Edith Elizabeth Brown EDITH ELIZABETH BROWN. For four long years Edith has wended her way from the Four Corners to gain her education at Old Drury. We cannot always judge her by those innocent looking eyes, for she is always found smiling, especially after one of Mr. Thomas' calldovvns. Thus she has gained the reputation of Gigg1ing Edith . We expected to find Edith a dignified Senior this year but we were sadly disappointed, for this winter she suddenly became very frivolous, attending the vaudeville and dances every week. But perhaps that was due to the influence of Carrie, her constant companion. Edith is the youngest member of the class and has stood high in her studies during the entire course. We wish her the greatest success at the Normal, which she expects to attend next year. Jennie Chain JENNIE CHAIN. Modest little Jennie comes in each morning with a smile and a pleasant word for all. She is one of the trio that has taken the Business Course and is Miss Goodwin's Star stenographer and, as for typewriting--well, the rest of the business pupils had better look out. She is every one's friend and no one's enemy. Those that know her are anxious to become better acquainted with her. Jennie may go to the Boston Chandler School but even though she does not, she is sure of success in whatever she undertakes. 18

. June Bowen JUNE BOWEN. June, a member of the Internnisson class and the most absurd girl in the lab. fully appreciates 1906. She has come Way down from Briggsville for four years just to give us her cheery Good morning everybody , and incidentally to study German and lend her aid to that renowned class. Of course coming to school gives June a Hue excuse for riding on his oar. She finds a great attraction up in the Freshmen Rooms but the attraction is lost on the rest of us. The Senior girls are put to shame when June is singing. If the cars run down Church St. next fall, June Will go to Normal, there to compete with Edith for the reputation of a perpetual giggler. William Boyd WILLIAM BOYD, K dv A, HD . Unlike most of the members of 1906, Will was prominent the first three years of his course and seems to have sunk into oblivion this last year under the protecting shadow of Slattery. Who will ever forget what a hard time Will had trying to decide what Parliamentary law to abide by at the time we chose our class pins? Will won his D by good, steady work in football and also came out for the track team last year. He has aways been a great help to the girls by coaching the basketball team. Will is quite a musician and has added much to the social side of school life by his ability to play the 'oello. 17

. Agnes Cheever AGNES CHEEVER. Those of us who have been so privileged as to be admitted tc Agnes' home have seen hanging over the blue and white flag, the motto: Slow and steady wins the race. Those who were in that dreadfulsophomore Latin class can testify that Agnes has lived up to it not only in Latin but in everything else. Agnes knows where the biggest violets grow and will willingly pilot you there, if you are courageous enough to ask her. She joined the debating society but was so afraid that she couldn't talk faster than the boys that she didn't dare to debate . but since she can scale up and down on a piano she has played for us two or three times at debates and rhetoricals. Agnes has not yet decided whether she will travel for a pure rheumatism-cure firm or go to Normal but it would seein that she has a penchant for the latter as she has taken the necessary course. ' Cassie Cooney CASSIE COON EY. When we first ascended the tortuous flight of stairs leading to the attic and as green freshmen sized each other up, we all whispered that the most noticeable thing about Cassie Cooney was her great long pig-tails and her dimples. It would seem that they had attracted other people too, for have you noticed how many balls Cassie has been going to and how often she has been canoeing on Windsor Lake? fCassie's greatest cross has been her undigniiied height and to overcome this she played basketball for two years, nevertheless we will overlook these small failings and trust that she will be wiser as she gets olderj. She is remarkable for her good nature, and every morning has gladdened the hearts of her companions by singing all the way to school. p 19
