In memory of Louis Adolphe Coerne, composer, whose spirit lives in rhythm and sound; in Hiawatha; in Zenobia, in song, anthem, hymn, impromptu, sonata . and in Excalibur, the symphonic poem which erowns his work and which, born among us in the twilight of death, triumphantly proclaims the artist's faith: I have fought the good fight. In memory of Dr. Coerne, our friend and teacher, whose patience delighted us; whose firm kindness held us to the highest endeavor; whose indefatigable talent challenged us to creative effort and filled our campus with music.

Miss IJrene Nye If you are the kind of person who, when at a banquet serews her paper napkin into hand-made lace in anguished sympathy with the speakers, then and then only can you appreciate Dean Nye to the full. When she responds to the call to speak, you observe her smile and her wit, and you relax. You unwind your legs from those of your chair, you stroke your moist brow, you smooth your torn finger nails, and you prepare to enjoy yvourself. All is now well! In fact, Miss Nye seems to have an aura of that all is now well feel- ing. No matter how difficult a situation, academically or morally, you find yourself in, she meets you with a sense of justice and a sense of humor. If your favorite professor takes a sudden loathing to the color of your hair and throws you out of her classyou go to Miss Nye. If your life is in danger, your millions lost, your career hanging in the balance, or merely your schedule unfortunate-you go to Miss Nye. In fact, we have secretly nominated our Dean for Vice-President of the Universe! 13 Tt 'L'WJ i m,f?u M -...-..--.-- Miss Carnline Adair Blark persomiies impenetra.ble poise.

Personally we feel a strange awe when we hear of Money and Bank- ing, or Labor Problems. They bring up pictures of impressive marble palaces decorated with pleasant gentlemen wearing efficient expressions as they count millions of dollars behind the iron grating; or pictures of masses of laborers and capitalists arguing in Boston Common. We must be wrong, though, because Daddy Doyle seems unharrassed as he bows gallantly to us and talks quite normally of this or that, 15 OFFICERS President 5 . Julia Warner Vice-President .

And we spent the first few months acquiring strange information and stranger tastes. We discovered that unless the sheep skin be introduced between the breast-bone and the hurri- h would follow. We developed an unwholesome and skulking for fish chowder. We learned that the front row of the Lyceum he Lyceum in those balmy days, offered exceptional opportunities e the technique of drum-playing and to count the safety pins and h of the stars.

The Juniors, in gay abandon, flap their arctics, but quite without malice. The forty-three Seniors scowl their fiercest, snort their loudest and hold a meeting. The Junior ankles immediately shiver in their open foot gear. The Juniors stoop very lowly and closely clasp those galoshes around those cold, slim ankles.

She has worked faithfully and has shed tears of blood for the News, as well as for the Latin play, in which she car- ried one of the main parts. When Adam puts her shoulder to the wheel, the wheel turns. During her four years her attitude . has mellowed ; she is less aggressive in and more catholic in her contacts. She has a grasp on that hing called method and on that more essential thing called sensi- surealthough we know that for these words she would tear out n as large tufts as she could graspthat Adam is one of those lome-makers to whom our President occasionally refers. Most ate we can imagine her warming carpet-slippers on the hearth! 22 CARMELA ANASTASIA Carmela's coming here was heralded to upper classmen in such ways as the following: Have you heard about the Math genius who's living at Dr. Leib's ?? And ever since then Carmela has managed to keep the sympathies of the college arousedchemical explosions, fractured kneecaps, the skidding of roller-skates. Yes, we sympathized with her even when she cut the clicks off K. Culver's heels. Carmela is our highest exponent of scholarship and industrious labor. Yet in spite of her academic application, she seldom misses a dance. She has been known, in the past, to make triply sure of having her invitation ac- cepted by the simple expedient of asking three men. All three accepted, Carmela being unable to differentiate, rose to a state of high tension and nervous excitement, when suddenly Fate took matters into her own hand- and Carmela injured her knee. Carmela's athletic ability is nothing to be sneezed atshe is perfectly at home on a hockey field ; her indomitable energy makes her an opponent to be feared. Great things have been predicted for Carmela along the lines of the medi- cal profession and there is every reason why she should continue along the way of success. 1 23 FLORENCE J. APPEL Flossie really needs no remarksthe hysterical giggle rumor has it that she caught it from her room-mate, the scraping of a Vic day and night, the scuffle of dancingthese, combined with a mixture of the undetermined noises that have escaped through the walls of 308 Branford for the past three and a half yearsyea, are not these jubilant echoes enough to advertise abroad the hospitable nature of Flossie J., who gathers around her all those souls with similar tendencies toward noise, atmos- phere, and glimmers of intelligence. man year remains for the most part an unchronicled mystery; ore we can remember only her constant threats to bob her hair, n one square inch of pestilent bangs; her Junior year was one ife to annihilate any robust superfluity of form. We cherished the loss of tonsils might somewhat modify the commotion this Big Bare Barn, but Flossie is not to be so easily subdued, for uch as we hate to admit it we can secretly be thankful. cult to imagine what Florence would be without a demon room- 1d needless to say we much praise Ethel for keeping her away from evious pathways of sin violation of Stu. G. Rules included. 24 MURIEL ASHCROFT There is one very definite thing about Murielshe lives in Vinaland when anyone lives in the cottage, nothing else is very definite to the campus dweller. For four years Muriel has occupied a totally unique place in our class. She has led the long staggering lines of our gym class. It is not because her name begins with an A but rather because of her great and tremendous height. Ahwe must have our little jest, yea, even at the expense of Muriel's height. She left us some time during our course to resume her allegiance to Adelphi. But sc strong a hold did C. C. have on her loyalty that she returned unto the fold to the joy of all and the utter delight of the other two of the triumviratePadelford, Mader, and Ashcroft. 3-1 o HELEN AVERY Onece an artistic soul with a predilec- tion for discovering true worth in under classmen exclaimed, Do you know Helen Avery is beautifulshe has the most perfect complexion on cam- pus I This was supposed to be a breath- taking revelation, but unfortunately for the dramatic effect, it wasn't. The News, annual honors, The Quarterly, various and sundry sorts of athleticsby these signs do they know her. They have served to show her de- sire to not only keep up existing stand- ards, but to raise them, her conscien- er ability to do a number of things. If it were only possible to fun at Helen for some of the less serious moments of her life, spent her four years off campus, thus keeping aloof from the 'd. She looks as though she viewed the foibles and frivolity of generation from afar, as though its sinsas she glimpsed them ace on Council, were completely beyond her comprehension e were shocked behind her glasses at their existence. 26 ETHEL AYRES Ethel is one of those small but, oh my! persons, and incidentally is quite the essence of that unruffled dignity be- coming to a Senior, to say nothing of a House President. This dignity is not lacking even in such difficult circum- stances as the maintaining of diplomatic relations among the Blackstonites. She's pretty, she's sweet, She's clever, she's neat enforced by a string of flattering adjec- tives, is in keeping with those senti- J ments generally expressed in most write-ups, in most class books. One should continue: Everybody likes her; she's dainty, demure, sweet and gracious. Contemplating the four years without herwell, the idea is impossible! and so on. But, after having made up our minds not to write the usual stuff this year, we are forced to exercise our rights and change it. Ethel really is all the nice things they write about girls who often really aren't. 27 MARJORIE BACKES Three o'Clock in the Morning was written with 1i'l Backes as its inspira- tion or it should have been. She exists for Fridays. Her days are filled with letters and week-ends are the fruits thereof. New York to Boston seems a popular refrain with her. After one of her jaunts she likes to make up for lost sleep in the bathtub. It saves time, but Minnie becomes wor- ried and lifts her voice in anguish until Marge replies wearily, Awri. Wus the rush? Queen Marge stuck her finger in '25's ir and brought out a glorious handful of young green birds or was it 26?7 Anyway, Branford immortalized it the glorious n a string of dolls at a party. sorned art of bluffing is carried by our plump classmate to an ttainment.

