Ethel B. Burgess Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate. Ethel hails from Holt and for that rea- son it has been very hard for us to keep our hold on her. When she joined us in the freshman year, we never thought we could keep her with us four years, now that we have, we surely have earned our boxes of chocolates from the one to whom we have been so cruel by depriving him of this fair damsel. Ethel is always in for fun and we know just how to take her, for she is always the same. She con- vinced us that she is a royal entertainer after a six-mile slcighride to her home. May she live to feed the calves on bottles way down on the Eirm. .1 Vice Pres. S. C. A. '08 Sec.-Treas. Erosophian '07 Junior Public Nelson H. Huntley Hc is not married but very near it. Dutch is a thoroughbred country lad, joining us before we reached the high school to help us iight our battles. llis awkward motions are sure victory. Nel- son's voice always caps the climax, wheth- er on the athletic fields, in school or else- where. Once he tried to leave us, even after he won a bride, but the attraction was too great for him and he came plow- ing back again to school. We have tried to urge Dutch to join the lligh School Chorus or something whereby his voice would obtain training, so he wouldn't scare the neighbor's chickens when he laughs, but he absolutely refuses.

Y Ernest L. Cook Come trip lt as ye go on the light fantastic toe. Helen T. Philleo If music he the food of love, play on. Helen! who is it who responds to that name? Ah, a maiden fair with rosy cheeks and bounteous hair. She is above par in all her studies, namely: when above the principal. She believes that we can only live one life and therefore should enjoy our school days fwere you ever near or in the library?J. Helen is one of the originals for we have beheld her beam- ing countenance ever since she was mam- ma's baby. Helen has certainly shown us great hospitality throughout our school lite. She averages from six to seven feet longitude and from six to seven inches in latitude. May the sun and moon make her shadow short and tht. Oratorical Contest '09 Lookic, the wee Knabe of our class is by no means the least. Although he has been with us only two years his voice has been heard in every important crisis, echo- ing from the cellar to the garret. His C natural voice changes to B Hat occa- sionally, while expounding some great idea, which often does occur in that mighty brain. Cookie somehow obtained the Duct that other classes were our supe- rior and so left us for a time but he soon returned with a sure conviction that we had no equal. It is easy enough to point out Cookic's path, but it takes another Cook to make him tread therein. Sec. and Treas. Ath. Ass'n '07-'08 Pres.

Walter J. Dolbee His listless length at noontide would he stretch. Lillian E. Coe But here I am to speak what l do know. Our class was again made brighter when Lillian, our wee one, came within our arms last year. She is little, hut, oh my! you ought to hear her talk when she is once started, which is very sel- domf?J. Love affairs are her hatred, even the very tiniest. Lillian is so decided in her thoughts and ways that she quite often changes them. During her last school year she has become an infatuated lover of geometry, devoting most of her time to its needs. Whatever may come, Whatever may gog We sincerely hope Her shadow may never less grow. Three cheers for Father Dolbee, our superior in height, witticism and big feet. Walter looks old and acts old but he is as young and spry as a spring chicken. He was never seen to have a girl only on one occasion,then he had two ftoj. Walter believes in looking on the funny side of life and making the funny side stare at you. He is one of the survivors of German and Latin and at odd hours he amuses us by jumbling them together and talking Dago . We prophesy that he will never be cruel to his wife or dog. Vice Pres. L. D.
