We thoughl Gret came from Bolland, bul guess we ' re mistaken, for she ' s from a good 1 I Boston suburb. We were all sorry that the Bradford Basket-ball game never came off, as Gret surely would have saved the day for us by the nifty way in which she can toss baskets. Then how she can play the piano! X le could ever get as much pep ' out of that instrument as Gre1 can. Here ' s to you in the future, Gret — we know you ' re glad the war is over. There was « young lady named Gretchen Whose charms we all think ir - must fetchin ' ; In jazz sht ' s right there, and the girls all declare Thai it is exceedingly cat chin ' . MARY VAIL BUTTON . Button Brandon, Vr. me year. Wellesley Colleg Peabl lives on the top floor i ?) and is one of the heavenly quadruplets. The stairs haven ' t wrought any miraculous changes in Pearl ' s figure, either. Incidentally this same un- seemly plumpness was gained at Abbot. Mary is a good exam- ple of before and after. By the way. she objected strenuously to being called Pearl, but we jusl could n t resist it. Oh, Wary, Want, you ' re no fairy, For now you ' re a true Abbot girl.

Ix future years we may find tbat Mary has acquired great wealth by her strict observance of the old saying. Silence is golden. Mary is very efficient and has many friends to vouch for her capability. Strange as it may seem that a girl should be fond of her home, Mary has a decided warm place in her heart for Worcester. Mary is a quiet lass, Full of ideas ' Yes, she is. Hare you ever tasted tier rales. All of them just up and rizt 8
