EMU, F. LEE. It is in teaming music that many yottthful hearts learn to love. HIS is one of the old standbys from early Academy days. Goo-Goo they used to call hirn then. Although he has always taken great interest in student enterprises of all kinds and has been steady and persistent in class work, still it is in music that his heart has been. ln early days he' got a hold of an old alto horn and at once showed that there was music in him. Interest and constant ap- plication have made him the present French horn soloist of the band, Mr. Lee possesses knowledge of theoretical music considerable and on this account is considered. a valuable member of both the Choral Union and the Junior Glee Club. .NIAGNUS LARSON. What I spent, I had. What I kept, I lost. MAGNUS is a typical representative of the sturdy, industrious, and economic west- ern farmer's boys at college. He is tall and of fine physique. His early life on the Dakota farm has made him determined and somewhat self-willed. He is large-brained, calm, and self-composed, and has just enough push and get to gain fair recognition. Magnus never fidgets nor trilles, but labors patiently to ac- complish his purpose. Although a little slow to act, when once in motion he is irresistible. He is a logical and fiery debater and is on the team that meets Gustavus Adolphus this year.

HC-1'LllL1lI'CCZ1 and fine 11za1mc7'.r are eUe1'y-wIze1'e a f1a.rsp01't to regard. X FORTUNE favored the class of '08 when Miss Hopperstad was prevented from entering St. Olaf College before the fall term of 'o4.

I GUNDA MOHN. E Oh what a face was hers to brighten light and give back snnshine with an added glow. HE class of '08 feels justly proud of a a member like Miss Mohn. By her great ability and unusual ambition she has estab- lished a record as a student that can hardly be excelled. Her great capacity for work has not permitted her to limit herself to the rou- tine of the class room merelyg but she has faithfully contributed her part to the different societies and organizations of the school. Fail- ure is unknown to her. No task seems too difficult for her to master. She does not even despair of the preponderous undertaking of translating Virgil into English carefully pre- serving the rhythm. Gunda has an ample sup- ply of good humor and no cloud is so dark that she fails to see its silver lining 6. SIMON O. LUND. One with more sont in his face than words on his tongue. 4 0U,R friend, Simon, is known rather by his silence than by his words. But like many men of his type, he is of a sensitive and considerate nature, and his regard for the feelings of others wins for him a well deserved respect. In conversation he is pleasing, and his tact and good taste make him a pleasant companion. As a friend he is sincere and trustworthy. Like Andrew Jackson Si is endowed with a strong will and before he will budge you must prove and reprove that he is in the WI'O11g. He takes a live interest in the work of his society. This year he willf-uphold the honor of his Alma Mater in the inter-col- legiate debate.
