FLORENTE BOWER. LENA BOOTH. 11 would certainly be quite n shock to some of the students If Lena should full in n recitation. Not that she Is a grind hut she always seems to know her lessons, and she never seems to he In a scrape. We are sure tlmI when Lena goes to col- lege she will be quite a star and bring honor to the Class of '10. One of the practically unknown studes in the class, hut in it and wide awake, nevertheless. If Flor- ence did not appear before chapel in her elocution stunts many people would not know of her existence In the class. She has a tine seat near the back of chapel and lets the teachers know of her presence in the way girls usually do. that Is, by chattering. MABEL BOYLEN. Mabel has the reputation of being a very studious young lady. She never seems especially anxious to display her knowledge, but when she Is called on. It's a great surprise to everyone if she doesn't make a good recitation. But It's our opinion, Mabel, that your studies aren't the only things in which you excel; there are other things besides, es- pecially music. IRENE BROK'll. A girl that exactly looks her name ! Tall, slender, light hair and blue eyes doesn't that say Irene? But. see here, 'twill never do for light hair and blue eyes to slam books around or come out of French and say naughty words! If such be the case then black hair must be your fate! We'll trust the other, though.

 SOLOMON HJOliBKK. ••SMI,” I Is n confirmed woman - liater. He always walks out of his way down the front stairs to Vergil in Hoorn 1-1 to avoid meeting the girls on the ( llnton Street staircase, lie has the reputation of being a shark in all his classes and. there- fore. possesses an awful stand-in with (lie fa ult.v. lie is always '‘pre- pared in ass and is a fine man to go to when you want these two or three lines translated. Some day you will find Sol holding down a chair on the faculty (figuratively speaking) of some I'niversity — decidedly not co-ed.

ROBERT BROWN. “BOJJliIB” “Listen. now, and you'll hear something worth while thus saith our Vergil preceptress when young Robert arises. And we do hear some- thing alright - Standing on their knees. etc., methodically droned forth as if being ground out. (Rumor reports you do grind. Bob.) But there are results! Behold, the mar- vel of learning! One thing about you we don't like, though—you flirt too much for a real wizard. Your manly swing: your top tuft of hair they smash fair hearts! Stick to your Vergil, Bob. that’s the safest course! MARGARET CARTER. “MARC’’ l»id you see that sprazzy looking girl airily tripping across the back of chapel to talk to an ardent Soph- omore. Well, that’s Marg. Carter, who has the reputation of being able to rattle off yards of nonsense and jokes. She is always the pink of perfection. In fact, it is almost impossible to go out in the hall with- out finding her there, tucking in a stray lock, or straightening her tie. 'Ve don't object to that,—though,— for to have neat, sporty girls like Margaret around surely adds greatly to the beauty of our school. HARRY BUCKBEE. This elongated young man resides just near enough the girls to make all the fellows green with envy. At any moment one may find gen- erously helping any one of the num- erous young ladies about him with their studies and most earnestly conversing with them thereon. He is an adept at evading the teacher's eye in class when it's his turn to be called on anti therefore gets along O. K. in school. We predict that he'll end up a Woman Suffragist. MARY CLIFFORD. You know, you're sort of like a little fly you skip around stop here and stop there and then you're off again. You don't make any com- motion in moving about : many don't even see you. When you alighted in the Freshman class at No. from the north cud of (his burg, we hardly knew you’d come. We ain't help hut realize you're one of us now!