Just before an entertainment, she calls the other ladies togther, gently flatters them into a asm on the spot, applauds, dashes off for a week-end and salves nce by the lovely write-up in the News afterward. It went off dear, what more do you want ? i, I wish you could see the letter I got Dbelieve in ripples on the surface. We y see the depths underneath-when the her. 28 HELEN BARKERDING We know that Freshman year Helen was a member of the far-famed Weaver House. Just what Weaver was famed for we have never exactly understood- anyway one time Helen found the atmosphere tootoo, well something. So she made a somewhat protracted visit on campusJust why, we were not absolutely sure. There are things that we do know, however. Helen can talkshe has a special mastery of English, knows what she wants to say and says it. We have heard her argue with Beany with a certain sense of awe at her almost uncanny ability; we have watched her talk her way through classes; we've heard her chatter gaily in several years of Comedy. OhComedywhat under heavens would last year's Comedy have been without Helen's voice, her enthusiasm to instill into it some sparks of actual vitality. Her Voice ?There are many people on campus who sing but few who possess voices. Many otherwise desperately dreary hours in classes in Branford Basement have been charmed into blissful oblivion of the dullness of the subject by hearing Barkerding taking her vocal lesson in the next room. This year, although people tried to dissuade her from accepting the position, because of her voice she was elected college cheer leader, Rather goes to show her excellent spirit. And the Spanish Clubwhat would it have been without Helen? She was its president; acted in its plays; and entertained the meetings with Spanish songs. She does other thingswe cant remember them allanyway she's engaged to a man with a cun- ning little moustache. mm MILDRED BEEBE Do I dare cut my Saturday A4M class and go home Friday night?' How often have we heard Beebe ask this question, as her thoughts drifted home- ward to Storrs? Her strong point is diligence and faithfulness to duty. Her weak point is that of Week-ending. Can the attraction be C. A. C.? We wonder ! Beebe's two interests lie in the fields of Library work and Romance lan- guages, although this year we have no- ticed that Bryce accompanies her wherever she goes. ppears to the majority of poeple to be very quiet, but to those who she is as lively as anyone, and whoever wins her friendship is faithful and sincere comrade. Her interest and devotion to her ot escape notice, and we are sure that success will follow her s in whatever field her work may lead her. 30 MARIE LOUISE BERG Fame travels faster than her favor- ites and Miss Berg's reputation as it preceded her sounded a little like the winner of Photoplay's Beauty and Brains Contest. But being a sceptic by nature and a cynic by cultivation we doubted. Came a night, however, when the reality followed the reputation into . Plant living room. Since cynicism had not quite supplanted our natural curi- ' osity we elongated our swan-like neck and peered through the glass doors. We had a glimpse of a very delicate profile and a lot of dark curly hair. Through our teeth we muttered grudgingly, Yes, she is pretty! And as we drew out of sight, but not out of earshot, we were followed by a clear voice and the most delicious enuneciation in the world. With the beauty self-evident, we lingered to disprove the brains. But by comparison, we felt ourselves like a half-witted earth-worm with a bad cold in his head. And so we surrendered! 31 '. e JEssIE N. BIGELOW We dont know anything about her lurid past except that she evinces an avid interest in press clippings all per- taining to the society pillars of her home town, Washington, D. C. She likes peaked hatsbecause they are different and because anyone else would be shot at sunset for thrusting the extraordinary specimens in our line of vision. When it comes to a play, Jessie can coach it beforehand, pull the curtain on the fateful night, prompt behind scenes, wax humorous over the audience and come dashing on herself for a choice bit of characterization, then she re- treats for morbid introspection - the effort had been weary, flat, stale and unprofitable and finally n time to hiss to the electrician, Lights! n work herself into a perfect shade of Dante, sleep a week-end and ith her affection for the human race restored. onally she makes the rounds with the information that she has to do until Thursday.

BIRCH We all have spells of hating our names and making desperate efforts to change them. Mary changed hers to Maeat a timeso she divulges to a few select friendswhen she was young and knew no better. Perhaps she im- agined herself a second Mae Murray who knows? College changes one so we are told, and Mae has been trying unsuc- cessfully for the past four years to rid herself of the acquisition of that nick- name. Mae on Council? You gasp. What about Freshman year?the hoarding housethe But that belongs to the past, as 'twere. Mae lives in Win- throp and has followed its virtuous ways. The Mae, Jean and Minnie of Freshman year were soon replaced by that immortal trioMae, Ray and Gay and later by Mae, Helen and Ethel. Rumor has it that Unk has taken the place of a career. We only hope that in her wild rush of bridge parties and club meetings, she remembers to fly home in time to be the charming hostess at his evening meal. P:Am 5 o - M J-Q, BERNICE BOYNTON With very brown eyes and a very determined chin Bea came to us from the great west in our Junior year. Then Bea took hold and despite a Freshman roommate, worked with us in every way and boosted our athletic rec- ord to a considerable degree. This year Bea has dominated the sec- ond floor of Blackstone. Any morning of the week and suite gives forth odors of bacon and coffee and the tea pantry is constantly overflowing with Thames picnic baskets and Mad, Merial, Jinny and Betty and Bea of course., w a few Juniors who will miss Bea's good friendship and capable ext year. Y e f 1 34 DIANA BRETZFELDER Diana comes from that good old city of Elmsand of Yale. Dancing eyes aslant, carefree, she wends her terpsi- chorean way. Mail, men, dances, week- ends, homewe never manage to see much of her. After reigning for two years as champion bellower of the corridors of Blackstone, Diana suddenly decided to cultivate her soprano. Many a time has she caused the inhabitants of Blackstone to groan in their agony of suppressed desires, as she accompanied Cohen on the piano. Diana's high-pitched squeal of delight always announced that the mail had come. This year, however, we have to time the mailman ourselves, for Di has moved off campus. We wonderare rules not so stringent where Di lives now? MARY LOUISE BRISTOL Mary Louise Bristol, the name seems to ripple forth as does her laughter, upon all occasions. She is a most im- portant member of the famous Home Circle that markets, cooks, sews, and discusses its future husbands, for it is, as a body, engaged. Once in a while she has lapses from this diligent domes- ticity and is one of our most reliable team members. She looks harmless with a hockey stickbut she isn't. Either you remove your shins from her path or she removes a part of them for . you, retaining her gentle expression all . Since Freshman year when we lived in Thames attic with Olive especially when .; Zhgr hair has attracted great attention and praise s in a long braid down her back. You could very easily imagine her y Godiva to perfection. a bit exclusive or elusivesomething that means she's well known a fewa splendid characteristic but most bafling to him who would her. 36 ANNA BUELL Anna is athletic. There can be no doubt about it, nor would we refute it if we might. Anna is athletic from the moment she bounds out of bed in the morning, until she leaps down the halls at night. She had a coy little habit of thrusting her head and shoulders into anyone's room, quite indiseriminat- ingly, and without regard for the occu- pants, and calling Hello in a nice cheery manner. Anna singsit is a joy to sit in St. James on a quiet Sabbath morning and listen to Anna's lovely contralto. But Anna is sometimes inspired to burst forth into song around six on a nice spring morning when some weary woman is just blissfully dreaming that Dr. Wells has decided to give all classes a weeks vacation. Then apprecia- tion of the beauties of music is totally lacking. Freshman year, Mary Jane was her constant companion, in noise, wild romps, and practical jokes. Mary Jane deserted in favor of matrimony and Anna has had to redouble her efforts. She has been quite successful. But why wax weakly facetious? Anna has hair of Titian tint, a devotion to Dot and Chris that is touching, pennants, skins, whatever else an indi- vidual can have for basketball, soccer, hockey, and other minor details. Oh, yes! and Anna's present soul-mate or room-matewe can't decide which, or bothis Seeley. EVELYN CADDEN Evelyn the efficient, Evelyn the oblig- ing,-we could go on ad infinitum, We know that she is always up to date in her studies, we know that she manages to be both prompt and thorough in her work on the News, we know that she is a quiet person with a knowing smile, and that she is a master when it comes to telling humorous anecdotes. We know that she has a good opinion of hu- manity in general, we also know that she is good-natured, always has a lot of spare time, rather likes to go to town and finds the company of Nellie and almost indispensable. More than this we do not know, but we sus- But perhaps it is not fair to reveal what we merely suspect. mile may mean many things. 38 CLAIRE CALNEN Sweet, Neat, Handsome and Fair, she came and to our amusement and her own dismay acquired fifteen pounds during.the first semester of Freshman year; thus becoming a cherub charm- ing and happy. Ever since shes been losing in weight but not in popularity. Her spoken ambition is to be an ac- - complished French Instructor but there ' are others with different ideas. We might have heard at the co-ed summer school she attended, Oh, Claire de lo lune o Voulez-vous spoon a. We understand, we've seen her in that charming little Please Marry Me Chorus. But we appreciate Claire's serious momentsher struggle to grow bigger in characterand length. Oh, where! oh, where! is our speaking President of French Club and Branford when she goes to English class, quiet and demure, never uttering a syllable? 39 RHETA CLARK It is generally supposed that a fiery temper accompanies Titian locks, but we are convinced that Rheta is the ex- ception which proves the rule. She is invariably good-natured. Even when recreant students return books to the Library at+ impossible hours, Rheta chides pleasantly. Rheta isn't the sort of person who lets things go. She believes in at least making an effortand Rheta's efforts mean work well-done. Moreover, these are not made in merely one direction, for Rheta follows the principle of the life. In other words, she keenly enjoys both work and play-and 1 the friendships and associations which each involves. MiriAM COHEN 0ld King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he. But he holds no monopoly on merriness, for Miriam Cohen is as merry as he, be the weather wet or dry. We remember Miriam in the Spanish playa jolly gentleman who ate pro- digiously and bothered not that at times his Spanish had an English twang. That was all in actingalong with sour milk and the creaking boards. We remember informal after dinner dances in Blackstone basement with Miriam as orchestra, furnishing vocal and instrumental harmony for a wildly dancing audience. Jazzwhat Jazz! Syncopation with a vengeance! Cohan outdone by Cohen! The college campus rang with the jubilant measures and desperate students on the other side of Branford stuffed their heads deeply into pillows to keep out the lively tunes. But Miriam has become a special student and resides somewhere in New London wilds. And that air is still which once was dancing. And desperate students can study to their hearts' contentbut the dancers wail. 41 KATHRYN P. CULVER A Fire Drill in Winthrop? Why no!that's just Kay tearing down the hall from one of her long dis- tance calls. We wonderwas it Don from Boston or Johnny from New York. Kay has had a remarkable record in her social life at C. C.not one dance has she missed. Nor does Kay confine her gaiety to Campus. Nearly any Friday aft- ernoon one is apt to see her, toting a suit case from class to class ready to catch the 3.56.

