Gertrude May Lawrence ONE bright morn- ing in June, New- port, Vermont, was the scene of Gertrude May Lawrence ' s first ap- pearance upon the American Stage — of Life. She entered Ab- bot four years ago and ever since that time has been loyal to her class and school. Tall and dignified, she is chosen an usher on every occasion, thereby showing outsiders an example of an Abbot Senior. She is an enthusiastic member of the Base Ball team, and one of Gertrude ' s characteristics is, that she never says die until the game is lost. At the present time she is a homeless wanderer as her New- port home has been discarded and next year she expects to travel in order to test the society of different countries.

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.

Mary I. Morgan A capital girl from the capitol city, — that is Mary Morgan from Washington, D. C. What Abbot was before her we don ' t know, and what it will be without her we can not imagine, for from morning till night Mary furnishes us with music from her inexhaustible supply of Coon Songs. But her accom- plishments are not only in one line. For the past two years, Mame has been a member of the GleeClub, Chris- tian Association, and last year was Captain of our vic- torious Base Ball team. 1900 owes much to Mary Mor- gan and we shall consider ourselves fortunate to be repre- sented by her in Washington society next winter, where the fame of 1900 will be worthily upheld before the world ' s diplomats.
