ALEXANDER BLACKBURN, Athletic Association, Art League, Indoor Baseball. u0ft doth he strut his play upon the stage, And oft walk off againf' Black is a regular living itBill Board. He can explain the latest tricks from the Columbia, while Ruckstuhl gets them off; he can recite melodramatic bash at a 999 gait; he can explain more tricks of stage business in five minutes than Mantell could make use of in a year. Than about all, except that he clearly loves his itMathW EDGAR BRADFORD, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association, Orchestra, Art League. HA face like a benediction. ttBrad is a walking catalogue of the Public Library, especially of the childrenis room. Several times he has recommended Starkey some good one-syllahle Fableii books. But besides this achievement, Brad fiddles industriously for the orchestra; and, judg- ing by his earnest look when so engaged, he makes ttsome noise. 26

MARGARET R. BAKER, Dramatic Club, Art League, Choral Club, Oracle Staff, Athletic As- sociation. llTrue she is, as she hath proved herself True to her words, her works and her friends? Margarefs weaknesses are chocolate ice-cream and musicians of the tall, slender, graceful variety. Of course, she likes music, tooeadores it. Her ability as an artist is well known lher itOraclei' covers have proved her skillJ and as a maker of delicious fudge, she is without a rival. Did you ever see her when something appealed to her sense of humor? Such a contagious laugh! We have all had a good chance to hear it, because she is seeing something funny nearly all of the time. What would we not give to be so perfectly sincere, so delightfully impulsive? If you are looking for a care-banishing, sympathetic, true friend, behold-Margaret! MARGUERITE BECK, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association. ii ,Tis better to laugh than be sighing? She showed a far-reaching judgment when she decided to tibide-a-wee and grad- uate with the class of Nineteen ileven instead ofebut there! We are telling tales out of school. Howeier this be, llNineteen llevenl' is properly appreciative, for Mar- guerite is one of the liveliest members, and is always ready to share the contents of her well-kept notebooks with the needy. Besides this, Marguerite comes all the way from Mount Washington tquocumque estl to attend our fair school, and in the face of such loyalty the spirit of criticism is entirely subdued. 25

LILLIAN BENZING, Oratorical Contest, Dramatic Club. ttNothing she does or seems, But smacks of something greater than herselff' Our Lillian dwelt among the horrid shadesil of Cumminsville, and she was not therefore cut down; she dwells amid the airy heights of the region up where the sun shines, and she is not sot upw about it. Therefore you can guess what manner of girl our Lillian is. To record all her virtues and accomplishments would fill this volume, but we will name one of each. The virtuel' is the neatness and exactness which she possessess to the nth degree; and the accomplishment is her culinary skill, exem- plified by the delicious cake made by her own fair hands, and distributed at recess to her hungry classmates. CARRIE BIEDERMAN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. gFairest of all was she. After perusing a good deal of itAnnual material, we have come to the conclu- sion that some time or other, somebody said that somebody else was libuxom, blithe and debonairf and we would like to apply that line to Carrie, as it ujust fitsllibut we re- frain. Carrie has a calm, dignified, yet sincere way of expressing her thought that makes her a very interesting Companion, and inspires one with a feeling of confidence in her. Perhaps her unruffled temper is due to the splendid constitution that is so apparent. 27
