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

THE JUNIORS. u FANNY Loursiz BARBER. Portland, Ore. H Fancy, Fan. K Z-Thespis-B. B. Team Q35 . 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

INIABEL Louisn CLARK, Avon. N. Y. f'WVife.i' QJVI, Senator Q3l, Treas. Qlj, Libra- rian CD M 125, Cor. Seo. 45 M 35, V. Pres. QSH. He's all I've got-or want-is J im. He's jist so good and clever ! An' likes me, an' I like hi1n, 'An' will, I guess, forever. Awfully sorry to disappoint you, but Jim in this case is jest a pup-not two years old. Don't know as the quotation would apply to a human Jim-never heard Mabel mention one. Sheis a bashful child, and reticent: religious to a fault, even cutting Chester , to go to ohuroh. Lives on a strict diet-they wonder Why sl1e's so thin. Naturally timid, but can talk when thoroughly roused, and recently spoke so longand loudly on the servant question that Bessie oou1dn't get a word in edgewise for the factory girl. Her 'L Budding hopes of last year have been frustra- ted by 'i gym? ANNA MAY CLEVELAND, Elmira, N. Y. Rube, Little Ann. Q5 M, Critic Q M Q3j, Sec. QD, Lit. Ed. IRIS. What stature is she of? Just as high as my heartfi One of our shortest girls. Even her gown can- not give her dignity, nor does her original Way of wearing her cap bring her up to average height. Always charming but never more so than when she appeared as Little Bo Peep. Char- ter member of Kappa Iota Sigma Sigma-holds all the offices and was the one who made the fa- mous motion that the dues be increased. Very fond of gym.-went twice last semester. Bari- tone in our Silent Quartettef' Must be aw- fully olever for she can explain all the dihicult passages in the IRIS. You see she has made a careful study of human nature, foreigners a specialty. i' Zhat's all ri ! 24
