Noted for his piano playing at football prac- tices. BEATRICE MAE FINN. Fat, jolly, and fair. Mae has such an innocent look that you would never guess what a mischievous piece she is.

What care I when I can lie and rest Kill time, and take life at its very best. “Bert” does just about enough to cover the law.

HELEN ANGELA ENRIGHT. An angel in her wa s She ne’er did harm to anyone. Although Helen is a steady, sensible girl, she does not see anything worth while in the male element of our class; but perhaps sometime in the future she will capture one of the little ones in her school. Noted for her plugging. PHILIP GOODNOW FAIRBANKS. Thou art as long and lank and lean as is the ribbed sea- sand. “Phil” never seemed to be willing to hurt himself with anything. He seems to be rather bashful during school — but we won’t tell all we know about trips to the movies. Noted for his ability to get things his own way. EILEEN ELIZABETH FARRELL.

Chief occupation, trying to prove valuable to a dentist. Noted for her dimples. F. F. F. JENNY FINE. Few words suffice. Jenny seldom speaks, but a few words are worth more than those of our silver-tongued orators (apolo- gies to Holden and Rogal). They say Jenny is right there with the goods at the Lincoln hall dances. Noted for her soft voice. 23

Noted for her happy-go-lucky air. MERRILL ALEXANDER GREENE. I’ve often wushcd that 1 had clear For life, six hundred pounds a year. “Greenie” seems to have a rather difficult time holding down a job this year. We expect to see him foreman of an establishment of his own some day, for that will be the only thing which would assure him steady and satisfactory employment. MARGUERITE THEODORA GRIFFIN. The blushing beauiics of a modest maid. Marguerite has inspired us with her poems and has also served on the joke department of the Red and Gray.
