14 THE COYOTE N. Agnes Enyeart. Born in Missouri, to be prepared for her, Don ' t believe it, show me. ' ' Later moved to Oklahoma, but was soon attracted to Nebraska by the fame of Wesleyan. She is a minister ' s daughter so of course can t be otherwise than good. By nature, modest and kind. Very studious, when she isn ' t otherwise. Laughs at those who haven ' t time, for Agnes has time for everything : sewing, cooking, housekeeping, ball games, recitals, lectures, class meetings and walking— yes everything. Fond of fruit, especially lemons. Entered University as a third prep, and is proud to be graduated with the class of ' 07. Future prospect— keep- ing house in Canada. Lewis Franklin Townsend. Born in the Stone age. Short, thick, and fat in figure. Came to Wesleyan six years ago and has spent most of his time arguing with his Profs — since reciting ones lesson is so incon- venient. He does not believe in waiting till his College life is over, to decide about the future ; but is already a married preacher. In the near future he expects to attend Drew Theological Seminary, where, no doubt, he will build up higher the fame of Wesleyan. Harriet A. Pearson. The fact that she is president of the Oratorical Association, vice- president of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, liter- arv editor of the college paper, and a preach- er ' s daughter, is proof sufficient of her popu- larity. She spent her Freshman and Sopho- more yeais at Hastings College, but came to the Nebraska Wesleyan to be a member of the mighty — in her Junior year. She is very prominent in the Department of English, both as a brilliant student, and as a superior afflicted with the red ink habit. Ambitious, energetic, and never weary with well doing, is our Harriet. Ralph Eugene Cressey. Was discovered in Iowa, where Red Oak was handy, late in October 1884. He is the youngest child of his parents, likewise the eldest. He never did anything worthy of note until he entered Wesleyan four years ago. He took regular work in the military department and special work on the outside. He attained to the highest positions in his military work and expects to, in his outside work soon. An Oro- philian. Hopes to become president of the amalgamated railway systems in the near future. Success to him.

THE COYOTE 13 Leila Mary Admire, Theophanian. Small in stature ; brilliant in intellect, and fond of the boys. Born in Oakdale, Nebraska, where she has resided, in the same house, ever since. Graduated from High School when sixteen. She soon retired to Wesley an, became a fresh- man and has been promoted ' every year from that time on. Her favorite exclama- tions are O Ben ! and O joy ! — Laughs at any old joke. She has not yet sufficiently im- pressed the preps, with her ' ' Seniority, ' to keep them from requesting the elementary literature assignment of her. In the near future, however — being too young to decide further— she expects to be a lady professor. Charles H. Windnagle, Theophanian. The hero of the class is twenty -two years, old and not very pretty, having an Oom Paul cut of features. Yet he is a gentleman of the Elizabethan style. Favorite hero— Sir Walter Raleigh, over whom he improves for he carries the ladies across the muddy streets He comes from the wild and wooly west, but nevertheless has decided ideas as to the prop- erties of ladies dress. At present is presi- dent of the Y. M. C. A. Intends to be a preacher. Edith De Bra (Iraham, Willard. Served the society as vice-president, secretary and literary critic, also held a place on the stafL of the Wesley an as music critic. Filled each of these places most efficiently. She has spent seven years at Wesleyan. Her chosen pro- fession is that of a teacher. Favorite studies French and English. She has never been known to participate in class ' ' scraps, ' ' but has awlays upheld the dignity of the class. R. A. Gortner. Poet, scientist. Born among the sand hills of Holt County, Neb- raska. When still quite young he went to Africa and ever since asserts that he crossed the ocean. No one believes it, however, for he insists that the ocean ' s roar in the sea shell is a delusion That he is successful in chem- ical science is shown by the fact that he has made five original researches with Dr F. J. Awlay which have already appeared in the American Chemical Journal and Berichte.

THE COYOTE 15 Alice York. This modest and unpreten- tious Senior passed her early days in Minn- esota, where she attended school in a little log school house. She showed her brilliancy by beginning her career as a teacher at the early age of sixteen. She has been Principal of the Ulysses and O ' Neill High Schools and has a diploma from the Nebraska State Nor- mal School. Not being satisfied with all these achievements she came to VVesleyan in time to join the illustrious class of 1907. In June she will have an A. B. degree (which has been the greatest of her childish dreams. ) Domestic life has no charms for her,— she prefers to teach Latin. L.L.Clark, alias Verne. Born at Ashland, Nebraska, 1885. His early life was an un- eventful, bashful one. He was in love only once. In his later life has outgrown such weaknesses, though his bashfulness remains. For a time was a Diale(;tic, but could not stand such sporty life and has withdrawn from that organization in favor of the Chemical Club, of which he is president. Likes— chicken. Holds a place on the Basket Ball Team. Can ' t decide whether to be a Chemist or a Physical Director in the future. Edna Adell Slater. A Nebraskan by birth and a Wesley an student by choice, coming from Minden four years ago to cast her lot with the class of ' 07. She has endeared her- self to the members of the class by her abil- ity and tact in running the slate as well as by her calm and dignified manner in lead ing the Senior line out of chapel each morn- ing. A loyal Willard, in which society she has been honored by a number of offices. However frivolous she may have been in her youth, she does not merit such an appellation in the Senior year, for her life is (E)arnest now, and bids fair to be more so as the years go by. Lynn Lemon. This most universally known student at Wesleyan. was born some time, some where. He will be Wesleyan ' s first grandson, his father being an alumnus. The people of University Place once tried to aid him by sending him as a missionary to the Philippines, but to their sorrow could not raise the necessary funds. He spends con- isderable time in the bacterology laboratory trying to find the secret of making hair and faking credits. After graduation he expects to go to his farm in Canada as boss of a score of laborers.
