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.

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.

24 The ALPHA 1917 J. Alice Driscoll How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hourl Dainty and trim, her good taste in clothes is exceeded only by her good care of them. The joy of Mr. O ' Shea ' s heart because of the ease with which she manipulates breathing, tone placement, and facial expression, she is a staunch supporter of the choir. An active conscience is a sixth sense with J. Alice and keeps her up to the mark. Annie M. Ducey Winning her way with extreme gentleness A slender twig of the South Boston branch. Seemingly unaware of the havoc an apple once played, she innocently displays each day a temptingly scarlet specimen which she gener- ously shares with her neighbors. Her taste in other fruits is perhaps wiser, as demonstrated in her lesson on Mediterranean fruits. Katherine Dullea All things come around to him who will but wait Pronounced Dooley with a French accent. Katherine has been the fortunate possessor of a brother who loves football and sisters. This explains the fact that Katherine reads the sporting page intelligently. At any rate if she is not a cheer-ful person, her brother can not be blamed.
