1. Craig, Clara. Born at Craig, Neb.. about 1880. A sweet, modest, retiring girl, with blue eyes and fair hair. Ability would not hinder her from being a school teacher--but she will not be. O. there is a mystery about this fair and lovely creature with her sweet and gracious smile. She hath much Wisdom and much power. 2. Shock, William A. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Came here from Falls City-a Shock -but during his stay at the University he has become very much Meeker, for now he is exceedingly modest and unassum- ing. He has worked two years on the Nebraskan doing athletics in society. He has also 'attained some accomplishment as a pianist, and ,goes back to live an independent life on the farm. 3. Ensign, Alice Baird. Came to Nebraska at the age of two years from York state. When quite young she entered the State University, where she has never been able to llunk. As a solace for this lack of a fully rounded education a P. B. K. rests upon her serene brow. But -domestic science has claimed a share of her devoted attention. . 4. Richard, Frank Nl. Hails from Bloomington, Neb., whence he came to graduate from the U. of N. Frank is a hustler, and when he under- takes anything it usually goes through. He has been very active in politics, having been identified with the Hayward Republican club since its organization. He aspires to be a pedagogue, however, and no doubt success will crown his efforts. . 5. Rice, Marguerite. Native of Central City, Neb. Entered the Uni- versity to excel in Eng. Lit. and the classics. Devoted to Latin, and pronounces European history a snap. Declares that she is preparing to teach, and denies ever taking domestic science. 6. Anderson, Samuel.

Ames, Adeline. Phi Beta Kappa. Is a Nebraska product, has spe- cialized in botany, with chemistry and Zoology for recreation. Used an auto to get a P. B. K.. Never talks in the classical library, but is not silent in the laboratories, where boys are in a decided majority. Expects to botanize in the Philippines, and of course there must be reasons for such aims. 8. Farney, James Rogy. Delta Tau Delta, Viking. Lives at Aurora, but isn't to blame. Some think he is from Omaha, but not so. A suc- cess as a military man, being at present Senior captain. He has had charge of two Oflicers' hops and is chairman of the Senior Prom, which speaks well for his good looks. ' 27
