Margaret Longshore, n B Home Economics Just to convince you at the beginning that I ' m really quite an important personage on this campus, I ' ll start by saying I ' m President of this illustrious Senior Class. Furthermore, I ' m a member of Phi Upsilon Omicron and of the Girls ' Glee Club, and I served one year on the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. There! I think that ' s quite a satisfactory record, don ' t you? Then, too, if I do say it myself, I ' ve got a mighty good voice — and Alden told me last night he thought so, too. Art G. Burckert, 5 A e Civil Engineering Well, I really haven ' t much time to tell you about myself right now. Margaret ' s go- ing to meet me in five minutes at the Normal Building — and in so short a time I couldn ' t begin to give you an adequate account of my college career. However, I won two of Prexy ' s honor books in 1918, one in mathe- matics and one in engineering; I was on the 1919 Annual Staff; and at the present writ- ing I am Vice President of the Senior Class, and a member of Quill Club, the Band, the Orchestra, and Interfraternity Council. Mar- garet thinks I ' m the most important student in the University and — I say it with all mod- esty — I quite agree with her.
