MIXRRIED-APl'll 29, 1902, Miss Mary Barbour Whitman to Mr. Lucien Thompson l Varnar. In this windy prairie town of 800 people, having buildings averaging up with, if not beyond those of Oberlin, and a business in many ways as large, and being only two and a half years old, with parsonage buildings, plant improvements, holding the church together, and picking up the piecesg with attending funerals and services ten to ' ' ' f.lf tsmstome twenty-five miles away, the thing most representative o myse is, 1 ee , except, of course in the certainty of striking, a streak of chain lightning. . WALTER E. LAMPHEAR. O. T. S. ,99, O. C. ,0I. Geddes, S. D. Dr. Luce fto Miss Severancej: How many generations you must have seen come and go ! . Miss Holmes: If the day of prayer is on Thursday, why do they have meetings on Wednesday and Friday? Miss Miller, 'o4: Why, it takes one day to get ready for it and one to get over it. Miss Luce, going to chapel with her usual pile of books, was advised: You ought to go not as a beast of burden, but as a beast of prey. Miss Ray: You are young, Mr. MacMillen. When you are older you will know better. Little Mac: Oh, come now! 'You're kidding me. Miss Hardy and Miss Leggatt were out walking last fall and on seeing a sur- veyor's instrument across the street, Miss Hardy said eagerly: Hurry up, Clarag we don't want to get into that picture. Warth's idea of baseball-as Miller '04 goes home on an error, he exclaims: There, he snuck in. Clifton, while saying farewell to Miss Toole on Webster's porch, accidentally leans against the door-bell button. His consternation may be imagined by some, per- haps, when Mrs. Webster appears at the door. If you wish to find your meeting after chapel you must learn to box the compass. The day he left on the Glee Club trip, Sam Hotchkiss wrote this chemistry formula on the blackboard: KI + 2S:KISS. Miss Fette, '05: March is a short month in Kansas, because the wind blows two or three days out of every week. 23

l P. S.- This is the first class baby of '98, and belongs to my brother. It is a good baby and is learning the Hi-Ki. I an1 glad you have decided to dedicate to her whom I have always affectionately called The Madame. I think there is nothing connected with Oberlin that gives her friends more pleasure than the thought that now she is taking her true place in the hearts of the students. For years her position as Dean made her to most students only the strict disciplinarian, and they could not or would ll0t see the magnificent character which she stoically hid under the stern exterior that she thought her duty compelled. That she should have during her last years of service to the college the appreciation and love of the students is more reward than she ever asked for herself or would for a moment stoop to obtain. lk lk 'lf lk 41 Your request for a snap shot of myself and my wife will have to be refused for the reason that I unfortunately have. no wife and will not have up to the moment of your going to press. But my previous activity on college publications makes my heart soft towards those who want things from the alumni, so I will say that I have sent for a snap shot of myself that will please you, I think. It will be sent you in a few days. You may get some sort of a story with it. or you may not, according to how nmch I have to do the night that it comes. Since I have been writing advertise- ments to fill space at live dollars a line, I have learned the value of condensation, so whatever you get will be short. Very sincerely yours, Lucian 'l'. NVARNIQR, 'o8. 22