DANFORTH Katherine Danforth meanders about our campus with an expression of poetic revery, a vague misty-eyed detachment! It seems brutal to awake her to our weary, prosaic life by a brusque Hello. That she is a dreamer we feel sure. But we are not Freud. We do not delve and probe into her consciousness, her sub- consciousness, or her un-consciousness whichever it may be! We appreciate her turn for the artistic and her unex- pected sense of humor. Who, I ask you, would ever suspect a Pre-Raphaelite personality of a sense of humor? It seems almost as inconsistent as seeing Katherine in a middy, struggling with To the rear, march!? And Class to the rear, halt! is almost too much for her. When that command echoes through the gym, she looks as though she had been grossly insulted, as though her honor and her virtue had been assailed, as though Fate had ordained one burden too heavy for her to bear. ; No! We cannot solve the Danforth. We leave it to Freud and the future. But we like her. 43 ELIZABETH J. DICKINSON Betty Dick quietly chuckles at hu- manity, an inaudible, wise chuckle which only shows itself in the form of a suppressed smile that she can't quite succeed in concealing. She talks little, acquires a panic-stricken expression when called on to recite in classeven though she always acquits herself admirablybut we are sure that she enjoys life. Sometimes we think of her as a source of scientific knowledge, sometimes as a hockey advocate, but most often we think of her as chortling 3 over the antics of others.

DIMON We know very little about Katherine. She comes up from New London for classes and departs again as swiftly as possible. Although not exceedingly interested in the academic Kay attends classes regularly with well-prepared lessons. Just when she accomplishes this last mentioned feat is not known, for when she is in the gym rest-room, her throaty chuckle proves indicative of a not-too serious conversation. And according to report, Kay's evenings are not spent in the perusal of knowledge. Asgk the Navy! hing else. f CATHERINE P. DobD K. is a shark in languages and pulls the A's on all sides. Her ability to speak, write and read French is the envy of all studentsthe ease with which she speaks it is appalling to the ordinary mortals who have had oppor- tunities in the several French plays to listen to her. She has two hobbies- First, her aversion to going to classes unless absolutely necessary; second, her eat and grow thin program. Every week K. announces intentions of giving up all sustenance, only to suc- cumb to the luscious taste of a chocolate or brownie. With the tea house so near, one can hardly blame her, can easily forgive, for she is so cheerful and good-natured that her 'become her virtues, and her ready smile and laugh make up for 46 VIRGINIA P. EDDY When we learned that Bing had one of the highest averages in our intelli- gence test, we were a little awed and wary. Then we made a second human- izing and comforting discovery that destroyed the first cold shock. She eats great quantities of chocolate cake and has hay-fever. The two are not con- nected physiologically, merely in sig- i nificance. ' Bing pronounces car to rhyme with the French pas. Before we met her we I had not realized how much Parisienne culture must flourish in Newtonville. She is a cheery soul withalwhether she be carrying nourishment to the perishing Maxine or following the croquet ball in a fine athletic fervor. There is in Bing an unexpected streak of whimsieality. In the summer when two or three C. C.-ites are gathered together someone produces a letter from Bing. Then come shrieks of uncontrollable mirth, for although her pen, or rather, her Corona, follows in the best Atlantic Monthly tradi- Il tions, she is very funny, and usually at her own expense. The names Kit and Bing are almost as euphonious and familiar to the ear as Barnum Sz il Bailey, or Roger Gallet or Gager and Crawford. A famous firm. 5 a letter every day! ALICE FERRIS Her brown eyes and smile are attrac- tive to many ; they are always indicative of good spirits. Al's an English majorseldom does she volunteer but when Dr. Wells calls upon her you may depend that the answer will be correct. She always gives the impression that her lessons are prepared; usually they are,how little they trouble her!it takes more worry than lessons can give to lighten her weight. Secretarial subjects are also a feature of her program. But does she really plan to apply either subject? 48 CAROLINE K. N. FRANCKE This resum of our Titian model may ve well entitled Our Conceptions of Caroline, for they are not few and col- orless. In dramatics she has gone vividly from Pierrot to the heroine in the 23 motion picture classic The Burglar's Bride, then finding a figurative crown by the quality of her performance as the proudly sensitive Louis in The Beauty and the Jacobin. She was one of our most effective mannikins in The Fash- ion Show. . . . As far as the light and fantastic is concerned she has taken several leaps, notably in the Pageant of Freshman year as The Spirit of Spring, and since then in various Oriental and modern interpretations. We always had a dim suspicion that Circe would look rather extraor- dinary on a baseball diamond-that is, until we saw Caroline swinging a vicious bat. And she has all the little foibles of a successful star as is evi- denced by her followers. May we be permitted to murmur, Where talent treads ? Long ago when Dimmie bellowed on our horizon Caroline's room with its delicate suggestion of old masters was a haunt of surcease for those weary in soul. The Intelligenti. Perhaps it still is. With magazine poetry and fiction to her credit, our Lady of the Jade is qualified to be a member of The Authors League of America. We hope she is aware of that fact. When she does go out in society, Elsie Ferguson is aenemic by comparison. Caroline is fully as modish in her choice of diseases as in her ap- parel. Jessie! For the love of Allah, do you remem-. ber if I ate my gloves last time? The car's gone up!l No, darling, but here are mine. May life ever be a solved puzzle for Caroline, if it needs must be a puzzle at all. 49 - KATHARINE N.

Once, however, Percy failed her. She was forced to accept the plebeian trolley as a dreary substitute. Thisalas and alackfailed her also, and she arrived in time to see her 8 o'clock class dis- missed. This would have been merely an incident had it not been for the fact that this class came in one of those momentous two days before a holiday. As it was, it loomed up as a tragic episode. 51 JANE L. GARDNER Bug, Jane, or Janie Bugtake your choice. She'll answer to any of them. The Bug implies something small that is being continually stepped on, shoved over, or knocked down by tall and blas Freshmen. But do they get away with it? Never! This seemingly shy, quaint little flower will burst forth into quite bold, unquaint languageand if the Freshmen were only short enough to hear this brilliant splutteringthey would stand aside and bow in deep re- spect. She wields the noble paint brush ik with great skill and alacrity and it was red about that she had arrived in art. Our only criticism of her her style is too much like Rembrandt. ; ways has time to do one more thing and if she takes it on she'll be do it. Her one trial in life is to keep her kid cousin in order. If all that the model American youth should be, 'twill not be the our Jane. 52 EpiTH B. GOLDBERG Bess, to all Winthropites is very well known as Mother, a title which only indicates the affection and esteem she has won for herself. The main point, however, is the fact that she deserves it; partly, for her untiring, unselfish ef- forts in behalf of all her numerous prodigies and partly, because of her own personality. Bess, in the course of her college career has never been known to make catty, or even cryptic remarks about anybody. She might have said, how- ever: I have a little shadow who goes in and out with me for wherever we find Bess, we're sure to glimpse Connie. She has still another mark of immediate recognitionher moleskin wrapthe only wrap worthy of mention at C. C. 53 HELEN T. HEMINGWAY Her versatility is amazing: In September, 1919, she came, shy, demure, blushing. In June we found her one of our star athletes, but withal still daintily fem- inine. Next Septembermen, letters, gowns in endless succession. An unceasing round of houseparties with all that they entail whirled her to June, 1921.

