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.

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 .Y I Y i Mi M Atlasssr.-easwfvri - A- - Y li 'nur CHARLES L. FOX PHILOPHRONEA Lamont was born in Ohio in the month of February. He came to Otterbein as a member of the Freshman class of 1916. Right merrily he stepped out as a basket shooter on the famous O. C. quintet of that year, and won for himself not only a position on that particular team, but a high place in Otterbeins basketball annals which he has held throughout his entire col- lege course. He has totalled 668 points in four years, some- thing of a record in intercollegiate basketball. After serving at the OfF1cer's Training School at Fort Sheridan, Charley spent last year helping train the S. A. T. C. at Qtterbein. Although naturally gifted he has never been accused of overstudy. Athletic in general, president of his class two years. and presi- dent of the students' C. E., he has done his bit around school. WESTERVILLE, OHIO. LEORA GOCHENOUR CLEIORHETEA The Great Artist First painted a dreary November land- scape scene in Ohio, and on this background introduced the enchanting Miss Leora. The little girl has grown up a faithful student of the Beautiful and will graduate in Art this year. In fact, she spends so much of her time on the fourth floor of Lambert Hall that we don't see much of her anywhere else. Leora has a taste for music also. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club and Choral Society. But any particular talent or bent she may have is overshadowed by her absolute and contagious optimism, No one can resist her hearty laughterg and we know that, in Otterbein or out, she will always be an excellent companion and friend. WESTERVILLE, OHIO. NORRIS W. GRABILL PHILOMATI-IEA The coming Paderewski of the class of 1920 is a native Ohioan, born on a beautiful day in June. And what is so rare as a day in June, unless it be this little Senior himself, with his live feet hve of upper-class dignity? He has distinguished himself on piano and pipe organg to say that a career awaits him is to speak with reserve. A baseball Ou adorns the chest of our doughty hero. Answering the bugle in the spring of '18, Norris was a year in the army with Co. B, 309th Eng., spending most of that time in France. Here he used his knowledge of French to gain a first-hand understanding of the land and peo- ple, and frequent znissives addressed in feminine hand still come from La Belle France.
