22 The ALPHA 1917 Helen J. Carey Did as she pleased and went her way Another Helen. She has conquered into ab- ject slavery a man feared by many. Hers was not a sudden glory; it was accomplished by patient and daily practice in the arts of con- quest. But when once he saw, he marvelled, — A. N. Palmer marked her examination 99%. Sarah E. Cohen There is no such word as fail An easily accessible authority on Hebrew manners and customs, and a sort of general encyclopedia of all knowledge. She may be little, but her bump of pugnacity is prominent enough as may be witnessed in any gymnasium game. Katherine E. Craig A penny for your thoughts Katherine is the ideal type for teachers. Tall, neat, dignified, she still has a ready smile and a readier sympathy. She will always have the respect of children, for they cannot help looking up to her.

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.

1917 The ALPHA 23 Leonore F. Davis Be gone, dull Care; thou and I shall never agree A fly-away, who overflows with knowledge by not being studious; who is brilliant without trying to shine; who would rather talk than eat, but manages to do both ; and who will never settle down into a prosy school ma ' am, we hope. Catherine R. Day Twenty-four hours of cheerfulness The pleasant day is not more full of sunbeams than our Day is profuse with smiles, and June twenty-first has not more hours of brightness than Catherine daily brings us. Marie C. Doherty In temper amorous as the first of May From childhood this young lady has held that her name entitles her to a place among those who read French books with copious vocabularies, who recite irregular verbs with much prompting, and who, at last, can say with true Gallic accent, Parlez-vous francais? Marie ' s dream has been realized — but not because of her name — for in the French class Marie is called Renee.
