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

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

REBECCA BLACKBURN EMILY MAY BROWN J ULIET CAPERS BRANHAM REBECCA BLACKBURN If every girl in Goucher had half as much college spirit as has Becky, there would be little need of certain yearly articles in Kalends and of numerous dunning poslers in the basement of Goucher Hall. Since her freshman days she has been noted for her active loyalty to her college, and this quality is standing her in good stead in contributing largely to her success as President of the Athletic Associaiion. Becky, we are Iold, plans to be a medical missionary, and in the lighi of what she has accomplished here we cannot doubt but lhat she will meet with great success. JULIET CAPERS BRANHAM Capers certainly is an appropriate nickname for Juliet, for she is always cutting themeas well as classes. She came to us from Bryn Mawr with the evident intention of being as different from the rest of us as possible. Honestly, it is inconceivable how many different ways a girl can be different when she sels out to be so. But the differenlness is a great attraction. Besides being different she is an English Shark. EMILY MAY BROWN Emily May has only this year joined 1916, but she has already won the friendship and esteem of her classmales. Her chief fear, we undersland, is lhal she will fail in her finals and forfeit her degree, but if the results which she has already achieved are a sample of her abilities we feel she need ?iave no anxiety. We are sorry, however, that she has not been here long enough to take uEC, for we hate to have her go on! from Goucher an anti. $$$le Tmeniy-cight
