 Alice Benjamin Editor of the Tatler And still she reads on Alice is the bright anil shining light of the class from the tip of her nose to the sole of her shoes! I low could we get along in Latin, Math, French, and English without the aid of her master mind? Alice also revels in gory talcs of torture and in wild western detective stories. We warn you never get into an argument with her, for it will never end, no matter whether she should be squelched or not. Every year Alice has been at our good old Alma Mater, she has held various and distinctive honorary positions. Hurrah for good old Al! Sally Connell Head oi Athletics And uj) she raised her bright blue eyes and sueetly smiled on him Sally takes the cake, no matter whether it’s a real one or one given figuratively for good sportsmanship and good-nature. One of the chief features in the morning is to hear what form her greeting will take—it’s anything from a cheerful noncommittal Hi!” to a decided grunt, but you’re sure she’s there anyway. Sally is a particularly charming example of She was only a minister’s daughter, but—'. Page Six

Betty Bean Editor oi the Tatler Mistress of herself though China fall” Betty, we are convinced, knows her Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Tennyson and Keats better than anyone else in the world. This is a little hard on the rest of us, but we smile and try our best to look intelligent while she quotes passages entirely unknown to us. There is general rejoicing when she brings Alcibiades, her car, to school. Ten or twelve people are a few too many for the poor little black martyr, but Alcy never fails his mistress though he sometimes has to be coaxed and cajoled into good humor. After having served obscurely on the Tatler Board for years, Betty has finally come through to the light, and we hope that the glow of pride won’t extend farther down than her hair. Ruth Barney Editor oi the Tatler And I laughed when 1 saw him in spite of myself.” There is no need to tell our readers of Ruthie’s ability as an artist. Her nim-pic” drawings are so popular that their lithesome figures in Clcopatric positions adorn almost every book in the senior room. Besides being an artist, Ruthie is also something of an athlete. She always manages to get on all the class teams (not that that’s so much of an honor, considering all of the athletic seniors). If you haven’t seen her five scars, she will be glad to make an appointment anytime to recount the gory details. We have a suspicion that her genius for making ghastly faces will open paths for her in a villainous dramatic career, and we are already dreading the day she will come back to haunt us in the Phantom of the Opera.” Page Fil e

Mary Jane Dineen Trkasuri r oi Senior Class Who did not gain, but was, success” Iowa is noted for its tall corn, and we can also give it credit for Mary Jane. (Upon investigation it was found that she hails from Illinois.) Hurrah for Iowa! (Illinois). The last and most illustrious addition to our already illustrious class, she immediately established a firm place in the hearts of us all, and shall always be remembered for her sunny grin and her readiness to help us out in our difficulties of learning and in collecting the inevitable class dues. Emily Douglas She would ask—I lea tens! How she would ask!” If it is true that a person may gain knowledge by asking questions, our little Emily should be a veritable star in the firmament of great scholars. She always bears the brunt of all our teasing, and her unhappy squawks re-echo down the corridor at many a happy noon hour. She has fulfilled well her duties as class representative and has attained excellent results by keeping people quiet with her undying expression, Oh, Shoot!” Page Seven
