Glee Club, ' 09- ' 12; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, •n- ' 12; Pres. Stud. Govt., ' 1 1 - ' 1 2. Sh ! Sh ! Sh ! Here conies Prexy. She is leading a strenuous life this year, endeavoring to protect her lambs from the contaminating influence of the stronger sex, and to instil in them due regard for the decrees of Stewed Gov., ' ' which like the eternal axioms, cannot be gainsaid. Her sense of awful responsibility has graven the lines of care on her mournful brow. Truly, ' ' Honours are great burthens. ' '

Stafford Riddle Webb, B. S., B. Rh., Franklin, Sycamore Club. Cross Country Team, ' 09- ' I0- ' l 1 ; Track Team, ' I 0- ' 1 1 1 2 ; Capt. C. C. T., ' 1 1 ; Soph. Track Capt.; D Ass ' n; Adytum Board; Frank- lin Play, ' 09- ' 1 I ; Pres. Engineer Society. To live is a privilege we ought all to be proud of: to live in hope is a greater privilege. Miler Webb is one of Denison ' s young hopefuls. His life is full of hopes. And why should it not be? He is both young and fair, and the world lies before him. We all hope that it will not lie to him. John Alvin Thompson, B. S., 2. X. Quaker City H. S., ' 05; Football Team, ' 06; ' 09- ' 1 1, Taught school in Minn, two years; Engineering Society. Old War Horse has been with us of£ and on for the last decade and the hill will probably lose its balance when this 200-pounds of avoirdupois is removed. .John is a slippery article, at least all the ' ' book larnin ' ' runs off and isn ' t absorbed, and no other theory explains it. He is going to teach and heaven help the pupil if the rod is not spared. Dexter Junkins Tight, B. S., b. K., B. Rh., Franklin. Doane Academy, ' 08; Class Athletics; Cross Country Team, ' 10; Ch. . Junior Prom. Com.; W. B. Com.; Asst. Physics Dept., ' lO- ' l 1- ' 12. When it comes to telling you how a thing ought to be done, Dee. is right on the job, and the worst of it is that he is usually right. Physics is his speeialtj , and what he doesn ' t know about shocking machines isn ' t to be had in this vicinity. Well known as the charter member of the Motorcycle Club (Membership One,) Dee. can get rid of books faster than any man in college, and the old maids and school-teachers that have fallen for one of his highly valued volumes are numbered by the score. In ten years he will endow the University with a new library. Charles Blount Vance, B. S., Frankhn. Franklin Play, ' 08- ' 10; Treas. Franklin Sec. Semes. Junior Year, Class Basketball Team. Charlie is another of those fellows who are hard to place. Not that he lacks talent or sociability, by any means O, no ! He has both, only he lives in blissful ignorance of it. Charlie has his ambitions too, and you are often fooled if you judge them by the house they live in, unless by the inverse pro- portion rule. Blessings on you, little man. 26
