IDA MAY MARRS, McN. •“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’’ Age 18. Weight, 118 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 4 in. Ida May talks like a Yankee, but it is quite an insult to her to call her such, and she is very proud of the fact that the Southland is her home. She gets into great arguments and says ex¬ actly what she thinks to all her teach¬ ers and especially to Mr. “Latin’’ Williams. Oft times her tongue gets her into trouble. Study fills up all her time and therefore she gets good marks. ELBERT FRANCIS LEWIS, Phi. “How pretty his blushing was and how he blushed again.’’ Age 16. Weight. 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Vice-President Class, ’14; President Phi. Society, ’14; Secretary Phi. Socie¬ ty, ’13; Censor Phi. Society, ’12; Base¬ ball ’13; Secretary and Treasurer Ath¬ letic Association, ’14; Marshal, ’13; Ed- itor-in-Chief Sage, ’14; Editor Reflector. ’14; Second Censor Phi. Society, ’14; Commencement Debater, ’14. If Elbert wouldn’t blush so easily and cut his keen brown eyes around so quickly the other way when a girl looks at him, he would be the most sought after young man in G. II. S. His one important duty is to ring the gong anil many appealing glances does he get to ring it a minute sooner on Geometry class, which he seldom does. The two studies he is especially fond (t) of are Geometry and Chemis¬ try, and he makes excellent marks on them. Piiie .‘JO

ESTHER KIRKPATRICK, lo. “A day in June could no fairer be.” Age 17. Weight, 115 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 3 in. Esther deserves more credit than any other girl in our class, because every morning, rain or shine, she rides in to school, three miles on horseback. She is a demure little creature, but full of fun and has one of the most lovable dispositions of any girl in the room. She asserts her rights when ii is necessary and especially when a window is raised near her. PAULINE DuBRUTZ JUSTICE, Io. “To know her is to love her. ” Age 16. Weight, 113 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 5 in. Vice-President Io. Society, ’13; Sec¬ retary lo. Society, U2, ? 13; Marshal, ”13; Editor Sage, ’14 ; Editor Reflec¬ tor, , 13, ’14; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ’14; Reader of Last Will and Testament of Class, , 14. Justice takes the prize when it comes to being the most attractive and pop¬ ular member of the class, and speak¬ ing of using eyes effectively! She can roll them up to the skies and look as if she is going to die on Geometry class, and then again she can be very demure and coy when a certain young “gent” across the room looks at her. Determ¬ ination is a part of her and if she wants to do a thing she is not going to stop until she does it. Taking her all for all she “is one of the girls” and has numerous friends. Page

FRANK ASHTON PRITCHETT, Di. “Wisdom, beauty, health, what more could a man desire?” Age 16. Weight, 110 lbs. He : ght, 5 ft, 3 in. Di. Society, Commencement Debater, ’14. Frank is a very necessary and valu¬ able addition to our class, especially as a subject of good natured ridicule. He is the smallest boy in the class physi- ealjdv, but mentally he is indeed great. A born orator is he and although hard work gets it, he is very entertaining with his oratorical line of talk. When Frank is thinking very hard he has rather a peculiar look on his face and often his c’assmates go into paroxi- vsms of mirth over it. But taking him all for all, he is bright in his books and gets fair marks, even if he is not so beautiful to behold. MATTIE ESTELLE PORTER, Io. “How poor are they that have not patience. ’ ’ Age 19. Weight, 105 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 2 in. Estelle is the most quiet girl in the class and ery seldom says anything but she has a very decided opinion of her own, and it takes “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” to make her change her ideas. She is of a very nervous temperament and some¬ times when she knows a thing she won’t recite on it because she is so easily embarrassed. Stubborness is her one word. I’llSe 1
