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

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

lllnmria GREGG GOODHART, Lewistown, Pa. i'Matty.', K 2, B. B. Team QU, Senator Q2l. Treas. Ath. Ass'n QQJ, Treas. QSQ, V. Pres. Y. W. C. A. C3j. Let the world slide, let the world go, A fig for care and a fig for woe. E Our pride, our pearl, our fair haired baby girl. One of our greatest trials-so lively that she makes us feel lazy. but were not. Recently made her Hdebut into sassietyx at Annapolis, and has since been in a. perfect whirl of gaiety that culminated in the Y. WV. C. A. convention at Gloversville. Takes great pleasure leaping from crag to crag of her Pennsylvania mountains, but might be persuaded to leave them to follow Brig- ham Young. Just loves to send her friends fudge. Poetically inclined. ELVA BESSIE GRAY, , . E Elmira, N. Y. Mike,i' Be-ss. , S15 M, B. Team QD. 'f Whence came thy blushes, rose so fair, So fragrant, sweet and debonair ? One of our many good looking girls-small and cute-tries to look dignified. Recently posed as Queen of Hearts and -made quite a hit. Much addicted to singing and manages to grind out a soprano good enough to match Genie's alto. Practically lives in her gym. suit. As a member of Kappa Iota Sigma Sigma pays her dues regu- larly and quite fuliills the promise given by her noble endurance of the initiation. Mike is short for microscopic, which brings her very short indeed. Has been known to laugh. 25
