Cteaffg, . 'I 9' . , ? L , , I -uswzf. sn iff' aB- QQ My appearance in this unappreciative world took place when The gentian's bluest fringes Are curling in the sung In dusty pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has' spun. and forsooth, Dame Nature, whilst tinting the various leaves with beautiful colors, let her brush glide over me-and thus I stand with beautiful auburn hair, hanging down in graceful curls upon my back. Accomplished and possessed of brilliant talents, after having sipped long and deep at the fountain of knowledge, I look forward to a pleasant future. Shorthand, with its mysteries, has always had great attractions for me, and I believe that it will be the stepping-stone to success for me. Add to this my marked ability in vocal music, my good will and geniality, and I have before me a splendid career. Q Everything that we learn is a mastery of ditliculties 5 and the mastery of g ourselves helps to the mastery of others? CARROLL RUSSELL, ,27. My arrival in this world caused rejoicing, because I was created for God's glory. I am five-feet-tive, have dark brown curly hair and large brown eyes. The secret of my million-dollar smile is the fact that I am always happy. I believe that life has many roses and that we may enjoy their sweet perfume without look- ing for the thorns. Getting on in life, you know, is like getting through the sub- way-you must hold your ground and push hard. Although I believe in charm striking the sight, yet still more do I believe in merit winning the soul. My motto was, is and always will be, A laugh is worth a thousand groans in any market. If I were a saint I should be more afraid of Hattery than anything else, but since I am not one I risk this description of myself. Bon adieu! ETH EL BUTLER, ,27. God sent the birds and sunshine To gladden all the worldg He sent the foliage and flowers In radiance unfurledg He sent the summer stars and rnoon The pearly dewdrops sweet, And then he sent this maiden here To make it all complete. Thus did I come into this world, October, IQOQ, bringing sunshine into a pret- ty vine-covered cottage in the country. Country life, with its sweet delights, made childhood days a sweet remembrance. With due honors I passed from the little red schoolhouse to Lourdes High in Marinette. I have been told that I have a sunny disposition and a charming way of mak- ing friends and that a sweet face betokens a sweet, amiable temper. This may be true, but I am what I am. As to my appearance, I am a brunette, brown hair and eyes, fair complexion that needs no cosmetics to enhance it. I am of medium stature, and am the happy possessor of the golden, never-wear-off smile. I-Iere's hoping that this little de- scription may meet with your approval. EVA IJESJARLAISA. ,27.

I . Vtzgffqs f The writing of this description of myself and my activities was the hardest task I ever attempted g but then I never shirk a duty because it is hard. I gladdened this earth with my coming in the month of roses, june, IQIO. I have lustrous brown, Mary Pickford curls, two adorable dimples, and eyes like two large violets. I am the personification of pep and fun and always believe in minding my own business. I lead in all my studies and I know there is a valuable position as bookkeeper awaiting me. My motto is: Pluck and not Luck wins success. INIARION LIPTACK, ,27. I made my first appearance in this vast domain on a bright and clear morning in july. I must have come like a benediction. God blessed me with sky-blue eyes, light auburn hair, and a fair complexion. I am a genial, good-natured young lady, displaying talents in abundance and maintaining a praiseworthy record throughout my school career. They say I am a shark in typewritingg I suppose, because I'm continually winning awards in this art. My motto, Good order is the fundation of all good things, is but a reflection of my character. I pass for what I am worth. V ery idle is all curiosity concerning other people's estimate of myself. VVhat greater monument can I leave behind me than a good life, a sterling charac- ter, a cheerful disposition? Briefly, in Cicero's words: True glory takes roots and even spreads. CATHERINE CROXVLEY, ,27. This assignment of writing an autobiography is not at all to my liking, since I am of a reticent and bashful disposition. But what can't be cured, must be en- dured, can be applied in my case. I am a tall, slender maiden with golden locks and bright blue eyesg my complexion-well-well-it's of a very delicate hue 5 I'd rather dispense with speaking about its charms. As for faults, I have not manyg I've a jolly word for every one, thus I have become a cherished flower in the gar- den of our class. I am a lover of music-not jazz-no! I despise it! I love the studies that do not require much thinking, because I may not exert my brain power too much. To sum up all my personal attractions, I am as lovely as a flower. Take it or leave it. A person finds no sweeter voice in the world than that which chants his praises. LUCILLE WEILER, i27. Down in a green and shady bed A modest violet grew: Its stalk was bent, it hung its heads, As if to hide from view. And yet it was a lovely Bower, Its colors bright and fair! It might have graced a rosy bower, Instead of hiding there. Thus briefly the autobiography of a modest little maiden, five-foot-six in stature, weight only I3O pounds g brown hair and brown eyes--as for her complex- ion-well-if freckles were dollars, she'd be worth millions-such a generous sprinkling of them. In her quest for knowledge this timid little violet has, never- theless, been eminently successful. Efiicient in every study, especially shorthand and commercial law, she will 'ere long become a prominent court reporter. A humble little violet- MARGARET O,CONNELL, ,27. ' -es.

