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.

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.

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.

HENRY LANGUM. Good humor is one of the bert articles of dress one can 'wear in society. Henry is a graduate of our own academy. As a scientific student he is especially interested in biology. He has' even been' known to take his dissecting outfit with him to a class picnic and there with a congenial companion to dissect and study frogs and clams. As a vocalist he holds his own in the tenor section, both of the class octet and of the church choir. Hank is a hard worker and has often burned Lmidnight oil into the wee hours of the morning. His friends know him as a jolly good fellow and his camera perpetuates many pleasant recollections of days spent with him. NORMAN LARSEN. Boer a true man and a true friend. Norman is one of our old stand-bys from the academy. He is of a quiet, unassuming demeanor, but once your friend you will find him ever true and loyal, always ready to' sacri- hce himself to do you a service. By his thorough class work he has won the warm regard of students and teachers. He is an original thinker and you Will find he has an opinion of his own on matters of interest. Besides, he is much interested in athletics and is frequently seen on the diamond. Norman is a living refutation to the proverbial disposition attributed to 1l1ll1lSfC1'iS sons. so oi l l B I LOFTSGAARD. Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of a gentle-man. Loftie is another old timer, entering the academic de- partment in 'O2. His career as a student has been marked by diligent and painstaking work, he having given most of his time to the sciences. At the band concerts he sits in the shade of his little C?j trumpet and leads the bass section. Besides music many of his pencil sketches indicate his talent as an artist. His name alone calls forth in our minds his massive physique and self-possessed demeanor. His unpretentious solid self is a never changing quantity and for a model of powerful repose, B. I. is the man.
