BEATRICE MARTHA READ. “1 have immotal longings in me.” A fiddler of the first water. Ex-meinljer of the or- chestra, and a German student of whom Miss Wood- ward may well be proud. She and Helen are the “ lon and short of it.” CARROL BENNETT RICHARDSON. ‘‘Such a pretty hoy, and dances so lovely,” Itchy is just the candy, he can say ‘‘darn” and “gosh” and make up stale bluft ' s. What his aim in life is we cannot just say, but we don’t want to be round when he is aiming. STUART CARY SARGENT. ‘‘ Beautiful and Jchildlike he was, but now look at him.” When Stuart was a freshman the girls glanced at him and said ‘‘how cute,” but now he is a senior they gather round his desk and say ‘‘Oh, dear!” He in- tends to go to M, I. T. (N. I. T.) BESSIE FRANCES SAWYER. ‘‘Sober, steadfast, and demure.” Here we find another West-ern emigrant, but unlike the rest she is very taciturn. In all her rides she was never known to try to cheat the conductor. 27

MARIA LOUISA PEELER. “Take her up tenderly, Lift her with care.” When we hear the ])atter of little feet in tlie corridor every niornin j after the last bell we know that Maria has arrived. Her broad grin readily tells us that she is from Westminster. KATHERINE JANE POWELL. “I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice.” Kate’s only drawback is her timid little voice, which, however, has won her much popularity in the class of ’07, especially with one member. Throughout the four years she has shone as a scholar. CHARLES EDWIN PRIEST. “The deed I intend is great, but what as j et I know not.” In Charlie we find a very promising candidate for Tech. Often has his ready wit driven away the mon- otony of the class room. He served as chairman of the first senior class party committee, and has done great work in various other committees. He also sprints well (for the lunch counter). Lambda Sigma. HERBERT TEMPLE PRATT. “ He would shake hands with the king upon his throne and think it a kindness to his majesty.” One of our class wits, and a firm believer in the Smith Somaniac doctrines. We wonder what the class would do without him. 26

RIJBIB ERNESTINE SCIIRA(;EE. “A reed sliaken by every passinj; wind.” As licr spectral figure comes floating down Main street we wonder that the “ Sisters three ” do not iti- itiatc lier to their order. Rnbie has had Jiianv love ahairs and still survives. lOHN CHARLES SMITH. ‘‘Tlie world did shake when I was born.” John Charles Smith, otherwise Pocahontas, is the larger one of these little Smiths; small in size but great in name. He has the fearlessness which his ancestor possessed, and we trust that he will some da be dis- tinguished. CHARLES WARREN SMITH. ‘‘Where did you come from, Baby dear? ( nt of everj’where into here.” Second Tom Thumb. Although small he is like an onion, great in strength. We expect one day to hear of him as a genius in the technical world. MARY JOSEPHINE SAIITH. ‘‘Not to know me ar ?ues yourself unknown ” Quiet, sedate Miss Smith came to us from the Day Street school four years ago, and has ever since been a silent but scholarly student. Good for Alay! 28
