DUANE REBSTOCK, B. S. (in mining) ' KKB Basketball, ’08-’09, ’10-’ll; Manager Basbetball,’09-’I0. Reb came here from the great unknown, placing benchmarks all the way; “a man of excellent parts but carelessly assembled;” of a many-sided nature, he is one of those flowers created to blush unseen A great dabbler in bird seed is Reb. One moment's conversation will suffice reading the comic supplement of the Sunday World, a sheet of ragtime, an art calendar, and ten columns of j crusals. He is a shriner in the queening fraternity, in fact he strikes high into the nobility with the hope of great remuneration in the future. PHOEBE M. BOGAN. B. A. ' PHOEBE ” Did anyone ever hear Phoebe say anything really bad? Did anyone ever see her when her shoes were not shined and her hair just so? There is not a spot on all the campus where Phoebe is not as welcome as the flowers in the spring, tra la. She enjoys field trips, leaping like a cottontail over the brush, gathering to her the minutest little flower, for her vasieulum. If you are ever in doubt as to the highest ideal just call upon Phoebe. Whether it’s Brown or Bates it is all the same to Phoebe. She can philosophize on an arrow’s flight or poetize the life of Friedrich Nietzsche. Her favorite habit is cultivating cultures of young lovers. And in this she is a supreme Matron. JOHN JOSEPH HIGGINS, B. S. (in mining). “jack” X?; Manager Football, ’lO-’M; Dramatics, ’09-’I0;. Jack blew in about the end of the year ’10, having already sampled all the good institutions of learning from Tech ” in the far East 10 U. S. C. in the far West. Jack is the ideal college man, a game sport, a quecner, and is always in for a good time when he’s busy with work. In fact so much college life has he seen that this climate just agrees with his ambition. When Jack arrived in this “wild and fuzzy West” institution his angelic beauty attracted the heart strings of all the femmes And Jack has that rare quality of still being able to buffalo them into this same belief. Nevertheless, he will, in spite of all this, carry away a goat hide inscribed with a B. S. in mining engineering.

LEON HENRI STRONG, B. A. PEE LONG ” Delta Theta Rho (Prep); Delta Phi; Track, '07-’08; Second Lieutenant, ’07-’08; Manager Track, '10- 11; Philomathcon, ’07-’08, ’08-’09; Forum, '09-’10; Philomatheon, ’10-MI; Editor “ Arizona Life,” ’ lO-’ll; President Student Association, 'lO-’ll; President Senior Class, ’ll; Editor-in-Chief The Desert,” MO-’ll; P. S. B., ’03-’II. This tall, strong boy has managed to keep himself fairly busy these eight long years. He has a bunch of convoluted gray under his brown hair that allows him to succeed without much effort. When Pee Long blows into your presence you never know whether it is a terrorist demonstration or a hurricane. He is a quccncr of no mean ability and has been years at it. Too bad such a boy should marry when so young. IVY MAE PURCELL, B. A. “imp” Gamma Delta (Prep); P. S. B. ’03-’ll. It’s some accomplishment to have been able to handle successfully no less than six untamed men, besides being a social whirler. Imp could not make her eyes behave, being the keenest “caser” of all the girls. Hers were most violent when they did take effect, but she can boast of always recovering quickly. This little fluffy ruffles is one whom everybody likes, for she is always in good humor, keeps a “cozy little” corner in her heart, has plenty to say, and is always up and going in her work. FRANK WINFRED ROSE, B. S. (in mining). “sleepy” P. S. B., ’03-’ll; Secretary Senior Class; Secretary Athletic Association, ’07-’08; Secretary Students’ Association, ’08-’09, ’09-’10; Football, ’04-’05. Sleepy hailed from the tall and uncut. He entered the U. of A. away back in the days of the St. Patrick Rebellion. In fact, his earliest history here ante-dates the present faculty (save one). In fact so long has he vegetated hereabout that all the Profs, have agreed to let him through so as to make room for some good men. Many and diverse have been the circumstances which have lured him into the sphere of exalted damsels. One look at this gynecratic victim will convince one of the above statement. Sleepy has not decided yet whether to join the ranks of the propagators of young ideas or to take a P. G. course in economics or history.

Ill W III MILES MILLER CARPENTER, E. M. (B. S., TEXAS A. M., ’02; M. S., U. OF A.,’10) KIDDO ” Della Phi; Editor University Life, ’08-’07; Football, '08-'09, '09-’10, 10- 11; Track, '07-'08; Football Manager, ’09-’!0; Baseball Manager, ’09-’10; President of the Athletic Association, MO-'ll. Kiddo came to the U. of A. in ’07, an ideal Texas farmer—more ideal than farmer. Upon his advent he had a turn of mind, perhaps due to the climatic condition of our dear old Alma Mater, for he, forgetting his high prospects as a farmer began on the great work of becoming a scientist. Result, a B. S. in '10. So fond of the institution was our Kiddo that he prevailed upon the faculty for an K. M. Too old and too modest for a quecticr. JANE HKRBST RIDER, B. S. (Civil Engineering). “ JANE ” Gamma Della (Prep); Gamma Phi Sigma; President Woman’s League, ’09-’10; Social Committee Athletic Association, ’09-’10, '10-'l 1; Wranglers, 'IO-’l 1 University Life, ’08-’09, ’09-’l0; Basketball, '07-'08 :’08-’09,’09-’ 10.’ I O’ 11; Pres.JuniorClass,’ 11. Jane came from the Garden of the Gods to theU. of A. in 1907. Her masculinity makes her one of the jolly good fellows, and she is the life of the class. This little maid as a politician, knows no equal, but ber propensities along this line are honest ones. She has not dealt with the aesthetic side of life, but has taken to everything practical front basketball to civil engineering. '“None of the doll baby life for Little Jane, I'm going to be a civil engineer.” MINER LOUIS HARTMANN, IL S. FOXY’ ’ Basketball, ’10-’ll ; The Forum, '09-'l0; Business Manager The Desert,” ’lO-’ll; Literary Editor Arizona Life,” ’10-M 1. Foxy” came from the land of sunllowers, wore one in his hat, and even had a few seeds in his thin hair; but he denies the charge of Salina being his home town. He is the cutest, busiest, and in fact the smartest little man on the campus. No one can do things as brown as he can- -a business manager from the word go. He attracted all these accomplishments at his famous K. U. Foxy is a spoonoid; the only thing that saves him is that he is a most particular one—they have to be pippins” for Foxy to enthuse. The little tad is too blamed independent,so that he will probably not make a lasting hit at West Cottage.
