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

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

ELLA CLAASSEN, Dramatic Club, Art League. tlDevoted, anxious, generous, void of guile, And with her whole heartls welcome in her smile? In the course of Ellis life, there never will be a time when she will lack friends and companions. She has a merry smile and a pleasant word for her schoolmates at all times. Her jovial disposition has occasionally, within the past year, been a disadvan- tage to her; it has frequently been taken up seriously by the teachers. She, however, is an intelligent student, an enthusiastic worker, a generous and kind-hearted girl. Her sweet and bright disposition will linger forever in the hearts of her classmates. PAULINE CREGMILE, Dramatic Club, Art League. If to her share some feminine errors fall, Look on her face and youlll forget them all. When the skeptic, with a sneer on his lips, says, thhat good ever came out of Lin- wood? we answer not, but with dignified silence point toward Pauline. ltPaul carries around with her a giggle that on the stage would make a name for her equal to that of the great Bernhardt; and if the teachers of the school had to pay three dollars to hear her giggle at the Grand or Lyric, they would regret that they formerly paid de- merits at Woodward. And have we all noticed the pin that Pauline wears? That pin was the pride of els eye, and now he has to do without it. Cruel, cruel Pauline. 29
