MARGARET O’NEILL liejiinniiij? with our Sopho- more year, Miss O’Neill took the place of the one and oidy “Guy” as head of our Latin Department and, during- her two years incumbency, it must be said that she tilled his place in a satisfactory and efficient manner. Merry- hearted and pleasant, she soon won a place in our hearts. N » one could “Get away with anythiiiif” on “Peii ' j;y, ' ’ how- ever, as many found to their soiTow. We htst her throu,ah marria te last year, and trust that lUiUTied life will be for her a pleasant voyasre. MARIE GIBBONS Miss Gibbons is that be- witchinjr young brunette who lords it over Room Eight with sm-li delightful sovereignity and severity. Everything she says goes, for who could re- fuse lierV We’ve taken French from “Marie” for two years: we wish it were twenty. You know, she’s that kind of a girl. Her ripiding humor, and h( r delicate, satiric thrusts w(M-e outstanding features of “Marie” in our mind, and th( se things, plus her undeni- able teaching ability, have made her acquaintance well worth while. We trust that Fortune will continue to smile on Marie in the casting of the lots, and that her i ath will be (»f a roseate hue. 12

ROLAND B.

Always a stick- le r for what be termed “the honorable way,” 1 h‘ was a safe liaveu and arbiter wlieuever our minds were i)u zled by ' ine (luestioii of honor or the like, and he settled it always for us in the ri ht way. Very iut(‘restiu! . his chis.ses were something- which we looked fcrvai ' d to with real i»leasure, and he was one of our best friends. Mr. Houston has the b(‘st wishes of all of us. NELLIE KENT We tirst became ac(niainted with Miss Kent in Sophomore y(ar, and since then, have spent many enjoyable hours in her comi any — usually in liei‘ P. iM. sessions. Miss Kent ' s knowledjie of “Math” is ])rofonnd, and when she yot on the trail of a poor, little, weak, abstruse problem in Alt?el)ra it just naturally threw up its bands and sui-- I ' endered. And as for Geo- metry — why she knew all I hose hard tlK ' orems by their pet names, and could actually make them jumj) rope. With such a teacher, we couldn ' t iK ' lp learn our “Math.” and it is with extreme gratitude fimt we lud fai ' ewell to our friend Miss Kent — and her 1 . . M. sessions. 11
