T H E NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL Ara Mitchell, B. A. Fayetteville “You can never hitch your wagon to a star if you keep your eyes lowered on your pony.” A wee bit lassie, very “cute,’ though often accused of the sin of deception. She goes about with her coy smile and neat little curls trying to play “sweet sixteen,” but you can’t fool us. She also has the reputation of be¬ ing a graceful rider: however, there is one peculiar thing about her—she always carries her pony in her pocket. C. R. Rhodes, B. E. E . Osceola Lieutenant. Quarterback “Dusty” has followed the ’09 team to victory three times. He is little but loud. Nell Coleman, L. I., B. A — Little Rock ’Varsity basket ball team, ’07-’09. Sec¬ retary Senior Class, ’08-’09. You can never fail to recognize this dignified little Senior, known as the “Hermit” of the Dorm. It has long been a perplexing question to the matron as to how she will induce her to take enough exercise She seems to take no notice of things about her. The matron has finally decided to place her under a very strong woman who will teach her how to play jokes, especially on the Juniors. Garland Hurt, B. A . Fayetteville Color Sergeant. “Miss Hurt” is an autocratic gentle¬ man who presides over the University Weekly board. He is a leader in so¬ ciety and likes to be among beautiful women, but doesn’t bring his heart when he comes to school. Bessie Carnall, B. A. Ft. Smith Associate Editor Cardinal, ’07-’0S. Class Prophetess, ’08-’09. Of the many promising characters at the ’Varsity this year, Miss Carnall is the most talented. Her voice is some¬ thing to be wondered at. She usually chooses the midnight hour in which to practice her songs, in order that at that quiet time she may be able to distinguish the “mellow tones.” In her zeal she for¬ got the comfort of her neighbors, and it became necessary for her to move to the first floor. She is now dying her hair in preparation for a trip to the Cincinnati Conservatory. Page 27 N I O R S w CD

THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL Page 26 S E N I O R S John P. Woods, B. A. Ycllville Winner of Georgetown Debate, ’08. Joint winner of Oklahoma Debate. “John Peter” is quite small, physic¬ ally. He wears his hair trimmed poet’s length, pretends to teach “A” Latin, is very fond of good clothes and precious jeweis and stones. He is partial to “Rubies.” Ollie Greathouse, B. A. Johnson “The quietest member of the class.” Some say that she is thinking of taking the “Veil,” others that she has had a great disappointment, but those who know her best say she is working out a plan to cheat Prof. Marinoni out of hours. The latest report is the reading course. She says it is a dead snap. We think she should be sentenced to read French every day from now until June. John W. Revel, B. S. C. Augusta Treasurer of Senior Class. “Johnnus” is above all a society man, he is also a little musically inclined. His favorite song is “Mary had a little ‘Johnnus-’ ” etc. Johnnus says the peo¬ ple of the University of Arkansas are too kiddish for him, he is going to the A. M. A. Marie Keeney, B. A. Fayetteville Secretary of the Senior Society, ’08- ’09. “.Study is a dreary thing: I would I knew the remedy.” Marie is simply crazy about wit in quotations. It is real interesting to see her slipping the “Life” and memorizing jokes. She is also frequently found solv¬ ing the riddles in the almanacs. She sometimes springs them in class, thinking by this means to make a hit with the Profs. Another of Marie’s hobbies is the discussion of marriage and divorce. William B. Gibson, B. A. Barryville Lieutenant. Bert is the “Old He Raugue Hauseur.” lie is a great man for an argument and is the originator of the famous “Hill Hall Hindoo Hoodoo.” Fie is also the chief manipulator of the saiu machine. He managed to go three months without getting caught by the Senior Committee. Such crafty managements merits especial mention.

THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL Pag e 28 S E N I O R S Alice Reed, B. A . Fayetteville Vice President Freshman Class, ’04- ’05. Artist Cardinal, ’08. “But there is more in me than thou understandest.” Alice’s good humor has won her great love. She smiles so much that she has often been accused of flirting. She is very modest in her aspirations, not car¬ ing for woman’s rights. She is also very domestic in her tastes, and is a firm be¬ liever in the old saying, “The shortest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Dan Blair, B. C. E. Decatur Captain Company A, ’06-’07. Short, sour and sassy, is an ardent lov¬ er of “Preps.” Can be seen fondling them at all times. Bess Trent, B. A . Fayetteville Prophetess class, ’07-’08. Bess is Myrtle Miller’s chum; they stick to each other like a sick kitten to a hot brick. You never see one wit hout the other. They are very much alike. R. C. Gibson, B. A. Berryville Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant. Gibson is a human question box. He can discuss any question relating to English, Economics, History, Latin or most anything else. His ideas are al¬ ways guaranteed to be original. He is short and square, and wears a smile which is adjustable for the use of either old or young ladies. He doesn’t mind talkin ' to strangers. Myrtle Miller, B. A . Fayetteville Historian of class, ’05-’06. “I care for nobody, no not I, if no¬ body cares for me.” Myrtle is the other part of the Miller- Trent chumship. They form a dead “crush”—a crush is a conjunction of two persons having a strong affinity for each other, and when they get tangled up in each other’s arms, it is hard to tell which is the mushier, more impres¬ sionable substance.
