She is one of the best stu- dents in our class and the most conscientious: but. nevertheless, she is always ready for fun. Margaret’s intentions as to her future are very definite ones, such as attending Goucher College, leaching English until pensioned, then buying a chicken ranch and settling down to the comfortable life of a maiden lady. We wish her all success in her first enterprise, but. as for the last—well, secretly we think that she would make a dandy housewife. Russell Cardwell Industrial Scientific A little mischief now and then Will do no harm to the best of men Rusty is the “ruler of the iron shop. He keeps so busy down there that he hasn't much time to enjoy some of the fun the rest of us do. Still he enjoys his work and will do great things we know. He keeps the place lively with his witty comments. He says now he has no plan for the future, but we ll hear of him as the iron “king” some day. Simeon B. Cheyney Commercial Speech is silver, but silence is golden. Simeon is one of those little fellows that go about their work quietly. He tackled a great big course, but has com- pleted it successfully. Simeon's favorite lesson is typewriting. Like the rest of us he has his noisy days. Simeon expects to enter business, after his graduation.
