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!

Is naturally backward in the company of ladxes. and, qs a rule, it is hard to get him arnonglthe girls. The only fault which our friend IS to be blamed for Is his sad habit of makmg puns. Let us hope he will recover. Pug: fu-mb-juur

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.

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.

Well. here's our chief fun dispenser. A happy spirit, whom four years of high school have failed to quench. It is just possible that the efforts of our Faculty have added a few more ounces to her gray matter, but. on the outside, at least, she still appears to be the same sweet. unaffected lass whose acquaint- ance we made in our first year.

Don't you remember, girls, her Stick up for your rights, girls; stick up for your rights? There is no need for us to say stuck up for yours, Edna for that is a fore- gone conclusion. We hope, however, you have not forgotten us, and will come back to Erin. BENJAMIN CRUICKSHANKS. A man who knew more and snake less. -PLUTARCII. lom-os-Winning Company. lOOO-lO-Sergant Co. K.
