We have obtained the follow- ing information from a secret source: The Germans have placed several of their spies in the three largest preparatory schools in the country. The names of any person showing any partialily to the Allies are immediately noted down and sent to the Kaiser. 'l'hese per- sons will be court-martialed as soon as Germany has won the war. We happen to know that Gerald B. Delicate is one of these spies. In addition to his lean-ness Horace Reed Elliott is in a per- petual state of sadness, and it's too bad for such a nice boy C? 'D to waste his life away in sorrow. If anyone has any remedies for such a malady, we beg and beseech him to tell us about them, so that we may change the atmosphere of gloom which permeates the halls through which he moves. We have an innuendo as to where he contracted this afiiic- tion, he spent the prime of his youth at e. t. h. s. For two years the main idea of the class of 1915 has been to make things more cheerful for Horace Reed, but as yet so litany duties of a more pressing Cand not nearly so de-pressingj a nature, have occupied its time, that it hasn't been able to get around to it. This is William Albert Flo- gaus, who is the joy of all the teachers in school. Blue Mon- day or not Blue Monday, cheer- fulness always awaits them in the beaming countenance of the above-mentioned victim of this discourse.

Three and one-half years were suflicient to graduate Willard Newhall Boyden from North Division High School: however, owing to lack of credits he de- cided to spend another year at good old F. A. before entering upon his college career. He went out for basketball, but on account of heart trouble Cwe don't know her, but we hope she's all rightj was unable to finish the season. If you wish to see this interesting specimen. only watch for a curly Haxen- haired youth-that'snufl. ll. Bustos-Michel knows everything about all the won- ders of the world, having been, as nearly as we can discover, in almost every part of the uni- verse. He can tell you about the gold fish in the New York Zoological Gardens, and about all manner of unpronouncable places, animals, insects, birds, etc., in Nlexico, besides COLIIIK- less other things. He is like- wise a hard worker, and a good student. Helen IW. Cady is a product of China, and a mighty sweet looking one at that. lf she were only from some other foreign country we might look upon her with suspicion, but as it is China-no, we can't do it. Helen is an ardent member of Pieriag and besides being very bright, possesses a large quantity of that scarce com- modity known as common sense. In the past year she has worked very success to the team, and we worthy of the mendation. hard to bring girl's debate consider her highest com- S. Carney de- serves to be called the Rupert of debate, for without his ora- torical ability the debate team of Evanston Academy could never have flourished as it did. You have only to ask the mem- bers of the Y. M. C. A. and they will confirm the above statement, together with com- plimentary remarks as to his porcupine-like yellow hair and austere aspect.

GO'1 I'I First, Second and Third Years at Libertyville. Fourth Year-Bluffers' Union. 28 Gordon Francis is an Aus- tin importation. On his first appearance he made quite a splash and has endeavored to keep up the good work. In the fall he went out for football. l love the ladies is his motto. He likes first year Latin so well that he has taken it four times. Jennette Fredericks has been in Ii. A. four years, but it is only during the past year that rumor has it that she has re- ceived a magnificent salary for taking the Illinae notices to Mr. Helm at Chapel time. Her most intimate friends said, however, that she performed this duty free of charge. Knowing jennette's kind na- ture and her hatred for all mean and small motives, we are inclined to believe the latter, especially as everyone in school regards her as of a most worldly character. Newman Furness is one of these quiet persons who is al- ways astonishing you with interesting C?J and instructive UD remarks. He can tell you more about Mexico in ten min- utes than you ever dreamed could happen in ten years. Not only about Mexico, either, but about lots of other things, Zoology included. He is a member of the Furness Clan that made Mr. Weld famous. By his heart or life line we dis- cern that if he did not get the vote for the least reliable, he should have. He has never lil-:ed to be known as the bro- ther of Dwightg he craves for individual distinction. We know absolutely nothing of Harry Edward Gotti's past or present history and we are sorry to confess that the war and militarism have destroyed the records of his future. How- ever, we should like to state that he is quite harmless unless aroused, when he becomes a menace to the peaceful and law-abiding population. It is when in these moods that he makes fearful and amazing on- slaughts upon the German language. Cln perusing this the reader is requested not to show any signs of partiality.
