FLESSA. HERBERT, AA HAnd now a hero, towel'lng high above the throngn' This is the boy with the constant grin. We have seldom seen him deport himself with the full Senior dignity, and are apt to feel that it would hardly set well upon him. There is one thing about Flessa which we always rememA bershave you ever heard that very aspirant pronunciation of his name? Fles---sa, with a whistle on the s.' Of course, it is the very essence of his cognomen, and we would not alter it for anything. But his grin is the most important part of him, and We are sure that he will make a fortune with it. FREY, CLIFFORD, A A Captain Base Ball Team. Laugh. and the world laughs with you. Cliff is, as his face shows, one of the funny menf He is much given to watching Tambo and Bones from a lofty side-entrance seat, where 'tis said he often finds congenial company with whom to discuss the doings below. He is even known to have indulged in several little ventures himself, at Which he out-Neroed these dusky idols and made qulte a success. But Cliff is extremely modest. Then, too, there is that base ball career of his. He has been in Woodward base bull three years, and h'as certainly made good. This yar he captains the team. and we are sure that he is doing all that is possible to bring it out victorious. As for lessons. we understand that he slides along quite handily, and each day makes good his escape without attracting especial attention. 19

CROUSE, LAURA LOUISE, ORACLE Staff. tt 'Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than curonets.u Behold that authoress of short stories! We have mueed enjoyed those well-written and always pleasing storiettes, which have added so much to the attractiveness of the ORACLE. Louise adores chemistry, and We think that some day she will be an H2S manufacturer. Besides, she is a suffragist, and her highest ambition is to be President of the United States. Louise knows tan awful lot about Literature. Often, when we have come upon some queer- sounding and dimcult passage, she has relieved and saved us by answering before Miss Armstrong had a chance to call on any of the rest of us. And we certainly have appreciated the timely aid. CURLISS, MAUDE MARY, In vlrtucs nothing could surpass her. Maude is popular for two things-lirst, her cooking, and, second, her ex- cellent answers in Literature. But she is famed for her voice. Maude is a warbler-yes, she actually sang in the May Festival Chorus. Maybe she will be soloist some year-and then want we be proud? Maude has been a most conscientious student, and has stored up much knowledge these four years. She has also stored up many admiring friends, whose best wishes go with her in anything she may ever undertake. 18

DEWALD. ERNA, nEmblem of constancyg For whom is thy passion so steadfast and true? Would you suspect 'this studious maiden of ever thinking of anything but of her school work? Well, she does; and if you want to know of whom she ofttimes thinks you must meet her on her way to school. But we must be careful, for Erna is somewhat sensitive on the subject. She is the pride of our German class, and she has become popular through her perfect transla- tions, which she can read from her paper, to her credit. Never mind, Erna, youire O. K., and whatever you may undertake in the future our sincere Wishes go with you. EASTON, LILLIAN MARGARET, B. B.. M. O. B. HHer clear, calm ey'e Was bright with virtuous spirit. Lillian is beloved by everyone. But this is not strange, for she is so calm and gentle. Those who do not know her well are apt to consider her rather quiet and sedate, but her friends can testify that she is always ready for a frolic. Lillian has a special liking for apples-ask her why! Her frowns when reciting would make one think her lesson had not been pre- pared-but appearances deceive. Lillian,s sweet smile has won our confidence, and she is the truest and staunchest of friends. 20