Peg has talentno doubt about it. She designs gowns that are original and stunning. Ah, but the great achievement of a lifetime was the interior decoration of an entire house. Peg flew to Boston on ungodly morning trains to buy gate-legged tables and window draperies. She rushed to The House for measurements. She pressed the family into service.

But to anyone who is deceived by this air and suddenly suggests a clever plan for amusement, Margaret says in a nice, New England manner: I havent planned and Gabriel himself couldn't get Peg into heaven if she hadn't planned. Peg will either marry Paul or interior decorate fortunate peoples homes. Probably she'll com- bine the two and decorate her own. bbH HELEN E.

Bunyan may imself a Greek at timeshe feels the spirit. ALICE P. HOLCOMBE Conscientious, ambitious, democratic such is Al. Even in the most awful of her many emba-a-arrassing situa- tions, Allie P. Olcombe remembers her rugged New England ancestry and pulls herself together in a truly admirable fashion. A typical daughter of nature is she when cavorting wickedly about the ten- nis courtin fact, she has exhibited pack-to-nature tendencies in other respects; does not her room bear the aspect of a virgin jungle? We wonder ig this passion for all conceivable plants an outcome of her sudden interest in the natural sciences, or is it a glowing tendency caught elsewhere? As for class presidentsAl certainly wins the laurels when she com- mands our attention with those pleading eyes. And we cannot help but wonder how such a praiseworthy conscience can exist behind such diabolical grins. OLIVE W. HOLCOMBE Olive was one of the Home Circle's original members. Then she resigned or whatever one doesand joined the wild third floor Branford. She went to its late evening and early morning parties. She then met Eleanor Thielen and her Tedand thereafter the Navy.

HOLLISTER In the beginning, four years ago, there was an Abby. She had two moods. One was an ominous silence, the other was a Rabelaisian mirth that took ex- pression in wild shrieks, and salt in the coffee. She was one of those people who outlined her history I-II every day, and yet, in combination with the firm of Marion and Sliv, she could perpetrate atrocities of humor that made one pale. Now there is another Abby. She is wrapped in an impenetrable poise. She has a thirst for information, and a calm glance that makes us wonder uneasily, Just what does that girl know about me? She is well grounded in the events of the past, and equally well grounded in the events of the present on our campus. And, although efficiency is her motto, and her wild shrieks have evolved into silent chucklings, we cherish a secret hope that Abby might still slip a tack on our chair if she followed her natural im- pulse. We could stand the necessary pain to know that she is not quite the perfect citizen she seems, Perhaps we shall find out! Who knows? 59 FLORENCE A. HOPKINS Florence Hopkins is a quiet, unassum- ing person whose reserve long pre- vented most of us from knowing her. She seemed to us as a person who would perhaps enjoy reading more than listen- ing to our inconsequential chatter. In contrast with the Mosier House, of which she was a member-that typically Freshman abode which went through all the regular Freshman phases and bobbed its hair almost as an entire body, she appeared serious and dignified. Yet we realize that she appreciates our fri- volities as well as our serious moods. he Latin play she immortalized the part of Peniculus for us. think of her as being a capable person, always the recipient of A's. of us who take Teacher's English sit open-mouthed with wonder D at her knowledge of the English grammar.

HUBBARD Hubby? is a quiet soul, with a twinkle in her eye, and a determination in her chin which might mean almost anything. Although she is majoring in chemistry, Hubbys main interests have been along the lines of research-first in the realms of the spirits, now in the realms of the cook book and the drapery department. It is hard to tell what branches may yet be added to chemistry. For many months Hubby's favorite pastime was lunching on a milk-shake and the odors of other people's steaks and hot fudge sundaes. It is to be hoped that she will overcome such tendencies under the influence ofwe haven't learned his name. 61 LAVINNIA F. HULL No person less than Shakespeare has written, long e'er this, concerning one Lavinnia: She is a woman, therefore may be woo'd ; She is a woman, therefore may be won ; She is Lavinnia, therefore must be loved. She is a woman, yet for a' that she wears trou. 1 any day at college one may see Lavinnia, modern and emancipated, g about campus, a study in sepia and white knickers. Lavinnia's avinnia's dinners, her after-the-dance refreshments are famous for ount of delicious food, the vivacity of the party and the attractive- 'her man. Lest you think Lavinnia is merely a social butterfly, don't t her team work. Lavinnia, we are sure, will always be a credit to the cal Ed. Department, 62 MARIAN E. JOHNSON Maya is the proud Daddy of the Winthrop Booze family. For three long years she has guided it in paths of pleas- antness and peace with the crook of her little finger and the background of Jude. But Maya is a law unto her- self.

And in one so young, too! Just imagine what she will perpetrate in the fictional world as she becomes older and more bitter and more facile. She really dotes on the things the flap- pers love, but unlike these heedless crea- tures, she can leave the throng in her astral self and jeer. Analysis of character isn't a trait you would expect, to look at her fluffy hair. She is admittedly fond : icking human machinery to pieces.

Can you picture 64 S. CONSTANCE KENIG At first, Connie impresses us as being in this mortal world but not of it, su- perbly oblivious to its ordinary haps and mishaps. After better acquaintance, however, we analyzed her air of abstrac- tion and found it to be nothing more alarming than a guise covering the con- scientiousness with which she goes in for everything. Connie, strangely enough, is naively unsophisticated in spite of Freshman Hygiene and a trusting soul. It must have been uncanny intuition therefore, which guarded her from betraying her real interestsor maybe it hasn't fully developed yet! MARJORIE C. KNOX Marge's ability to adapt herself to everything she undertakes is very un- usual. Her talent extends in many directions. She is speed typist for the faculty and for many others as well. We discovered her musical talent in connection with her part in our Fresh- man Pageant, and ever since then she has gained fame as accompanist, not only in vocal training, but at college sings as well. Marge has one characteristic which has proved most contagiousthat is, her laugh, which is never boisterous, r joyous she may feel. has a quiet, unobtrusive way of doing everything. She always has k prepared ; but we discovered this quite inadvertently. lurks about most people with golden red hair a suspicion of a temper that will some day burst forth in all its fury. While Marge . hajr, there is no suggestion of the temper. her major is History, her interest lies mainly in Secretarial work nds at which she spends a great deal of time. 66 MINNIE KREYKENBOHM Minnie has a wide-eyed look for the universe that might be termed bovine if we didn't know better. She is always chewing a mental cud whose rarity she evidences only by an occasional smirk or a gleam in her large brown eyes. She knows she is a natural humorist. We have all told her that so often we believe it ourselves. She knows, too, that she is a re-incar- nation of an exotic something-or-other. She wears a purple robe, throws a pur- ple cover on the bulb, lights the orange candles, reads Devil Stories from one hand, and with the other efficiently turns the crank anew on Say It With Music, or Humoresque. And ah, yes, to set the stage perfectly forget not the incense, nor the coffee pot on the radiator the radiator is the only thing with standing room on it in Minnie's domain. THIRD FLOCOR BRANFORD Cit must be capitalized seeing as how it's a pleasant family structure never knew the joys of coffee until Minnie began ner march of the 10,000 steps to procure it with all its far-reaching fumes. You would never suspect her of criminal tendencies, yet she and Fisher brought home a tombstone one dark night. Minnie was a big strong girl then so Fisher let her carry it. Fisher also permitted her desk to be adorned by the significant slab . . . The Ways of these Women . . . And Minnie plays hockey. She spends a week teiling people that shes got to find a sweat shirt or she can't play, then she goes to the fray and dashes about as though all the ancestral gods are on her side, including some of the enemies. No epitaph would be complete without mention of the vietim's prowess in languages, dead or alive. Even as Jessie, so say we with bated breath, and she reads Goethe in the original! 67 MARY LANGENBACHER Sincere, conscientious, easily shocked appeared Mary as a Freshman. Not that she was not full of fun, oh, no a mischievous twinkle often lurked behind the Alice-in-Wonderland expres- sion. We always thought of her as be- longing to the age of chivalry when womanhood was renowned for its purity and we expected to see some gallant knight wishing to defend her falsely in- sulted honor in a tournament, to have him crowned victor of the fight and mysteriously ride away with her. . Soon we learned that Mary is not sweet, wonder-eyed maiden of the chivalrous age, but also pos- -wide-awake mind, and many decided opinions, which she valiantly I'in an earnest and convincing manner. We think of her as an F to high ideals, tempered by a sense of humor which prevents her ing too intolerant of others. We still surmise that she gasps oc- ally at the sins of the world, but for all that she is a good sport, 68 MARCIA LANGLEY Marcia has decided to have a B.S. In Math. she's a Thales; and soon we expect her to draw electricity from the heavens with her key of knowledge. She meets her Waterloo in dancing and athletics. The only exhibitions of her dancing in college were the nights she masqueraded as a colonial gentle- man and as a rag doll; when we have a big dance she deems it more pleasant to visit in Norwich. Who hasn't watched Marcia scrutinize her tennis racket for a hole after a random hit at the ball? But when we are on a hike, she's the leader. In cooking picnic meals, she excels; then, members of the faculty work as her assistants, students are her slaves, and even fastidious Prom men relish the food. All her hopes and ambitions are centered in good old Vermont; and it surely will be a momentous day when she becomes the owner of that dairy farm. 69 NELLIE LEWITT When Nellie arrived on this academic ground a few weeks late we summed her up as shy and retiring, and thought that that was the end of Nellie. But not for long did we hold to this false notion. Nellie soon breezed forth from her re- tirement, showed us how to handle the hockey ball, and continued to wear the athletic laurels until she walked away with the skin her Junior year. And when we were recovering from our former disillusionment we began to notice other thingsNellie has a way : of looking at you as though she pos- me vastly humorous knowledge that you do not; it makes us won- d it be Nellie who has been tormenting us with practical jokes? 70 LOUISE A. LINDEMAN Without makin' much ado Louise gets there every time. Her A's in Psych. will prove this. Most of a beautiful summer was spent delving into this sub- ject which goes to show her devotion to it. We'll have to admit that a tennis court and a partner did add some zest to it, but Louise attempts to keep this fact dark. Louise has other things to think of besides her studies. Frequent telephone calls for herafter them we would hear Louise falling up the stairs sereeching, Jean, he's coming! and then slam would go the door, and only giggles and whispers could be heard. We wonder what has happened to that cousin, Louise? 71 MARGUERITE LOWENSTEIN When two or more budding geniuses meet together and term themselves In- telligenti, difficulties must of a neces- sity arise. Which of them is the guid- ing spirit? Who possesses the greatest, the most incalculable genius? But just here Marguerite found her place as mediator. For a whole year, Marguer- ite lived next to that turbulent, exotic creature known familiarly as Dim- mie. During this time she saved Dim- mie from death by Coca-Cola supposed, if imbibed in large enough quantities, to keep one awake for thirty-six hours 1 Miss Rector about to pounce in no gentle manner upon the owner Pig-Pen.

