MABEL CARGIAN COX. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. In Mabel this class has a cheerful and pretty maiden. She may always be seen with a smile and merry word for everyone. She chose the commercial course and has proved herself a very efficient scholar in typewriting. Wfe are told that Mabel is also a very good judge of weights. However, with all this business learning, Mabel is somewhat a society lady and has joined the band of those who have discarded hair ribbons and wear puffs. GLADYS DIEFENDORF. C music! sphere-descended maid, Friend of pleasure, wisdomls aid. New York first heard Gladys' decided murmur. She is the only member of our class who has been on a honeymoon, and in Syracuse, too! She is very musical, for she plays both the banjo and the mandolin. Her debates in civics class are em- phasized by her lofty manners and the toss of her head. Gladys is always seen near Millicent, for the two are very good friends. Gladys' last name is so difficult to pronounce that we hope she will change it, even if she has to '5Steel one. ANNA IOSEPI-UNE FLYNN. ln framing an artist, art hath thus decreed To make some good but others to exceed. Anna is an artist of no mean ability, and on account of this has won the favor of Mr. Randall. She has helped to adorn this book with her drawings and is also a member of this illus- trious board. Anna spends her time out of school very prolita- bly by helloeing around the city. She is a fine dancer and is one of the all round jolly girls of our class. .-Xnna's calmness in great confusion and her smile keep up the general class spirits. Anna took off her hair ribbon once and it appeared on Ethel's skirt and Maries waist. Nevertheless she is slill un- willing to discard it entirely. Studies never bother Anna, l9

CYRIL RAYNER BROADHEAD. lWhate'er he did was done with so much ease, In him alone, 'twas natural to please. Here he is--the Right XNO1-thy, Extra Honorable Cy,' President of this famous class. In this office he has no super- ior, even Mr. Hoyt commented on his keeping us under con- trol in the class meetings. I-Ie has held the office for two years, which shows that he is a great favorite with the Class. If Cyril is -confused, especially in Geometry, he is easily discour- aged, but his good qualities place this fault far in the back- ground. He read for the. Anthony Medal and is a good worker in the Boys' Debating Society. I-Ie has many admirers among the fair sex all unknown to himself. On the whole, Cyril is an invaluable member of -our class. I-Ie was chosen Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Student on account of his literary abilities. VVe shall expect great things of him in the y future. ELLEN LOUISE -BROTI-IERTON. VVisdom and Goodness are twin-borng one heart Must hold both sisters, never seen apart. Louise's giggle is bigger than she is, and it is always a sign of her presence. She is very fond of the theatre, frequenting it almost weekly. She recently appeared with her hair done up in puffs and we think it gives her a very fashionable air. It is rumored that her thoughts stray down southw to Annapolis. Louise is a member of the picture committee and delights in giving us information about the samples. She spends an hour in Tech across the road every day, where she helps along the German ,songsters. Furthermore, she is Annie's satellite. Louise is one of Miss Peirce's shining stars in English, and often helps along the recitations wonderfully by her original answers to some of the questions. SAMUEL JOSEPH BURKE. ' Hllflien God makes a lovely thing, the fairest and completest, He made it little, donyt you know, for little things are sweetest. Yes, this is Sammy, and there is no other fellow just like him. He worked very hard to join this bright class, and now is fully initiated, for he figures on this hard-working board, and is chairman of the picture committee, in which capacity he has shown his business ability. He also helps to fill the air with music on Wfednesdays with his Stradivarius. Sammy is also a prominent member of the Boys' Debating Society. He is Miss Peiree's model pupil and is considered by her a perfect gentle- man. He recently made his debut in long trousers and may be known anywhere by his slight stature, and the cute little curl on his forehead. Sammy is the youngest business man in the city and we know he will always be successful for he knows how to win his way. B.-Model-Small imitation of the real thing.

NNILFRED JOSEPH GIROUARD. I am a busy man. f lfVilfred, or Frenchy, is our handy man and can be seen with his business-like air anywhere in the school, from garret to cellarfl Wfilfred is Managing Editor of this Brown Owl, and pushes the work in his own way, which is quite decided. He certainly can talk, this fact being -clearly shown in recitations, class meetings, and in debates. The re-organization of the Boys' Debating Society this year, is due to his efforts, as he has done much to get the younger boys interested in it. -VVilfred is important, with an extraordinary importance, and his great desire to hurry all business matters has made some of the class a little prejudiced, but he is a favorite all the same. VVhat little praise this book may be entitled to receive, is due to a consid- erable extentto Wilf1'ed's earnest work. l'ErenchyH and Bohn are great friends, and are very fond of going to the Sce1zz'c. IENNIE ooLDBERo. A simple maiden in her flower ls worth a hundred coat-of-arms. Jennie is another of those who have shown a decided prefer- ence for the company which our class aiords, and so joined our number. She is a quiet, dark-haired maiden, and likes to fol- low the path which she has marked out for herself, undisturbed by the frivolous actions of the rest of the crowd, She has been known to help Miss Peirce's English pupils out of the Slough of Despair more than once and we sincerely thank her for her aid. EMELIA ADELLE HEM PEL. Sweet promptings unto kindestt deeds Wfere in her very look. There is at least one member of our class who has the pleas- ure of seeing a good many 9's on her report each term as a reward for her studious efforts. Emelia's greatest fear during her four years' stay at English has been that sometime she would not pass in some study, but the time has not yet come. She excels in writing compositions and for this reason was chosen Class Historian. As a member of the Brown Owl Board, her duties have been earnestly fulfilled. In addition to this laborious position she has served for a year as our Class Secre- tary. Although she appears to be a very quiet and dignified young lady, she frequently has been found guilty of slight slips of the tongue, and her friends have been somewhat surprised at her speeches, especially at Board meetings. Emelia hasnot yet decided whether she will pursue her quest of learning at College or Normal School, but we feel sure that she will make a success of whatever she undertakes.
