EMILY 1 WEBSTER. Think of her, whom you will find in the Mathematics classroom at almost any hour helping some class, her whose warm heart goes out to every student, her who trains to “accuracy and rapidity —that is Miss Webster. Our interests are her interests at all times. As we know and appreciate her. there come genuine admiration and love for her. LYDON W. BRIGGS. In Mr. Briggs we find a true friend and adviser. To him we turn in our sadder hours for practical, cheering advice, and to him we look in our gayer moods as an indulgent believer in good, wholesome amusements. His wide experience in the teaching profession makes his word of recognized value not only in our school but thruout a large portion of our state. His friendship is therefore valuable while we are in school and doubly so when we are ready to go forth in search of a position. HARRIET E. CLARK. To pursue a forgetful Sophomore who failed to present a declamation; to endure untold suffering while an aspiring Junior stumbles thru A Plea for Cuba.” to help a dignified Senior adapt a weighty lecture to the minds of inferior lower classmen,- these are a few of the things which Miss Clark must do in one day. But in spite of it all her bright face and active manner make the time s|K-nt in her company thoroly delightful. MARY E. APTHORP. | ew of the students not pursuing the Latin course realize what a witty, altogether delightful individual presides at the desk in the Latin room. To those blessed by her instruction the recitation hour—even tho it Ik? in dreaded prose—is one to be looked forward to Minionl the day. Her present regret is that a cat instead of a goddess docs not guard her door. Until the feline can be provided there are a hundred Junior girls ready to protect Miss Apthorp from all hann. HARRIET CECIL MAGEE. An artist who works because the spirit is in her—and she cannot he silent if she would. This earnestness of purpose and spirit of optimism are the distinctive characteristics which make Miss Magee what she is—an uplifting |xnvcr. As her voice directs us to a study and appreciation of nature, so her whole life leads us to a keener and broader insight of the mysteries of life. WALTER C. HEWITT. The W(itty) C(ourageous) II (umorist) of the Faculty, who teaches the classes in School Management. Geometry, Spelling. Mental Arithmetic. Trigonometry. Physical Geography. Algebra, and any other subject that is left, holds first place in the hearts of the students. His unrivaled enthusiasm in either work or play makes a success of anything he undertakes, as is evidenced in the high standard of the rural schools ami his phenomenal golf scores. And, as some one has said: Mr. Hewitt is the lxrst yet; he can’t he heat. JOSEPHINE 11EXDERSON. It is truly marvelous how great the influence upon those who come under the power of this quiet, dignified woman and friend. Who can ever fail to cxjwricncc a fervent desire to he “up ami doing after spending forty minutes in a Rhetoric class under her inspiring: influence? She is a helper that we all appreciate more and more as we grow better acquainted with her. and when we have finished our course in Rhetoric we only wfM that we could take more of our studies under Miss Henderson.

ADOLPHUS II SAGE. Me may be found daily elucidating for curious but interested students some of the intricate laws of the physical universe. When not at this task he may be found experimenting and pondering over puzzling problems in natural philosophy. With the sagacity of insight which we may call genius, he explains the perplexing problems of physics so that the mistiness in the minds of students disappear as by enchantment. HENRY N. GODDARD. Urged on life's way by varied duties, yet. Performing each task with never-tiring zeal. Mysterious molecules, while reflecting a property in his restless manner. Arc the center of his graver thoughts; But in the dainty pumpkin vine and aster of our campus garden His simpler interests lie revealed. For him. we willingly obey all lalto-alory rules: And utKracked jokes, like fumes, wreathe round and round. We save ours.—so docs he; And spring them all at the Chemistry Spree. LILLIAN G. KIMBALL. Miss Kimball is queen of the Professional English domain. It is from her we receive the knowledge of how to teach the eight parts of speech and all that thereon hangs. Greater than this is the model site puts liefore us. Always grave and sweet, she humbles yet encourages us so that we resolve to keep a titT upper lip and to become like her. Her sound common-sense talks lift a discouraged student from the vale of tears and spur him on. FREDERICK R. CLOW. A large, broad mind, enriched by economic laws and principles. The nourishment whereby our tiny brains expand and grow! Ever on deepest thoughts intent, which blossom into noble deeds And find expression in literary work or modern architecture. How delightful the conversation, a product of calm and deep insight. Of this man in whom we recognize so much as unexpressed. ELLEN F. P. PEAKE. We all sing the praise of this patron of literature. Her sympathetic nature wins the hearts of students. In each is awakened a higher ideal. With a thoro knowledge of the subject site teaches and with her encouraging way. she creates a desire to know more about the great writers. B. MACK DRESDEN. Where shall we find a more excellent example of one who combines all the best qualities in his every-day life, than Mr. Dresden. Kind to a marvelous degree, patient beyond comparison and with a judgment that rings with the truth of sincerity, he. by his presence in his chosen profession, raises it to the dignity and poise of one of the greatest of the great professions. HARRY R. FLING. Here is a man who is a worker, and who rightfully expects others to do their share. A lover of facts, he holds others to clear cold facts. With an eye keen to observe the future possibilities in life, he yet holds those whom he instructs to their present conditions and surroundings, lie is a master of facts, a just critic, and a judge of human nature.