MACLEAR Hellewwho is it? Ah, yes, Mary. Whence came her Southern drawl? Alas, who knows? Well, anyway, Mary doesn't, nor does she know the sophis- tications of this modern age. The flapper is one too many for her. She will never recover from the astounding revelations of those extraordinary creatures. Each day of Mary's college career has been an awakeningand shall we saybut no, we remember, how could one be sad in such jocund company as Mary's little companion affords. Mary has forever been a mystery, but a pleasant one, enveloped in a soft voice and suggesting winsome whiffs of fair tresses, MARGARET J. MCCARTHY The first thing that we heard about Mugs was associated with special deliv- ery letters, a fraternity pin, and last, but not least, a man. She was a member of the tribe of Mosier, and a staunch side-kick of Kay Finney. We feared for Mugs when Kay left her exiled in Win- throp, but Hunkie came to the rescue. and now we find her ensconced in Bran- ford's prickly walls, dashing about by turns with Dot, Chris, Hunkie, Bubs, and Niel. We cannot imagine Mugs in the busi- ness world, but nevertheless it is a fact ig a devoted disciple of the secretarial department. Much more iate is she in the pursuit of the basketball. now, after four years, we still find Mugs keeping a vigilant watch T4 VIVIENNE C. MADER Vivienne came to us sweet, shy and, as we thought, undecided. At first she was very quiet, and we did not know her well. Gradually a change came over her, or perhaps it was only her feeling of strangeness that left, and we just began to know her a littlebe that as it may, her shyness gave place to poise, her undecidedness left and she bobbed her hair. She became a member of the great triumvirate Ashcroft, Padel- ford, and Mader, and now a fourth has been aldedEleanor Tracy. They are all thoroughly versed in the domestic arts, but as they live in Vinal Cottage we hardly ever see them; but we believe that Vivienne has changed little since Sophomore year. -1 o MELVINA P. MASON Tt is impossible to write of Mopey without thinking of birch trees in the sun, or Grecian maidens playing ball- something quite idyllic and unworldly. She is one of those people who, when she is eighty-five, will still have a per- fume of youth about her, a graceful turn of the head, or lift of the eyes reminis- cent of loveliness. In spite of the obvious fact that she does not belong to this age she does pretty well in a twentieth century en- vironment. She is a streak of motion on the athletic field. She can even wear Bollar and be efficient to a terrifying degree. She can play prac- okes or be unconventlonal in a successfully demure manner. ps onto the stage with a simplicity that is tragedy, or a whimsi- i;hat is comedy, both with an ease nearly professional.

MOYLE Betty had a little voice, No, great, would suit it better, For how that voice would fill the gym When Betty'd up and let er. Even the good humor and the love affair can't eclipse the fame that Betty's voice has brought her in lines of singing and cheering. Oh, what a yell was there! Did you ever room near her before Claire became house president? Shes a little calmed down now. When home economies is so very important an item of study, you must cool down a little you know. Ever since Freshman year, Betty has been romantically inclined, for who but a romantic maiden would have thought of permanently substitut- ing keds for the ever-faithful sneakers? And that bloomer leg which was constantly making advances towards her ankle must have had some sig- nificance, we insist. The bloomer leg has now been trained to a proper restraint. The keds remain and ever will. For Betty is romantic and ever will be. As long as it doesn't affect her disposition, why worry? 77 MICHAELINA M. NAMOVICH In a group of three or four hundred people there is apt to be someone about whom the rest ponder, mumbling to themselves the while: Is she just a fascinating idiot, or is she a genius? Mike is that one. No one but Mike and God can be sure, although others have their suspicions. In her manner she trips gaily from the rocky paths of temperament to the broad, smiling road of burlesque. She is volcanic or she is funnyalways she is vivid. Dramati- cally she wears with equal finish the seraggly wig of the Irish peasant or the red curls of Valsin of the French Revolution. She dances with the imbed skill of the moderns. She writes much and well, sometimes with the modern superficiality, sometimes with a strain of Slavic erity that augurs untried literary depths. She has dabbled in nearly r College activities, giving everything she touches her own fantastic . She is never inconspicuous, she is never dull. She carries at her belt imerable scalps.

