JL XX' ,Z MZ A K - T .. ' l lit l ll ANNA LUTYENS Springfield, Illinois Ulflouv rare Y. i Several weeks after the opening of school in '25 we hecame aware of a new junior. ,lust when she slipped in no one knows. She attracted us in class one day when she clrawled. XYhyl-yes-Sister. I-think-so. They say this drawl of .fXnna's is a hahit formed in her second year or thereahouts, they are not sure thoughfno one ever is certain of anything ahout Ann. She remains rather a mystery. She seems to have let us think we know her without actually doing so. Her calm, non-committal exterior keeps our curiosity whetted. wondering what is within. fXnn's younger relations have given us some startling information. VVe think they must he mistaken ahout gXnn's treatment of a certain cat named XYalter. Can we he- lieve that she got terrihly excited when no one member of the family appeared to eat a favorite salad she had concocted? Does it sound possihle that Ann's permanent dim- ples might disappear? VVell, we heard they did twicefonce when someone called her Annie and another time when she had the photographer touch them out of a picture. There are times when she doesn't seem to he our Ann at all. Then she sits and dreams. This hewildered us until we found out that upon such occasions a topless Ford comes and carries .Xnna off to that wonderful land of the fairies. The tin can is parked outside the gates for nothing mundane can enter Fairyland. She takes in only XYalt. The fairies haven't. as yet, taken class '27 into their confidence, and Ann herself stuhhornly refuses to tell us of the enchanted vales. ' All things alxout A-Xnna seem to nt in with the drawl. She conceals her knowledge of sprites heneath the veil of unperturhed ealnt. This tranquility and stahility have won for us many debates, NYhat a harfling inconsistency! Our dreamer of dreams is a practical dehator! XYe, like .-Xnn, will pretend we aren't euriousg hut we would like to know what il mighty treasure Dame Fortune has in store for her. Thirty

'27 Clara has what one nnght terni a dual personality. Nor when we consider that she is our hoast for excellency in scholarship and artistic ahility does this seein strange: for all geniuses, we have learned, are, at least, a little peculiar. The llara whcnn we ineet alniost daily and whoni we love niost is just plain ordinary folks. the owner uf a child- like spontaniety and vivacity, a swinging stride, nnpowdered lace, and niueh niussed hair. and eloquent through shrugging shoulders and hright, innocent, intelligent-lotwking eyes. Her varied-colored hosiery is the hrightest spot in tflara's cnvironnient, Even were all her slippers ruhher-heeled, we could actually hear the stockings approaching. ller countenance either reflects profound thought or wears a niischievous grin. Should the darker mood repose there. we tread lightly. lest we disturh her think, and incidentally hring down calamities on our heads. XYhen grunts, groans. and a long scratchy strain ot' 'I'he l'risoner's Song emerge front her place in the study hall. and when she is provokingly playful with ex'eryone's property. we know she is in the grin- ning niood. In this role. she has proved invaluable in planning and carrying' to success our school stunts and parties. She particularly hetrayed staunch class spirit. or was it a prophetic' strain? when she wrote up the newspaper account ot the Senior victory in the A. .-X. hasket hall tournament hetore the deciding ganie.
