She pathetically remarks that Education has somehow missed her, bill that applies only to the kind spelled with a capital E, with some numbers after it. Bessie is one of those busy people to whom everybody always gives everything to do, sure of getting it done. She is specializing in Sociology, German, Jour- nalism, Debating, and Brnn-Macl grinds-sulr jects arranged in order of importance-with a little Philosophy and English on the side. She says that she is going to marry a millionaire and die, bcqueathing her wealth to Pembroke for the purchase of benches for the campus. After graduation she intends to do anything that comes her way. The two statements, however, are not inconsistent. NVe arlmire Bessie's al- truism, bttt we do not want her to die-we want her to write German books on Sociology, edit the jokes in Life, and generally reliect credit upon us. Rufus appears very denture, but it is merely a habit. When occasion demands-and some- times when it doesn't-she can air her views pretty forcefully. She is Marjorie's other self: Freshmen are generally unable to tell them apart. Ruth subsists mainly on Anglo-Saxon verbs, with a little Education thrown in. Her principal oc- cttpation is haling Seniors to class meeting, and counting those assembled: in this way she 11115 acquired a great deal of practice in mental arith- metic. She expects to teach it next year, by the way. Ruth knows all the sorrows of the com- muter, for she travels daily to and from Paw- tucket. She came to Brown to bc at home, which is probably the reason why she takes courses coming at 4.30.

Blrrur filllauhr lltlrhrll iiusxm Let gentleness my strong enforce- ment be. Junior Promenade Committee H35 Class Social Committee C35 ilirlrn Nrturll Blrll . .. '..'.t A maid of good repute and estimation. Irene is an Educated lady, and bencves in taking time by the foreloek: last year she was one of the two girls who attended a '1'eache,-S' Convention. She wears the sensible garments educators recommend. Although she lives next door to Pembroke, she prefers the Library and the History Seminary, where she catches all the H's Billy Mae tosses out to the class. When Irene has any project on hand, she asks every- one's advice, and then does as she had intended to all along. Her confiding air makes every fact she imparts seem of mighty moment. If she keeps this habit next year her pupils will rise up and call her blessed as exams approach. Helen is one of those deceptive persons who appear very quiet until you know her. Under the cheering influence of a cup of tea and pleas- ant eompany, she waxes eloquent. She is de- voted to German, and almost every day sees her upon the Campus, hurrying to the German Sem- inary or to Wilson Hall. She also garners many of A. l3.'s H's. Helen is a pleasant neighbor in class, for she keeps her opinions to herself, and to her note-book, which is always at everyone's service. Her fondness for cats and embroidery is inordinate.

Born in India, having studied in London and Pm'iS, Wllh V11CHli0nS Spent in traveling on the Continent, she now keeps house in Providence, and duns Brun-Mael debtors. Like all good Parisians, she hates the German tongue. Flossie can do anything from running a Brownie stunt--where she DI'0111pts the chief demon from behind the scenes-to making people pay up in any of the many societies she happens to be collecting for at the moment. Every board is glad to receive Flossie as a member, because she does all the things every- one else can't. But when she looks dcmurely at your belt-buckle and listens to your tale of woe, bewarel she is laughing in her sleeve at you. Gertrude early rose on our horizon as a bright star and has brilliantly shone forth ever since. Her nickname is HG. This is rather hard, for in ordinary college lan!-Tuilge GU would stand for grind. However, Gertrude is not any ordin- ary young lady and since she came to college, G has come to stand for genius, and we look up to her for all that is intellectually good. She has garnered almost all the prizes that have been offered the last four years and no one ever seriously competes when Gertrude is in the field, for we know the worth of hcr mind. Her work on the Sepiad Board has been of the highest order, and as a member on the board of this book, she has been a zealous and valued worker. She is the author of hcr class sonnet and rglx looks forward to an unexampled outburst of the poetic fancy when Gertrude fills the position of class poet, to which she has been unani- mously elected.
