GEORGE PELEG DIXON, 2d There are few classes indeed who are favored with such a fellow as George for their President. For not only is he popular with his own class, but he is known and liked by nearly every one in school. He has been twice elected President of '08 and this year is also President of the Dramatic Club. Hc is something of an athlete, playing on S. H. S. Basket-Ball team this year. His fine work in Dramatic Club plays and minstrcl shows has not been surpassed, and for his untiring zeal in mak- ing these things successes he deserves no little praise. ln his contemplated course in 'fTech '08 unites in wishing him the greatest success. A good fellow is a costly name. XVALTER JAMES DOLAN otherwise known as Davy or Brother'l is one of the jolly boys of the class. He always has a smile and a good word for all his friends. NValter likes baseball very much and is fond of sending fancy post-cards. W'alter might have helped us out on class games but he did not have the right party to coax him. He hath a lean and hungry look. LANVRENCE DOLAN Larry was one of that famous '08 Senior Banquet Com- mittee and was chairman of our committee on decorations at the oval this year. Pretty generally known among the fellows and although his acquaintance is more limited among the girls, he is by no means afraid of a petticoat. Of a rather excitable nature he is a true friend, and one who always sees the humor- ous side of things. Do others or they'll do you. LEXVIS ARTHUR DOMINIS i Always happy is Lewis Never known to take anybody or anything except as a joke: he is everybodys friend. Que of the NV. H. S. orchestra, it is he who makes the noise, for the drum is his instrument. A student now and then, but not often enough to get many A's. Baton twirler, artist, etc., .his accom- plishments are too numerous to mention. Probably he will rc- turn to South next year. 'Whose every look and gesture was a joke. 45

She is a constant annoyance to her neighbors in this respect and they wish to give her advice. neither a borrower nor a lender be. None can compare to Anna in physics and chemistry. She knows the text books from beginning to end and she can even catch Mr. Andrews once in a while. She is a lover of tranquil solitude and never goes into society except that which is wise and good. Books. not frivolity, are in her line of doings. 'AA good little soul. 44
