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. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in the early '70's. Came to the University five years ago from Omaha. A strong Y. M. C. A. Worker, member of the College Settlement Board, and spends his Sundays in the pulpit. Will perform all marriage ceremonies of Seniors who marry within the next two years at half rates. 7. 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

1. Nliller, Louise. She taught in Lincoln before entering the Univer- sity, which she has finished in three years and a halt. Miss Miller reads in the English Lit. department and uses red ink sparingly. She has made a record in German and has literary aspirations, but has never seen her name in print. 2. Smith, R. Earl. Alpha Tau Omega. Reached Clinton, Iowa, August 31, 1879. Did the high school on New York Central time. Induced the faculty to let him enter the University on probation. Loves to watch the chem. hood smoke. Medicine is his chosen profession. 3. Seeley, Fay. Born at Palmyra, Neb. Date immaterial and irrele- vant. A cheerful little -body, full of endurance and patience. Her favor- ite maxim is Ucultivate the faculty of shirking scientifically. She aspires to Latin as a profession, but a certain law student has iiled a demurrer. 4. Biggerstaff, Chas. D. It would take a bigger staff than the SENIOR ANNUAL possesses to handle him. He is a bad customer. He slides through everything the easiest way possible, and when he can't slide, he goes on a skate and forgets all about it. Some one should jog his memory and incite his ambition. Perhaps he needs to fall in love. 5. Wise, Cora Elizabeth. ls a native of Buckeye state. At the Uni. she has specialized in German and history and is a model for behavior in the seminar where she answers noisy associates with a nod and smile. ln her master's thesis, she will apply historic method in proving her descent from the Wise Men of the East. 6. Catlin, Warren B. 1881. A typical Nebraska product. Entirely speechless at birth, he has overcome all obstacles by an indomitable will. His massive brow, dignified bearing, studious habits, quiet, unas- suming manner easily marked him for P. B. K. honors. He will reform the people by reforming the press. 7. Leonard, Walter Anderson. Born 1880, Essex, Iowa. Attended Augustora college, Rock Island, lll. His philosophic mind needing more room, he came to Nebraska and matriculated as a Junior. He is a can- didate for the teachers certificate, but will probably study law at the University of Chicago next yea1'. 8. Ellis, lnez. She's one you must look up toj' VVith dimples and brown hair, Tall and very slender. She is a 'fmaiden fair. But she's a maiden, quiet And 'tis very hard to learn Her hopes and aspirations And-her age-affirm. So there's no use in trying Her history to tell, 'Twoulcl only be mere guess-work VVhich you could do as well. 29
