EUGENE HAYVVARD PONVERS. 'Gene is rather a quiet fellow, generally. He is not easy to get well acquainted with at first sight, but when once known he wears. He is very strong in his likes and dislikes, but is true blue to those whom he counts as his friends. Is something of a shark in lessons: though not enough so to be tiresome. For the first two years of his sojourn here he made few. attempts to get popular among the girls, and so he hardly knew a single one of our fair class-mates texcept Aliceb. But alas: the wind has changed. Jessie and numerous others have made his list a long one. Some say also that he has outside interests in that line: but if so, they don't interfere with those in town. Is :1 strong and faithful committee worker, and it is by his effi- cient help that we have been able to publish this book. Has done good work in Congress and has been President of the same, His intentions are to go to Tech and we all wish him the best of fortune there. I fooled them all, but now I am discovered. GRACE ALICE QUINN who entered our class fifteen years after her birth in our be- loved city, cannot be called the most brilliant, nor by any means is she the dullest member of 1908. She is a girl who appears to be modest and shy, staying in the background and yet doing her work in a conscientious manner. She intends to pursue a course of study at Post's Business College. A Grace beyond the reach of artf' GRACE VVOODBURY REDDING. NVe all love Grace, as Mr. Cook said. Quiet and rather difhdent as a rule. she is extremely good company when among her friends. Is a member of Dramatic Club, whose Viee-Presi- dent she was during Junior year. Chums it with Gertrude tOpposites attract each otherb. Is one of our First honor pupils, being famed far and wide for her brilliant themes which never fail to draw an A even from Mr. Cole. It is her intention to go to Smith, and the best wishes of the class go with her. A friend, a person with whom one may be sincere. MARY ETTA REYNOLDS Mary was born in Spencer and it certainly should be proud of this fact. She has been with us four years, but as she has led a very quiet life, we have little to say about her one way or the other. XfVe all know that she has taken five lessons this year, not because she had to, but because she enjoyed studying. She is to take up her further study at Post's Business College. Modest she seems-not shy. 59 f' K f , 17,7523 2.1. I, ,. .pf T ' ,. f V' 4 '.,' i ' . ' 5 f vi EM, ',f ' 1 jf, . V V, 5. ' 'ftflfmi-2425 i 652 2,2 I 1.2 1 5 gf.f1 , ' .,,' V 'JJ 6'

MARY KATHERl NE RICHARDSON Mary is our shining light, a veritahle heacou in fact. Nearly everyone knows her hy sight, at least. Made a tremendous hit our junior year in the role of an old lady. Always ready to fool, even when Mr. NVm. Cole is reading themes and his threat to announce her theme is hanging over her head. As elass his- torian she has an extraordinary chance to display her power of eomposition and elocution, in which lines she possesses no small talent. This year she and Jenks did grand work in lovers' parts thlary needed very little coaehingl. Her eyes has all its radiant youth ller cheek its morning ll1llllC.n tllair not mentioned hy requestl ICRHA lXlll.lJRlClJ RILICY lveing a close friend of Mary U'Connell, resentlmles her in many ways, 'lihey are always seen together and Imoth have still to learn that rare eharacteristie of being' ahle to keep quiet. 'l'hey are really the most persistent persons ahout, always wanting to say something. 'l'hey expect to enter some husiness college next year and eerlainly should take up some line of husiness in which the gill of tgilliu is reflttirefl.

George-'s specialty is drawing, and he is, in our ex- perienced eyes. an artist Even upon the menu of that never- to-he-forgotten uSenior lianquetu is to he seen a finished master- piece of lns. Moreover, it is to George as Class Artist that We owe the superior work in this hook, My Ala uses VVool Soap. ETH EL ELIZABETH ROACH Of a happy disposition it is hard indeed to find Ethel and not find her smiling. Known by nearly all '08 she has never put. herself forward and has never become famous. Like M1ll1e she is very fond of birds, but her taste runs towards robbins, and apparently her love is returned. Robbins say:-'Cheer up.' 60