NORTH A giggle, perfectly weird, a swish of auburn hair, when I was in N York this summer, Branford House, Nauga- tuck, a desire for a good timethere vou have Mugs. She's had a varied career, beginning at Weaver House, Freshman year, graduating to third floor Branford, leaving in favor of the second floor. She even went to the ex- treme of taking a summer course at Co- lumbia with fun as the motive. She managed to go to all the theatreswith emphasis on the Folliesgo to many dances, and get Bs in graduate courses. Mugs always has some choice bit of news or gossip or some pleasant little personal experience to relate in a manner that is totally Mugs North and quite inimitable. Her little parties are delightfully quiet affairs, last- ing anywhere from one to three in the morning. The means for communi- cation with the room above being gentle wallops on radiator pipes, this method has been employed at many and ungodly hours until someone during a conference with the Dean discovered that the pipes also entered the Deans suite. Since this fateful discovery Mugs has been prostrated with remorse. Mugs' future? She takes the Bride's Coursebut who can tell? New York and an independent career have their charms. 79 Doris B. PADELFORD Once Doris Padelford was on campus and nobly sonot in a noisy, forward way, but in a quiet, unassuming role which kept her happy and well-liked. Though she did favor trains which carried her elsewhere than to the banks of the Thames after vacations, she usually arrivedeventually. But time changes all things, and Senior year took Doris away to bury herself body and spirit among the pots and pans of Vinal Cottage. Those who once knew her see her only as she hurries to necessary classes. Vinal has her. 80 MARION D. PAGE Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind We cannot begin to express her boundless capacity for assimilating all wisdom placed before her. She has sat next to us for four years and never did a Prof ask a question that did not light her limpid eyes with response to the said stimulus. A hint of maidenly apology lies in her overtures for a hear- ing, which pleases us exceedingly. Nothing irritates us more than erudi- tion, erudition undisguised and com- placent. She is kind. Drama finds her neurot- ically proving by page 13, line 26, that the personage you have just ap- parently succeeded in characterizing as weak-minded and of feeble morals is in reality a deserving heroine of enormous capabilities and a remarkable disposition. It is a thing like thig that illustrates a damsel's worth. Marion likes movies, and meals, and sweeis every day and in every way. She is partial to Shakespeare and several other gentlemen. She has a cautious sense of humor, and a laugh of appreciation which is ready for release upon indication of equal humor in other quarters. Living near the telephone has not soured her spirit. T.ending nickels and notebooks is but one phase of her generosity. We feel that Marion will teach English upon her release. We are just as sure of that as we are of the fact that we never shall. 81 LEORA PEABODY Far down on the way to Ocean Beach there lived a damsel who now and then left her unknown haunts to seek confer- ence with those of Greek and Latin speech. Of course it was Leora Pea- body. Anyone else wouid have the old fellows seek her out. But Leora read their works with appreciation and un- derstandingwhich is more than can be said of most of us. Why, when Lu- cretius poked his nose onto the land- scape of Latin 31, she even went so far as to inscribe a poem to him, criticis- - ing, commending his lengthy treatise on up of the world. Such presumption, such courage, is only to be hen Latin and Greek, with all their intricacies, could not phase her, ould expect a mere soccer ball to do the deed ? That it didn't is proved by the fact that she was one of the peewees on the soccer team ayed the facultya distinction which is not to be su rpassed. one who can follow the gyrations of a soecer ball and the gyrations in wrlter with equal success can do nearly anything and do it well. 82 JEAN F. PEGRAM We are glad Jean came back in her Sophomore year to be a member of the class of 1923. Freshman year she dis- appeared after one day to finish the vear at Columbia. Jean is one of the four who play bridge every night and afternoon, too, when possible. Never, hy any chance, does any one dare to accompany Jean to an exam, for she runs a few steps, waits for you and says, I don't know a thing. She runs again, comes back and desperately pants, I don't know a thing. Somehow we doubt it. Jean's struggles for originality grieve her. Never does she buy a new hat, dress, or even curtains that she does not find someone has just beaten her to it and has acquired exactly the same. M. CHRISTINE PICKETT Chris is another of those persons who are one-half of a David and Jonathan combination. For four years she and Dot have tramped campus together. We really can't say which has been the guiding staror maybe it was a case of the blind leading the blind we cast no aspersions, we nierely lack vo- cabulary-at any rate they have both climbed high along the treacherous straight and narrow path of scholar- ship and Student Governmentship. Chris is now our honored vice-presi- dent and has the arduous task of keep- ful watch over our social activities. Chris likes society too; Junior ad its attractions. But Chris attends to businessforemost, middle- hindermost; even though her broad, cheerful grin often belies grey eye. 84 L. ALICE RAMSAY You know that charming way histor- ians have of giving you insight into the character of a great man by some little anecdote? They tell of Napoleon and the sleeping young soldier, or Abe Lin- coln walking three miles to return three cents, or there is even some slight sig- nificant rumor about Washington in the orchard. So may one epitomize Ramsay by this episode! One rainy day, Ramsay was seen steaming away from Thames with a look of distress sitting strangely on her features. She was flushed. She looked distraught. A bystander called to her. Hey! Ramsay! What's the matter? I'm mad! she said. What! incredulous. Yes,? said Ramsay firmly. It's the first time I've ever been mad in my life. Laughter from the bystander and How does it feel 7 A silence. Ramsay's face assumed the expression of a sinner doubting the possibility of redemption. It feels awful! she said, awestruck. Ramsay, as Patty in Qualilty Street, is as pleasant to remember as the Ramsay who smiled her way through Thames and the Post Office. She was a perfect Patty, so naive that her face wore the look of being infinitely surprised that she had ever been born. Heigho! Is it being Irish? Or does the Lord deal out a disposition like that every now and then just to show what He can do when He concentrates? 85 DoroTHY D. RANDLE From her start as a harum-scarum Freshman in Mosier, up through her siege as class president and tennis champion, and finishing as A. A. presi- dentaye, through four hard years has Dottie been in the limelight. We feared for her when she had neuritis, had our qualms when she cut her hair, lost all hope when she sprained her backbut we might have been spared these anxious times, because Dot is not one to be daunted so easily. Daily, with a most excellent grace, she rests on the luxurious sawdust stuffed the gym instead of playing magnificent tennis. Her hair having at- to a sufficient length, again imparts that sense of dignity which is ned by the tortoige rimmed glasses. ssible to mention Dot without Chris with whom she has trod the shore for three years. Together they have striven for uplift the depraved; together they have attempted to lead the Freshman the path of virtue and right living; together they have given as been enthralled with secretarial studies to such an extent that es a position involving them-at Yaleum, yesat Yale! 86 GWYNETH REES We can picture Gwyneth far into the futureindeed, the very hands of des- tiny can make her no other than fair, fat, and forty, surrounded by swarms of adolescent what-nots from Ellis Island. The very Rousseau himself will doubtless be waiting at the Golden Gate to congratulate Gwyneth on her re- markable skill in shielding so many little Emiles from the clutches of in- herited sin. She has already taken vir- tuous steps toward this noble goal in spEnding her summers at Long Lane Farm. But this is not allshe furthers the spirit of careful guidance continuallywho can deny that Jeannette would err from the proverbial straight and narrow if she could not rely on the efficient Gwyneth? The object of these laudatory lines also has another forte which will be sadly effaced if drastic means are not adopted to retain it. Yes, strange as it may seem, she has all the tendencies of a comedian. But why exhort furtherthere are so many other virtues and otherwise dominant char- acteristics of Gwyneth that we may as well stop now. VIRGINIA ROOT Being born in a country of prohibition we speak from hearsay, but we have heard that it takes a connoisseur to ap- preciate the flavor of the most delicate wines. So, we believe, it takes a con- noisseur to know the flavor of the more elusive personalities. In our Freshman yvear we remember Jinny as a gentle creature with an attractive smile. Dur- ing four years we have discovered, : F sometimes to our discomfort, that this E' ' same gentle creature can deliver per- : tinent and pointed remarks, that she has a dominating way with the soccer : she is efficient and that she is understanding. . member how all the poor artistic gentlemen of the middle ages, had hard lives, cry pathetically sweetness-that most rare and .- gift in women? We are not an old artistic gentleman, and as e has not been unduly hard, at least from the romantic stand- HE ill we add our voice, cracked with depth of emotion, and we ny in twentieth century abandon, You win the India-rubber for sweetness ! 88 HANNAH F. SACHS Hannah is a little body with a large brain. She is always looking out from behind big glasses to catch a glimpse of the world. Her expression implies that it is rather a pleasant world to her but she values her time too highly to waste it on the petty pursuits of most of us mortals. Usually we see her garbed in a long black apron which bears all the trade marks of the chemistry lab. It is there that she spends most of her time profitably, for Hannah is a capable, efficient person. Since she has never lived on campus, few of us know her except as an unending source of scientific knowledge, but we feel sure that she will conscientiously pursue whatever profession she chooses. Perhaps some day she will be a great scientist. Who knows? 89 ELIZABETH R. SANFORD You've read amazing magazine stories of the naively-sophisticated young Freshmen? Well, one of them is based on Bab's Freshman year. This she spent in Mosier learning the ways of roommates, cadets of the Coast Guard Academy, diphtheria bacilli, and protesting faculty. Her Sophomore year she advanced to Plant and Yale men, and graced all the dances. With characteristic energy she added the Mind to her interests and pro- ceeded to major in Psychology. But have you ever sat by Bab in If you have, you've brought disgrace upon yourself by reason of controllable and raucous laughter, while she, with a sweetly serious drunk deep of pedagogical wisdom. This air of pseudo-serious- which she successfully deludes the unsuspecting is irresistible. e sure of her future success as a psychologist because she really is tigable student, and because her charms, certainly not studied, ch a delightfully winning way. 90 ADELAIDE SATTERLY Aedlaide's cry for the two years she lived in Branford was Clean tea-pan- tries. Souls with guilty consciences entirely dormant until they saw her righteous selfquaked before her. With many complaints and committees she achieved reform. Then having done her duty, she left the wilds of Branford for Plantrumored as a house with feelings more kindly toward Home- Circles. From the amount of sewing Adelaide has done and from the number of years she has been doing it one can visualize her future home. Closets filled with hemstitched, monogramed linens, and and little bags of lavender. One can imagine Adelaide in an immaculate kitchen, making crisp cookies for a stone cookie jar, or with equal facility, visualize her as President of the Current Events Club. It has been a mystery how Adelaide has gone to Long Island for week- ends, sewed and studied. One blushes to mention marks-they have that air of the kindergarten about thembut certainly they go toward proving her versatilityA's in English or Historyshe accepts them with that air of quiet assurance so characteristic of her. 91 MILDRED F. SEELEY Has the car gone up rings through Plant corridors, as Seeley rushes madly for the car station, hat in one hand and a bunch of checks in the other. We never have to ask, for we are sure of her des- tinationThe First National Bank for bookstore transactions. Seeley's interests are three-fold: bookstore, social work, athletics. She burns quantities of midnight oil to get in a long report after she has spent the whole evening relating to her many in- terested friends some of her adventures and experiences in the field of social . during her summers in New York. n in chapel, Seeley has difficulty in suppressing the giggle which is ' 1 of Seeley.

