also likes poetry, mostly Miss Byrnes's; but honestly and truly the reason why the class likes Willie Is that although he does not believe in being disorderly. he does believe in having such enjoyment as Is found in dancing, eating doughnlts and drinking phosphate-lemon fiaNoring preferred CD Willie has one great drawback, however, that Is his ex- treme bashfulness, which has kept him from becoming acquainted with the feminine members of, his class.

She has always tried her best to recite without being heard and thereby gets ten. She has cer- tainly succeeded.
 Did you hear anyone giggle as aa were coming in? We'll if you dla and you noticed the sweet miss, to find that two large, merry, gray eyes and smiling countenance wore pos sessed by the culprit. you were be- holding Marguerite Jones, the fam ous class giggler. Marguerite also graces our honor role
 Charles Pierpont is the class hea- vyweight. His aim is to balance the weight of his brain, and his begin ming has proved encouraging
 Edna Watkins, seeing few honors coming to her and desiring to be famous. grew so tall that to day she is the tallest girl in her class.
 Daniel Commerford and Henrietta Harding, both shy and studious, wished to be unnoticed and alone, so they stopped growing entirely. To- day Daniel is prominent as eur shorr- est boy and Henrietta as Inc shortest girl with us.

 William Loomis, the wittiest boy, has made 1t special care of his t, misunderstood everything he possi- bly could. As freshman. he pre- ferred twenty-five cents to quarter As senior he thought the three most important parts of the orches- tra were the piano, the IIano cover and the piano stool.
 Eric Benedict, the boy with the miniature white cap and iac- short trousers. has talked and talked hts whole four years away. Although 1t
