MARY WORTH I think of thee, sweet lady, as of one Too pure to mix with others; like some star, Shining in pensive beauty all alone, Kindred with those around, yet brighter far. Our “guardian angel.” It is interesting to note how many of the Class may be described by one of their names. Mary was never known to be angry—if so, she would not condescend to show it. A member United Order of Mirth. Vice-President Class 1911; President, Girls Literary Society; Editor THE SAND FIppLer. LEILA EDNA WOODCOCK Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full of the milk of human kindness. A “wee small’ voice, quite as small in stature, and a most friendly nature. One of our Seven Wonders: enjoys Latin ! 19

GLADYS BROWNRIGG TAYLOR Merrily, merrily, shall I live now Under the blossoms that hang on the bough. Secretary of the Class. She doesn’t see clouds; always overflowing with wit and humor, ah, how she despises those lessons ! Unless in an absent-minded mood she can read Latin like a Roman. Secretary Class, 1909-’10; Secretary Class, 1910-11. ANNIE EVELYN TAYLOR She’s little but she’s wise; She’s a terror for her size. The terror has reference to her ability as a debater. If you are from Missouri, ask Annie, for honestly, she knows. Yes, she en- joys an argument—that is, if one Lionel Leo is not the other debater. Together with one other she leads her Class in History with a yearly average of 96. Secretary Class, 1908-09.

LUTHER LEIGHTON LEE BOONE, JR. Men should be what they seem; Or, those that seem not, would they might seem none, Although his language is a bit modern and “breezy,” when he speaks of the heroes of ancient Rome, he is the original Auneas when it comes to reading Latin. Secretary and Treasurer, Tennis Asso- ciation; Football Team; Captain, Basketball Team, Captain, Track Team; Dramatic Club; Lawyer, Class Day. AVON BLUE, JR. Quit yourselves like men. He practices the above, although the boys do call him ‘‘Baby Blue.’”’ A firm believer in out door sports; a very possible mark for Cupid; but no “lame duck” in his bocks.
