ANNIE LAURA MARSHALL. An open-hearted maiden, true and pure. At least once a week, a little girl with a big hair ribbon may be seen with Miss Mosher. This great elocutionist is known to her classmates as Annie. She especially delights in German, so much so that she diligently pursues that delightful language at Tech She seems to have a very good time across the way, and we often hear remarks upon the happenings there. Our little girl is the keeper of the class calendar and distinguished herself as an anti-suffragette in the composition, which she read for the Anthony Medal. Though somewhat quiet in her Ways she has won many friends during her four years at 'fEnglish. MILTON HARRIS PRICE. I-Ie above the rest, In shape and gesture proudly eminent, Stood like a tower. Milton is one of the few boys in our class who have found astronomy an interesting subject. I'Ie delights especially in going to the Ladd Observatory where he may be brought nearer to-the stars. Milton is an important member of the third period English class and often succeeds in answering some of Miss Peirce's most diflicult questions. The rest of us would really like to know how he does it, so that we might follow his example. I-Ie seems very fond of walking on one foot, and, as an aid to this difficult feat, often carries a cane. Milton is a great admirer of the fair sex, if we may judge by appearances. I-Ie evidently found the society of our class very satisfying to his temperament and, after much earnest endeavor, became a member of our little band. MILLICENT REED. X-Vith dimples all around her face, She makes a heaven of any place. Talk about dimples, just look at Millicent's. This young lady is one of our quiet girls, but for all that she has gained many friends by her Winsome manners. She chose to favor the commercial course with her presence and has especially excelled in typewriting. Millicent has a vein of music in her and is another member of the Mandolin Club. She and Gladys are great friends and may be seen together at almost any time during school hours. Millicent has joined that company of girls who favor puffs as a method of coiffure, and the fashion suits her very nicely. Z5

MARGARET There is none like her, none. MARCO VINCENZO MQNTAGANO. Song forbids victorious deeds to die. Marco, or Count Gut, is an important member of the Boys' Debating Society. He will offer any information desired on the subjects of 'fstatisticsn or Austria Marco must have had a dreadful fright in his infancy for his hair is still standing on end. He makes up for any deficiencies in the brilliant third period English class by his ever-ready knowledge of various subjects and his original opinions. The morning hymns in Room 1 have been a source of joy to many of our girls because of Marco's splendid singing. CATHERINE MQGXNYNN. ' ' Here is a very quiet little lassie who may be .known as Anna's shadow. Her taste for classical learning did not appear until 1 her third year, when she decid-ed to acquire a little knowledge ' of Latin. The astonishing news came to us one morning that Margaret had participated in a wedding the night before, but we soon learned that she was only a bridesmaid. She has chosen to pursue her course of learning and we wish her suc- CCSS. ETHEL BARNEY MANCIB.

She is a tall young lady with stately dignity. The fourth year Latin class has had the full benefit of her bright translations of 0vid's interesting Metamorphoses. She and Marie are bosom friends, and may be often seen promenad- ing around Room 1, arm in arm. We certainly could not get along without Ethel, and are very glad she consented to grace our class with her presence. 24

GERTRUDE ALMA RICHARDS. Her voice was ever soft Gentle and low, an excellent thing in womanff The dignity of a Senior girl is truly found in Gertrude, for she is never seen doing anything which might cause displeasure. Her sedate and retiring manner make her little known to most of the class, but among her intimate friends she is cherished. Gertrude excels in Algebra, and is adept at solving problems. She considers her XVaterloo to be in the drawing room, but we choose to think differently. Gertrude expects to go to Normal School when she leaves English, and we believe she will make a successful teacher because of her loving disposition. She is a quiet girl, considerate, and always on the look-out to help some one in distress. NEVVTON ANGELL SHAXVCROSS. From his cradle he was a scholar and a good one. This scholarly young gentleman is one of Miss Mosher's shining lights. He discoursed quite fluently one Friday on the subject, The Duties of a Senior. His words of wisdom fell on unfertile ground, however, and we even fear he did not follow his own advice. The 4B division in Room 1 seems to have had some attraction for him, and his conversations with one of its members have been somewhat numerous. Newton is one of those who consider the study of the stars an interesting subject, favoring the fifth period astronomy class with his presence. He is a-great admirer of bright colors if we may judge by his hosiery and ties which are sometimes quite strik- ing. lVe certainly expect great things of him in-the future. JOHN ROBERT SNNEET. I 'WVhen he speaks , The air, a charter'd libertine, is still. Here is the worthy Editor-in-Chief of this Brown Owl. He has certainly done his best to make this book a success, and has tried to urge the rest of the Board to follow his example. Al- though Robert has not been with us these last few months, he has still kept up a lively interest in the doings at English, for he is president of the Boys' Debating Society. Bob is one of our best debaters and has revealed his literary abilities by win- ning the Anthony Medal. Robert is well versed in politics and parliamentary law. The latter quality is shown by the fact that he frequently gives his version of the way in which our class meetings should be conducted. He is noted for his good-nature, even if things 0'o wronv' in Board meetings, and he is quite as as as G ' often heard to say, That's all right.
