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. A motto something like Mary's By friendly deed is friendship won , betrays the secret of a happy and interesting school life. 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.

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.

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. Complain- ing? Seldom. Unreasonable and over-bearing? Never. Here is a friend. Plans for next year: Uncertain C.W.B. l, ll, Ill, IV, Bible Circle Ill, IV, Peace Soc. ll, Hist. Soc.

HARRIET LAPP, B.A. Dhamtari, C.P., India Bible, Biological Sciences There are some whose characters are so sincere and noble that they would be praised were they not shielded by that modesty which permits them to remain unsung. From Harriet, you will receive comfort when dis- couraged, cheer when ill, and friendliness at all times. As a leader, she is capable and conscientious. To work on the foreign fields is her goal.

I, Il, Lit. B.B. I, Il. HAROLD MILLER, B.A. Springs, Pennsylvania Mathematics, Physical Science It was once considered a merit to speak only when spoken to. In the loquacious present, the merit remains unchanged, but also unrecognized. At times, one is con- sidered unsociable merely because he re- frains from expressing himself. I-Iarold is the possessor of a keen mind and uses it ably in his work upon the campus, both manual and intellectual. Industry is the key- word to success. Plans for next year. Teaching. C.W.B.

Controlled actions are at once distinguished and pleasing. Erma's are just that, but she takes care never to become moody. jolly in play and diligent in work characterizes this vivacious little school teacher from the Dakota prairies. Her jolli- ness, thoughtfulness. and sympathy combine to make her your friend. Plans for next year: Teaching in high school. C.W.B. Il, IV, Summer School, Audubon Soc. ll, IV, Avon. IOLA MILLER, B.A., R.N. Shipshewana, Indiana Bible, Biological Science To be able to choose a noble profession is an admirable quality. To capably conduct oneself in his chosen field is yet more to be admired. When a fine Christian char- acter, deep convictions, and a friendly will- ingness accompany every deed performed. one cannot hesitate to respect the dynamic which gives the results no limitation. With quiet manners and gentle speech, lola makes known her ability as a nurse. Plans for next year: Nursing service. C.W.B. Ill, IV, Bible Circle, Peace Soc. IV, Summer School, Cer.
