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. By order of the Presidentj

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.

Gray happens to possess a perfectly good motor- cycle, and can thus easily de- part from any momentarily uninteresting friends, for al- though the machine is a two- seated arrangement, the second seat is usually occupied by his brother. The Gray Brothers are known all over the campus. Some wide-spread reputation. We should judge that the midnight oil in Charles S. l'lardy's lamp was frequently burned quite low: owing to his excellency in studies. On the other hand, we ask you, how can a gentleman who has time to carry a cane have time for such trivial matters as those which pertain to school? 'Tis a deep and mysterious question which we leave to our intellect- ual classmates to answer. Worry? Cares? Nervous- ness? Too much study? Come right across! Helen Phebe Harkness has the sure cure for any of the above maladies, and it Certainly does hit the spot. And the silver linings of her clouds are not German Silver, either. 'l'hey're the real, gen- uine article, guaranteed to get brighter with wear. Never did any person have a higher standard of right and wrong than has lsabella Hark- ness, nor did anyone ever stand up harder for that standard. Those who have her for a friend count themselves favored for Harley has never been known to go back on a person. She has the best executive ability and the most common sense of anyone we have the honor of knowing, and as a good scout she takes the cake.
