China? - A ! t . GRADUATES' AUTOBIOGRAPI-IIES Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us. All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely playersg They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. The Lord wished to reward man, so He placed me in the midst of human- ity. My hair is exceptionally curly, slanting slightly toward the golden color. My sparkling eyes are my greatest attraction and my features are simply perfect. My talents abound in any line of knowledge and I promise to be a second Thomas Aquinas. I am happy to be able to bequeath my superfluous knowledge in science, music, and art to my sister and brothers on some occasion when they are old enough to realize the value of such gifts and the efficiency of the giver. The tact of stage performance comes to me naturally, and say, it's the talk of the town. ' I shall linger no longer on my endless line of rare talents and all I have to say is: Respect a man, he will do the more. DANIEL MEYERS, '27, I was born in the year 1908-I think the Lord surely made a mistakeg al- though I'm glad that I am here even if it is a Valley of Tears. From all details it seems that in my earliest boyhood I was the cutest little chap in the neighbor- hood, and everyone went into ecstasy over my golden hair. Time and appearance have changed. Now I am in the prime of my youth. It seems as though all my beautiful features are clinging to me, except my golden hair, which has been replaced by a heavy growth of black hair. Athletics, such as basketball and football, in my mind, are downright foolish- ness. I would rather, any time of the day, take a Latin book and study its idioms than play a game of ball. Since I am rather small of stature, feeble 'and weak, naturally every boy in the class loves to push me around. It is a great handicap to be thus situated. ' A little body often harbors a great soul. Lao Ronxowsxi, '27, I think it is simply preposterous to ask me, who possesses so very many rare qualities, to write my autobiography. If I were to venture to write an account of all my characteristics the public would judge me vain and foolish. They might not even give me credit for them. Everyone who has seen me knows that I am not noted for beauty, but I sur- pass all my classmates in talents and abilities. I have a great faculty for retaining the knowledge acquired. My chief delight is to sit by the hour and solve mathe- matical problems. But in this vast and constantly changing society of modern days if one rises above his fellow-creatures there is risk that he may be misunder- stood. Such is, sad to say, the case with me. 'Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Semproniusg we'll deserve it. LILLIAN MCAULIFFEQ, '27. VX g . , ' . 131mg 5 W -N , x r APE .,3isif 7N5?.

04111 - - V M. -., if Q ' . 'xxx'- pnrsw.-.s- rs'f 48 : - It must have been a sweet breath of life that was breathed into this body of seventeen years ago, for'sweetness has grown to be a part of my very being. I am not the frivolous, fickle sort of person that is so very common today. I love music-I could sit for hours and hours and hours playing classical se- lections. I see nothing whatever in Jazz and find little delight in dancing. Then, too, I'd much rather sit before a fireplace and read poetry. It appeals strongly to my nature, yes, I love it. Sweetness is likewise manifest in my features. My eyes are as blue as the bluest skies and they twinkle like stars at night. My mouth is like a red rose whose petals are lined with snow. The very sunbeams seem to linger above this little head of ringlets. One poet has sung: And O, how lovely light and fragrance Mingle in the life within! O, how fondly do they nestle Round the soul that knows no sin. RUTH LAVOY, ,27. Well-well done! X'VOlldCI'S never cease! Our class has been called upon to write their autobiographies-a tremendous work, indeed. As this is my first at- tempt at writing about myself, I do not think it will be perfect. But, then, consid- ering the subject it cannot help being nearly so. Please do not think that I am conceited, because I am not. I am a tall and robust young man-most people consider me handsome. My attractive personality and winning manners have caused me to be very popular. Being rather reticent and shy, I refrain from all kinds of sports, especially basket- ball. I see no use for me to waste time at these things, but rather spend my leisure moments unraveling some difficulties in trigonometry or digging down into the depths of scientific research. 'fMy life is gentle and the elements so mixed in me that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This is a man.' A good pilot is not known when the sea is calm andthe weather fair. JOSEPH LAUERMAN, '27. Injustice! Injustice! Oh, how numerous are the crimes of injustice com- mitted in this world. The greatest one, I believe, is the outrageous imposition of asking me to write my autobiography in such a limited space. 'Twould take vol- umes to contain the history of my life. However, Nothing is difficult to the willing mind. To begin with, I was born in the rainy month of April in the year IQIO. Mother Earth must have performed some great deed to receive such a reward as I was to her. My stature is short and stuntedg I have light curly hair and an angelic face. I feel certain that should I put on a pair of wings I could fly. My disposition is mild and kindg I am exceptionally br-ight andwittyg as to my oratorical gifts- well, I certainly am able to show Daniel Webster up. It is a good thing Caruso died rather than meet his conqueror during lifetime. Time, paper, pens and ink are limited, so I shall not endeavor to write more. Suffice to say-I am as perfect a lad as a painter could portray or a writer imagine. A man may say too much even on the best of subjects. ARTHUR PLANTE, ,27.
