XIILDRED JLTLILS Here is another who is to join the ranks of Freshmen at Jackson. .X year has hardly been time enough to find out all the nice things about hlildred, but we know some of them. She can dance well, work well, play well, and make change at the lunch counter with lightning rapidity. What more would you want? Glee Club. lg Lunch Room Committee. .-XLILL LX ONS uvho would have thought Alice would bobl' her hair? Wie canlt quite hgure out how it happened yet, lor she's such a basiilul little lady. In one short year we havenlt been able to discover just what her forte is. but she surely knows a 'oke when she sees one, and can . . ' . . . furnish wlentv of merrlment lor anyone at anv tune ol day. l . , . . Glec Club. l. NILLSON JONES CPL:'rEvj Here's another Bear for Brown. Jonesie believes that actions speak louder than words, and he is the boy with the action. If he make the same line plunges and Bear-hugll tackles for Brown that he has made for Thayer, he will quickly earn his B and, we hope, a captaincy. We wish to congratulate him on his hue leading of our lindefeated team. Nlty good luck attend you wherever you go, jonesie.

She can tell you just what you want to know, particularly if it's French. liven Nliss Battles has a hard time keeping up to her, once shels well launched in' the middle of a recitation, and about all most of us get is an occasional 'gnlest-cepasf' lNIargaret's idea of a perfect place is Paris. Wie certainly hope she gets there soon, and finds it as much of an Utopia as she anticipates. llockev. 2. lg Basketball. 5. 3. Z. 1: Baseball, 3.

Kay faithfully listened to Rliss Allen when she read to us from How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Dayn but she still finds it quite a problem. Between dances she has found time to study her wav into Rlt. Holyoke. She will be fifty whole miles awayl from bl. B. and therefore has our sympathy. Wie know, however, by her past exploits, that her heart won't break.

ALLENJ Long, lean, lazy. laughing. and loquacious.-as such we present Al. Allen to you. Always good-natured. always ready with an amusing joke, is it any great surprise that Allen is so universally liked? Uft we quail before the Vast knowledge of chemistry he has acquired in one short year. Uft we gaze with admiration as he twirls and performs intricate steps on the dance floor. And oft we grin to think that he. a boy, does talk so muchl Glee Club. 2. l: Dance Committee. 3. 21 Second learn Football. 2: Year Book Staff: French Play. GRACE SEYMOUR tAl11,l.11z, Srziqznmissj We hayenlt been able to discoyer yet whether Klilly will become a second John Singer Sargent or another John Burroughs, but what- eyer she is, she will be a good one. Pep is Graee's middle nameg at least it ought to be if it isn't. Wiatch her sometime in a basketball game, in Latin period, or eyen in the library, and you'll agree she's peppy. Radcliffe may make her a naturalist, but sheill be a mis- chieyous one. Basketball.
