S TEWART COLLINS : At first we could get Stewart to say nothing at all, but when he once started he talked freely. Well — per- haps — I don ' t know — but then I think that I will become a professional base- ball catcher. I ' ve had experience in this and have one hand left yet, and by working- this along ' with the Chris- tian Instructor as an advertiser, will make a living. — .B aifea NORA SMITH: ' ' Well, I positively refuse to tell you anything about myself, and besides I think that it ' s not anybody ' s business what I ' m going to do. But then, as you are a personal friend of mine, I will tell you that I am going to teach. I am very glad I came to Monomuth College. ELBERT McCREERY: When the reporter went to call on Mr. McCreery he was very busy, but after some hours he came out and greeted him with a smile. Oh, yes, I will tell you anything I know, if you will keep out that dreadful break I made up at Philo when the A. B. L. girls were up — when I said that we would all be awfully glad when the Montgomery meetings were over. ANNA ROBB : Well, sir, that is rather a pointed question, sir, and, sir, I don ' t know that I will tell you. But if you promise not to tell, I will tell you that I expert to go back to Ohio, and then to Penij- sylvania. I have heard so much about that State that I think I would like lu go there. ' ' WILLIAM McDOUGAT.: The reporter visited Mr. McDousra ' , who is the representative from Chari- ton, Iowa, but he g-ot no information from him; for although he talked much, he said nothing, as usual, of any importance. Like a great many Seniors, he does not know exactly what he will do, and we have no doubt that he will make a success of it.

)ein]n(D)ir ©Da [ Throug-h the kindness of the Monmouth College Extra. which is published whenever occasion seems to demand, we furnish the follov -ing ' interviews and pictures which the reporter, Mr. T. L. Capps, got from the members of the Senior Class. We disclaim responsibility for any- thing here said.— Editors. ] MARTHA HANNA: Yes, indeed, my college days have been pleasant. Of course, I have great attachment for my class, but notwith- standing this fact I have been often urged by one of the .Juniors to come an- other term. I hardly expect to do so. I don ' t know yet just what I will do the next few years while I ' m waiting, but I always make it a point to enjoy myself. GEORGE BARR: Well, good morning. Oh, yes. hunt- ing up something- about us ' Well, I came to Monmouth ' cause I was tired of the farm, and then I wanted to in- crease my mental qualities : and then I ' m great on having a good time. I haven ' t decided yet just what I will do, but expect to go as a missionary to some place or other. Well, good morning, but don ' t be in a hurry. I never am. ELIZABETH WEED : Well, I think that I will get up a vaudeville troupe next year. I have had some experience in this kind of work and have been very successful. I do think that there would be a splen- did opening for some woman along this line, and have decided to go into it for the edification of the saints. DELIA DAVIDSON: Oh, goodness gracious me! There comes one of those reporters around to interview me. Oh, yes, you want to interview me, and want to know what I ' m going to do? Well, I hardly know, but I think I ' will go East next year to complete my education. If I can get a Count, or even an Earl, I may go to England to live.

HUGH GALLOWAY : Yes, my home is in Iowa, although I do not live on Skunk river. I have enjoj ' ed college very much, and have dunn all I possibly could to have a good time. I intend to move my family to the State of Matrimony as soon as I am through school, as I believe it is the best state — State of the union. MYRA PATTISON : Did you ask me what I am going to do when I am through school? Well, I hardly know. I am an expert in breaking the way through snow a foot or so deep, and I have been offered a position of . this kind in Alaska. I think that I should not devote my life to anything very commonplace, how- ever. ROi GRAHAM: I am Professor Graham ' s son, and am a great lady ' s man. Why, I could make any girl in College fall in love with me in a day. But I don ' t care to have them all at once; one at a time suits me very well. Yes, I expect to enter medical college next year, and think that I will make a great doc- tor. NELLIE NICHOL : I have been educating myself with the view of going- as a foreign mis- sionary, but then it hardly seems right for me to leave when there are so many heathen at home. This has been causing me a good deal of trouble to tell what I should do. I think that we have been very successful in col- lege, and know that you will all miss our class verj ' much. DAVID McBRIDE: David, commonly called ' •Deacon. was a little hard to start when the reporter visited him. We could not start him on any subject which he considered frivolous but he always would turn it off to something about Ninth Avenue. Mr. McBride ' s strongest point is his ability to pose as a g-eneral information bureau. Mr. McBride wishes it understood that he prefers Xenia to Allegheny.
