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!

Mildred is a hum-digger and a heart-smasher and a good sport. She's a devout disciple of the Great God, Bluff, but she can’t fool us all, all the time. Anyway, she’s got more scalps at Hastern than any Injun squaw ever had. And that is some rep! JULIAN ALSTON FISHER. Fisher—is captain of Co.

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.

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.
