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.

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.

26 The ALPHA 1917 Agnes M. Golden A mind at peace with all below A Girl on the Magazine Cover type ad- dicted especially to gray shoes and hosiery, georgette waists, and picture hats. Her eye- glasses (all kinds) and her height will be of use in maintaining discipline in the days to come, and her high ideals foretell happy days for the children who will be fortunate enough to claim her as teacher. Winifred A. Golden Courageous as the bird that dares the sea, Glad as the wind that bends the corn ' Our Neptune ' s Daughter has acquired strength and skill in combating the waves. She can well demonstrate everything from the breast stroke to the Australian crawl. She is not only speedy in water, but is quick in words, wit, and movement. Catch her if vou can. Eva Gordon Gladly would she lerne, And gladly teche Hail to the dispenser of l ettuce sandwiches! May we ever keep in her good graces! Eva is found most often in the depths of the Boston Public Library. Buried beneath books, she sits with an air of proprietorship at a desk all her own. Her affectionate heart is capable of worshipping at several shrines at one and the same time.
