Florence lil. Taylor For aught I know, she knows as much as l. The first day that we went to work as freshmen we noticed that way down in front was a new seholarg and who could she be? Well, we soon found out when she went to classes day after day with E lessons and has tailed to lose the bad habit during these last tour years. Flor- ence has won her high place in our minds by her constant smiling Rtce and willing- ness to tutor. The latter probably has had the greater effect on us who have been blessed with weaker minds. At class parties Florence has always been loyal. She keeps things lively and is a regular johnny on the spot and Clit there Eli . It' she would only listen we would 'ise her not to turn down so many ot' the opposite sex or she may an old maid before she is thirty. Sec. and Treas, '06-'07 Pres.

Maybe you think he does not look bright but just wait until he is playing ball and all you can see is the footprints on the sands of time. He is a special favorite of the teachers, rarely breaking a rulet?J and thereby getting short vacations. Toad is one of the many who keep us from getting hungry before dinner time. We pray that Toad may live to eat the hen that scratches o'er his grave. Vice Pres. Erosophian '09 Junior Oration Football Capt. '09 Baseball Capt. 'l0 Athletic Editor uf Anchora

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.

Clare T. Smith Enticed by the dewy feathered sleep.' Smit is awfully slow but awfully sure. Upon one or two occasions he has been actually seen to make a quick move. to his surprise as well as others. Smit says he just loves German but he has ven gone so far as to try to throw it into the joke box. lVhen Clare is real tickled he sounds as though he had the heaves but don't be alarmed, he has the spells very seldom. We are very sorry that we can't entirely claim Smit to ourselves as he has decided to take a five years' course, so we have to leave him to the class of 1911. Class Artist Football Capt.