SETLOW Have yvou noticed the great metamor- phosis which came over Frances when she moved to Branford? Taking it for granted that you have, did you know that it was all due to the influence of a roommate? To be sure, Frances still persists and probably always will per- sist in reading the Dial, delving into the subtleties of futuristic art, and reveling in free verse. She still pos- sesses the same Pebeco ad. grin, but even this famous characteristic has been modified by wearing it over Nellie's coat or under Nellie's hat. Now she de- mands tea at midnight, lounges pleasantly about the suite, and takes boundless joy in tormenting her friends with boarding-school pranksshe has an endless store of such ingenious tricks that come to light when one least expects them. Yet Frances has moments when she gracefully detaches herself from atmosphere and works efficiently and skillfully as Managing Editor of the News. All these things and many more have we known concerning Frances but one thing she almost succeeded in concealing. However, one evening in a momentary aberration she brushed back her shining hair, attached long, slinky earringsand the truth was outshe looks like Nita Naldi. 93 EMILY SLAYMAKER Have you seen Plupe's one paleful dusky eye through her latest ha1r-c1'.ttl? If you dont know that she has a morbid outlook on life anyway, you might be disturbed abeut the glitter. We never noticed it until the other one lost itself under the Bohemian thatch. But then, what's an eye between classmates? Plupe can paint. She says so herself and even admits that Miss Sherer has committed herself on that point. At any rate, ecardboard under her direction grows into right handsome scenery.

She is filled with ambition and all psychology ma- jors can testify that she is working faithfully to attain this ambition. Her philosophy of life is decidedly distinc- tive. Her fellow students in composi- tion continually gape with dismay at the revelations her themes produce. They just decided that she is conserva- tive, demure, retiring, and agrees with our grandmothers in their consterna- tion at the ridiculous antics of the modern generation, when they discover that she also possesses an ultra modern streak which can outflap most flappers. Yes, Ruth is surrounded by that which most women covet and few possessmysteryand try as we will, she still remains an interesting enigma to us. IRENE E. STEELE Timid, and trustful, Irene came to us. We surmise that being a Fresh- man was her first experience away from home: and all the poised Seniors and self-assured Freshmen filled her with trepidation. She gave a shy smile to the world and, except for her great enthusi- asm over her quantities of mail, none would have deemed that she was homesick. Irene, after four years of experience in the big wide world, is still naive and trustful, and we like her for it. She has 3 not, like many of us, acquired a blase She is .s,tlll thrilled when her Press Board articles are accepted, she is going home, when she gets a B and expected a C, and the continue to hold her in their sway. envy her this ability to be thrilled. We delight in her good nature gerness to be obliging. And we hope that the world will always keep 1agic for her. She is one of those sincere souls whom none dare de- and who engenders sincerity in the most frivolous and deceitful. 96 DoroTHY H. STEVENS Dorothy has two constant compan- jonsAlice, and the perfect wave. She is one of those people whom we can never imagine wasting time, comfort- ably luxuriating in a morris chair be- fore an open fire. She is a person of few words, but of action. Perhaps, we should not be surprised, it is her ambi- tion to excel in the scholastic, to gradu- ate with high honors, to outdo all her classmates. Her scholarship to Woods Hole shows that her ambition, if it be such, is not a vain one. We see her diligence in her studies and we see her purposefulness as we encounter her downtown, not in search of miscellaneous entertainment, but going to a definite movie or making a definite purchase. Purpose and action, or purposeful action ac- companied by diligence would seem to characterize her best. 97 KATHERINE E. STONE Honest! Is that so?this from credulous, gullible Tony, was the most frequent mode of expression Freshman year. Always truthful herself, Tony could not comprehend the existence of a line. Now she has added an Oh, really, how do you know ? to her former trustful belief. Not only gullible, but willing, good natured, eager, conscientious and sin- cere was Tony, Freshman year, and these last five qualities she still pos- sesses. Who has not noticed these five characteristics at work in her earnest ences with Gwyneth, for example, over Jeannette's welfare? None! ve any failed to notice that she excels in the art of hurrying. Many e go through a lot of motions and appear to be always hurrying, but - Tony. She goes through few motions, but is always hurrying. She outdoes the soccer ball in speed. most vivid impression of Tony is indissolubly bound up with Dr. e's studio in the dim light of a winter's afternoon, with straying from Wagner, and Tony's face the epitome of appreciation and ding. She approaches a piano as a votary might a shrine, and ring is no meagre one. She is a real music lover and a real musi- And her talent is accompanied by an ever- lsked to play, whether it be at chapel, at or town recitals, or for dancing. present agreeableness is quiet, yes, but not quiet enough to hide onality. JEANNETTE SUNDERLAND I wish we could play tennis moreI do want to get some practicedo you know, even my kid brother can beat me now! ? This being the usual lament from Sunny as she drags her weary limte from the tennmis court to Bran- ford. And it was not so many months ago that a similar cry was sounded as she could be heard thumping and fling- ing herself about in the corridor while she struggled to excel kid brother on the pogo stick. This noble creature of ambition does not sound like the selfsame Jeannette who positively refuses to blink an eyelid in the cold gray dawn until she has been coaxed out of a dormant condition three times with fifteen minute intermissions. We often wonder if Sunny's family miss her as much as she misses them, if a certain fondness for fudge is due to heredity or environment, and if her family have discovered an adequate or efficient means of awakening her. Probably these are some of the problems that so concern Jeannette herself, but we feel diffident about asking her to discuss them. e RACHEL L. TIFFANY In the first few weeks of Freshman year, when individuals begin to stand out, we all noticed Ray. From Thames to New London Hall it was: Oh, my de-ah! Simply won-der-ful! Whether time has worn the newness from life, or we have grown accustomed to won- ders is a question. Or again, perhaps Ray's wonders have become too intense for utterance. Ray is quite impartialYale, Wil- liams or Wesleyanit really doesn't matter. At Wesleyan they are still talking about the girl from Connecticut pgrfect line.

HEven as a Freshman it was thus that we thought of her. She seems 80 big, both in body and ideals. We turn to her as to a mighty force. To her class she is as indispensible an element as food or drink. Freshman year she shone as an athlete, as musical comedy hero, and as class president. Sopho- more year she continued to shine as an even greater athlete, as an even more skillful and romantic comedy hero, and as the epitome of fair play on Council. Junior year she reached the zenith of perfection in the Poppy Trail, still wielded a mighty hockey stick and lead the class as its president again. This year, more than ever, we see her same love of fair play and her same decisiveness displayed in her role as Student Government president. She is one of those persons who is always ready for anything, whom you cannot terrorize by demand- ing an extemporaneous speech, or by springing a quiz. And before we finish eulogizing Judy, let us not forget to mention Dr. Coerne, for her sympathetic appreciation of him is to us indissolubly bound up with his memory. ROSE M. WATCHINSKY Rose's almost invisible form gliding along the athletie field and slipping be- tween vigorous contestants for the soccer ball is a continuous source of surprise and astonishment to all soccer enthusiasts. Just so in all things does she appear to slip and glide along, with- out our deep seated worry. To be sure we have frequently heard a wee small voice exclaim in consterna- tion at the preposterous assignment of some presuming, unfeeling, troublesome instructor, but we have never seen her bowed down with work. Sometimes we he thinks classes superfluousperhaps her interests are else- Ve '?Vould not be surprised. Certainly we would never accuse Rose ypically collegiate. 102 MARY LOUISE WEIKERT 0ld fashioned gardensfour o'clocks sun dialsan old fashioned maiden with a twinkle in her eyeMary Louise Weikert. Why even her name has that sound. But immediately one comes bang up against the twinkle and enter cadets, and dances, frilly evening gowns, and hair which flares into new and waving linesand Mary Louise is transformed. And no old fashioned language is sufficient for Mary Louise when she gets excited. Modern slang suits the occasion much more effectively. But we can't blame her. It's all on ac- count of the twinkle. Even if she is majoring in English, she doesn't let it bother her much. We would ask seeretly whether anything bothers very mucheven the cadets. . RurH E. WELLS Think back, '23, to the right royal days of the mascot hunt our Sophomore year! And what do you see? Ruth Wells hiding behind glass doors, or jumping suddenly around corners; or watching mysterious laundry cases as they traveled about campus. Ruth, with Abbey, her right hand man, was invaluable.

