A gentle temper, a soul even as a calm. 5tubby has grown thin in a heroic four- ,ears' struggle to keep peace in the halls of Pembroke. It is probably the reaction which causes her to whisper so violently in the Edu- cation class. In basketball and rushes to the lunch-counter she demonstrates the value of height. Alice may be slow, but she gets there just the same-'she spent a whole morning to delay Brun-Mziel elec- it, and put it back about two weeks. However, we bear no malice. Alice in looking up a rule tions, but she found believes in cultivating the intellectual values, but there is a rumor that she once cut a paper for the Crucible to practice basketball. Between intervals of making waists and quieting riotous Freshmen, she may be found lunching at her locker. Ruth says these lunches are goody we cannot personally vouch for them, never hav- ing partaken. Alice says she intends to take up pctlagoging next year. May shg practice the the precepts of S. G. A. Mabel also is an heritage from another class. She left college with long brown braids, and came back a year and a half later with short black curls. Mabel carries a load of subjects which would stagger an ordinary mortal. At any hour she may be found in the Public Library. She evidently has no decided views on any subject, for in spite of repeated urging, she has so far neglected to pass in her Senior slip. Mabel expects to teach, although she scorns liducation. She is a good friend and jolly comrade in spite of her many classes.

Komian Big Play C35 Her purpose in coming to Brown was, she says, to get the mental grip. She got it so thoroughly that she left ns for a year, in order to recover somewhat, and to become a member of the brilliant class of 1911. Stella is a jolly young lady who is always ready for a good time, and appreciates the funny side of everything, even a Latin 23 exam. As she holds the opinion that marriage is a lottery she will probably de- vote her allotted days to the class-room in the endeavor to instill into youthful minds the spirit of knowledge. lt is lucky for us that this was the only first grade college admitting women, near home or Sadie would not have been with us. Sadie is not the least bit fussy. She says she is going to teach, unless she finds something with more money in it. Since she believes that matri- mony is woman's vacation, we sincerely hope that there will be more money for her in this. Sadie was the Englishman in our Masque and has tried a hand at acting. NVe find her par- ticularly well adapted for roles in which an abundance of stature is called for. Her only fault is that she tries to rival the president of Student' Government.

Glee Club C35 C45 Alice is one of the Taunton trio. In her Sophomore year she left Colby to be leading man for the Komians. She won the prize in our lleauty Contest, although Jennie considers her merely pretty, and she herself says her head is too big for genuine beauty. At any rate, her mortar-board is two whole sizes larger than any other Senior's, and the difference isn't all due to brains. But Alice has a mission in life- just look at that chin!--its object is to make everyone join the Komians, and then borrow their friends' furniture for plays. She has a strange and inexplicable yearning toward Christy heads and Pawtucket Freshmen, al- though there is no noticeable connection between the two. She leads the Seniors to chapel, and once, in her eagerness to see if they were fol- lowing in a straight line, slipped down a whole Hight of stairs. Her future yearnings are divided between Simmons and teaching. She.came to Brown from Bucknell College, and at first became a member of the class of 1912, but finding that her intellectual powers entitled her to a place in the ranks of IQII, she became affiliated with us, for which we are duly glad. According to her own statement, she is a grind, at least in endeavoring to digest the contents of Iudd's Psychology,,' but although she is a conscientious worker, we cn- tertain no serious anxiety that' she will break down from over-study. She is never cross, and her plaintive voice oft breaks forth into melody which floats through the corridors of Miller Hall. Beth has two grave faults-she cannot see a joke, and she is subject to thrills, College education is helping to remedy the for- mer, but the thrills seem to be incufilllle- After acquiring true culture at Brown, Sl1C hopes to take up the work of educating lllc young.
