RUTH ELLEN BUCKLEY, Art League. ii Her voice changed like a birfs; There grew more of the music and less of the words. Little Ruth is very quiet ordinarily, but we suppose she saves her musical voice for better things. In addition to her school work, she has taken up the dramatic course at the College of Music. This has taken a great deal of her attention from Woodward, but those who have heard her there feel amply repaid for that loss. Many have been cheered up by her quiet, pleasing manner and when success finally comes to her, we know she will remember the Class of '12 of old Woodward. HELEN CRAMER, Dramatic Club; Art League. HO Helen. fair beyond compare, I'll make a. garland of thy hair, Shall bind my heart forevermair Until the day I die! This is plain Helen, as we call her, not because she is plain; no, not by any means, but because she has. only one name. Ye gods! what could the history class do without Helen? Sheis also always iiJohnny on the spot with the salt for Mr. Goodwin in the lunch room. We believe Helen is a talker, Which is not unusual iiin woman? She can even joke on the way to an examination! Helenis classmates Will long remember her smiling face. 29

WILLIAM N. ALLEN, JR., Art League; Dramatic Club. Billy has developed into a prominent Wireless operator, a second J-ack Binns, as it were, and we fully expect him to be flashing the C. Q. D. or S. O. S. hlmseif some day. Billy is also a. renowned chemist and delights in making many experiments, neither required nor desired, and often fraught with promises of open death to those who happen to be in the neighborhood of the experimenter. Billyis musieal laugh thy some compared with that of a goati has found charms in the ear of a certain young damsel of Whom we have heard so much in the Oracle. We think William will be in politics some day and probably revolutionize the city with his social and economic reforms. HUGH F. ARUNDEL, Athletic Association; Oratorical Contest; Walking Club: Art League; Dramatic Club. What would the Senior Class do without this illustrious personage? And Hugh is so graceful when playing basket-ball! He fairly skims o'er the floor. There seems to be a personal magnetism between Hugh and bashful bits of femininity, shown es- pecially in the halls and library. We love to hear his fine voice exclaim, iiYe call me chief! and many of us would have chosen him in the oratorical contest, but the fates decreed otherwise. Hughis latest ambition is to be an after-dinner speaker, but, as some iihorridii person has suggested, we do not believe this would spoil our dinner. Herets one for Hugh, general good fellow! 28

JAMES L. BAKER, Quartet; Assistant Business Manager ofthe Oracle; Art League; Dramatic Club; Captain Fencing Team; Athletic Association; Tennis Club. This is Jim, the affable chemist, singer, actor and all 'round good fellow. He has proven to be a constant pillar of the quartet and, as an actor, how he made us trouble as the burly Blazer! Girls! how could you say Jim was slow? Only Witness his Marathon race after an Auburn Avenue car about 8:20 some morning, 2'. 3., when he has the coin, which he generally has. A11 Jimis education here has been gotten through absorption and he is especially good in studies where lectures are given. We do not know whether Jim will he a ttbasso or just a plain usher, but indications are that it will be the former because of his weakness for fair pianistes. Best wishes, Jim. WILLIAM BARDES, Assistant Business Manager of the ANNUAL; Art League. IBardes is a great business man, proving his ability by raking in money for the ads 11; LheIANNUAL CU. Wilham is not a big noise, but he is certainly not quiet, especially in machlne shop. About 2:15 he can be seen bribing some unfortunate to get him a ttRhodee or an Eleonh from the library because he cant endure going there in hIS greasy shop garments. This, however, is a common weakness and does not detract from t'WIIIyum's virtues. We all lament the fact that we must soon lose his strengthening presence and go out into the hard, cruel worldi-alone. 30
