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

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

MAYBELL JESTINE BURNER JEAN BROWNFIELD FRANCES DORA BRYANT JEAN BROWNFIELD Upon acquaintance she doesn't seem to possess the necessary amount of persistence for the attaining of everything she sets her mind on; she seems too carefree, yet we know her mind is set. She is good company and must, somewhere in her make-up, have a bit of Irish humor. It comes to the surface at frequent intervals in a delightful way. Moreover, it is refreshing to meet a person who is dependablee you know a thing will be done, and well done, if Jean says she will do iteand on time. too, strange as it may seem. FRANCES DORA BRYANT Frances is one of the literary lights of the college. The first thing that comes to our mind when we start to write her biography is the thought of the many beautiful sketches of woodland life that she has contributed to Kalends. They breathe a spirit of beauty and of the soul of nature that give us an insight into the character of the writer and make us long to know her better. She spent her spare time last year being literary editor of DONNYBROOK and this year she is on Kalends Board. MAYBELL JESTINE BURNER Maybell is a person to whom the epithet nan all-round college girl can fittingly be applied. She excels in athletics, for she has helped win for l9l6 the tennis doubles championship for three years past; has been actively present in all field day stunts, and has occupied a prominent place on the hockey field. But in other fields of college activity have her energies likewise been displayed, for Y. W. C. A. and her class have come in for a big share of her enthusiastic support. Maybell is a Student Volunteer, and we feel sure that she will meet with marked success. hljhe, Twenly-nine
