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.

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.

EM MA IXIORBRYH N. HSI-ZUIZCU and modesty are the bmi 01'nar1zr'1zz's of w011zen. HE Junior class feel grateful to Concordia College for contributing this member to their number. She has established an enviable reputation as a diligent student and a helpful and considerate friend. The Norwegian liter' ature has a special attraction for her and she seems to be perfectly charmed by the huldre, alfer and Hnissesagnfl Her acquaintance is not easily made due to the fact that she is quiet and reserved, Yet it would be Worth your while to learn to know her more inti- mately, for she possesses a rich supply of hu- mor which is able to dispel the darkest gloom. Add to these qualities a great love of home, sympathy, and unselfishness, and you have her most prominent characteristics. PETER NELSON. He who tlnfziks for lz1'11zsr'If is a free 111,rm. ETER is naturally shy of the fair sex, and even among.the boys he is not so well known as he ought to be, considering his good and sturdy qualities, To all who know him he is one of the most faithful of friends, cheerful by nature, of humble disposition and honest through and through. History has been his favorite study with the single excep- tion of Livyg and it is said that he reads the HC0I7Zll'l071Cl',H In debate he is enthusi- astic and strongly convincing. From the glare of his eye there is no escape. But above all things. Peter- is-originalg he never lacks his own way of saying and doing things.
