It is really presumptuous of us to attempt to put into this short space even a brief account of jane, for there are bound to be omissions, try as we may to do her justice. jane has a positive genius for obtaining amusement from any situation whatsoever and this genius goes so far as to enable her to spread her point of view so that with Jane, originality travels contagiously. In the winter time scarcely a day passes that jane is not skating over the ice and in the summer she is an equally ardent swimmerg she has even been seen roller skating---yes, of late years-so far does her penchant for sports lead her.

This winsome little lady has come to us from Bel' fast--but not from the North of Ireland. The Seniors trembled last June when it was learned that Marie was to be the power behind the throne, for we felt that such a combination as that meant the chalk line for the Seniors, but so far we have come through unscathed. This may be due to the fact that much of her time is occupied with correspondence. She is dignity personified, and we have no fear for her discipline next year, especially when she uses her wellfknown look that means I'm sure it won't happen again. Marie is one Senior who has a legal mind-and it is fitting that she should,--hence, you may have in- ferred that she is solicitous of details, and though this is true it really is the principle of the thing that bothers herf ' 42 X

The newfcomers, thirtyffive in number, were to be initiated into the ways of the tribe, and trained in accordance with its standards, that, when the fullness of time was come, they might go forth to follow the gloriously blazed trails, or to blaze new trails in the new country, Future, They were young and untried but great was their will to learn and so, when the red leaves were drifting from their branches, they were taken into the Wigwam of Alpha Sigma. It is told that great were the horrors and the tortures they endured in preparation for this, but when it was assured that they had shown themselves worthy of the trust and had proved their valor by their silent suffering, great was the rejoicing and the feasting, and joy reigned in every heart. Throughout the days they busied themselves listening 'to the words of wisdom that fell from the lips of those who were their preceptors. Or, again they spent long hours in mighty caves called laboratories, seeking to learn the secrets of nature and working with precious stones and metals. And some from a high promontory called studio painted nature's panorama spread out before them. Many of the maidens had come from the far oif hill country, leaving father and mother and brother in their zeal for advancementg these did not return at nightfall. Great were the tribulations of these, but again great were the joys and recompenses of this mode of life when their iirst loneliness and tribulations were over. But others there were, who came of the people of the surrounding prairies, and these returned each evening to the family wigwams. Early in the morning, at daybreak they might be seen again setting forth for the Temple, some on foot, but the more dauntless mounted on Conn Belts, strange beasts of burden,-emuch used in that country. They are large lumbering animals of a green and' yellow color, and move at a slow jerky pace, breathing forth fire like dragons of old. But lo, when the snow lay deep over all, and the wind howled loudly about the tepees, there came upon them a great scourge called the Mid Years. Men are wont to say that these young and frightened maidens sat up many nights even until the dawn, tending the iires, keeping the torches glowing, and fighting valiantly. But their vigilance conquered and it is related that in future days they never experienced like terror at the refoccurrenee of this plague. By this they had shown themselves worthy of admittance into the First Camp Fire called Freshmen, and they chose of their number one Celina of the tribe of Killeen who should be their princess, to be assisted by Margaret of the tribe of Murray, and she who guarded the coffers was of the tribe of Burke, while the scribe came from the tribe of Brett who inhabit the vale of Silver Creek. And this maiden was called Dolores. 44
