Emma Welch Davis. “How far that little candle throws its beams.” Member of Alpha Phi and Athletic Associa- tion and Deutscher Verein. You might think on looking at Emma's picture that she was large, but she isn’t. That is, of course, physically. To see her you wrould wonder how such a small person could have the heart and brain she has. She is al- ways ready to lend a helping hand, and is never too busy to give any desired assistance. If you want anyhting done, go to Emma. She has a won- derful intellect, a modest disposition, and a heart of pure gold. Her friends are many, may they never cease to increase. Mary Draper. “Here’s a true industrious friend -God bless her.” Member of Alpha Phi, Literary Editor of Eidolon, member of Deutscher Verein. Mary’s chief fault, if it may be called a fault, is her unwillingness to get up and speak out. In class meetings she has wonderful ideas and plans, but somebody always has to explain them for her. Notwithstanding this, Mary is one of the best students, and also is very good company. For some years she has been the first aid to the unprepared in English and Latin, and altogether a very good friend in time of need. Her compositions are the wonder of the class, and we have never ceased to marvel at the marks she gets on them. We fully expect to hear some day of the famous novelist, Miss Draper, whom we used to know as just plain Mary. 18

Paris T. Carlisle, Jr. ■‘A silver-tongued orator.” Secretary of class, secretary of Business Com- mittee of the Eidolon, member of Alpha Phi, Sec- retary of Athletic Association, member of Deuts- cherVerein. P. T is a remarkably good student. He studies hard, but has a good time along with his work. His accomplishments are numerous and varied, but his poultry and milling interest sur- pass all else. No mischief is planned and carried out without having Paris for the leader. Yet he always manages to escape without having to pay a grave penalty. He is a fine bluffer, and can get into mischief without getting into the slightest trouble. He has done much for the development of the Eidolon ; he is friendly’ with everyone and is sure to win, if for no other reason than because of his agreeable and gener- ous disposition. Thomas Carlisle Collins ‘‘Laugh, and the world laughs with you.” Member of Alpha Phi, and Athletic Asso- ciation. Dick is a quiet, unobtrusive and bash- ful chap. To a casual observer he woidd ap- ptar to be very sober, but those who are well acquainted with him enjoy his witty sayings and his hearty laugh. It it a sure cure for the blues to be with him. He seems very quiet when young ladies are present; but the old proverb that ‘‘still waters run deep,” may apply in this case ; so girls beware! Carlisle, you take undue advantage of us when you present all the girls who sit near you with a box of can ly. Talk about your dead game sports ! Isn’t this an example? 17

Elma Deputy. “Serenity and cheerfulness were her portion.” Elma is one of that distinguished group which conies from the charming city of Union. Her home city is not to be found on the map, but can be easilv found by anyone interested. She thinks much and says little. If you want to know much alxnit her. you should ask her mother or some of the family, for other people know little. All we know is that she is a good student, and one of those on the honor roll. We hope that she will create more of a commotion in the world than she ever has in the school. May Deputy So very kind and yet so shy.” This is our little Puritan maiden. Others may change, but May is always the same, yesterday, to-day, and forever. In her quiet way she is al- ways your friend. Nothing disturbs her except NOISE. More than one brave youth has stormed the castles of her heart; but after all May’s heart, in spite of this, still has room for every joy, and she has a kind word for all. She is known as Faith, one of the members of the trio, which was a valuable addition to the class during its Sophomore year. iu
