NELLIE MARION CARTER--Tlie fame of Nellie, as the finest alto in the class, is widespread. Then too, this last year her fingers have been fairly flown over the keys in the rendition of our most diflicult songs. To the eyes of her fellow students, as well as to the underclassmen, she has proved herself a wonder both in vocal torture and as Miss MoNulty's assistant. Nell has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of all athletic sports, both winter and summer, and was to be relied upon by the fellows and girls of the respective teams. In the Bunch of Roses she very successfully figured as Hilda, the only, only, in the eyes .of Pink and Buz. Nellie is to show her kind and charitable disposition by entering upon some work as an assistant in an orphan is home.

It is in these subjects that she has been an especial star, bringing credit to the class, while in her other studies, likewise, she has always stood well. Of late she has been subject to frequent attacks of the giggles, usually ac- counted for by the merry presence of Sue. In recognition of her musi- cal ability, Christine is to have a solo at graduation. As her future course is not yet decided upon, we can only wish her the best of success in whatever she un- dertakes. WILLIAM CHESTER EMIGH, K fb A, D, -Bill has always been a jolly fellow, and While seeming to take life easily of good hard work.

He spoke at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking Junior year and received an appointment Senior year. He was elected captain of the track team upon Follett's resigna- tion this spring.
