CARRIE HORACEK. She either studies Compensation Or talks with pretty-looking boys, With well-developed elocution And also a sweet voice. BERTHA ISAAC. This young lady's most striking gift is her voice, which, on occasion, she can raise to right the wrongs of her sex. We hope to see her, in the future, a Mrs. Daniel Webster. MARY JESSEL. Kind and sympathetic, Mary has a cheerful but rather serious disposition. Is she ever at ease among strangers? Does she tell her secrets to any one? Oh, no! She is too quiet and reserved. A good book is her favorite companion, therefore she does not indulge in many outdoor sports. KENNETH KASTOR. Kenneth is a decided blonde, with eyes of blue. He is an athlete, and in the track meets generally comes out first. He has shown signs of being a debater in the English class. Prophets would predict a great future for him. ESTHER KEPKE. As Winsome as she is wise, Esther gainslthe hearts of her fellow students. Her favorite color being red, she re- sponds to the proffered pleasures land studiesb with an eagerness that reminds one of the color. EDNA KOHL. A girl who excels in shorthand, pos- sesses a happy disposition and a very in- quiring mind, is liked by her associates, and yet who is no exception to the law of compensation, for she lacks the fac- ulty of being cross. RUTH KORABEK. A willing, intelligent girl of high am- bitions, who is always willing to do the right thing. She is care-free and merry, and a lover of books and songs. MILDRED KRAUS. Known to everybody by her winning smile and dancing eyes, she believes in having a good time when occasion arises. But Mildred is not too indulgent in pleas- ure, she keeps in touch with modern questions, and may become an ardent suf- fragette some day, she can already as- sert her ideas about politics. H. L. HELEN LEPOLE. A patient, determined, unassuming girl, who knows her own mind and tries to be a success. She is inclined to be quiet, her thoughts are deep, her mind is broad, and she expresses an opinion freely. She tries to do good to others, and is deserving of the same in return. W. W. GEORGE MCBRIDE. Appearances are deceiving. This is true in George's case. He is very quiet during recitations, but when he is out with the boys, well-he is far from quiet. George is a tall, light-haired boy, with polite ways, and he loves to go on one of Mr. Warfield's famous hikes with the boys. E. T. ANNA MCKEON. This tall, slender junior, with .dark hair and blue eyes, shows in her every act a marked grace. Her far-away smile often warns her friends that she is in one of her thought-moods, while her twinkling eyes denote ,brilliancy. She is a rapid thinker, and is always ready to give valued ideas on topics under discus- sion. M. S. HARRY MCMILLE N. Quiet? Yes, and bashful, too, yet ex- citement is always welcome to this shy lad of sixteen years. He has a sturdy ambition to be an efficient bookkeeper, yet will ever be watchful should something better offer itself. E. M. W.- CLAIRE MACKEY. Claire is a short, plump girl, with blue eyes and an abundance of light brown hair. Although quiet, she is fond of playing tricks in the Chemistry class. Her favorite saying is, I should worry. R. F.

GIZELLA GOODMAN. We have among us,a little girl named Gizella. Yes, I nearly forgot she is a Good-man. She is jolly and easily wins the happy smiles of her classmates. IRVING GRESSLE. Irving Gressle, tall and fair, EX-editor of an Annual affair, Bright in his studies, bright in his looks, Is never seen without his books. C. H. MYRTLE HAASE. Everywhere present is this dark-haired, pleasant-faced lass, with eyes that twin- kle and show the fun that is in her. Her chief thought is eating. If she continues to play the epicure, we may expect to find her, twenty years hence, the cham- pion heavy-weight of her class. E. T. JOSEPH HACHA. To tell his characteristics is to guess, and through fear of dissent, the task is given up. MARCELLA HILBERER. Small, but not unknown is she, And carries her head with dignity, Her coal-black hair and rosy cheeks May show that she is fond of sweets. W. E. GENEVA HINTON. Placid, dignified, quiet, and reserved, Geneva has all the elements of a lady. The difficulty of getting acquainted with her is due to reserve, and not to egotistic arrogance. Her contentment, her fondness for all delicate subjects, the careful de- liberation over all her actions, reveal her strong personality. With a memory of her face lingering in his mind, even the weakest person would refrain from doing wrong. M. T. JOHN HLINOVSKY. With the gait of a future business man, and lofty carriage of his head, he appears in the class-room a dignified stu- dent, eager to recite. This young man is devotedly interested in Bookkeeping, and makes a special practice of the subject in his leisure hours. He is also a very en- thusiastic spectator at Commerce