MARY BRADER Our linle Bloody Bolshevik from Pennsylvaniaher ten- dencies for reforming are reflected even in herself, by way of a Sunday hair comb that inspires us weekly. Though not a Pole, Mary shares with that race a hatred for excess consump- tion of food and love for freedom of thought, speech, and soul. As Americanization leader her ability for arranging inter-racial teas for the young and the old has been particularly noticed lhi's' yearbut her main charm lies in her melodious boy soprano voice which quality she all too rarely displays. Brader's smile never says dieher disposition is the sun itself and we picture her as a hand-maiden to settlement life and activities. HELEN BROWNE Although Helen did leave us for a year, the spirit of C. C. and the class of 1920 still held charms for her, and she came back to us ready to declare that C. C. was the only place after all. But harken,a second Tetrazzini warbles through the halls of Plant, Gladie, oh Gladie! And we have visions of a disastrous roller-skating party long ago! Ask Helen what she intends to do when college days are over, and a voice answers behind the veil, Avoid nine-thirty trolleys on Sunday mornings. ANNA BULLER We have heardindirectlythat mediums have told Anna that she is mischievous, but we cannot tell whether she is to be blamed for this characteristic or not. We do know, however, that she is a most reliable little excuse me!she does like to be called little person and, if something must be put through, she will see that it is. Just recall the Spanish Club Play. T-hc only trouble with Anna is that she can not do lhmg!: quickly enough when once she gets started, and it is especially advisable never to make her wait when she is headed in one particular direction. It is hinted that she bewitches the men with those twinkling ark eyes of hers. How could she help it? We can't resist them ourselves. 30

HARRIET ALLEN A crush on Harry! Of course! Everyone has had one at come time or other. But how can we help it? If looks spoke louder than words one would rather be Harriet than an orator. Even when she scolds it is enjoyable! Athletics is her forte; basketball, baseball, soccer, cricket, hockey, section or class game find Harry often as Captain playing with skill and efficiency. Clever sketches and original designs are her hobby 'the artistic realmbut in education class the ultimate answer is re- ferred to her. As an agency for dispensing sympathy and kindness in FRANCES BARLOW F. F. Barlow, known in Canada as Fife, is a little thorough- bred. Her artistic temperament is predominant in the art room no less than in her costumes. She always is called to put the finishing touch on a garment, thereby making it true to type. At social functions she lends atmosphere, and her generosily in furnishing men for men-less girls is an established fact at all dances. Student Government has found in her an able asset. As coxswain on the class crew she did her duty, nobly throw- ing pailfuls of water on the gasping members, thereby adding weight and motion to the boat and insuring a certain victory. If nymphs or dancers of any kind are needed, Frankie is aure to be one, and with her startling interpretations, she strikes wonder to our hearts. thought or deed, and as a well rounded, typically ideal col- lege girl, Harry is unequalled on campus. AGNES MAE BARTLETT She will flirt behind her fan At you because you are a man. But have you ever scen those eyes? They don't show up so well in this picture but oh my, ask the army or the navy, but don't tell it to the marines. Practically speaking, she's greatly interested in sewing and makes many lunchcon sets and we guess it is because Peter has been caught at last. Dear C. C. is pretty lucky to have this China dolly and canteen worker. 29

MARJORIE CARLSSON Veamos!Nous avons ici! Marjorie Carlsson, our out- standing linguist, with great proficiency in both French and Spanish. Her dramatic ability is also remarkable and note- worthy, for she made her debut Freshman year and has been captivating her audiences ever since. Marge is thoroughly ambitious; always hitching her wagon to a star. This won- derful desire to get on and improve herself makes her accom- plish much more than her ordinary strength would permit her to do. We all admire her keen mind, her pluck and courage, and genuine consideration for others. MAUD CARPENTER If there's a meal to be cooked, Maudie cooks it. Yumee Yum! It's great! If there's a sweater to be made, Maudie makes it. Oh, girll It's good-looking! Maud has lots of everyday common-sense, but her talents aren't confined entirely to the realm of the practical, for she can tweedle-dee' and tweedle-dum very effectively on the violin. She is a Johnny- on-the-spot with an answer when asked any question concerning music. Her sense of humer is delightful except when her namesake is abused, when she is called endearing names, or when she has to wait for somebody,then her quality of pa- tience is a little strained. Ssh! our musician has a pet fear and a pet ambition: 1, she is afraid of falling in love with a short man; 2, she wants to conduct a home for old men as her life- work. Whatever she does, we wish her success! ELLEN CARROLL A ripple, a gurgle, a giggle and finally a full grown, inex- haustible laugh. Enter Ellen, bubbling over with ideas, and flashes of temper and laughter for the sake of emphasis. Twould be a sorry day for this sunny hearted daughter of Erin if this were not a country of free speech. We can not make Ellen mad by smiling at her naive frankness in speaking up to s'press herself, and we hope to make her glad by our enthusiastic ap- preciation of her class spirit and staunch loyalty to 20. 31
