CHARL1zs LARIMER PEAIRS. , Like all great men, Charles hails from the rural districts. He is distinguished for his love of study and staying' qualities. He is a zealous worker, and, though fitted for any calling, he is at heart a Jacobite and will preach. GLENN MCKILLIPS PIERCE. In 1903 Glenn quietly drifted into our midst. He is noted for a love of sleep and a profound dis- like for anything in the form of hard work. He in- tends graduating with us, and afterward to study medicine. Davin IRXVIN Rose. The Rose of '06 is not strictly an American Beauty, but a wild rose taken from the fields of Cono- quenessing to add its fragrance to our class. Rose is great on the spiel, and a great track man. His best time was made one night when handicapped with four heavy chickens. XMILLIAM ROTZLER. Rotzler joined our class in the fall of 1904. just in time for the line up for Junior orations. He has no bad habits except his love of sweet cider. He has been known to walk six miles for one drink ta gal- lonj. He is decidedly studious, and has been seldom known to- flunk, . EDGAR Reese SAMPSON. Sammie was born somewhere in the coun- try-where, is not dennitely known. Although small, his marks in class show up big enough. His chief delight is in bothering or playing tricks on- some one. Sammie is far-famed for his heroic de- fense of a turkey. 33

Ross S. MCGOWN. The managing editor-yes, this is he, A kindly and brisk-looking chap, Wlio always resembles the hard working bee, Since he ever has business on tap. He's tall and he's jolly and. light-hearted, too, As Southerners generally are, And in giving orations so ,strong and so true McCown is reckoned a star. H ELEN AMANDA MELVILLE. How dear to her heart is the college, Westiiiiiister, NVhich fair Helen Melville has come to attend. Her gaiety, graces and charms she brought with her From Braddock, 'tis said, where her life she did spend I Before she did come to be one of our number, To work and rejoice with us, till the glad end. JANIES CASPER NEGLEY. Ever since he cut Prof. Hewie's hair too short Neg has lost his Hclragl' with the Faculty. How- ever, he is still as popular as ever with the fellows. Although short in stature, no chicken roost's too high for Jim. He's great on Iui Jitsu, having thrown nearly the whole class of 'OT in the flag rush, LUCILE G. NEVIN. ln New VVilmington, Pennsylvania, For at present this town's her abode, Lucile's seeking a co-education, And she's far along VV'isdon1's rough road. Tis needless to speak of her learning, She knows everything mortals know, And doubtless in climbing Farne's ladder She will leave us all far below. THOMAS RoscoE PATTERSON. Our Thomas, known only as T. R., is entirely free from bad habits. He shows great skill in de bating, in a very few minutes, arguing a question from seventeen standpoints. T. R. is a zealous stu- dent and agreat reader. Hisgleisure time he devotes to long trarnps in the country. 32

AMY ANNETTE SEIDE1.. Over the hills from Mercer, Another maiden came To join the ranks of 1900, And help increase its fame. Her stay with us has been but short, But since in lab. she's careful, She will be with us longer yet And escape a fate so fearful. JULIA RUTH SNODGRASS. Ruth is one of the few girls who have belonged to the Tribe of l06 since the First year of its reign. Unlike the Hebrew Ruth, who was fond of Boaz Cbeauxj, our Ruth prefers only one. Always bright and smiling, she confirms the statement of one who said of her, She's just the sweetest little thing. ALEXANDER NEWTON TANNEHILL, On September 8, 1903, Newt. eluded the watch- ful care of his nurse, and via. the Sharpsville Flyer, triumphantly appeared in our midst. Very soon Newt. made his debut into society, and, from all appearances, will be a shining light. He has also developed some 'peculiar traits, prominent among them being that of hill climbing. LAURA THOMPSON. Crowned with laurel means her name, And 'tis by such the Greeks proclaim The ones with fame and honor blest. '1 Wo honors hath this maid possessed- The first, within her name you see. The last, a home 'neath old WVestminster's tree. Scorr NEVIN WVATT. E This mysterious 'tShadow'-' appeared in New XlVil.111i11glfO11 in the fall of '03, and soon made its presence felt in the college world. Of it the profes- sors have often exclaimed Great Scott! 'vV'att a phenomenon. Shadow is noted as a very diligent reader. In fact, he spends most of his time in the library and reading room. 34
