The vice president, Arnet Cole, was born in the year 1893. Arnet is blessed with a charming personality and ready wit, which, when occasion offers, he dis¬ plays with great ability. “Genius marks the lofty brow o’er which his curls pro¬ fusely fall.” The member of their band who cares for the finances, Floyd Knapp, was born in Algansee. Although burdened with tasks innumerable, Floyd is never heard to complain, but meets the situation with a slow and dignified smile. “Already yet Dutch can he speak, as naturally as pigs can squeak.” The class secretary, Arlene Campbell, has always been a very studious pupil; she diligently plods the pathway to fame, but when she plays basket ball she doesn’t plod—she flies. “She is so very studious and strictly mindeth every rule.” Clifford Ford, like all the rest, is not without a fault. He does like to laugh, (especially in Literature class.) “There he is again deep in his books.” But it’s not Geometry, only the Youth’s Companion. Clarence Amsden appears as a lover of the beautiful. Ask Clarence what his favorite flower is and I am sure he will say “Pansy.” Clarence thinks “a conver¬ sation across the table with a pretty girl is better than ten years of books.” Grace Marshall fervently endeavors to do each task as it should be done. No¬ thing short of perfection pleases Grace. “The grace which makes every other Grace amiable.” I am quite safe, I think, in saying that we all know Glenn Loomis. Doubtless Glenn will make you a call introducing his latest novelty with “a face with glad¬ ness overspread.” But in his case, the gladness overspreads his head. “It is never wise to come too close to the thing you desire to see.“ Dewitt Kanouse believes this to be true, and also, that “little attention never gives large results.” As Dewitt always practices what he preaches, he takes his time and looks for large results. However, he can wash windows to the Queen’s taste. Ivan Walbridge is of a very practical turn of mind. His chief delight is in the study of science. He meets every problem (especially crabs) in its own atmos¬ phere and deals with it in its own special illumination. Ivan is also a great favorite with the ladies. Oh, Ivan, look out, for “It is a terrible thing to be a lion among the ladies.” Waive Dobson is a very determined little girl. “If she will, she will, you may depend on ' t. If she won‘t, she won ' t, so there ' s an end on ' t. She ' s very fond of quoting Burns and always excuses boy ' s misdemeanors with “For a ' that, and a ' that, a man ' s a man for a ' that. Something seems to weigh heavily on Vera Logan ' s mind. As Vera spends so much time in seeking opinions, we have decided that the question Vera is trying to settle is whether congress has been trying to do its duty by the country or to do the country by its duty. Her motto is “I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard. Books and schools will take you far, but practical experience at the bottom of the ladder must give you by far the most important knowledge. Claude Conrad be¬ lieves the preceding statement is true. Claude thinks “Go slow, but get there. Klfreda Cleveland ' s attitude suggests, “men may come and men may go, but I go on forever. And yet, just the other day she was delving in a cook book seek¬ ing a receipt for making bread, which causes us to wonder.

The most original member of the class is Willie Sebring. He regards with scientific attention any object he encounters, either investigating botanically the flowers and shrubs that border his pathway or rapping with a geologist’s hammer the rocks among which those flowers nestle and blossom. He even tries to read the history of the globe from the mountains, and with all the rest, “His pencil was striking, resistless and grand.” Thus endeth the uneventful history of their class, but we find that the early life of many a man, famous in his later years, has been void of anything unusual. So we know this fact places no limit to the achievemens of the various members of the Juniors in the future. ASSEMBLY ROOM . . . Farewell Address . . .
