Alice Mary Wood A 1 LTHOUGH the city of Bradford, Massachusetts, can claim Alice Mary Wood, still Abbot is the only school that she cheers for and as the leader of the cheer- ing staff she makes it a howling success. She has always shown a strong class spirit and although she has a tendency to throw water on fires and alas ! on teachers, she has never thrown any on our brilliant class projects, but has always shown herself ready for a good time. To fully appreciate her you must hear her talk, especially in class meetings. Alice intends to travel next year, and will then return to Bradford and enter society, where the glory of our class will be nobly upheld in the home of our rival school, and 1900 is proud to be represented by this loyal enthusiastic member. 26

Edith Hilton Valpcy AMONG our eigh- teen members, Edith Hilton Valpey is the only girl who has the distinction of being born and bred in classic Andover. Un- doubtedly it was this intellectual influence about her, which gave Edith such a start of the rest of us girls, for in the very first recitation in Psychology, Miss Means called her a born Psychologist. Though 1900 will soon leave Abbot we do not feel that 1900 will leave Andover, for Edith we hope, will be here t o tell 1901 that though they do very well, they must not hope to try to reach the brilliancy 1900 attained. We feel sure that she will guard our interests with her usual care and watchfulness. 25

Mary C. Wuichct VW E wonder if the sun always shines in Dayton, Ohio. That is the impression we have of the city for otherwise how could Mary Catherine Wuichet always have such a sunny, laughing expression on her face ? The blackest thunder-cloud vanishes when Mary appears. During the two years she has been here she has been very prominent in athletics, being catcher on the 1900 Baseball team, and winning the championship in the bicycle races last spring. Mary often favors her particular friends with charming vocal selections, but the general public has no knowledge of her abilities in this direction. If Dayton should know all the Stirling qualities of Mary ' s nature she would have reason to be proud of her, as 1900 is. 27
