THE SENIORS BESSIE TAYLOR WOOD. ith a heart as big as all out-doors and a smile of a Perfect Day. If she doesn’t make the Washington, it's not because she hasn't got alities, personality, sunny disposition ana My! how we will miss the dear old days. A kid w like the dawn best teacher in the essential qu a loving nature, won't we, Bess? HELEN GRACE ROSS. rosy-cheeked girl who is laughing? Oh, that’s Helen! She is noted for her giggling and good na- ture. Just now she is at Normal School studying to be a teacher, and the hardest thing for nes to acquire is a stern a dignified manner. Here’s wishing you bunches whatever it may be! That pretty, face and of luck for the future, GUY MORTON NEELY. Neely—Is a swell friend to have—As his father keeps—A drug store—He works in the Eastern bank, too—So you can see—That there’s no r eason—Why Neely shouldn't—have more neckties—And fancy socks— Than he has—He is noted for the—Intensive agriculture— On his cranium—He is an authority—In----- As he never pursued the subject—And is therefore unpre- judiceda—! thank—you- Guy Morton DOROTHEA ALLEN COOK. Haven't you seen that little girl with the large brown laughing eyes? That's our Dot! She is the one who al- ways knows her lessons, who is always in for a good time, and who always gets the best out of everything. Dot is now at Normal, doing her bit, and, well, she is doing it! She expects to teach (notice the expects, but——). Best of luck and happiness in all your undertakings, little Brown Eyes! ELIZABETH ELY. Not satisfied with one high-school diploma from Tech, she must get another from Eastern after staying here but one year. We all love her, but we didn’t get well ac- quainted, for which disaster we are all profoundly sorry. No matter if it is History or Latin, she is willing to help you out. We feel sure that you will succeed, “Bee,” what- ever you take up and wherever you go.

THE SENIORS ELIZABETH EMMONS. Here's to dear old Elizabeth, Miss Boyd’s pride and joy! I wonder how she likes the library at Normal School. But “Liz” seems to like fiddling and jitney riding above all. Good luck, “Liz,” in everything that you undertake. ROSE MARIE SMITH. Rose Marie! And that frenchy, fowery name suits her to a “T .” She’s so dainty and timid and sweet! Behind those violet eyes of hers is a keen, quick little brain that can do some work! She is going to be a business woman, but we think a fairy ought to change her into a moon- beam or a violet. JOHN MAHLON SELBY. There’s a guy at Eastern—With pink cheeks—And a rough chin—And a head so big—He can't find a hat—To fit him—He wants to be an actor—Not the cheap kind. Shakespeare—From his Liberty Loan speech—Which won —You can tell—He'd make a good Portia—He’s a second Lieutenant—And a second is better than a first Lieutenant —Or a captain—Because he’s one—He’s got a rough voice —And a girl—With brown hair—Who likes pink cheeks and rough chins—And swelled heads and second lieuten- ants—But she’s all right. MABEL VAN DYKE. “Among them, but I stood not of them; in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts,” “So it used to was, but ‘taint no more! Now she’s as much one of us as anyone could be. 1'o be sure she still has her “Jone thought,” but that’s because she’s got more brains than most of us, with which to think. Anyway, she’s an A No. 1 friend to have and an all-around good sport. ALICE MAURINE TRIMBLE. Peggy is our dear little girl from: New Mexico. She took the school by storm when she came here. Peggy has great promise of future fame in art, poetry and fiction, and if not in these lines, certainly in the art of teaching Span- ish. Here’s luck to you, Peggy!

THE SENIORS HELEN ELIZABETH RICHARDS. Helen! Tne Sedate Senior with the laughing eyes, which are the envy of all the girls. She doesn’t pay much at- tention to the members of the stronger sex, but her eyes will lead, and are leading a lot of them a dance. All Eastern wishes H. E, R, success. CECILIA KENDIG JUMP. Cerdy is about the best natured kid in the whole class. She’s got the cutest little nose, and the sunniest disposi- tion, and an “I should worry” way about her. Even Burke didn’t bother Cerdy. She’s the girl of me choice and someone else’s, too. MAUDE JULIET BAYLES. Maude Is a tall dark maiden with poetic eyes, poetic imagination, and a lot of poetic talent. She has a volce like silver brooklets and a smile like God’s own sunshine. That's Maude. be WILLIAM JOSEPH DONNELLY, JR. One of several] boys of ‘18 whom Uncle Sam has chosen for service, but he will not get a lick at the Kaiser until he finishes his course at Annapolis. Whether in the depths of chemistry or in command of a battleship, he will gain success through his perseverance and jolly laugh. Class of 18 is proud of Bo. ANNA ADELE SHELDON. Anna is the joyous, lovable, jolly, helpful girl, who makes life durable in room 13. She is a good student and also excellent in behavior, with the exception of her little escapade when Barnum Bailey came to town. If asked to characterize Anna, we would say she’s the girl who always sees the bright side and is overflowing with wit. PEARL BESSIE MYER. Pearl said the other day that no one at Eastern ever had anything on her. We haven’t puzzled out what she meant. But we all know Pearl! Whenever we see her we think of a “Russian Honeymoon.” When Pearl “gets started” up in Room 12, she’s got it all over any movie star we ever saw, and when Pearl goes, we'll miss her ravings all right, all right.
