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.

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.

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

WILLIAM BRUCKMANN, Athletic Association, Baseball, Football, Art League, Indoor Base- ball. Spare your breath to cool your soup. liLefty -who dosenlt know him? He looks so pitiably uncomfortable with a book before him, that we wish he were on the diamond with two strikes and the bases full. And has lisomei, pitcher, tool Woodward need not fear for her laurels if they rest with ilefty? If they all follow Bruckls example, Woodward is a sure winner. FRED. CONE, Track Team, Athletic Association. uAs modest and attentive as a blushing maid. This boy, generally called HIce Cream,h is known to only a few of us; but those few find him a steadfast friend, not only in fair weather, but he is a firm support for his class- mates when they stand in need of sundry scholarly assistance. 28
