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 For a time was a Diale(;tic, but could not stand such sporty life and has withdrawn from that organization in favor of the Chemical Club, of which he is president.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.

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.

16 THE COYOTE Pearl Hitchcock. President of the Willard Literary Society. Was president of the ' 07 ' s during the second semester in the Sophomore year She says she never did anything fa- mous, as debater, orator, etc. , nothing but play basketball, serve as treasurer, and vc»rk on committees. While Pearl is not so very large, she is not the smallest in the class ; while not so very old, she is not the youngest in the class. Present occupation— teaching in the training school, but she objects to having her friends listen outside the w indows, as it is em harassing. Ambition— not to be mentioned. Favorite season : Spring, for that is w hen the (Buds) come. Warren Simpson Thompson, better known as ' ' Tommy, ' ' Theophanian. Grew up in Univer- sity Place. Graduated from University Place High School, entered the Nebraska Wesley an as a third prep, and is tobe graduated with the class of ' 07, of which he is treasurer. Baby of the class, therefore spoiled. Is said to be brilliant, but Tommy couldn ' t help it, for he has never been out of sight of the university. Aspires to become a ' ' Prof. ' ' Has a character- istic giggle. Is in loveand will soon leave Ne- braska for Kirtland. Ethol Langdon. Orophilian. Ethol entered the Nebraska Wesleyan University four years ago and by means of unremitting application to the duties of college life, has won for her- self the sincere regard of her instructors and fellow students. Among the honors which her societv has conferred upon her, is that of Orophilian Literary Critic. This position she filled with such dignity and tact that her friends feel no hesitancy in predicting that she would grace equally well any position she might be called upon to occupy in the future. Miss Langdon contemplates making school teaching her chosen profession at the close of her collegiate career. Robert Rising Morrow began his earthly career. December 18. 1883, near Bennett, Lancaster County, Nebraska— not far from Salt Creek- still he is fresh. As a youth R ,bert says he had all the ambitions common to youths, i. e. from that of wanting to be a railroad engineer, to a successful happy lover. Have all those ambitions yet forsaken him? With two or three years in pedagogical work and as many in an Eastern Univeristy posting, he will complete his education. Though not a star, when opportunity offers itself, we feel that Morrow will be right there with the proper qualifications for philosophically boost- ng the fame of the class of naught-seven.
