VANCE. EWING. Germantown, Tennen- tee; n; Editar-in-Chief; Western .gleord: Sophomore llunol'a; Tree Day ay. Voted the best student in the class. Min Ewing in not to he lightly com- mentecl upon. She began her career of prodigy-dum almost immediately upon her entrance some twenty-one years ago. into the family of a Tennessee minister- Rumor has it that she was early soothed to sleep by having read to her Para- dile lost. Paruelaus and others of the more advanced nursery rhymes: it it to this early inlhtence we attribute her prqlicicncy in all things literary. Vance i- anolher of our honor students, partly ' by virtue of her phenomenal memory, which. hnwever. she so completely 2:- haunt: upon her work that none of it il left for the petty details of every-day life. But aside fmm her tendency to for- get everything tmm class meeting: to so- cial engagements. Vance is really quite a reliable penon-indeecl, l9l0 boasts no more loyal and capable member. Apt with he:- pen, quick-wittecl. clever. orig- inal. Vance has made heme popular alike in clan and college. From mom till night she plots and plans Some greatness to achieve. HELEN GALT. Sterling. Illinois; Agora; Business Manager Annual: Borachio in Much Ado About Nothing. We have it on good aulhotity that Galt was really a very happy child until she was about four years old. and then the cares of life in a home EulI of brothers anti sisters became so great that mile: have come but with!!! ever since. After graduating from Sterling High School she came to Western and cast in her lot with I910. It has taken most of us four years to know her, but we have found it well worth four years to really know her for the strong. capable girl she is. She has hloaaomed forth amazingly since the bean soliciting ads for the Annual and writing to publishers and engravene-in fact we have even heard that some of her extensive business corrspondence has developed a personal tendency and i: not yet discontinued. She says ahc will teach next year. and if she does. or indeed whatever she clues we have learned she has the qualities to win success.

Jinny's lint remark to her admiring family was I've got to hurry and grow up! l'm going to be jult that buy! Al- though physical limitations hindered her from doing much at once. she early be- came proficient in the m of conversation -perh3ps monologue would he better- and this proEciency she's never Virginia was voted the neatest girl in the class. but that is only one of her many distinctions-Didn't lhe get Excellent mice in Philosophy papers? And hasn't she made a pronounced hit in Spring held? Oh, there is much we might say for Jinny. but why say it? Truly. she speaks for herselfll However. she is a loyal. energetic member of the class. and one We all like to call our friend. She's sweet and attractive and lovable. and what more can We ask from one small maid? lost. A happy soul that all the way to heaven has a summer's day. LAURA KENT. Shelbyville. Indiana: Choir; Agara: Don Pedro in i'Much Ado About Nothing. Although few of us really know her. even after four yean, Laura is one of the heat lihecl girll in the class. She seems to have a marked leaning toward the philos- ophy department and has taken every course oEeted in that line-for explana- tions of this strange tendency We might state that she was unanimously conceded to be teacher's pet in the clan vote. This year she has had charge of telling fruit and ice-crenm for the Ieniora and -1nirabile dictuI-the food enterpriu has proved for the Brat time highly lucrative- thanks to Laura's careful management. Rumor has it that she is one of the melt popular of the seniors with the younger girls. and we are not surpriled. for we have come to recagltlle and value her at. one who aspires To be of service. rather than to be colt- spicuoul.

As early innuencu count for much on can readily see why Rmie has always liecn our sunny. cheery maid with her ever ready sure 'nutf? She received her early training in the High School at Covington. Ky.. and very good training it must have been if we may judge at all by the way she has made good in college. She was admirably lined for Y. W. president and Ella that place with the same ease and efficiency she shows in all she under- takes. The class agree: that she is the sweetest girl of our number and pray. who should know better than we who have lived most closely with her? Heart on her lips anal soul within her Eyes . n Soft :3 her clime and sunny as her shes. ALICE RECORD, Pikeville, Kentucky; Western Oxford Board; Round Tahle; Tree Day Play. Maiden with the meek brown eyes. Alice came to Western in the fall of '06. We pettecl her and loved her. failing to realize at all her grown-up seltjor a year or more-she's such a tiny miss and so very quiet. But of late months we've realized her worth more fully: she is sweet, true-hearted, clever in an unex- pectedly humorous way, anal thoroughly refreshing and wholesome. The best things often come dam: up in the smallest packages. 31 FRANCES ALINE, STEVENS. Spartan:- burg. S. C.; Annual Board; Choir; Claudio in Much Ado Abnut Nothing. Our impetunus, keen-witled southern girl is Aline. hniling lust from Texas, then from Clmlim. She data on science, leans to math. and says she will teach next year. We can't quite imagine Aline in the role of a school marm -We fear her keen sense of humor might prove fatal to discipline; but certain it is she will succeed in whatever Ihe tries. for she worlu like a Trajan for any project in which she is really interested. She is bright. clever. attractive, and WW i3 glad she belongs to us. 1 am not only witty in myself But the cause thlt wit il in other folk. EDITH M. SIm'H, MLhaEey. PL; Round Table; Vice-President League: Clan President '08-'09; Wellern Oxford Board '09-'10; Tree Day Play. Edith hails from Pennsylvania and is inordinately proud of the fact. Any characterization of her apart from Vivian in well nigh impossible, for not content with being mnm-mntaes they are so in- separable always an to he scarcely con- ceivable apart. Edith is pretty. sweet- temperecL lovable anHell, if you want to hnnw what 19l0 think: of her just reliect upon the fact that she was our Junior president. We have all been not a little concerned of late about the ori- inal of a line picture which has adorned her dresser this year, butewe'll have to wait to learn any secret that may be con- nected therewith. Is she not planing fair?
