He may be found most any time in the laboratory, and the wirld will probably benefit by his experiments. NELLIE SILLIN. “Life’s too short to waste.” Nellie believes jn having a good time while it lasts, and has done so in her one year with us. She is another of the out-of-town entrants this year. STELLA SWINEHART. “She hath enjoyed herself hugely in her four years.” This jolly and care-free girl does not believe in being burdened with excessive work and care. She does not, however, neglect her studies on this account. ALBERT WIDNER. Class Play. “To sleep I give my powers away.” A1 is in evidence any time except Sunday evening, when he disappears. He is fond of taking a nap in English on Mondays—to the disgust of those around him. 27
