Marion is the one member of our class who hails from New York. She has been with us for only two years; but, looking back upon the years before she came, we wonder how we got along without her. It was she who, in the final basket-ball game last year, threw the goal which won the cup for us. Marion is also good in her lessons (when she takes time from her numerous “cases” to study), and more than once would have made the honor roll if her deportment mark had not prevented. That she is musical is too well known to need mentioning, for her violin solos would tell us most plainly, even if Elizabeth did not continually remind us of the fact. 24

E, being among the first members, if not the first, of our noble elass to arrive, and since we alone are capable of setting forth the history of our fellow-classmates in an entertaining way (as you will see upon further reading), we have been given the honor of this task. Nineteen fourteen brought Natalie, Katherine, Edith, and Leah. Natalie came to C. E. I. under the protection of Lillian Smith, and was ever so wee a girl. She and Betsy roomed together, and such happy times as they did have 1 She has always been “our stylish girl,” even from the time she came in socks and short dresses. Katherine Redman has always been popular. Besides having the natural gift of woman, to be able to talk, she possesses the mysterious talent of prophesying the future. So woe to the person who tries to hide her faults, for Katherine can tell them to her without help or mistake. To quote a certain teacher, Katherine is brilliant. We, the members of her class, wonder if she can handle Park as easily as she handles Math. Edith simply belongs to C. E. I., for she first came to the school on the hill eight years ago. She always has a crowd around her eagerly listening to the doings of Chatham society. If it were not for Edith, we would never know the latest styles, nor the proper time to put on our new spring bonnets. Her manner here at school is always calm, and she answers even the most important questions in her own original drawl; but we “on the hill” wonder if she still drawls while entertaining the Chatham gallants. Leah is one of Chatham’s oldest and most faithful members. She came from the quiet little town of Philadelphia to enter Chatham society five years ago. Since she has been here, she has shown a great interest along musical lines, but we think in the years to come she will be found a white-clad nurse in a sanatorium. White, the joy and sorrow of our lives, came in September, 1915, and, although she lives eighteen miles away, she says that she did not see C. E. I. until the day she came to be an inmate. We wonder if that is true! Anyway, we know that the day she leaves will not be the last time she sees this school 26
