Carrie Starr Harmon THE State of Maine has always had prominent members in national circles and here in the class of 1900 there are two girls from that state. One representative, Carrie Starr Harmon, from Portland, Maine, has the unfortunate (?) failing of never losing her temper, and is popularly declared the best natured girl in the class. Last year Carrie was Treasurer of the Y. W. C. A., and was a valuable as- sistant in collecting Athletic dues. But she has abilities in other directions as well as in money matters, for last spring she was an able contestant for the tennis championship. We have heard that it is her in- tentions to remain in Portland next winter, and we add that a good time is undoubtedly in store for her. 9

y Lucy Atta Hamilton w HEN Lucy Atta Hamilton came from Quincy, Illinois, this year, and joined the ranks of Abbot Seniors, and became a member of 1900, the two other girls from the west greeted her with open arms, and Lucy became our third western girl. Though she has not been among us long enough to have held any class office, she has acquired a strong hold on our affections, and our last member is far from being the least in importance among us. Next winter Lucy will be in her western home and as we have seen her ability to have a good time here in Abbot, we feel safe in saying that Quincy will not be dull for her next winter, for the theatre is always available, and Illinois College is near at hand. 18

E 1 Edith Bryant Johnston DITH Bryant John- ston claims Man- chester, New Hamp- shire, as her home, and although she has never said so, we believe that I her sole reason for coming to Abbot was to satisfy, to as great a degree as possible, her unquenchable thirst for know- ledge. In all of her classes she has been a shining light, but the rays might have penetrated deeper had Edith not scorned Athletics so completely. She is a member of the Y. W. C. A., and served this year as its recording secretary. Edith ought to go to Bryn Mawr, or Radcliffe, but she says that her intention is to remain in Manchester, probably with the idea that Dartmouth may become coeducational.
