22 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS in school. The vote for laziest person went to Stewart Campbell with hardly a rival. Tom Galloway has been voted the person in the ’07 class most likely to succeed. The most interesting and the most worthy answers received were on the question as to the methods to be used in dealing with cribbing. The oneness of the answers leads one to believe that they must have weight in the settlement of this all-important problem. Every answer is based on some phase of the honor system. ‘The plan as outlined by the complete vote is that the A. S. U. I. must take the matter in charge, must establish some sort of honor system, must develop a stu- dent sentiment against cheating, and must then ostracize those offenders who have no sense of honor. ;

CLASSES—SENIORS 21 The Freshman year has been voted the hardest year the seniors had to contend with. They are a class noted for their modesty in some respects. This is especially so in regard to their vocal talents. Only two were willing to acknowledge that they could not sing at all, while but one was willing to say unreservedly that he possessed that ability. Others possess the ability in varying degrees, as the following indicates: ‘‘A little,’’ ‘‘Sometimes,’’ ‘‘N—ot when anyone is near,’’ ‘‘I should say not,’”’ ‘‘Too modest to say,” “Sure, when they'll let me,’’ ‘‘No, Josh does that,’’ ‘‘Yes!!! Yes!! Basso Profundi, immer schon.”’ ‘ The Marble Fawn’’ has been voted the favorite novel of the sen- iors. Others of interest are ‘‘Daring Dave’s Desperate Dash,’’ ‘“Tom Jones’’ (with apologies to T. R.), ‘‘One I wrote myself,’’ ‘‘Miss Son- na,’’ ‘‘The Dread and Dismal Swamp.”’ Before chronicling the following results it will be well to make a statement. The individual members of the facnlty whose names ap- pear here are asked neither to go into ecstacies nor to become despond- ent and commit suicide, for you who have fared well know not how little you may have lacked of faring ill on some other question, and as for you who have fared ill, your bosoms would swell with pride if you were to know how nearly you came to winning out in some more lucky place. Professor Morley has been voted by a great majority to be the most popular professor. The electrical engineers consider Pro- fessor Sheldon to be the best instructor; the miners and B. S. students have bestowed the honor upon Professor Little; the A. B.’s have given the palm to Professor Hulme. Dean Eldridge has been voted at once the most broad-minded man and the hardest worker in the Faculty. The most difficult man to whom to recite is Professor Little, with Professor Peters a close second. Professor Janes and Professor Cogswell for a time ran a neck-to-neck race to decide which was the easiest man to bluff, but Professor Cogswell finally won out. Tommy Matthews has been voted the handsomest man in school; Hazel Morrow the handsomest girl. One person suggests that every- one look in the mirror. In spite of the apparent inconsistency with the above, it has been decided that the homeliest man and homeliest girl are to go together as a bad case—it’s Tommy and Lucy. Others think the U. I. has none; some evidently think they will be considered ser- rious when they answer ‘‘nie.’’ Jim Frazier and Josh Jensen divide honors as the windiest person
