EDYTHE MARIE EVANS. You smiled, you spoke, and I believed, Bu! every tvard and smile deeei'z'ed. Edythe is another one of those girls who is especially interested in cadets. lt is queer how shoulder straps appeal to the feminine heart. Edythe tells us she spends a great deal of time studying, but we notice that she hnds plenty of time to attend all of the Tech dances. But, se- riously, she is a mighty jolly girl, and we all like her. Ask her who her favorite Bible char- acter is. The bet is she'll say the slayer of Goliath. ALBA VON EZDORF. She could songes make and well eztditef' We may say of Alba what can be said of but a few people. She is absolutely dependable. lf Alba says she will do a thing, it is Ado or die with her. Because of this and other Hne char- acteristics, we know that she will make a fine teacher. During the coming summer, Alba ex- pects to spend much time gardening, a pastime to which she is much addicted. FRANCES FLEMING. Francois, A daughter of the gods, DZ-Z'lA726l3' fall and mosz' dizuffzely fair. Although Frances has always lived in Wash- ington, she seems to Find Annapolis a much greater center of attraction.

CATHERINE MILDRED DYKES. 'Tis the mind that .vlzines in every word. lYhat would we do without Mildred on these dreary school days when life begins to pall? For four years she has buoyed us up with her humorous remarks and witticisms, of which she commands an inexhaustible supply. Never would she let an opportunity pass in English without taking advantage to employ her analytical mind in interpreting such passages in the classics tBurke or Miltonh which no one else dared to attempt. MARY EASTLACK. Her eoive was ever soft and low, An excellent flllillg in a woman. Mary always slips in from her suburban home with a bunch of ilowers and a breath of spring. All the people who sit in her vicinity in school know her as that lovely girl with the gentle manners. H.-XTTIE MAY ENSIGN. Debating Team, 19123 President Literary So- ciety, 19123 Class Poetess. Earll1's noblest thing in ufoman perfected. Oh, Young Lochinvar is come out of the lVest -just in time to graduate with us and im- bibe the Central spirit which she has so success- fully upheld in this short time. For is not Hattie one of our Debating Champions, the genius of the Literary Circle, and, last but not least, our class poetess? You ought to see her step upon the platform to deliver her speech and smile upon the audience with her contented three- cornered smile. Our regret is that she could not have been with us longer than the one year during which she was one of ns. 26

ELLA GARDNER. Basketball Team, 1912. Bright gems instinct with musicis' vocal spark. Here is one of our athletic girls, Central's dreaded center, and also, during the latter part of the year, a noted high-goal thrower. Ella carries away with her a well-deserved HC. She has also a very sweet voice which leads the sing- ing in German class. Her bright, happy face mirrors her sunny disposition. MARIE E. GATCHELL. A mild and seemly maiden. Marie certainly did earn her popularity among her classmates of the February group, with her friendly disposition. Her gay laugh often broke out in the class room and only served to echo again her merry moods. JEANETTE GERSHANICK. fennie. And join both profit and delight in one. Jennie is fascinating as well as clever, and the more you know her the more you like her. New York was kind enough to send us this little maid. Jennie's star subjects are history and civics Creference, Mr. Lampsonj. She also takes a great interest in debate. When she leaves Central, she expects to take up a course in po- litical science, 28
