His specialty I5. chemmry. Being a scientific man, he can discourse at length upon the fourth dimension and the sxxth sense. WILBUR JAMES BARNES. The secret pltaxure of a generous act I: the great mind's great bnbe.-Dnvm:x. Barnes is one of those many good-natured and broad-minded persons who do so much toward keeping the world in pace and order. It cannot be doubted that his opinions are as firm as any, but he never so forgets himself as to express them to the h'arm of others. He is a staunch supporter of the great truth that, if nothing good an be said of a man, it is always best to say nothing at all. CHARLES RICHARD BEALLE.

CLASS OF 1911 POEM BY H. S. DULIN. Four years ago, a class of worth, We thought we knew all things on earth eOur attitude must have caused mirth, in upper classesy We doubted if we could learn aught ; XVhat we knewhnot was scarcely taught; Our wisdom was complete, we thought- Until 111. The Freshmen died. To them adieu. As Sophs we were a mighty crew To steer ourselves and teacher, too, And all the world. 'Tis strange that this, our wondrous name, Did not go forth to all in fame; The teachers must have been to blame- Our Sophomore year. There were some things we did not know; This gave our pride a mighty blow ; XVe felt that it could not be 50- Our Junior year. T o it, good-bye. No longer Shirk; As Seniors, my! how we did work! XVe almost died with themes and Burke- Or wished we could. The years have hown on swiftest wing, And now we are compelled to sing: Behold, we know not anything! But, don't you tell. And now our High School course is done; We've laurels lost, and laurels won; Have had our share of joy and fun- And happy times. To each one in our class tonight We wish a future fair and bright, May each e'er prove a shining light- Of dear old Tech. Rig: thnly-onr

ANDREW GUSTAVE BISSET. Jtalou: in honor.-SuAuern2. 1909-10-Agora. Sergeant Co. D. 1910-11-Captain Co. L, Agora. Debat- ing Team, MAROON AND GRAY Board, Hand and Mind Board. One of thc valiant ohicer's peculiarities is his blush. It might almost be called an accom- plishment, except that he can't help it. He slipped into school in his first year so quietly that we hardly knew he was there. How did it happen that this modest boy, in his fourth year, bemme one of our captains and a win- ner in debates? The answer is simple: his unswerving steadfastness of purpose in ac- complishing what he sets out to do, when he has once decided that his course is the right one GERTRUDE VERONICA BROWNE. Veni, vidi, vidr-CAESAR. l909-10-Christmas Play, Spring Play, Undergraduates Reply. 1910-11-Literary Editor-in-Chicf of Hand and Mind, of MAROON AND GRAY Board, Prophet. This quiet-looking maiden has a most sur- prising lot of energy stored up in her. When she is not using it for mischief, she captures all of the honors that are lying around. This energy, however, does not seem to be a neces- sary factor in putting all the ES on her re- port-they just come. If the saying were. The bright die young, instead of The good die young, we would be worried for her; but, as it is, we expect she will have long life and happinas. LESLIE CAMERON. Wu, madut, crimon-lipptd flamen-vas. 1908-09-Sophomore Play. low-lo-Christmas Play, Spring Play, Social Editor of Hand and Mind. 1910-11-Associate Editor Mnoou AND Gnu. We have never discovered, in our long and 'ternpestuous English course, that the Scotch were blessed with imagination, and the rea- son is, methinlu, that this fair flower of Scotia'a bonny hath has absorbed it all. This same imagination seems to take up a good art of the space supposedly allotted to her ram, for, though gentle as a chhyr, she has as many phases. Page Tmn 11-11: I t
