ALBERT ERICKSON, B.A. Goshen, Indiana English, History A voice from a previous century sounds to us, What I must do is all that con- cerns me, not what the people thir1kl , and we see the statement relived in this youth of the present. Although his reserve hinders our really knowing him, we cannot fail to see these outstanding traits. That get-there determination, coupled with a will not easily bent, are characteristics well fitting his chosen profession. Plans for next year: Uncertain. Men's discussion contest. MARY ESCH, B.A. C-oshen, Indiana Latin, English just to watch her walk or speak inspires one with the vigor which is in her posses- sion. Mary is clever and delightfully original. It is she who can best introduce the speaker of the evening, add the necessary touches to the after-dinner program, or direct the archery meet. With poise ever at her com- mand, Mary has served her Alma Mater capably for four years, Plans for next year: Teaching in high iCl'lOOI. Y.W.C.A. Cab.

S6 l l IO I'S Page twenty-six HENRY ERICKSON, B.A. Goshen, Indiana Chemistry, Mathematics Entertained for hours by ever changing. yet law-abiding nature, with an open mind, the impartial scientist stands ready to apply the bridle at a moment's notice. Chemicals, odors. colors, appear and disappear before his eyes, and a haze of smoke and gas pene- trates the air which was originally meant for breathing. Science furnishes one of the most interesting yet strenuous lives, com- pletely absorbing the interest of the one who knows the secrets of its mystery, and beckoning to those who would discover them. Ask Henryl Plans for next year: Work as chemist. Fr. Club ll, Ill. OSWIN GERBER, B.A. Dalton, Ohio Bible, History Oswin believes in giving as well as tak- ing. Besides his school work, he is occupied with a legion of tasks about the campus. ldleness is no friend of his, but he prac- tices cheerfulness and jollity continually. Willing to do his part? Always.

AGNES CRIPE, B.A. Goshen, Indiana Mathematics, History What would we do without our Wash- ingtons and our Lincolns? What would we do without our rivers and forests? What would we do without the students who at- tend our schools with a sincerity and a true purpose which causes them to flourish? The values hidden in attitudes desirous of receiving every benefit from the work un- dertaken are worthy of acknowledgement. The diligent student is appreciated, and with him rests the responsibility of the con- tinuity of our colleges. Plans for next year: Teaching high school. Vesperian, Treas. III, Women's Declama- tion II. RUTH EBERSOLE, B.S. in Ed. Elkhart, Indiana English, History Music, art, and literature provide mate- rials for building a most interesting life. Ruth is talented in all, and finds time and pleasure in contributing where she is able. A keen sense of beauty and color is given expression in her many drawings and paint- ings. What dull moments there may be in her life are wiped away by what some call the gift of gab . Others would prefer to say Ioquacity . Plans for next year: Teaching in either elementary or high school.

Ready response and accurate per- formance are combined to form a worth- while career. Plans for next year: Post-graduate work in Bible. Y,M.C.A. Cab. IV, C.W.B. Ill, Pres.

And when we hear, we cannot but admire the skill behind that voice which is able so readily to change our mood. We appreciate the ability to a greater degree when it is within our own group, Yet, lustine's talent does not lie alone with her music, as the basketball forward who has been guarded by her well knows. Friendliness and refinement define her char- acter. Ambition pushes her goal always high- er, and although the task of reaching it may be difficult, conscious effort must suc- ceed.

MARY GROVE, B.S. in Ed. Garden City, Missouri English, History There is a way to master lifa's hard- ships, cares, worries and burdens. Unselfish motives and a generous spirit will reflect themselves in the deeds done every day.

Her friends will tell you that she is full of the life and vigor that accompanies the optimism that is hers. Plans for next year: Teaching. C.W.B. IV, Summer School, Avon, Re- cord Staff IV, A Cappella Chorus IV, Ladies' Chorus, IV. THELMA A. HOSTETLER, B.A, C-oshen, Indiana Social Sciences, English To be busy is a virtue. Work develops both mind and character. To use the mo- ments, each one, before they have escaped us forever makes our lives richer and more full. The satisfaction one feels in knowing that he has utilized each hour to the best advantage is indeed great. When not oc- cupied 'with secretarial tasks, Thelma is studiously applying her time to her books. Plans for next year: Office work. Summer School Ill, Home Ec. Club IV, Audubon Soc.

ELDA HOSTETLER, B.S. in Ed. Harper, Kansas Home Economics, English It surprises us just a little that one so small possesses such a variety of qualities. It is yet more surprising to find with what great ability those qualities are caused to function, and with what results. In spite of club work, committee, chorus, and prac- tice teaching, Elda always has time to have a bit of fun, to stop for a moment's chat. or to give suggestions to someone who needs help.

Myrtle is fond of the cold Canadian winter and prefers the cold weather in the states as well. Calm and gentle on all occasions, she is never obtrusive or out of place. One does not realize the real strength behind this per- sonality until having worked with her, Myrtle will not refuse to do her part on the program or committee, or in any worth- while endeavor.
