Doris Frances Ambrose I stand as one whose jeet at noontide gain A lonely shore; who feels his soul set free, And hears the blind sea chanting to the sun. Dashing in manner and chirography, Original in artis- tic composition, Rare in loyal comradeship. Individual in dress and tastes, and utterly Sincere in everything she says and does, Doris is the embodiment of the perfect college senior. Her absorption in good literature is sanely bal- anced by an interest in athletics; her shy composure is countered by spirited opinions. Doris never fails to re- spond to conversational bait; to talk with her is to enjoy unexpected wit and sage observation. We pay her the highest compliment we can proffer when we say that her company would never pall, even on Crusoe isle, for her personality is as varied and sparkling as the sea she loves so well.

Dorothea Catherine Ambrose And still the sweet half-solemn look Where some past thought was clinging. As when one shuts a serious book To hear the thrushes singing. Miss Dorothea is easily distinguishable from her sister Doris, in spite of the fact that they are rarely found far apart. We shall never forget their loving companion- ship and constant similarity of tastes, even in wearing the same rich shade of green. Dorothea ' s dignified sobriquet might lead one to imagine her somewhat like a Cranford lady, stiffly correct and stilted in speech and action. She is, on the contrary, a slim, tall maid with a flair for dress and a fondness for quiet laughter. Her sweet solemnity is saved from dullness by a small twinkle that lights her emerald eyes with rare jewel tones. A Naiad suggestive of the out-of-doors, and a blue sea faintly laced with foamy white, Dorothea is unforgettably poised ' though poseless, calm albeit refreshing.

ta iff Katherine Josephine Barry God grant that I may live upon this earth And jace the tasks which every morning brings, And nevei lose the glory and the worth Of humble service and the simpler things. Kay is famous for bridges. The Lampas Bridge of this year, the Science Club Bridge of last year, and the Bridge-tea in our Junior Week were all successfully chair- manned by the competent Katherine. We would gladly recommend her as an efficiency expert to any business firm, but we know that her quiet efficiency will be just as useful in the classroom. It has helped her all through college, as one may see by looking at her list of activities. To each of them she cheerfully and generously gave more than her share of time and energy; yet she had plenty of time to keep her scholarship far above average and to enjoy plenty of the dancing she loves.

Sara Frances Bazoll She had an understanding with the years; For always in her eyes there was a light As though she kept a secret none might guess — Some confidence that Time had made her heart. In a world overcrowded with people who want to be something, it is refreshing to meet a girl who always wants to do not anything, but many things. Does the Science Club want unusual appetizing refreshments, or the bowling team a high score, or the class support in one of its numerous activities? Sara is ready with a new kind of punch, or a number of spares, or a willing subscription to whatever the cause may be. Yet we feel that we were wrong in calling her a girl in our first sentence, for there is in her demeanor a stately womanliness that never is quite dispelled by the most exciting game. In the depth of her dark eyes lies a light that is centuries old, that will ever shine from the heart of one who has learned not only the art of good living but the secret of sympathetic loving.
