MARGARET BRANNIGAN ]cddo .(), NORMAI, COrRSK. Ye gods ! How she would talk ! ' She would talk ! (JRANXKiAX is one of our jolly Irish lassies. .She has the real Irish good nature, hut woe he unto you if M)U do anxthing against her will ! Nature graced her with a gift of gab, and she uses it, too. Margaret is specializing in the Cani] us Course. She nia ' be seen on the grass morning, noon, and night, in fair weather and foul. It has been stated — yes, and sworn to b ' good author- it -, that she has broken the hearts of several of the sterner sex since she has come to B. vS. N. vS The thing aliout Margaret that most excites our curios- it ' is, wh - does she like Miss Car]ienter the best of all the critic teachers ? Can it be that the name influences her? We feel sure that she will teach the twenty ears allotted us all b - Prof. Bakeless, if the many suitors evajiorate. Otherwise, even the two years look doubtful. In her we see the future Mrs. Pankhurst. EDITH M. BRAY-Jermyn I ' HII.O., V. V. C. A., XOR.MAl. CDlRSIi. Th ' modest - is but a candle to th - -irtue CM EVER has there been a more modest, quiet, and unas- C suming girl than Edith, If we beliex-ed e -er thing she tells us, we would think it impossible for her to do anxtliing worth while. However, her cla.ss and the Y. W. C. A. dis- covered her true value .soon after she came here, and she has become indispensable to their welfare. When Edith is given any work to carry out, you max- be sure it will be done thoroly, and in the best possible way. Ever since May Day, 1914, she has been noted for her executive abilit -, -and thereby hangs a tale ! Ivdith is ]ilanning to be a domestic .scienceress. This is just the work she is made for, and we prophesy that she will be one of the wonderful successes that Dr. Waller likes to tell about in Cha])el.

His prow- ess in athletics, together with other qualities peculiar to himself alone, made him an accom])lished heart-smasher. His record along that line is well-nigh nnequaled. His motto is : Have a sweetheart in everv ]X)rt, and he lives n ) to it remarkalil - well.

Father Brace wanted all his girls to .stay at home, but vSally, packing her little telescojie, and donning her plaid coat suit ana velvet hat sallied forth into the world to become a teacher of her fellowmen and to hel]i uplift the universe. In vain the call of the farm, the moo of the cow, and the cackle of. the hen. To Bloomsburg she must go, and here she is. vSarah is a g(iod teacher. Why, she even got a chance to teach geometry class one da - last year, and is quite an amateur in Shake.sperean plays. 20

Whenever you meet Mary, she has a smile and cheery word for yon. The greater bulk of Mary ' s mail for the past three months consisted of catalogues from various Women ' s colle- ges. She intends to spend her last single days in one of these institutions. In view of the fact that such was to be her doom Mary resolved for the remainder of her career at )end 30 minutes daily on the Campus. As yet her plan has not BEATRICE B.

She not onh ' likes it but .she ex- cels in that s]iort. e lielieve that is due to the fact that she has had such splendid ])ractice on the Na ' Aug Court at Scranton. Practice with such a congenial partner has made her an adei)t in the art. Through the loving devo- tion of the aforesaid partner, she has become an exjiert in holding down the tonneau of a touring car, ( no, not a Ford ) as it glides through the streets of vScranton.
