uated from both the normal and commercial departments and completed her college course. XNith her usual sagacity she early recognized the superior advantages afforded by association with the class of '09 and stayed out of college a year in order to avail herself of them.

This very acceptable stu- dent came to us from Allegheny College in the fall of 1908. She was born December 20, 1886, at Salamanca, N. Y., on the Indian reservation, which accounts for her very curly hair. She has attended schools in three states and is very well read. Absentminded and thoughtful as she is, she was a jewel on the Unionian staff. Her favorite exclamation is Qthumbs dovvnj : Mercy, Percy. A favor to her is answered most gra- ciously by Thank you, thank you kindly, thank you most to death, sir. She votes for Bryan and is fond of walking, is not supposed to know mathematics and her Hheartls desire is a farm, which will be the repeti- tion of Tennysonianis Princess She is the class poet. Mabel Heckler, B. A., R. L. S., A. X. D. Born in Illinois at Urbana or thereabouts, in 1885 or thereabouts.

VV. C. A. conventions have been the crown- ing successes. She has shone as a Thalian and she has philosophized as one of the rarest lights of the philosophical department. A charm- ing musician, she often entertains a large and appreciative audience. To enumerate her accomplishments were an endless task. Let us quote a fond lover Cand no names mentioned, as there might be great rivalry among the many who aspire to her handj: 'fBlue hair, curly eyes, ivory lips, and ruby teeth-my beautiful Mabel. The class is proud of Mabel, her college is proud of her and she in turn is a faith- ful class mate and a loyal member of old Mount Union. Ross Philip Thomas, S. B., L. L. S., S. A.
