As punishment they had to graduate with '91 Instead ol '90, the class ol their choice. Their acquaintances know the Misses Rogers as two indus trious, pleasant, and sociable young ladics,who will do much to make the class of '91 far-famed. William Jamas Taylor, or "Billy" Taylor as he is affec tionately called, during his college days, has been fond of addressing classic epistles to 4My dearest Stella." His affection for cirls is excelled only by his loVe for whiskers. When the barber mistaking for a weeks growth of wool his side burns specially grown for graduating day, moved off the tawny decoration just In front of the cars, Mr. Taylor waxed wroth to an unusual degree. Unless "My dearest Stella" consents to caie (01 him, he will probably put in his time educating the Ameiican youth. Miss Edith Mineiva Brace is one of the scientific girls, college and like all the '91 girls, is very nice. The boys are sure of it, and the girls do not deny it. What Miss Brace expects to do is noi known to The Hesperian, but unless we are mistaken, no man, however long his whiskers, will ever persuade her to stay at home and wash dishes. Charles Buckingham Gregory. Charlie is a descendant of Gregory XIII, and now holds in his possession the oiig Inal calciulai as patented by that illustrious ancestor, li's fair countenance always canies a broad smile. He is ol medium height, and if reduced to fighting weight, would piobably enter the ting as a lightweight. Walking Telescope Blown is one of the more 01 less dig nified members of the class. At times Will is as solemn as the hired mouineis at a funeral, but when lie is out at camp and at some othei times he is one of the bojs. He is gifted in talking to the joung ladies and has spent a considerable part of his spaie time in that way. He has been a hard- woiking student and has stood well in his classes. He is above the medium height, someu hat stooped and not much of an athlete. He will cany ofi as the result of his labois the degree of B. A., a commission as first lieutenant and the best wishes of his fellow students, lie is a graduate from the classical couisc, has a solid giil, will probably become a preacher, marry a few couples just for practice, and then get married himself, lie is not spoken foi, as far as the editor knows, and would make a gook prize for a oung lady who its a gocd cook. David Aveiy Ilaggaul is the nimiod of the class. Quite frequently he may be seen in his bird-hunting costuni sf-our-' ing'the country in seaich of game. He is rather short, tree from whiskeis, quite good looking, is inclined to lie a little bow-legged and as a result "is quite successfr' i curve -pitcher, although he very seldom plays in a 1 ue of ball. Tie is a graduate of the scientific course, and captain of Co. C of the univeisity cadets. Per Axel Rydberg is a native of Sweden and a graduate of one of the Swedish univeisities, which with the necessary work in English entitled him to the degiee of B. Sc. from the U. of N. Mr. Rydberg has beenwith us but one yeai, but he has made many friends. He is a very close student and conscientious worker. In appearance he is rather slim, light complected, wears, perhaps the prize moustache ol the claSs. Although giving most of his time to hard work, he ' can take a few moments rest occasionally and allow his mind 1o play with lighter work. As a humorist he leads the class. "Just why Mr. Rydberg is a single man may be hard toguess, lor he is old enough to get married, and certainly knows ' enough; perhaps "he knows too much to get married. '"' John B: "Fogarty is one of the best known members of the class. He has had considerable distinction in the "oratorical line and is a good writer and was the big man on Til". Hus rERUN for r j car-.' Mr. Fogarty has taken considerable interest in college politics, which, w ith law m prospect, indi cate that congress will yet provide a camp chair for John, lie has also some inclination toward the matrimonial line and may be one of a pair before many "months. John has made a good record in his studies and will Take a diploma from the classical department, but no military honois. Sarah Schwab is one of the jolly, good-humored, happy girls of the class. She has black hair, black eyes that can pierce through a stone wall, and a heavy masculine voice that would win an oratorical contest of itself. Miss Schwab is prominent in social circles. She has been on the fair road to marriage but is still with us. Albeit Alfred Faurot is a lieutenant in the battallion, is a graduate of the literary course, and has taken full work in politics. He usually wears a sort of tioubled look on his dark face. Some think that he met a disappointment in a love affair when he was young. Be that as it may how ever, when he gets to talking he is usually one of the jollicst boys in school. Mr. Kaurot is a little below the average height, is a middle weight, and dark complected; he has a senior mustache about the size and color of the head of a mourning pin; he has acquired no solid giil while in school, and is still unspoken for, Bert Wheeler is a pleasant gentleman to meet, and always seems to be in a happy mood, inclined to be moie quiet than loquacious. He is about medium height, very fair featuied, and a fit subject foi the smiles of the fair ones. He grad uates from the literary department with a good record behind him. Guy P. Thuiber is one of the odd geniuses of the class. He walks and cairies his head in such a manner that he might appear to a stranger as a haughty capitalist, but such is not the case. Mr. Thurber is a modest, humble, indus trious person, and one of the best dulled men in the military department. Mr. J. W. McCrosky is one of the few seniors for whom we dare predict a brilliant future. This is an age of special ists. "Jim" is one of these. Electrical engineering is one of his specialties. There is anothci. "Witness his method of scratching the Palladian slate for commencement week. At present he is -"gaged in a bicycle race with Clrrk of '9S. He applies electiical phraseolog) to everything. He "volts" into the saddle and at piesent is seven laps ahead of Clark; just the number of enteitaiumcnts given dining commence ment week. "Mac" will spend the greater pait of the sum mer at the Beatrice chalnuqua. It is with a mingling of hesitation and regret that we nppioach the name of C. C. Fletcher.. We had had hopes for the boy. lie was so quiet, so modest, so unassuming that we had hoped he would go through school without trying to laisc that seemingly necessary insignia of senior dignity a moustache. But It came at last. Weak, and straggling at first, by proper care and attention, it soon acquired the necessary droop, and on the whole gives promise of becoming a fairly good w ind break. Any one who thinks, that "Flctch" ib confining his attentions too strictly to one girl his sister, would do well to happen along near the high school grounds, any bright afternoon, about 4 o'clock. He will Find ""r letch" there, and not alone. In the university competitive drill Sergeant Barkley -wasf awarded the first prize in the individual infantry drill; ICor poral Richmand took the second. The prizes in the individ ual artillery drill were awaredd to Corporals Tcdlesak and McFarland. . The inspector-gerieral'said that the cadets of the U. of N. 1 Ipassed as favorable"an inspection as any univei shy "battalion he had visited. rtKT -.!& j"i f "i r 1 i' w 'v v fU Ww$ 4M"Mf5"
