GERTRUDE BAKER, Middletown, Ohio Agorag Editor of Multifaria, '12-'13g Sci- ence Club. ' What can we choose of all we might say about Gertrude which will really do her jus- tice? We thought she surely would major in Math or Latin, so glib were her recita- tions in Freshman days, but instead she delves into Philos and Lit, besides spending a goodly amount of her time in the Chem lab. We marvel at her brain power, admire her executive ability, and feel that we have only begun to appreciate her true worth. REBECCA OLIVER York Pennsylvania Athletic Captain, '10-'11, '12-'13g Multifaria Board, '12-'13, Vice President of the Class, '13-'14, Chorus. Peggy is-well, just Peggy! From the day she left her Pennsylvania hills for our Western plains, until she donned her cap and gown, Peggy's time has been employed in making friends. On the side she has cap- tained her Junior basket ball team, star- red in dramatics, and been Senior vice pres- ident. Should anyone seek further informa- tion of Peggy, be it known that she is little, has black, curly locks, and is expected to contribute to the sensations of the 1914 Senior howl. , 29

thousand dollar concert in our parlors gratuitously. Another thing that will always be a tradition of that year was the two-o'c,lock Hre drill--when all the beauty s-ecretsof the college were laid bare even in the face of such a mystery. Our Junior year came gloriously to a close with the publication of our annual. As for thehistory of modern times-there are many things worth recording. For the first time in history, every member of the Senior class came back some kind of an official-each thoroughly impressed with the dignity of herposition. In addi- tion we have each for the first time-in our advisory capacity, undertaken to guide six erring Freshmen through their first year. Most of our Freshmen know us by sight at least. That we should be here to record the completion of our gym is remarkable, but it is finished even to the swimming pool-and. wonder of wonders, once a week the Seniors are privileged to have an evening swimming party. As unique as ever, the Seniors did not stand in line at Senior Reception. Only our august officials received, while the rest of us were stationed in each room much after the fashion of the five-spot on a domino. The most distinguishing thing of all, however, is the way we keep Senior parlor-well, of course. That's the way we have always done things. lt has not been all play, but a remarkable mixture of hard worksand hard play. Four years ago we came, the dream of years is almost over, and at the end we are forced to say with Stevenson: i ' To 'travel hopefully is more Than to arrive at the goal.

Since then she has talzen from her Alma Mater much learning, and has given in return unbounded enthusiasm for every phase of college life, and, with it all, a smile. EMMY META DAX, Cincinnati, Ohio Round Table, Glee Club, Choirg President Students' League, '13,-'14, . I For the first two years of the college life, Emmy was a very loyal member of the class of ,13. After having been abroad for a year, she entered as a Junior with the class of '14, They found her to be ever ready for service in her new class, and a faithful, un- tiring worker. In the spring of her Junior year, she was elected vice president of the League, but Fate frowned that a girl with such executive ability should lay waste her powers in the students' kitchen, and turned her wheel, so that at the eleventh hour, Emmy found herself president. She. has performed her duties with suchia mixture of dignity and sympathy that all the girls love her. In this way has our loved Demmy Ax given to her Alma Mater her faith, loyalty, love, and service. 30
