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. C. '09 Junior Oration Joke Editor of the Anchora

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.

Lennagiene 0 Bordner mueh. Orla I'I. Gill:-tt Hark, his hands the 'fiddle' explore. Orla has only been with us two years but he has won his way among ns by his stuclious ambition ancl willingness to help others, as we-ll as to make fun. Gillett is ehief cook at home. Ile can make anything from butter-seoteh to cream pulls ancl never looks at the Larlies' Home journal either. The teachers think he is an angel but They elon't know Orli like we clo. Orla will probably take the Normal work next year as he has always been attraeterl by that ele- ment. just at present though he keeps company with his tirlelle. P - . L. D. C.
