GUSTAVUS BARRE GILES. The purut treasury mortal Hutu aiord I: spams: repulahorm-SHAKESMu 1910-11-Managcr of Track Tam. Giles is in all respects an ideal gentleman. His future life will be a successful one. not throu h any amount of shrewdness or self- asscmon, but through his unselfish manners and consideration for the feelings of others. Who can name the person who bears not a good word for Barre? RALPH ELTON GONGVVER. Let me have men about me that are fat. -Squzsan Some persons say that fat folks are always jolly. hVell, has anybody ever seen Gongwer look angry? His earnestness and his desire to do all things well make him the kind of man that the world needs. His serene 00d humor and his mlmness in the face 0 all difhculties have made his influence felt. GRACE GOODHART. I have no other but a woman? reason. -SHAKESPEAIF. From the verdant hills of Blucmont she comes, the pcrsonihmtion of breezy, whole- some good-nature. We are very much in- glebtyd to Grace for her optimism, especially m umcs of hard luck-and, Grace, we thank yqu awfully for the lovely doughnuts you bnng us from Sadie's larder. Pug: thnty-n'gh!

JESSE FLEGMAN Ht hall: a dry u-iL-SHAKESPEARL Jcssehs jokes are somewhat feeble with age. but we forgive him; and his history reci- taxions are long-windcd, but we donht mind that. since they give us time for a much- needed nap. He hasn't made himself con- spicuous in any of the outside activities of the school. because he is here for business and hard work, but he has onally supported every enterprise of school and class. JOH N XVARRI NGTON GALE. A moral. u'cII bred, sensible man. -SHAKESPEARE. 1908-09-Sophomore Play. 1909-10-Spring Play, Orchestra. lQlo-ll-Manager of MAROON AND GRAY. When it comes to common sense and ease of manners combined, Gale takes the lead. He always sees his way clearly, and takes the happy medium that lies between extravagant enthusiasm and lethargic indifference. His most enviable quality, though, is his ability to forget himself completely and be sociable and pleasant with everyone. FRANCIS WILLIS GAVIN. Slow and :ltady win: the ract.-OLD SAYING. 1907-03-Winning Company. When Gavin first began his high school course. he was honored by one of his teachers mth the title of Human Question Mark. Gavin feels his way slowly, and through a col- lection of unique and ever-ready questions he manages to keep himself well posted and al- ways on the right track. A: for his accom- plishmcnts, Roddy is Teeh's most famous basso. He sings the scale of C to a per- fection, and can sing lower than anyone else at school. 1111: 'I'wmly-uwn

DOROTHY GOULD. Her htad Iva: bare, Bu! for hrr naliw ornament of hair, ll'ln'rh in a :imrlc knot 2m: n'cd above. -Duvnr,x. mm-ll-Maroon and Gray Boardi Dorothy's reputation for knowledge has grown to such heights that the girls even ask her advice as to what kind of brain food to cat. Her head is excellent in its proportions; thc inside is well balanced by the outside. We are all quite sure that she goes home after school. and studies until she returns the next morning. There is nothing that we need hope for Dolly. for she is sure to get it without our vain wishing. AUGUSTA MARGARET GRAEFE. Persuasive :ptech, and more persuaJ-ive sighs, Silent: that speak: and tloqucnc: of eyes. -Snnxzsnnr. Augusta's persuasive powers are unequalled in English. and many times have we seen her persuade her tnchers that she rally did know her lesson. Rumor says that she has entirely convinced someone that she is won- derful. but we do not think this tool: much persuasion. WALTER BERTON GRIGSBY. A large mam-Bmowmxc. 1908'0'J-Corporal's Medal. Co. C. looo-lo-Scrgam Co. C, Football Team, Baseball Team, Agora. IDIO-II-Manager of Bascball Team. There are all sorts of good things that we could say about Jack We all like him be- ausc he is always jolly, considerate of others, and because hes so big, in body and mind. and hurt. I 515?
