WILLIAM JOSEPH F()(;ARTV. Li ht lay the earth on Billyhs head His chicken heart’s so tender, Blit build a castle on his head His skull will prop it under. “Duke” has got away with a lot of useless knowl- edge, which in the boorish is “bull. ”He juggles sodas as a pastime.

Good things come in small packages. “Shrimii” is happy-go-lucky, and is also known as Merry Xmas’ “little friend.” Good kick when you meet the “one” girl. ALFRED LEONHARDT ERAAS Live and take comfort. “Fraasie” never over-exerts himself. We wonder what he would do without his pockets. He has taken such an interest in athletics that he has been able’ to win his letter in base ball. His grin is what makes him famous. JOHN JOSEPH FRANCIS. Much study is a worrier of flesh. John hasn’t been so enthusiastic about studying as might have been, but he’s certainly there on the diamond. He was one ol our best milers last year. 29

HHRTHA FRANK Of manner gentle and affection mild. Hertha is a part-time Commercial student. Her chief occupation is meditating. She never voices her opinions so we don’t know on which side of the fence she stands. NELSON EDWARD GARDINER Although around his bases He strides so v ' ery fast He n’er can make his eight o’clock ' Till twenty minutes past. “Gus” doesn’t believe in starting a minute too soon in the morning, but he’s a hustler, nevertheless He won his letter in football and is one of our best track men. He ' s noted especially for his brilliancy in “Trig.” EDITH FLORENCE GATES Mistress of herself though China fall. Only once did Edith lose her poise and that was when she beheld Josephine, the Skeleton. We cannot blame her for that, “Edie.” ISABELLE MARGARET GEOEERIAN Pains of lov ' e be sweeter far Than all the other pleasures are. “Izzie” is one of our brides. If she takes her course through life just as she has through school, we are sure that wrinkles will never appear. She is fond of ? so that the parlor is occupied every Sunday night.
