WILLIAM FRANK SAMMHTT. “Made in Germany.” “Hill” seems to have taken a great fancy to C. T., for he has worked steadily in the office for a whole year. This certainly shows great perseverance and pluck on Hill s part. Noted as the letter carrier of the office squad. LOUISE WILLMOTT SAWYER. “Why did my parents send me to the schools, That I with knowledge might enrich my mind?” Louise is another of our quiet friends. Doubtless she believes that “silence is golden,” and that is why we so seldom hear from her. Chief occupation — Liv- ing up to her belief. WALTER FRANKLIN STILES, JR. “On their own merits modest men are dumb.” Walter keeps his opinions pretty much to himself. He likes chemistry so much that he spends a whole afternoon on one experiment. He scarcely ever creates a disturbance in class. Chief amusements— German and baseball. WALLIS HALL STURTEVANT. “His pencil drew whate’er his soul designed. And oft the happy draught surpassed the image in his mind.” Wallis is the most renowned artist in the class. He usually succeeds in getting to school just before the last bell rings every day. We hope some day to see his pictures in Judge. Chief occupations — Drawing and studying — a little. 28

BLLEN FKANCEvS SWEENEY. “Whom not even critics criticise.” A well-developed sense of humor is in Ellen’s pos- session. She will succeed as a stenographer if she per- severes. Noted for her giggle. MARTHA ALBERTA TENNEY. “Her eyes ' dark charm ' t were vain to tell.” Mattie is one of our future great stenographers. She sings, draws, and has various other accomplish- ments. She can boast of being the tallest girl in the class. Noted for the twinkle in her eve. MARY GERTRUDE TRACY. “Hail to thee, blithe spirit!” Gertrude enjoys spending her study hours with Seth. She is small, but can debate as well as her larger colleagues. Noted for her good-nature. WALTER THOMSON URQUHART. “Hail, foreign wonder! Whom certain these rough shades did never breed.” Walter came over from the “land of auld Ayr’’ Sophomore year, and immediately sprang into favor with the girls. He has had three girls in three years, which is going pretty well. We fear the word work is missing from his vocabulary. Chief amusement — The girls. 29
