ROBERT HENRY HARVIE, E A X-Robert strolled in with the rest of the Freshmen and has not made a much more rapid motion since. His friends tell us that he's a regular vaudeville performance when you get him started, but we pause before that awful effort. To us who have seen him only at school, he seems truly a sad man and a serious,-much given to introspection. The opinion seems to be quite general that he is love-sick, for he seems not to have slept much o' nights. He is said tu have once made the baseball team. He will take the rest cure after graduation. HARRY EUGENE HAYDEN, 2 AX-Plug, he doesn't like to be called Plug. and while rejoicing in tovvsling other people's hair doesn't like it if the deed returns upon the doer, is a person Whose nerves are very much in evidence. He likes to argify and can chew the rag for hours Without clinching an element of proof. Harry 's chief joy in life is to sit down in his senior chair and then have the chair take wings, as those senior room chairs do. His strong point is history and he will doubtless someday be a prof.,' Harry is a violinist of note, and during the next four years expects to Hddle his way through Williams.

FRANKLIN PETER FOLLETT, UD. -Peter hiked in with the Freeman bunch and resolved to stick to '05 or die trying. He made the football team Freshman year and has played every season since, being a strong man at tackle. Pete has won points in the W. C. I. A. A. meet and has twice been elected track captain. He was president of the class Junior year,and managed the hop so that the class was no coin outf' Having an inclination towards slang, his conversation would make that Chicago professor's heart glad. He has no use for 'fde swell bunch, and seems to get along very well without them. After graduation he expects to take up electrical engineering. RUTH AUGUSTA HAMBLEN - To all outward appearances a dignified Sen' ior who is worthy ofthe title fprobably due to the fact that she once presided at class 1neeting.j Such she is in the eyes of the awe-stricken freshies, but to those who know her-. Of course we would not injure her reputation, but appearances are sometimes deceptive, and do you re- member that Ruth. too, was once a foX?,' So pray don't be misled by her angelic expression, for she is really one of thejolliest girls in the class, frequently springing her jollies on her unsuspecting victims. Ruth has always been one of our brightest stars, being chosen for her scholarship to speak at graduation, and also elected class historian. Her work on the Ac- ademe as exchange editor and contributor to the Dru has been especially valuable, while the part she took in the farces was proof of her ability in other lines. Next year she will display her brilliancy at Wellesley.

JOHN REMINGTON HOBBIE, 2 A X-John Remington rushed into our ranks for a short time and then on account of his health disappeared to regions unknown. However, he one day again loomed up on our hori- zon and has been with us ever since. He spoke at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking contest junior year and received honorable mention Senior year. John is a math. shark, chemistry shark, and sprouted his fins in physics. He arrives at school early enough to see certain freshmen enter, and loves fresh air to the extent of keeping the vvindovvs open fthough the entreaties of the class freeze in their throats. He expects to study naval architeo- l ture at M. I. T., but it is believed that there are other attractions down Boston way. SAMUEL MANSFIELD JONES, 2 A X-Sammie seems alvvays to have been with us. Way back in the green vista of our freshmanhood he was one of us and one vvit.h us. We didn't see much of him then, but he was around. He began, We believe, with studying the dead language. but now something lively,--like Wilhelm Tell, in the original, -is his chief delight. Sam believes in getting all the good in life and helping others to do the same. Work never troubled Sam. and Whois got their Dutch, with variations, still rings in our ears. He was chosen class president Senior year to the duties of which oflice he has sacrificed much of his time. He had a leading part in the farces, which he inter- preted in a pleasing manner. Next year he will enjoy himself at M. I. T.
