x Senior Class Colors Cardinal and White Officers J. P. HAGERMAN, President GRACE WEBSTER, Vice-President ETHELYN WAKEFIELD, Secretary JAMES MCMICHAEL, Treasurer ww Class Roll EDWIN HODGE CRABTREE, C. PASADENA A scion of one of Kentucky's noblest families, a youth of such extra- ordinary social gifts and attractiveness of person that he is in constant demand for all society functions-outside Occidental. His reportorial ability has secured for this precocious adolescent the editorship of the Chi1dren's Page of the Examiner. Yet, strange to say, Crab has not tried to run the Junior Class, as some other Seniors of less ability. EDNA DELL CUMBERLAND, L. M. LOS ANGELES When we think of the class of '06 we involuntarily think of Edna Cumberland. This sweet girl has always a smile and kind word for all whom she meets, and may be depended upon to always do the right thing in the right place. Therefore, we may be sure that she will make a certain young theologian blissfully happy. Of course she will. GENEVIEVE M. CUMBERLAND, L. LOS ANGELES This lengthy Senior lass presents to the observer a character quite different from the ordinary Senior type. Her most notable characteristic is that of excessive fondness for the boys' part of the hall. In spite of this, however, her scholarship is unsurpassed, and in Greek especially she is re- nowned as being one of the bright, particular stars. 20

ERNEST JOHN CUMMINGS, C. CARPENTERIA A pensive soul given to poetic musings and occasional utterings of effusions on Spring or The First Rain. Studious search of Classic Myths results in the marvelous embellishment of these productions. At times he leaves the pouring out of his soul over the Hill Club piano to engage in the tender care of an infant. He never goes without a chaperon. REBECCA PEARL ELLIS, L. WHITTIER It has always been a matter of the profoundest wonder that a class, so frivolous as is the present Senior aggregation, could have retained a person of such serious temperament and deeply religious turn of mind as Miss Ellis. Never would she countenance a cut from chapel, and as for being absent from Y. W.! Imagination ceases operation under such a strain! Such devotion to a cause is unparalleled. MARGARET GORDON GRANT, C. LOS ANGELES This Scotch lassie of the Senior flock is a problem for faculty and student body. Her one great failing is her wholesale cutting of chapel and similar exercises. Her frivolity, which perhaps is brought about by undue grief over the absence of the missing Senior is unbounded. She is young, how- ever, and it is hoped that in time she will outgrow it. JAMES PERCIVAL HAGERMAN, C. SAN BERNARDINO This is the greatest honor conferred on Mr. Hagerman since he entered Occidental College. If it is not, he will leave the institution one week from next Wednesday, and never darken these halls of learning again. Percival is withal so modest, so retiring that information about him is difficult of access. Those who know him have frequently urged him to participate in student politics or athletics, but he has persistently resisted all such impulses, declaring that he is interested only in the intellectual life and that he detests athlomaniacs. Here is a health to Hag, our friend and pride. PHILIP BENJAMIN KENNEDY BELOIT, WISCONSIN Kennedy has come to Occidental from Beloit. He is reported to be an orator, but we cannot say. However, he wears a Senior gown wellg that we do know. ' 22
