THE OPTIMIST Mabus, Ella, 69 Astor Street Normal “To bo slow in speech is a woman's virtue.” Ella’s quietness and reserve keep us from writing more about her.

Margerum is of a retiring nature, but we feel that in his friendship there is much to enjoy. Mann, Martha, 101 Monmouth Street Normal Talking comes by Mature, silence by wisdom. Martha is another one of the members of the Society of “Quiet Friends.” But she’s happy, which fits her for the Optimist.

Miller, Helen, 35 Cottage Street “ ’Tis my talent to conceal my thoughts” Basketball, T7. Helen’s quotation applies only when she is not asked. However, we know that many-a-time she has saved one from getting a zero by giving a helping hand. Minkowitz. Ada. 88 Charleton Street “Always striving for other s good.” Ada does her classwork well and allows her action to bespeak her character.

Klappholz, Ruth, 36 Tracy Avenue Undecided Her pure and eloquent blood spoke in her cheeks.” Ruth is one of those girls about whom there is much to be said on both sides. She’s quiet and yet she isn’t. Koehler, Lydia, 30 Johnson Avenue Eyes too expressive to be blue; too lovely to be gray.” To quote an unknown author: “It seems looking in her eyes one would think that God must have placed her soul right there.” And judging by the eyes it must be a pretty fine soul. Kohn, Herbert, 29 Hillside Place 'For then he felt himself and found the blessedness of being small.” Herby is our “cutest little fellow,” but he loves the ladies just the same. He is, however, a hard worker. Kuebler, Emilie, 177 Milford Avenue “Gently to hear, kindly to judge.” Miss Kuebler is one of our extraordinary specials.
