CLOW CLEIORHETEA She is little, she is dark, she is sweet,-and she claims that her birthday is in November and that she was born in Ohio, but she claims this in the same modest, unassuming way that she does everything. That is, everything but sing and play the piano. Lorna is graduating in both Voice and Piano, and she is invaluable in Glee Club, Choir and Quartet work, She spends a great deal of her time in Lambert Hall 'ia-singing an' a-singing, but we suspect that now and then she allows her mind to wander away to a mysterious Someone whom We do not know. KILBUCK, OHIO. VANCE E. CRIBBS PHILOMATHEA ' 'Twas the Buckeye state that, one stormy March day in the year-well, longer ago than you would guess, sent forth our hero to show to the world a man, A man he became, big of body as of heart, and a friend whose friendship is cherished by all. Late in his Junior year Vance gave up the activities of college life to enroll for a time in a greater work: and after following his country's call to France as a member of Co. B, 309th Engineers, 84th Division, he returns to complete his course as a member of the class of '20, Of boundless energy and industry, he finds it possible not only to delve into his chosen held of science, but also to dispense at odd hours divers varieties of pleasing confeetions to frequenters of Willie's. NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO. FLORENCE DIXON CLEIORHETEA The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la brought with them one bright May day to this good old state, a maiden named Florence Dixon. For years she has had the piano for her close companion and is able to do wonders with it. She also plays the pipe organ-in all, she has a well rounded musical education. Florence does not toot her own horn, but there is a quiet dignity about her that makes her well worth knowingg and, to hear her play, we predict that those lingers Hying up and down the key-board will make her famous.

lr Page Twenty-four e ...Mat W MARY HELEN BALLINGER b CLEIORHETEA 'Twas in the picturesque region of Findlay, Ohio, in the drear month of November, that Mary Helen arrived in this vale of tears. But since that day she has made the world several times brighter and cheerier for being in it. She came to Otterbein in her junior year, and ever since she has been dis- seminating enthusiasm and wit. From the very day she and May arrived at Cochran Hall last September they have been one and inseparable-and when these two plot mischief it is well to beware. But next year we shall miss the mischief as well as the line literary ability that Mary displays. She expects to dabble in journalism, so not far in the future we may scan the newspapers for her scintillating editorialettes, FINDLAY, OHIO. FRANK L. BARNUM PHILOPHRONEA This quiet you-ng native of Weste1'vil1e, though not one of the most advertised of our number, is one whose friendship improves with acquaintance, and whose good qualities are highly admired by those who know him. Being born in the stormy month of March did not disturb in the least Doc's calm and tranquil disposition. During the late national crisis he acquitted himself very creditably as a member of his Uncle Samuel's little touring party, the A. E. F., and spent the greater part of his army life overseas. We do not like to think, how- ever, that any bent of character explains his being selected for such roles as Mephistopheles and Bluebeard in the annual French plays, in which he always stars. WESTERVILLE, OHIO. EDITH GRAY BINGHAM CLEIORHETEA It was one warm August day, among the sunny hills of old Kentuek', that our Sis Bingham first arrived on this hemisphere. Perhaps that partially accounts for her sunny nature and unfailing good temper. Sis came to Otterbein as a Sophomore because of her previous school experience, but she has enjoyed her three years as much as some less intensive people would have enjoyed ten, She has been president of the Y. VV. C. A., and has succeeded in making it popular with the girls. She is quite clever at writing stories.-her characters always being more than usually unusual. As a member of the Quiz and Quill Club, and also as Contributing Editor of the T. and C., Edith is looking forward to a journalistic career. IRONTON, OHIO.

get at e I Page Twenty-six ETHEL L. EUBANKS CLEIORHETEA Teck First made her bow to this busy state of Ohio along towards the time of year when the turkey has his day. Since then she has become quite accustomed to bowing to audiences charmed by her lovely voice. This is only her third year in Otterbein, but she is receiving a degree in Voice and a diploma in Piano. Last year she won a prize in the Declamation con- test with her Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Ethel has quanti- ties of seniorly dignity, but frequently she has been known to associate with a certain theological Sophomore. Not only by her musical talent but also by her capability when placed in responsible positions and her very inherent goodness, she has pleased us all. JACKSON, OHIO. J. WADE FAUSEY PHILOPHRONEA Who dates back to a torrid day in August when the state of Ohio tallied up one more in her record of population, and the artistic world held its breath in anticipation of another Rembrandt. A born artist-hair and all,-this fine chap has per- severed through years of delay, and comes now to the end of his work in O. C. and the entry into wider lields. During the war Wade served as a member of the U. S. N. R. F., 7th Regi- ment, Great Lakes. An inveterate friend and admirer of the gentler sex, in general, in particular, and in every other Way, his mania for social dates with the fair co-eds has been limited only by their availability and by the number of days in the Week. Fair Weather, fine fellow, throughout your long voyage! GIBSONBURG, OHIO. EMMA JOSEPHINE FOOR PHILALETHEA An Ohio product with the amethyst for her birthstone. Jo has been in Otterbein four years, evolving from an Ordi- nary Freshman into an Extraordinarily Nice Senior. She was sufficiently dignified and awe-inspiring to be elected president of Cochran Hall Association, but in spite of this weighty office she is still her jolly self. As vice-president of the Y. NV. C. A. she has proved a good mixer among girlsg and as a member of the Quiz and Quill she has shown her creative and critical ability in literature. Io prophesies that she will sit behind a teacher's desk ere long, and if her vision comesntrue, we envy those who call her teacher. She has boundless enthus- iasm, and is always ready with appropriate Words for any occasion. - OHIO CITY, OHIO.