games. RHODA FRIEDMAN. Rhoda Friedman is a most enthusiastic musician. Her sunny countenance shows her musical inclinations. She is known by her classmates as the girl who has her own ideas and who does not fear to express them. TILLIE FRIEDMAN. Light-haired, brown-eyed, gentle and fair, With a silvery voice as light as air. Very good-looking, bright and precise, And-well-just everything else that is nice. G. B. RUDY FOREIT. He does not pose as a saint, but does Work hard as a student. CLARENCE GIBSON. Without a murmur, with never a whine, He makes his life brim full of sunshine, His face is pleasant, his eyes are bright, In the world of thought, he'll attain great height., LOUIS GIRZ. He is a boy that seldom speaks unless spoken to, and is rather bashful, especial- ly when among girls. His smile and golden locks make one think of the Sunny South. One glance at his high and mighty forehead reveals his remark- able intelligence. HYMAN GOLDSTEIN. Hyman Goldstein is a clever, cheerful, and Witty young gentleman, but very shy. He reminds us of the Man with the Hoe, since he cannot stand without the assistance of a desk, but we overlook this because he is very lovable, anyway. PEARL GOODING. This dark-haired girl has striking gray eyes, which read your thoughts when you speak to her. At times, wrinkles in her forehead show her puzzled over what you are saying, yet eager to be convinced. With actions quick, and mind always alert, she does not especially dislike to do anything. Out-door sports are her de- light.

GEORGE MEAD. A boy who dotes on Math, and, when the teachers are out, likes to do the teach- ing. He enjoys tricks when played on the other fellow. Jolly, but a bit shy, he is a genuine good fellow. ISIDORE MENDELSON. Although he is unusually good in short- hand and typewriting, he likes outdoor sports, and participates in them when- ever he can. Judging from the way he Works in and out of school, he must have an ambition to become some well-known personage in the business world of to- morrow. C. K. CLARE MERCER. Modest, kind and shy is this 'buxom lass. Occasionally, she reveals a sudden flash of humor like the clear glow of a precious stone in a heavy setting. Books, rather than exercise, are her hobby, for obvious reasons. I'm afraid to, is her motto. C. M. ALBERT MEYER. Tall and strong, with eyes alert, his form erect, Chief Meyer stands upon the field-pitcher of the Team. He cul- tivates a strong liking for boys, and has a dangerous dislike for girls. He adores deep thought and study, and scorns a pursuer of bad habits. M. W. K. IREN E MEYER. This young lady is a quiet, reserved, but jolly girl. She is very studious, but is inclined to a lack of confidence in the class-room. JOSEPH MORITZ. Happy, thoughtful, jolly and ambitious, fitly describe Joseph. Spending money and having a good time, while with friends, is his delight. But, oh! when among strangers, he is very quiet. His spare time he devotes to mechanical work. HYMAN NOVASEL. At first sight, my subject might be taken for a musical prodigy or an anar- chist. He wears his hair long, his ears and mouth large. His face is triangular in shape, although we are not aware of his being proficient in mathematics. 101 AGNES O'MALLEY. Witty, humorous, and full of life, is Agnes. Her ready answer for all ques- tions in or out of class, has won her many friends and numerous E's on her report card. She seems to be held responsible for the doings of the entire Emerald Isle, even the uprising in Ulster. GUSSIE OPPER. Gussie Opper, a most interesting girl, is modest, mischievous and studious at onceg ready for a reply to every ques- tion raised in class, she still intersperses her answers with her favorite connective, and-a. ALTISSA OSTER. p Always neat in appearance, her dim- ples denote good-nature. She is affec- tionate, sympathetic, happy, jolly, and care-free. Typewriting is her favorite study. She likes to cook, but, oh! those dishes, how she hates to wash them! Basketball is her favorite recreation. ISABELLE OVIATT. Isabelle is a happy, smiling creature, with large brown eyes. She is always asking questions in class. Whenever she is not asking some questions she stares with her big eyes. Sometimes her queries break in upon the stillness so suddenly that we think a bomb has burst. VALERIAN PESICKA. My hero has two propensities, a love for athletics and fondness for chewing gum in class. His devotion to the latter occupation quiets his somewhat violent tendencies in the former direction, and makes him meek and docile to his teacher. CHARLES PLUMMER. Of firm-set, wiry build, Charles' physi- cal characteristics seem the embodiment of his mental nature. Pursuing Roose- velt's maxim, Play hard and work hard, he hopes to realize his ambition. He is intimate with none, yet chuck full of fun, he makes his classmates fight to refute his arguments.
