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.

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.

V ' - 'rail' 93 W ','T 'xr' V V1 B7 - 2,41 Since history is a part of the inevitable sequel of every eventful life I suppose I must bow to the inevitable and make known to posterity my disposition and abil- ities which would otherwise lie hidden as Gray, in his immortal elegy, so iitly says: Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is' born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. I am a tall, graceful maiden, with dark hair and eyes, a creamy complexion, quick and energetic action, thus making me a general favorite, If anyone has any doubt as regards this statement, just come and see me and your doubts will ily be- fore my charms. My school record has been one continuous success, honors piling up high until-I woke up and found it was a dream! BEATRICE LAFLEUR, ,27. 7 Not everyone is born to shine, yet I am considered one of the shining lights of the class, so much so that I have often heard would that there were more like him 5 you see, I have a charmed life-not charming, don't confuse the terms. As to my personal attractions tif I am not mistaken, I think that is the way to begin, isn't it?j I have sparkling blue eyes and blonde hair, am short of stature and not meant for hard work in this hard work-a-day world. I just LOVE school work, but I believe in a little rest now and then is relished by the best of men -and I do my resting frequently, so as not to wear out the wonderful human mechanism before time. There's one thing I have never really appreciated and that is-an alarm clock, and even a musical one, in the early morning. They say, if time is money, you can't accuse a lazy man of being stingyf' V FRANCIS REINHART, ,27. Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what are you? I advise you to cease wondering, for that little twinkling star was no other but myself, little Georgie, and I have been shining ever since, in season and out of season, in school and out of school, why even on the athletic field, though I am only four feet in height, ditto in width. But not in sports do I twinkle most, but in poring over business lore, shorthand hieroglyphics, and deep mathematical prob- lems. Don't be surprised to hear my name mentioned as the Star Champion of the World's greatest activities-I was destined to shine, you see. The desire of glory is the torch of my mindf' GEORGE CLUMB, '27.
