M. ETHELYN WAKEFIELD, S. PASADENA If ever, in attempting to mount the broad steps of the Hall of Letters, your further progress were impeded by an impenetrable mass of the gilded youth for which O. C. is famous, you would have no need to inquire as to the cause of the gathering. It would surely be Ethelyn holding her court, and before this accomplishment even her mathematical prowess fades into the dim background. Great social triumphs are to be predicted for the lively Miss Wakefield. FRANCES GRACE WEBSTER, C. PASADENA Our sympathies have often been tendered to Miss Webster during this last year. While all the other students, particularly the Freshmen, could with impunity brave the perils of Prof. Tr'ipp's office, and even call to their assistance extra keys, if they chaneed to find the door locked, poor Grace was forced to stand shivering outside the portal. After vigorous protest, she was finally allowed to receive her letters, which doubtless contained com- forting news from the north. D 0 Ji -X xi! 24

SYDNEY McKEE, L. LOS ANGELES A very noble man, literary and an orator. His languid air is the result of feverish effort to catch up with that forlorn hope, the Senior Class. Mr. McKee's talks on Ethical Culture are enjoyed by many students-under compulsion. We are not at liberty to announce his plans to aid benighted students. Let all know that the brevity of this notice is due to lack of space rather than appreciation. A JAMES MCMICHAEL, c. WINNEBAGO, ILL Mac is a gentleman who comes to us from Monmouth, Beloit and Coe. He is granted to be a good student, a splendid orator and a kind friend. By his broad views and untiring zeal he has done much to help the Senior Class to come out of the trance into which they had fallen while worshiping their ancestors, the great Dan and Haw Basileus Cleland. CARL WALLACE PETTY LOS ANGELES Petite is the dapper young assistant to the Dean of Men. His chief accomplishment is the ability to talk for a long time without breathing. He is well known as the youth with the loud ha! ha! but he styles himself the ladies' man. He named the junior Annual LA ENCINA. Oh, yes! CATHERINE EDITH POWELL, L. AZUSA This maiden is one of the greatest sources of pride to this Senior Class. Divinely tall and most divinely fair, she sweeps resplendent through the corridors of 0. C. Renowned as a society queen, it is remarkable that she, of all girls is most in need of that very useful article, an umbrella. Why? Surely you know that of all days, she prefers one that is Raney. S ANGELES GEORE NYE STEIGER, C. L0 The Great Exponent of Dress Reform. Born and raised in aristocratic surroundings, he takes the leadership of all great movements. His speeches are like to those of Burke or Webster. Fortunate the age in which he lives as an example of greatness in public and private life. None but himself can be his parallel. 23