WEE . ev g, -xg-, ,, .1 vb ,s3B. 4 yy It was in the most beautiful month in the year, the month that poets love to choose for their theme, like Lowell, and what is so rare as a day in June -that I opened my large brown eyes for the first time to look with wonder on this lovely world. The flower and stone for this month, the rose, symbol of true love, and the pearl, symbol of purity-are most appropriately my favorites. Now take notice: I cannot give an accurate description of myself, for I have never studied myself fexcept in the mirrorj, but I've been told as follows: , I am rather short and have brown hair which, when I curl, is wavy. I 'll say nothing about my nose, it's of the standard size, O.K. My mouth is rather small, but it never prevents me from saying all I desire to. My arms and feet are in proportion. I enjoy dancing and sports of all kinds. There is one characteristic which has won me popularity, and that is, my ever-present spirit of optimism. Pessimism is as foreign to my nature as ice cream to an Esquimaux. I love to take things easy-I do not like to be rushed, because haste makes waste. My tem- per is somewhat hasty, but easy to control. Like all French, I love beautiful clothes and jewelry. VV ell, I had better sign off as somebody else wants the line- that's the way with me. VVhen I can't say any more, I DON'T. DORIS ALIARD, ,27. N ever judge a man's past by what he tells you about it. I'm writing this sketch in the sweat of my brow, not like the girls, who view themselves in a mirror, then sit down and write pages of fairy-tale lore about their imagined beauty and accomplishments, etc., etc. But, since it doesn't pay to take a back seat, I'll just make a modest attempt in the art of story-telling. I'm an aifable, good-natured young man, endowed with excellent talents-hm! hm! I ac- complished my class work and high standing by zealous study and diligent applica- tion-hm! My jolly disposition has won me many friends. I am quite popular down in the gym as any member of the team can tell you. In fact, I consider myself a good, all-around man, business manager most efficient, a knight of the XX. Century and-I think it is time to place the period-or I might arouse the envy of my fellow-students. LAYVRENCE CAMPS, ,27. I was born in February, the month of so many great men, and, therefore, I suppose I am destined for great fame and celebrity. Here is a snapshot of my ap- pearance and condition of general ability: I am a frail, delicate little creature, weighing only about eighty pounds, with raven black hair and brown eyes, I am always reticent and shy, ever conscious of the golden rule of childhood little chil- dren should be seen but not heard. I get up at 5 :3o and take the daily dozen ac- cording to the family physician's prescription. Despite my delicate frame I excel in every study at school and am an artist born in music and otherwise. I won a medal for saving nine lives fmy pet cat nearly drownedj. It would take pages to enumerate all the wonderful qualities I possess, therefore, I'll just make my bow with this bit of philosophy: e There are many rare abilities in the world that fortune never brings to light.
