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.

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.

1917 The ALPHA 25 Louise K. Faul There is in souls a sympathy with sounds Her name is a contradiction. It is the sound of birds in the Spring we always heard in her songs. She is our dark gypsy — but she never begged; it is we who implored her mercy, for she guarded the sandwiches at the lunch counter. Anastasia Ford She was active, stirring, all fire, Could not rest, could not tire The primary cause of Henry ' s popularity. Praise of Ford among the undergraduates was soon seconded by the faculty — even by Mr. Packard — and through gymnasium meets, the enthusiasm has reached the general public. This is the first time the really authentic report of the rise of Ford has appeared in print — news- paper stories notwithstanding. Another thing needs correction in the public mind, — it has often been hinted that the musical outburst of a Ford in hard play is an ill omen. Let it be known that the sweet but piercing note is but a cry of victory. It means she ' s got it and it ' s time to cry, Rah for Ford! Edwin a M. Goff ' ' Her heart as yet unpierced By the blind Archer-god Our dark-eyed exponent of le dernier cri as represented by Harper ' s Bazar, Vogue, and the Pictorial Review. But susceptible as our femi- nine hearts are to the lure of a chiffon rosebud, a beaded purse, and black bangs, Edwina ' s greatest claim to our affections is her contagious giggle.
