Wliere there is much strength, there ain't apt to be much gumptionf' I am the Junior from Oregon l You should hear her say this with a great deal of fond em- phasis on the k'Junior,i' but such pride on the Oregon ! Do11't know how skilfully she can lasso a maddened steer nor tame a bucking bronco, but we do know she is as serious and devoted a student as the rest of us, and can settle any argu- ment in class by the assertion, 'G I know. for I've tried it. Besides having a fair knowledge of many of the subjects offered in the College cur- riculum, she speaks all the Indian dialects-for she can tell us the U. of Oregon yell. If urged, will tell about West Point, and show a pair of epaulettes she has. HELEN BARTHOLOMEW, Elmira, N. Y. Mag, Noisy. Q M, Biol., B. B. Team Q1-31, Treas. 45 M Q3j, Bus. Mgr. IRIS. Helen has a single man, The unit of the social world, His study 'early she began Thatpshe might 'know him. A mild. tractable child, very quiet-with abso- lutely no mind of her own. Conscientious-goes in for basket ball for the sake of her class. Speaks French like a native. Has been asked to give daily reading that the class may profit by her pronunciation. Sorry to say she's not always truthful, so, although she assures us with appro- priate gestures, that He didn't, we are inclined to think he did. The Pan to her would be far preferable to St. Louis. i'Je dansais -et je jiirtafis, je supposef' Refuses, absolutely, to give advice. Charter member of Kappa Iota Sigma Sigma. I . 22

H I am small and of no reputation? Genies a dear, but calls herself a lamb. A fair representative of the many class tal- ents. Has two great accomplishments-iirst, music. She's a prima donna, but as yet has starred only on the ice. Second, poetry. Apply to her for her exam. week spasm. Likes to recite poetry, too, but isn't allowed to in Latin class. A natural born joker-originator of the pun on Junior Lit.- When We get through Browning we'll be done to a crisp. Ap- ply at headquarters for her riddle on Junior Lit. Has been unable to keep the faculty in- formed on the swell topics of the day. 21

SYLVIA CI-IATFIELD BATES, Schenectady, N. Y. Bats, Sylviahf' K E, Thespis, Lit. Ed. IRIS, V. Pres. Il. 'OBJ Sibyl Board, Prop. Mgr. Thespis. 'Twill wish you well-the looking glass, And look you in the face to-night. Passing fair, stately and tall- I hate adumpy woman -with cute curls. innocent blue eyes and a shy, retiring manner. Some say her mid- dle name is conceit. Reared in ignorance up to the time she reached Elmira-then learned how to pronounce her own name. A Wonder at writ- ing short stories, but wishes they could find some one else to be the 'R butt of the Sibyl. Can blush when specially requested, but was recently out- done in a match for the displayal of this particu- lar evidence of innocence. FLORENCE ISABELLA BLADES, Schenectady, N. Y. Mine Philotesf' Q M, Biol., Pres. Biol QSJ, Lit. Ed. IRIS, Rec. Sec. Q5 M Gil, Sec. Biol. Q3j There's just ae thing I cannae bear, An' tha.t's my conscience. A short, lively little girl, never still at minute, and never happy except when making a. noise. Strange to say of one so frivolous, she's a shark at mathematics and stands at the head of an immense class in Theory of Equations. Name pronounced Blzides by those who know. Chief chzuacteristic-her determination to say her say in spite of interruption, and to stick to her say in spite of 9.1'g'LII116llIJS and persuasions. 23
