ETHEL (’OH. ‘‘Why. I thought I could do It—” that is what Ethel says when she gets up to translate Vergil. She Is always disappointing, for she starts out brilliantly, but never seems to get through. Never mind, Ethel, you are a Senior, and that proves to us. that, even though you can’t always do your Vergil, you succeed in lots of other things. ATI I EU IN H (’(INNELLY. This demure young Miss is seldom heard from within tlie precincts of our illustrious abode: still, in her (juiet way, she is enjoying herself and making herself a joy to her teachers. She manages quite cap- ably (o avoid all specimens of the opposite sex except when they insist upon walking to school with her— and she gets around that difficulty very often when site is whizzed up to school in her big car. .Modesty and good nature are her uppermost characteristics. I It A COLE. “cm.! k ET1IHL COVENTRY. Why isn't that medal in this pic- ture' Where do you keep it—hang- ing around your neck? Oh! Take it off—you'll get round shouldered! Just the same we wish’t we'd been smart enough to write on Hob Ful- ton and get one. We always sort o’ had faith in you before, anyway, even though you aren't very sociable. In that back seat you keep mighty— mighty quiet. Aha ! Here we have a nice, quiet, studious young man. He looks out at you so meekly behind his glasses that you can't help liking him. You'd never think that he possesses a bass voice—but he does. Ira gets a little fun out of life all right even if he is quiet. Just watch him.

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!

Oh, lie's certainly an awful Sport! Keep It up. Hobby, and some day you'll be a big man if you don’t fade away before that Joyful time comes. Alpha Zi ta. To look at Wayne, sitting back In Ills si at. with bis eyes half open, and a vacant expression on bis face, one would think lie was lazy.

A sort of watchful guardian over this all too spirited class. Our story teller! Why. we sit enthralled at the vivid descriptions in her narra- tive-like minutes. There’s almost a plot to them ! Probably this is the one cause of our over-crowded meet- ings. Far in the future we see Arleen reading fairy-tales to a crowd of eager kindergarten children about her. smiling at them through those deep blue eyes she has. Lucky chil- dren !
