ARTHUR V. JOHANSON, A. 13., Wheaten, Minn. Intellectually Arthur is the unworthy son of Bernard Shaw and the Modern Scientific Spirit. A theoretical convert to the philosophy of pessimism, but knowing it to be impracticable, he neither advoI cates nor lives it. He knows that man and society are growing stronger and more beautiful and he believes in the salvation of man through love, labor, and education. His future is as uncertain as his past, neither of which worry him in the least. He says we should enjoy to the utmost the only life of which we have any evi- dence. WANDA WIEDERHOFF DAVIS, A. B., Valparaiso, Ind. Wanda Davis quietly passed through four years of college life bearing all the characteristics of a refined, college-bred woman. As a student, she has won the admiration of her classmates by her clear- ness of thinking, her ability to master as subject, and her broad-mindedness. She is sincere, sympathetic, and possessed of a sweet and lovable disposition. Cupid has not permitted her to escape his arrows. EARL A. CAMPBELL, A. 13., Pulaski, Iowa Ah, here he is! Campbell, as he is known to all, hails from Missouri, where he received the greater part of his educa- tion. Always wishing for better things, he came to Valparaiso to finish his work. Through all his school life he has been prominent in athletics, winning fame in track, baseball, and football. His con- genial society makes his company most acceptable and wins for him many friends.

She is instructor in Latin, and has pur- sued her educational course ever with a noble end in view. She is active in re- ligious work, in which her Zeal and her service have marked her for a leader. JAMES A. VICKERS, A. 13., Big Creek, W. Va. Someone has said, uGenius is ninety- nine per cent perspiration. James be- lieves it, and while he does not call him- self a genius, his fellow-students call him a good workman. Only the Eternal can tell which is more Valuable to his race, ' the many-talented, well-rounded man who fills his place well and merges individual ambitions into the interest of the group, or the one with the supreme over- mastering talent, called genius. LAURA McCOACH, A. 13., Buffalo, N. Y. Class Poet Laura is a pedagogue by profession. She has attained an enviable standing in her educational sphere. She is studious by nature and aspires to get the most out of her education. She is especially inter- ested in Spanish, and takes particular de- light in the company of Spanish instruc- tors. Laura will go back to the school- room equipped to secure a surer grip on the child-mind. k:

Godfrey, a man experienced in the affairs of civic life, came to Valpo a few years back to supplement his knowl- edge of law with a knowledge of psycho- logical and philosophical ideals.
