E. E. HANSON. Strong in will, earnest in ezzdeazzorf' Mr. Hanson possesses the enviable qualities of being witty and versatile. Witli his quick brain and ready information he is a veritable gatling gun to cope with in a discussion. His great ability and unbounded interest have brought him to the front in many of the student organizations. Our VIKING is very much indebted to him for conscientious work as adver- tising manager. His election as baseball manager is merely another proof of the students' confidence in him. In the band he is also a prominent member, manipulating the baritone-saxo- phone with great skill. Nor has he neglected his society work, being one of the charter members of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. EMU. M. HAUGE. 'Ulifiiclz wisdom ofteri goes with few words. Emil is our editor of the department on organizations at St. Olaf. He is of a quiet nature and somewhat reserved. But when once one becomes acquainted with him, he has no cause of regret for doing so. As a clarinetist Emil is there with the goods, being a prominent man in his section. During the baseball season he may be seen doing the slab work for his class, and many are the victims of this KHOQ southpawf' Al- though he has had many 'fpressing engagements, yet he has always had time to do full justice to his class work and besides to attend faithfully to the duties of the various organizations of which he is a member. HERSLEB ARUP HELSEBI. The sweetest hours that e'c1' I spend, are spent among the ' losses. Helsem is a well-known member of the Junior Class. Those who know him most intimately hnd him to be a hearty and entertaining friend. Helsem believes in a well-rounded education. Hence his attention is divided in different lines. The classic lore seems to have most charms for him, and Greek appears to have special attractions. He is a member of the band, in which organization he plays the trombone. Arup is also an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of athletics, and no intercollegiate game fails to see him at his place. He is a member of the Gamma Delta Literary Society.

S. O. FLOM. 'fPVhat a mah can do is his greatest 0l'1ZUll'Z6'lLf.U ' HS. O. is not without embellishments. Three years was all the time he needed for mastering the High School work. Greek, Calculus, and Natural Philosophy have also been forced to give up their contents to his keen and logical mind. But this farmer's son is not found in the class room only. He is also an active member in the Alpha Kappa, Choral Union, and Luther League and is this year treasurer of the Athletic Union. A Wonderful capacity for hard work and a good taste for everything that is noble are his possessions. A. L. GAARDER. Nat-ure is 11'lCl1L,5 teacher. She unfolds her tr'easu1'c's to his search, uzzseals his eye, illumizzes his 7l'11.I1d, and purifics his heart. Gaarder, as above quotation indicates, is a lover of nature. His most joyous hours have been spent in the woods and among the bluffs of southern Wiscoiisiii. Skees and rifles are among his best friends and he holds the enviable record OI having four deer scalps to his credit. He is an all-around athlete, taking part not only in baseball, but also in track Work and tennis. These well rounded athletic abilities peculiarly adapt him for his position as athletic editor of the VIICING. He joined the Alpha Beta Chi literary society in his Fresh- man year and has proven himself strong in that line of work, Although a lover of literature he has devoted his entire time to the mastering of sciences, chemistry being especially attrac- tive to him. w 1 I OLAF GUNDERSON On their own merits modest 77lU1'L are du11zI7. Gundy hails from Porter, Minn. His chief characteris- tic is modesty. His ability as a hall player was discovered dur- ing his hrst year, when he was taken from the third team and placed in the ranks of the first. This position he has held with credit ever since. Some of the hardest struggles St. Olaf has seen in baseball have had Gundy in the box and by cool- headedness and skill many victories have been placed to his credit, and to the credit of St. Olaf. The fact that he has been captain of the baseball team for three years, has in no way affected his class work, to which his records bear Witness. He is an active member of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. Last but by no means least, must be mentioned his ability as a violinist. '

OLE Hovms. The secret of success is 'intense application. Hovde is one of our old academy stand-bys. His native country, Norway, being too small to hold him, he crossed the sea ond joined our ranks in the third class, and through deter- mination and earnest application he has Worked his Way up- ward until at present We find him a Junior. Modest and re- served, his acquaintance is not easily formed, but if he has once taken a liking to you he will stand by you. Hovde is an able and painstaking student. Languages are his favorite studies, and among these Greek has precedence. He is a debater of considerable ability and like Bismarck he is imbued with THEODORA IDTSE. She is a regular 'kawfwlecige box, Au oracle for great and small. Dora is a graduate of the Ada High School. She climbed Manitou Heights for the first time in the fall of 1905, and joined the ranks of the class of ,OQ who were glad to welcome her into their midst. She is a conscientious student and thor- oughly loves to work, and she eventually succeeds in every- thing she undertakes to do. She has an excellent literary taste and loves to read. Her amiable disposition, which is one of her strong points, wins for her many friends. She is an active member of the Phi Kappa Phi Literary Society. an iron will that is not easily thwarted. l M.. H. C. M. IAHREN. Nothing is so strong as gentlenessf' Here we have, perhaps, the most good-natured gentleman in the Junior class. Mr. Iahren, a graduate from the Con- cordia academy of Moorhead, Minn., came to St. Olaf in the fall of 1905 and joined the class of 1909. Although the classics occupy most of his time he takes considerable interest in the sciences. He is a thorough and conscientious student, and a staunch supporter of college enterprises. Though he is a Hrrn believer in the proverb, silence is golden, he has won many friends and the love and esteem of his whole class, in token of which he Was entrusted with the editing of our music de- partment.
