Bertha Welcome. ‘‘Above the vulgar flight of common souls.” Bertha was always one who had lofty ideas and notions of her own, above the comprehension of the poor mortal minds of her classmates. But, if anyone wants information on any subject what- ever, let him or her go to Bertha, for she has a ready store of knowledge; and the best part about it is, that she is not sparing with it, but imparts it to any one who asks thereof. We have always classed her among our most brilliant members,and she proves herself worthy of it; for besides once receiving a prize in English, she receiver 1 the prize while in the Freshman Class for high standing in mathematics. Member of Alpha Phi and Deutscher Verein. Minnie Wheeler ‘‘The highest degree of earthly happiness is quietness.” Minnie is built lowr down and w'ide out. She says but very little, and was never known to speak to a person of the male sex except on the greatest provocation. She is from the country, and drives to school every day. She is generally supposed to stud3' a great deal, for she never ap- pears rushed or worried, but instead always calm and contented. She holds fast to her ideas as if she were afraid she would never have any more. She has no inclination toward marriage, but intends to become a teacher. We think she will be an honor to her profession. 25
