He knit his brows, And held his breath. VVay back in l907,Ja little tot, wearing short trousers and Vandyke collar, carrying a large lunch basket like every other freshman, immigrated to English, where he deposited his bur- dens and stayed to keep us company. He is fortunately en- dowed with red cheeks, the color of 'which is procured without the aid of rouge. Although Arnot is a quiet little chap, he is well liked by his classmates. His complexion has caused some comment in the B. O. Board meetings, and he would be sur- prised if he knew with whom he had been compared. He is still very shy and bashful, but he has greatly improved in this respect since he entered English VVe do not yet know his intentions for the future. ISABELL MARY HUGHES. She is a maid of artless grace Gentle of form and fair of face. Isabell is one of lNebster's products and is considered among the jolly girls in our class. She is one of our pretty red- cheeked girls and is loved by all her classmates. Isabell was at one time very fond of attending track meets, especially those in which Classical was represented. Her winsome smile attracts everybody, and we do not wonder that she has hosts of friends. Isabell likes to spend the summer days at Rumford, and we wonder if that is the source of her beauty, for we, too, would like to try it. i , - HELEN RAINSEY I-I UTCHEON. Sweetly and stately, and with all grace Of womanhoodf' Helen is one of our quiet, studious young ladies, and, al- though she is good in all her lessons, her chief accomplishment is phonography. She is very fond of astronomy, enjoying the recitations on this subject in the fifth period with many of her classmates. Her good recitations and quiet voice are pleasing features of the third period English class. 21

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.

INEZ ESTELLE JORDAN. A little nonsense now and then ' Is relished by the wisest men. This is the little girl with a bubbling laugh and always ready for fun. Though seemingly happy and care-free, Inez is very desirous of good lessons and high marks. She is one of our most popular young ladies and may often be seen with one of the most recent additions to our class, the wearer of the red necktie. Inez is a member of the Brown Owl Board, and peace of its meetings has often been disturbed by the gales she is wont to create. In the beginning of her Senior year, she blossomed out as a basket-ball player, and has been a very enthusiastic supporter of the game. It would be a sorrowful day for the class if Inez were to leave us for then we would be minus Inez. - MARIE SARAH LEACI-I. Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast, To soften -rocks, or bend the knotted oak. , The Muses have endowed this young lady with the gift of song, as may be seen by the fact that she is our Class Hymnist. -iiaiie is exceedingly fond of dancing, and is a frequent visitor at Rhodes' Her points of the compass have been dehned as five: -north point, south point, east point, west point, Riverpoint. Marie is a member of the Brown Owl Board and her dignity is often shocked at its meetings by the actions of the children Marie, after much deliberation, decided to cast her lot with our class. Wfe appreciate her decision, for otherwise we would lack a class hymn. HERBERT ENN ART LQRD. Show me a happier man than youf' - Butsy was greatly honored at the beginning of the fourth year by being chosen as vice-president of the class, but he has not had a chance to distinguish himself in that capacity. Not- withstanding the dignity of his position, he has formed a curi- ous liking for a little plant known as Ivy An education at Wfebster Avenue Grammar School was not sufficient for this scholarly UQ youth, so he has diligently pursued his quest for knowledge with us at English Herbert has done excellent work as a member of the hockey and baseball teams.
