Hampas 195 Anna Felicia Bell Her wit bubbles over in rollicking Our admiration goes to Anna, because with amazing courage and frankness she tells us the truth in a deliciously witty way that is hers alone. Who, but Anna, with her laughing spirit and -witty tongue, would quite dare to tell you what you are? These very qualities, plus an abundance of energy and a gift for leadership, have en- deared her to the hearts of all and made her one of the high-lights of our class. And speaking of leadership, who made a better president of our famous Aquarium Club than Anna, who talked, slept, and ate fish !

Ruby Benrimo Oh, blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. Irresistible, contagious laughter! How refreshing to meet Ruby when you are dis- couraged, and to have gloom cleared away with her delightful gayety. Our Spanish Senorita holds a special niche in our memory, — memory that goes back to an assembly of our Freshmen days when Ruby became a troublesome school boy during a Spanish Club Assembly program, and back still farther with some of us to camp- ing days. In any situation. Ruby b ecomes fired with enthusiasm. Quick to act and pleasant to work with. Ruby is indeed a welcome addition to any group. How precious are the rubies which tint our college memories with rose-colored hues, and make them forever dear!

195 Hampas Doris M. Appleton I knoiv a reasonable woman Handsome and ivitty, yet a friend — ' ' Who has not walked into the locker room to find a group of girls convulsed in mirth, and Doris in their midst entertain- ing them with some amusing account of an incident, which, told by another, would be banal and uninteresting? Her laugh is the most infectious in the world, and it is a physical impossibility to be within ear- shot of it and maintain a sober counte- nance. Her animation and feminine grace inspire delight. Her unique impersona- tions make her one of the most individual and refreshing of companions. Although it is whispered that Doris is a social butter- fly, her studies are not neglected.

Lithe as a graceful sapling. Dashing about the Gym with hair flying, eyes sparkling, and cheeks flushed, Helen is in her element. Her prowess in ath- letics is amazing, and her interest never wanes. What surprises us, however, is the fact that such a tomboy can be so immaculate in appearance and so con- scientious and capable in her work. Per- haps this efficiency accounts for her success as Secretary-Treasurer of our Span- ish Club; in this capacity she has handled both notes and money with ease and com- petence. In sharp contrast to her athletic and studious tendencies is her pet hobby, the collection of smart hats, — an interest which gives her an opportunity to display her originality and good taste.

195 Pampas Augusta H. Bergson A loyal friend, a jolly companion. Gussie ' s love of and active partici- pation in sports of all kinds is a char- acteristic accompaniment of her boyish love of playing the game. She is a capable, tactful leader, and finishes all tasks successfully, no matter how hard they may be. Her friendly, pleasant man- ner makes her a very congenial person to work with. Everything Gussie does, she does in such a jolly way that she has en- deared herself to all of us. Her quick sympathy, her generous willingness to help her friends, and her comradely spirit light a warm glow in our hearts.

Butler Good sense and good nature must ever join. Helen is a shining example of the willing worker who seeks knowledge for itself alone. She follows the subjects of her chosen courses with creditable earnest- ness, and, of course, attains the admirable success which such effort deserves. In a quiet way, Helen takes keen pleasure in social affairs. She is very willing, too, to share in any fun. She has such sterling qualities as sincerity, loyalty, and per- severance, and we have no doubt that the future will make us proud of having en- joyed four years of pleasant association with her.
