- .Tn retaliation of the Junior's Who's
Who election, the Wesleyan gals have
elected the 'most popular’ Merccrian.
Tile balloting was done in the College
Hill Pharmacy, and after a bloody war
in- which three candidates were -run.
-Noble Arnold, senior. Won nut, as the

He was elected the most popular.on I"
several counts. The reason for eachj-

for his election The cma nil noils do

Tom Hall Smith—ot'a herd of cattle.
Also another reason was because of
his curly hair.. It is Curly every time
it rains, and always when it is not
showering. Other reasons gis’en were
because.he was so quiet at all athletic
contests—oiily doing all the .cheer lead
i|rg and about two’thirds of the root
ing, and because he beats the dfiim at
all pkrades, so the students can keep
' perfect: step. Nqble is always in. step
while the rest are out.
The outstanding, reason that he is so
popular with the WVsJey ah ne* is be
cause he blacks his'face when hr .ap
pears with -the glde club -. • He shows
rare taste in' tliis. And many' would,do
well to emulate this virtue 'it hides
half pf his fact,. Too,.he plays only a
minor part with that organization; be.
ing president, assistant manager, stage
director, ’electrician, and - popular cirri
man.' In truth a very small part of it.
