20 The ALPHA 1917 Agnes L. Benson Young, gay and fortunate Bennie is inclined to be masculine, as her nick- name indicates, and as her muscular force, felt in the gym, affirms most strongly. She is always out for a good time and usually succeeds in getting what she is out for. She has yet to refuse a favor asked of her. Agnes G. Brennan Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides Our treasurer, but she doesn ' t carry all the money in the little gray bag. The function of that receptacle is the completion of the famous neutral harmony so well developed by the skil- ful modiste herself. Among other accomplish- ments, she rags the scale in a way truly her own; she can sketch a caricature on any note- book; she can have a good time in and out of school, and still stand high in her studies. Abigail F. Burke She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant to think on. Our Pitcher of the famous Baseball Nine, chairman of the illustrious Pim-mim-mip, and once a teacher in the Marble State. This last for the benefit of those who erroneously think that maple sugar is the sweetest thing that ever came from Vermont.

1917 The ALPHA 19 Hilda L. Anderson Neat, but not finical Hilda has always had the honor of being first on every alphabetic list, and being, there- fore, frequently called on first in class, has dropped into the habit of knowing her lessons. To her Swedish origin she owes her blonde hair, her artistic ability, and her scientific tendencies. Her wholesome smile, however, is wholly a South Boston product. Will a M. Ashton It is better to wear out, than to rust out Our Camp Fire Girl, who loves the open and all that savours of it. An adept in the art of making middies, catching fly balls, and stringing beads. This last will be a veritable godsend when educational busywork has first place in her mind. Annie F. Barry Her coming was a gladness A human adding machine not yet on the market and an excellent illustration of the art of blushing. Capable of tremendous energy, willing to serve and able to give good service, possessing a hearty laugh, a good remedy for the blues, twin sister to Billie. You can tell a man by his company.

1917 The ALPHA 21 Katherine C. Burns Silence is golden No, Katherine does not burn. She is so cool, and calm, and quiet that no one would ever accuse her of setting the world afire. But that ' s our school version. Those fortunate enough to enjoy her friendship outside are not so certain that Katherine has eyes only for books. Ruth I. Byrne Come and trip it as yon go On the light fantastic toe. The fire of genius; the artistic temperament without the least accent on the first two syl- lables. She is our Pavlowa minus the Russian surname, our Bernhardt minus a few score years, and our Margaret Foley minus the soap- box. Success to her, our highly accomplished! Louise F. Carangelo Patient to perform A stout supporter of the Italian players, and a valuable collector for the treasury department. When all else had failed, Louise, emulating her famous countryman, found a way. Her way is still a mystery, but the nickels and dimes she collected were very much in evidence.
