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

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

MARGCARET CHASE From out among the strains of uke club choruses there echoes a voice of real Down Fast quality. Margaret cer- tainly does like lovel-ly music. Perhaps that is the reason why she succumbs so readily to French cadances. However, in the realm of Economics she is supreme, as she alone knows where roses can be bought for $1.00 per dozen. Because of her front- row prominence in classes, and her ability at the typewriter, Marg. i1s bound to be a Maine feature in life wherever she goes. HELEN COLLINS Piclure to yourself one of those attractive fluffy-rufle girls with a little curl over each ear and hat over one eye. She fairly radiates woman. A look into her diary would tell you this. By the way, it is just as well that she lives off campus for the col- lege would never be able to furnish enough mid-night oil by which to write this diary and her many letters. It would be perfectly possible for her to dance her way through life, she does it so welland to only stop long enough to compose some of those catchy little songs which have made her famous in the annals of 1920, HENRIETTA COSTIGAN A whiff and a whirl, and we have Henriflashing over the floor with true Spanish dash and style. The Carmen look in her eye'n everything! She has a breeze there's no deny- ing that even to the point of loosing her temperyea, even to the point and pinacle of bobbing her hair-but that is the part we like about her. The don't touch me, for you never can tell what I'll do, is her fascination. 32 . e
