1. lVlcClay, Harriet. A native of Lincoln. Lived in California, but thought Prof. Fling infallible, so returned to specialize in history. Never had any tilts in the seminar room which were serious enough to cause public discussion. Expects to teach, but does not say how long. His- torical research makes people cautious about admissions. 2. Black, Sherman E. February 12, 1877, in Nodaway county, Mis- souri. Grew up under the pleasant shades of Grape-vine Roost. Grad- uated from Red Oak high school in 1899 and began his strenuous life in the Uni., where his popularity raised him to the presidency of the Junior class of 1902. Will become a disciple of Blackstone. 3. Bengtson, lcla A. Born at Harvard, Neb. Graduated from high school. Taught school two years, then came to the University, where she has passed her time digging at mathematics and German and assist- ing at the Experiment Station Library for recreation. Phi Beta Kappa, of course. Thinks marriage a proper institution. but is not inclined to sacrihce herself. 4. lvliles, Geo. F. Assistant in botany, an apple tree doctorg has a substantial stand-in with the profs., is short Ol, fatherly, good-natured, is devoted to his wife, Mr. Case, and aspires to be a prototype of Sheldon. A lady friend characterized him as the handsornest man in the class, with black eyes with a wondrous, witching charm. 5. Barry, Joe D. Well, Joe, what can you say for yourself? Here you have been wandering about this campus for I don't know how many years, cutting up stiffs and all sorts of capers, making the poor student laugh when he should be looking confidingly into the eyes of his prof or brooding over his sorrows-and now the big, serious, solemncolly world confronts you. Brace up, Joe, and be a man. 6. Hess, Edith. She has black hair and bright eyes, and you might take her for a flirt if you didn't know better. She is always tagging after her big sister or calling the boys names-and other nice things. She was never seen to study, but can talk by the yard. Heaven rest her soul-and tongue. 7. Ritchie, Chas. D. Alpha Theta ChiL A North Bend lad. Bright and affable and ever an optimist. Looks serious much of the time, but that is because he has three courses with Dr. Ross. Pronounces the money course under Taylor a revelation l?J. Will probably become a disciple of Blackstone next year. 8. Beams, Annie. Early life obscure. Came into prominence as a brilliant Latin student in the L. H. S. Graduated in the class of '99. After two years spent in Doane college, she came to the Uni.. where she has specialized in the classics. She is as good as enlisted in the profession of teaching. but whether she will follow that profession very long is an open question. - 17
