Mildred Travelle, k a I am what the novelists call quiet and un- assuming , which means that I don ' t talk more than two-thirds of the time and that I have an amiable disposition — remember how sweet I was in the title role of The Taming of the Shrew ? Add to this the fact that I am an expert in the art of Domestic Economy and a member of Phi Upsilon Omicron, and I am sure I shall require no further in- troduction. Bernard A. Howell No wonder I look careworn and old — I ' ve been running the A. S. U. W. for the last year and it ' s pretty hard work. First of all, I don ' t believe in having any unnecessary holidays. We more serious minded people see the necessity of improving every minute that we are given, but it is very hard to con- vince the student body as a whole of this fact. From what I have experienced, I can now truly sympathize with President Wilson in the troubles he is having.

James L. Laughlin, A T 12 I feel more proud of my athletic record than of anything else I ' ve done s nee I ' ve been in the University. No, they didn ' t make me captain of the team, but one time in the class basketball series I really did make a basket. Also I wen two of the President ' s Honor Books, and Mary — she ' s an awfully nice girl, you know. She likes to hear me play the cornet and she says I look fine in my band uniform. Ethel E. Pfeiffer, a a a My college career has been a busy cne indeed. For four long years I have been a pillar of the Y. W. C. A., and I am sure the Home Economics Department will go far to find a student who is as efficient and cap- able as I. Last year a: the only girl on the A. S. U. W. Committee and as Secretary of the same, I proved the saying, The pen is stronger than the swerd , for I let the men do the talking and then wrote down what suited me best. Most people don ' t know it, but I ' m quite a musician, and my favorite scng is, Blest Be the Tie that Binds .

Grace F. Larsen, n B 3 I ' ve just been talking to Herpie about this, and he told me to be sure and not mention his name. So I won ' t, but it ' s hard not to talk about a person when you think of him all the time. Besides being very musical (I sing in the Glee Club), I ' m usually considered quite religious, and I served one year on the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Of course, when occasion demands it, I can be frivolous just like the rest. You know they say one mu:tn ' t be- lieve all that one is told, but Herp — er — lo ' .s of people said I was fine as Portia in The Merchant of Venice . Margaret H. Bellis, Quill Club Do you ask me why the President gave me one of his honor books? Because of my liter- ary ability, of course. You know, I ' m an inti- mate friend of Bacon, Carlisle, Shakespeare, in fact, all the leading men of letters, and I hope my name will go down in history as one of the few literary geniuses of the twen- tieth century. At present, I am contemplat- ing writing a psychological treatise entitled, Hew to Train a Husband to Lead a Band .
