Margaret Adler hold the work poised on a pencil's point We have with us this evening, dear friends, an artist — in good sooth a cartoonist of the first water. Many are the clever sketches with which she has amused her com- panions-in-crime. In fact, Margaret's main lines are drawing and flirting with both eyes and pencil. But who can blame her swains? For Margaret wins our nomina- tion for the beauty contest at an easy walk, and this vote is supported by a gentleman whose profession renders him a good judge — the class photographer.

Don't be surprised if you hear later on that she has turned pro. She also can turn very neat comers while driving. No need for insurance for she is not what is commonly called a speed demon.

This year he has been more careful in his selection of studies and now he no longer places his life in jeopardy. In the Dramatic Club his l- reshman year, he more than amused us by his pranks. When not at school, Will is busy at his father's store or reading Wild West stories.

Lucy Katherine Dunn Lucy has managed to combine many talents behind that quiet twinkle, and has performed the arduous duties of a class secretary without complaint. Her particular field of endeavor is debating, in which she has scored much suc- cess by enmeshing her opponents in arguments so involved that Socrates himself could not penetrate their inmost reaches. Vet wordy strife is far from being the measure of her resources, for Lucy is a tower of strength in nearly all school organizations, and has proved her executive capacity by the skill with which she daily coerces her brother into carrying home the mutual subjects for even- ing research.
