Her reply will be invariably, uIt depends upon the partner. Bess does not agree with many people, but she agrees beautifully with Milton in ullAllegro, when he says, uHence, loathed Melancholy. Betty has worked hard this yearhai lessons? Nay! naylhat locals. You have simply got to risk a few demerits, iibeing funny, so that Bess may get a local. If you don't, she will get angry and that would be awful! But We will forgive her faults, for she is a jolly, good girl, after all. INNES. RUTH, B. B., M. 0. B. Her voice was ever gentle, soft and low, Ruth is one of the sweetest and most congenial girls who ever entered the portals 01 Woodward. But she has one serious fault-falling in love. But not indeed seriously, for the next time that you see her she has transferred her affections to another fortunate mortal. Ruth comes from Noplace, or the famous Dish Pan Town. But never mind that. She is popular with all and her happy face will never be forgotten 26

That Artie is in search of the i'line of beauty is evinced by his partiality for that branch of higher mathematics which deals with the plotting of curves and circles. He is a wonderful guesser, having won several guessing contests It was he who, after much hard work and a great deal of reference to his Algebra, figured out how old Ann was.

HILL, NORMAN 8., M. 8., K. Ki. A A Football Team. Base Ball Team, Swimming Team. Thurs was no man nowhei' so vertunus. Alas! We know not what consternation the accompanying picture will cause among the fair sexi Curly has a record for breaking hearts, which he proved by his work on the football team. It is enough to say that he belongs to that famous triumvirate composed of himself. Wilkinson and Schwab. Curly has the enviable honor of being called at one time the only gentleman in the class. His work in the pitcher's box at all times has been worthy of mention, and has only been surpassed by his work on the gridiron. To look at his high forehead one would think him a philosopher, but this is due merely to the fancy way he has of combing his hair. He is especially good in the chemical lab., where he is noted for breaking test-tubes and blowing in the gas. He intends to astound the professors at Cornell next year with his wonderful store of chemical knowledge. HOFMANN, ALBERT P., Captain Foot Ball Team.

Wheneviar the pennant 0t our school was in danger Al was there at the front, firmly resolved to guard the waving flag of blue, lest it fall into hostile hands. A1 has always been a hard worker, both in and out of schools Dogged perseverance is a strong characteristic of his make-up. When he undertakes a thing there is no letting up until success crowns his efforts. Let us wish him success, 27
