(R atvd A (pj JtQJVZJL ROBERT JACKSON PEARCE. Dl. “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men. Age 17; Weight 128; Height 5 ft. 7 in. “Bob” has been rightly elected “the j oi¬ liest boy” of the class. He can even make Mr. Rogers laugh. Very meek and mild looking is he but there’s no trouble or mis¬ chief to which “Bob” is not a party. It is this kind of boy who usually has the sense and so it is in this case. Bob is as bright as bright can be and when he doesn’t hide this quality succeeds in making very high marks. Monitor Di.

You never see her unless she is either reading a long epistle or very ener¬ getically writing one. She is very fond of Guilford and saunters out on every occa¬ sion. Myrtle is truly blessed with good temper and good times. She enjoys life to the fullest and drinks her cup “running over.” Press Reporter McN.

ELIZABETH ESTHER CLEGG, 10. “Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” Age 18; Weight 110; Height 5 FT. 7 in. Elizabeth is a lovely girl with rosy cheeks, soft brown hair, and lustrous eyes. It is rather hard to know her because she is very particular to whom she talks. She does not often recite but when she does, knows just what she’s talking about and gets good grades accordingly. She was elected the most dignified girl of the Senior Class. ALICE MAUDE JOHNSTON, IO. “Her pencil drew whate’er her soul de¬ signed, And of the happy draught surpassed the image in her mind.” Age 19; Weight 105; Height 5 ft. 5 in. What would we have done without Alice Maude? You may answer if you can. She made the “Sage” with her sketches and has helped to make the Reflector” in like man¬ ner. With untiring zeal and true devotion to duty she has labored for her class and for her school. Nor does all this extra work check her progress in her studies. A teacher is very much surprised when he catches Alice Maude napping.

EUGENIA ELIZA ATKISSON, 10. Her air, her manners, all zvho saw ad¬ mired .” Age 18; Weight 130; Height 5 ft. 10 in. Eugenia is a “friend” to all and she cer¬ tainly has won a host of friends for her¬ self. She is the kind of girl who always has a kind word for others and who is al¬ ways willing to help someone else. What more could be wanted by anyone than to hold such a place as she holds in the hearts of her schoolmates and teachers? Critic Ionian Society ’15; Secretary Ionian Society 17; Athletic Association ’15, ’16, ’17. WILLARD G. RAINEY, Dl. Relaxed in frame, but firm of tongue” Age 19; Weight 130; Height 5 ft. 11 in. “Solomon” is one of the boys who has helped to make the Senior Class what it is. Though he is not athletic he makes up for it in loyalty and in debating. Debat¬ ing is truly his strong forte. For the third time this year he again held his place as Triangular Debater. He is an orator, not afraid to say what he thinks, but sure to think what he says. It is not necessary for Willard to get extraordinary marks when in this more effective way he shows his broad and strong mind. Willard likes the ladies and has won from them the title of “heart-smasher.” Class Orator ’17; Triangular Debater ’ ’17; First Censor Di. Society ’16. 15, ’16,
