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.

Since his Freshman year, whenever an interesting program was desired. Sam was called upon to preside at the piano. He was not content to play compositions of others, but entranced his audience by playing many compositions of his own. He is not only accomplished at music, but. in the Latin or French classes, when ever a difficult passage is reached, we turn to Sam” who translates this for us in a manner that shows us the beauty of the languages. Sam is continuing his career in music and we know that in a few years he will show to the world what we now know he is capable of.

We have been unfortunate indeed in having James with us for only two years. Everyone is his friend, and one and all wish him the best of success at Temple University, where he will take up advanced work next year. Margaret May Boehmler General A heart as soft, a heart as kind. As in the whole world thou can’st find.” History Class Lieutenant. Ill: Music Club. IV; Dramatic Club. IV.

A truer friend can ne'er be found, and. if you ever need consoling, just turn to “Margy. Margy” is undecided about her future.
