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

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

RUSSELL L. COOK, Athletic Association, Art League. uCustom reconciles us to everything.v In spite of his daily occupation, Rus. insists that he is not going to become a bank clerk. He says he will be the president. We would take his word for that, if he Wasnlt so terribly honest with the lunch checks. Rus. has made quite a record in his studies, and we prophecy a professorship in the near future. STANLEY COOK, Art League Representative, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Tennis Club, Gym Team, Athletic Association. liOh, lcollector ofl money, to what will you not drive human minds 19,, Gentle reader, were you ever fondly lingering your last nickel and wondering whether to go to the Simon for dinner, buy an automobile or get a box at the Grand? And as you pondered, weighing first one proposition then another, did you ever have some cruel, cold-hearted schoolmate with a little black book in his hand step up to you and say in a calm voice, ttLook here, your Art League dues are overdue about a week; now come across with five cents or thereis going to be a battleW I sincerely trust that you have not suffered sol With sad hearts we fellow classmates say, gFarewell, collector of nickels! Farewell, breaker of hearts and pocketbooks! Farewell, philosopher, theo- logian, linguist and mathematician! Once more, kind friend, our kindest felicitations and the, memory of our lost bank accounts be with you always into whatever lands you go? 30
