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

WILLIAM GLEN HOYT ABBOTT. Calm light: of philoxaphy.-Anouox. Abbott hasn't a nickname, because his friends wouldn't stand for another name, when he already has 50 manx perfectlyjood ones. 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. A moment o'er his face A table! of unulterable thought: Was traced-and then it faded a: it tame. -Bnos. Bealle sits beck in his chair, feels his whis- kers, and medldates. Once, indeed, he really had a thought; but, sad to relate. he didn't tell anyone at the time just what it was. and so we haye unfortunately lost all record of it.

To be sure, he is as jolly as the next onclwhen not on duty; but as soon as he dons his golden strap: and his saber of authority, he assumes a com- manding countenance which plagnly. revels that he is going to brook no familiarity from anyone. He firmly believes In the necessity of frequent battalion drill;, and cspgctallypf reviews. No doubt he thinks that In havmg the latter there is a splendid opportunity to show off his West Point set-up to good ad- vantage. DELLA LAVlNlA CLARK. Still water: run deep.-SHAxEsmIE. Della is one of that large t0 number of people who have worked both hard and con- sistently during the entire four years. She now holds her own with the shining lights of the class, and we are all glad to see her there. Perhaps another reason why we are all so fond of Della, is because she is always ready to loan money, and never charges inter- est. MAURICE ROGER COLBERT. Honest men esteem and value nothing :0 mud!

Let us hope he will recover. Pug: fu-mb-juur
