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

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

GOETTLE, RICHARD, E. A. T. nMore cheerful than the buds whlch ope in spring? 0h. see who's here! It's our little Buddum. To look at this smiling countenance no one would believe that its owner was aught else than a perfect angel. But be not deceived. Bud is at the head of as desperate a band of crooks as ever existed in the Black Hand. This gang of rumans roves about Winton Place, terrorizing the inhabitants of that t'city with their terrible and bloody deeds. Bud gets most of his ideas from a certain class of literature retailing at five cents per, and which has the color of the flame test for sodium. Outside of these propensities, Bud is all right, and has many friends who will be sorry to see him leave Old Woodward. GRAEF, ALBERT. The iuugue can no main control. This old Biblical truth seems to be contradicted in the person of Albert Graef. You never hear him talking nonsense or cracking jokes, although he does appreciate fun and good-rellowship. He never speaks about what he is going to dohhe simply does it, and well too. Some time ago we were sorry for him, as we thought he was sick with typhoid fever, but it is now generally understood that he was serving a term in the work-house, judging from his shorn head, or else he is a nature faker. However that may have been, we were all glad to see him back again. and to enjoy his friendliness and good nature. 21
