RUTH AMISS EVA NGELYN BARSKY HELEN ATWOOD RUTH AMISS Ruth has lots of accomplishments, not the least among them being her musical ability. For three years she has loyally backed up the second-altos in Choir and Glee Club. In choosing her as president of Choir, the girls showed good judgment, for she will fill the office most efficiently. Ruth is always on the spot with practical aid whenever i! is needed, whether it be in class or in Agora stunts; in short, she is a most dependable sort of person. HELEN ATWOOD Helen has one failing--a weakness for jokes, which she springs upon her friends unexpectedlye jokes which, though decidedly pointless in themselves, yet because of the naiveie with which Helen tells them, gather a certain charm which makes them irresistible. Jokes are Helen,s only frivolily, however. In all else she is as serious-minded as one could wish. Indeed, it can well be said, that she is one of l9l6's most conscientious students, doing all her work with a thoroughness that presages greater things to come. EVANGELYN BARSKY Oh, Barsky, we have a vision of you in the court room. If you don't tell the judge to uquit his kiddin' we shall never know you. But, seriously, if one may be pardoned for being serious on the subject of Eva. she is Johnny-on-the-Spot when it comes to help wanted. She has caught the college spirit. See her swaying to lead the 'l6 yells! A song for banquet, a jingle for Kalends. anything, even a fooled! is all in Barsky's line She was shy little thing when she came to us in her Sophomore year from Penmhbul now! Here's to you, Eva! $D$ Tmenly-six

That year her sister class, 1918, took her clown the bay, presented her with candy, and entertained her with Camus. Very fond and proud of this 1918 she was. The realization that she was no longer a child passing through circumstances that she did not understand but a Senior was at first difhcult for 1916 to believe. But as the experience grew she liked it, She began to see things in their relations to each other and in a broader light. The future began to shed its alluring ray before her, the past began to fade into dim memory, not as a thing to be utterly forgotten, but as a precious possession that had made enlightenment possible. She became more serious- mincled, more tolerant. All of her faculties were concentrated upon one big purpose, a worthy production of Tmelflh Night. And with that let us leave her. She has not yet, in the fullest sense, shown what she can do; she is standing at the very threshold of a bigger world, one however, that her verdancy, sophistry, and responsi- bility have made possible to enter. She is sorry to say good-bye to all of her friends here. No portents will announce her passing, but may she depart with the feeling that she has played well her small part in this college life, and after she has gone out in the wide, wide world may she be able to keep stepn as bravely, as faithfully, and as truly as she has kept step here.

ELSIE BENDER MARY ELIZABETH BERRY LILLIAN ELSPETH BENSON ELSIE BENDER She aims to take every course in college because she thinks it her duty. Now this statement may be a great surprise to Elsie's friends, who think they know her pretty well. For to them she is the gayest of the gay-she goes to numerous parties, adores to dance, etc. Perhaps because she thinks this somewhat frivolous, she does all kinds of unpleasant things for the good of her character. For examples, she takes 19 hours of work when she needs only l3eshe saturates herself in Chemistry, Physics and Biology. with their hours upon hours of lab.-why? Because she abhors lab. and thinks it will be good for her. LILLIAN ELSPETH BENSON Her object is to take all of the English courses in collegeeand she has almost succeeded. Very musical she is also, being able to play anything from 3 Beethoven Sonata to the latest one-slep. As chairman of the music committee for Senior Dramatics, she showed splendid ability. We always enjoy listening to her class-reports, as her voice is so rich and pleasing. Dances and the theatre are her specialties, yet one would never call her frivolous. MARY ELIZABETH BERRY Early in our college career whenever we wanted Liz to do something for us she was always just departing for the Naval Academy or just getting back and working hard to make up for time wastede for despite the dimples, she does work. But now things have changedeshe is still going, but to a place much nearer home. Yes, girls, how did you guess it? To Homewood. Liz is a good sport, and a fascinatin' creature. and we clonlt blame the men one bit. QD$ ?ED$ Tm eniy -.seVen
