Leah Lewis “happened” at C. E. I. about five years ago, then merely an infant with all childish attributes. Since then she has become a dignified Senior, and she is certainly worthy of this station; for not only is she most industrious and conscientious about her lessons, but even in every-day pleasures an eager desire to help always is prevalent Her sweet and unselfish disposition has made many friends for her, but, judging from the daily fusses in Latin class, we know that her nature is not so sweet that it allows people to walk over her. We hope, however, that these frequent quarrels will not so affect her temper as to render her unfit for the duties of a nurse, since this now seems to be her one ambition in life. 16

o o o SJ □. Zi o When Mary Hughes made her first appearanc e at C. E. I., and started her brilliant career by making the honor roll, we all looked at her in wonder and admiration, and from that time we have never ceased to look at her in that way. Mary’s ability, moreover, does not lie en¬ tirely in lessons, for not only is she graduating in a college preparatory course this year, but she is also receiving a diploma in art. Mary’s talent as an actress, too, was notably displayed when she appeared in the production L ' Ecole des Belles-Meres.” Taking her sweet voice into consideration when she sings the class song, which she herself has composed, we ask what girl would not be proud to graduate with a class which possesses such a talented member? 15

Lois, our stylish girl, came to us last year, and even then her neat, stylish person was a joy to our eyes. Mrs. Willis herself remarks upon Lois’s style. On cold winter mornings she comes to the breakfast table calm, cool, and very neat, with her hair dressed in the latest fashion, while the rest of us ordinary mortals come dressed in anything at all with hair streaming in all directions. This alone proves that Lois is an exceptional girl. She has other good qualities, tact and plenty of it; she is also a good student and can afford no end of zeros to attend a dance; she is a steadfast friend, quite an exception here— but on this subject interview Sara. 17
