HELEN LOUISE ADAMS, 2129 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, Md. NIAJOR DEPARTIVIENTZ PHYSICS. We delight in physics. Helen soon decided that physics was the hub of the universe, and that an afternoon in physics laboratory offered endless oppor- tunities for discerning great truths. In other departments her grave nod of approval always meant, That tits in with the modern scientific attitude. MARIE MOYER ALLEMAN, I4S North Front Street, Steelton, Pa. MAJOR DEPARTMENT: ENGLISH. Learning it but an adjunct to ourselves. Beginning in her freshman year, Marie steadily continued tn build up her reputation as an English shark and to walk with a regal-like tread. In American literature she was always asked to close the discussion if she had not already contributed to it. Her replies conjured up visions of future M. A.'s and Ph. D.'s. MARGARET C. AMIG, 2105 Homewood Avenue, Baltimore, Md. NIAJOR DEPARTMENT: IVIATHEMATICS. Be silent and safe. To leap from one's bed and sprint through the cold blackness to dance in an ice-water shower is joyful. So is pitching wheat and cutting corn all the day if you are a husky, like Margaret. She has always been a husky as a student, too, if the same signs hold. In the realm of talking-well, why notvote her an A. for the excellence of her silence? MARY CARYE BATCHELOR. I02I Cathedral Street, Baltimore, Md. MAJOR DEPARTRIENTZ SocIAI. SCIENCE. I am not only witty myself, but Ilze cause of ilmt wit which is in other men. Always on the go, talking, and making everybody hold their sides with laughter every inch of the way, was how Mary Carye went through college. Of all her occupations, her favorite was cheering up soldiers and sailors. We don't wonder they forgot their troubles when Mary Carye served them in the canteen. 25

The Senior Era classes now began to mean the sacrifice of extras Consequently, our Sophomore play, for which the cast had already been chosen, was laid away, our plans for the boat ride forgotten, and only our Daisy Chain remained as a tribute to 1917. In our junior year a serious question confronted us at our first Donny- brook Board meeting. VVere we justified in spending a thousand dollars and devoting our greatest efforts to Donnybrook when our country was at war? We decided that, if the college was willing, we would give up the book and collect the subscriptions for some war fund. The Seniors willingly voted to give up the record of their Senior year, and we gave up, what was perhaps just as hard, the fun of making a Donnybrook. What we lost of the joy of working together we tried to make up in giving our Junior play. Pmmella, which was to have been our Sophomore play, was revived, and, with its large cast, its home-made scenery and costumes, kept practically the whole class busy during the two weeks of preparation. Not the least of the fun was in having 1921 occupy the front seats, and tell us they had liked it. The spring brought plans for Junior Banquet to the front. All prepara- tions were made when two days' before Mrs. Vernon Kellogg, a member of the United States Commission to Belgium, spoke to us in Chapel, telling graphically the story of the suffering within the steel ring and particularly of the scarcity of food so that once more we asked each other, 'Can we spend this money for food when people are starving ? At an inspiring meeting of the class we resolved to make the banquet a one-course collation, donating the money saved from the other courses to the Belgian Relief Fund. The Seniors showed such a fine spirit of co-operation that the banquet of ice-cream and cake and strawberries seemed really a banquet. A little later, IQZI entertained us with a lovely May Fete given in the woods near Roland Park. Wfe stayed long after supper, and, sitting around a huge camp-fire in the moonlight, we sang and gave stunts and forgot that there was such a sport as boat riding on the Chesapeake. Daisy Chain re- minded us that only one more year would we be at Goucher. Back from a summer of farmeretting and war work of all kinds, we began our Senior year with high resolves to keep alive every single Goucher tra- dition. Very soon after the opening of college the signing of the armistice ended the war. At the end of the parade with which the college celebrated, when we were all gathered around the door of Goucher Hall, Dean Lord said that the four years which had been IQIQ,S four years' of college life had been the most momentous years of the world's history. We realized then how fortunate had been the lot of 1919 to have been able to give up some of her class life for our cause. 93331 gsm? .1351 Y- 46.176 4 ni, 'M i , .W . . . ,.

4 , jf -V K l FRANCES ELIZABETH BEARD, 109 South Broad Street, Waynesboro, Pa. MAJOR DEPARTMENT: SOCIAL SCIENCE. I had rather be a dog and bay the moon. It is impossible to give in one paragraph any completefconcep- tion' of the various forms Frances assumed. When Willie walked into the room or Nelson searched the hall for the barking dog, it was just Beardie. The size of her hands and feet also brought her fame. -- ' ANITA L. BIEMILLER, 4704 Garrison Avenue, Baltimore, Md. MAJOR DEPARTMENT: MATHEMATICS. Strength of heart and might of limb. Anita had a fatal gift Of agility of arm and limb that put her far above the reach of average athletes and made' her the inevi- table candidate for president of the Athletic Association. She further devoted herself to such varied interests as making speeches, mathematics, and being a good friend. . . .. . RUTH McKEE BRATTON, Corner Market and Juniata Streets, Lewistown, Pa. MAJOR DEPARTMENT: ROMANIC LANGUAGES. A penny for yourthoughtsf' We wondered what Ruth's thoughts were when that far-awav look came into her eyes. It may bethat' she was thinking in Spanish or French, or of melodies for the Mandolin Club, or of sweaters and socks for Red Cross, but we never.-could be sure, for she was almost equally interested in everyone. ' ' MARY VIRGINIA BURGESS. 'wI5.A1,1gl.1Sta Avenue, Baltimore, Md. MAJOR DEPARTMENT: ROMANTC LANGUAGES.- Merrz'ly, merrily shall I live now. In college Mary was demure and quiet, the sort of girl whom one expected to notice only in the classroom. It was whiSDered. however, by her intimates that away -from the academic atmos- phere of Goucher she discarded. her dignity and entered -whole- heartedly into having a gay good time. ' 26