WHEELER Until Senior year, Mary Wheeler was not, as far as C. C. is concerned. But now she is and oh, how emphatically so. Third floor Blackstone will vouch for the emphasis. She has her failings what humorist has notand whether a never satisfied passion for starting the day right by a race with the dining hall chairs is fault or virtue can only be determined individually. When Mary first arrived, she brought with her a worry, a trouble, for alas, she did not know whether Vassar or C. C. should be called her Alma Mater. She puzzled. She scowled over it. She asked advice right and left and nowwell, we trust that by now she has decided favorably for the college by the sea.

WHITTEN Betty has had an unfortunate ex- perience during her two years with us. She bobbed her hair and, instead of gaining freedom and independence s0 coveted by the flapper of today, she acquired an expression of such youth and childish simplicity that the porters on the New York trains inquire solicit- ously whether someone is going to meet her, and harrassed ticket agents taxi across the city to present her with the ticket that was so absentmindedly left behind at the window. But lest this give the wrong impres- sion let me hasten to add that she has been assiduous in her pursuit of the academic this year probably accounting for the absentmindedness hav- ing daily escaped the watchful eyes of her roommate or friends in slinking away to the library, from whence she would return triumphant and gloat- ing for a few moments of recreation in the way of a giggle. This is an art of which she is past master, entering into it with an abandon worthy of greater causes. KATHRYN P. WILCOX She's sweet and pretty, full of snap wellhardly that. She has a wicked line, a form divine -oh, hardly that. She's made her mark and won her aim yes, surely that. She's made her friends, they're glad she came oh, surely that. She's apt to win eternal fame well, hardly that. We can say she puts our best to shame wellhardly! Though not exactly full of snap, has lots of energy which she devotes to her three main interests in ary and Mac and no Saturday classes. These three absorb not of her energy, but most of her thoughts, so that we at C. C. are d of what shg might otherwise have given usAlas! 'Tis often vith fair maidens! 108 HARRIET A. WOODFORD The Home Circle! To the unitiated, it might sound like The Ladies Home Journal or the Methodist Church. To the initiated it has great possibilities. It met first in Branford and then in Plantit markets on Saturday with a basket; it cooks breakfasts Sunday mornings and course dinners Sunday nights. Tt sewsit embroidersit hem- stitches. Domesticity in all its higher forms belongs to those souls who are charter members of this League-of-Fu- ture-Wives. When Harriet announced her en- gagement this fall as a formality, not a surprise the reason for the exist- ence of a home circle hecame even more apparent. As an arbitrator between the warring factions of the History Club, Harriet has held a most difficult post. She rushes around campus, clutch- ing at unsuspecting innocents for the part of The Friendly Indian in the pageant at the next meeting. She divides a gallon of ice cream by so many members and succeeds in giving everyone a just and proper share. Quite incidentally, Harriet sings people who know nothing about music always look embarrassed and murmur-She singsand leave the details to superior intelligences to imagine. Harriet has a propensity for gigglingcunning, little, harmless giggles that are a sort of ever-present rippling accompani- ment. Once in the dim ages, she bobbed her hair in a wild and unthinking moment. She repented at leisure and let it grow. It would have been so pleasant to have ended by sayingSuch an excellent scholar will most certainly make a splendid teacher. But the en- gagement ring has stolen our thunder. 109 T -1 b HELENA R. WULF Hey, don't forget six o'clock prac- tice, will you? We've just got to beat the Juniors this time! That's all there is to it. How often have we heard these obnoxious words from Captain Wulf, who briskly leaps from bed at a quar- ter to six while the rest of us athletes struggle with alarms, rub our eyes, yawn, and stagger forth still in a haze. She seems to cherish an especial delight in watching our struggles with Mor- pheus. Wulfie puts this same energy into her ; lessons and is made miserable when she five A's instead of six. Math to her is a delightful pastime.

We realize now that it is, after all, the Junior year that is the best year of all. There is the Junior-Freshman Advertisement Party, clever and unique in idea and presentation. Then, we will always recall how we captured both the soccer and hockey championships. But, what is even more important, are the events concerned with our mascotthe thrills of our secretive class meet- ings at which we decided what that mascot was to be, the more thrilling thrills of the Junior Banquet when we unveiled that mascotThe Viking Ship, and, the most thrilling thrills of the subsequent huntSophomore shadowing for ten days, to no purpose, and we, to reciprocate, shadowing them.

We held a solemn conclave and our President laid down rules for their guidance, admonishing them to follow the wise paths of their elders. The Fall sports were rather disastrous for us, but no one can deny that our soccer team fought nobly. Our hockey team carried us to victory over the Freshmen. But Sophomore Hopour own partycame soon and everyone said they had never heard better music, met better dancers; all the things usually said when everyone has had a glorious time. After Christmas the grim realization of midyears faces us. But never again would we feel that awful sinking sensation caused by Freshman midyears. We weathered them successfully ; and now two things engross our attention. The Mascot! We must find it! And our basketball team must go down victoriously in C. C.s annals. The future seems full of ex- citement and successmay it prove so! 113 Freshman Glass OFFICERS President Theodosia Hewlett Vice-President Helen Hood Secretary Katherine Swan Treasurer Lois Gordon Historian Mary Philp Cheer Leader Hazel Osborn Well, here we are, your Freshman class! One hundred and twenty- one strong! Yet, how weak we felt, especially our knees, when we acquired a col- lege, an advisor, a schedule and upper classmen, all in one daySeptember 18th, 1922. Weaker still we were, after viewing the wise whisperings and knowing nods among the Sophomores, as we horded together on the floor of the Gym to hear our fate pronounced in stentorian tones. How heartily we applauded when one of our number, who, when asked to give the names of the various class Presidentsin numerical orderreplied respectfully: Alice Holeombe, Gloria Hollister, and Miss Crawford. Who shall say that we have not that discretion which is the better part of valor? From then on we took courage, rallied around our newly elected of- ficers and presented a mass formation at the games and parties which fol- lowed. We have tied the Sophomores in hockey ; we have warbled our sere- nades ; we have sung our Christmas Carols; sh!we have passed our mid- vears! And now we have a bold symbolwatch for him; we have our colors they're in our banner. Still more, even now we get all thrilly and excited as we come closer and closer to MAY DAY.

All rules are made by the students themselves and student government here has really proved itself to be self-government. In realization of this the entire student body repeats the Student Government oathadopted from the Athenian Oath -each fall. We will never, by any selfish or other unworthy act, dishonor this our College; individually and collectively we will foster her ideals and do our utmost to instill a like respect in those among us who fail in their responsibility ; unceasingly we will strive to quicken a general realization of our common duty and obligation to our College. And thus in manifold service we will render our Alma Mater greater, worthier, and more beautiful. COUNCIL MEMBERS Julia Warner President . : 2 . s Vice-President .

We clasp that ball for our life and start to run when we recollect that we are not playing football. We shoot baskets wildly and show evident surprise and consternation when the iron hoop does not bound out to receive the balls. We show equal surprise and consternation when our shots are successful.

We face the deadly missile with a daredevil do or die feeling which collapses in a great sigh of relief as we hear our friend the umpire shout, Three strikes and out! We amble thankfully to our base on four balls and eye the first baseman appre- hensively to see whether she is hiding the ball or not. Freshman year we usually passed first basemenall basemen with icy stares. Last year we were fooled and our Freshman year championship went down in a 50-0 defeat. This yearwe wait.

We ran wildly between the wickets and were told to take our timeto gauge our distance and be leisurely. We left our bats and found we should have carried them.

Faculty contributions have appealed to the readers, even though at times faculty criticism has created a considerable stir in stu- dent circles. Students have responded well to the call for open letters and have expressed their opinions quite frankly in the Free Speech Column.

Time: Any night during November. Setting: The American Flag holds itself proudly on the right of the stage. Just behind it the foreleg of the piano sticks inquisitively into sight. The chapel table holds the foreground with a chair on either side and the piano bench hovers at an angle on the left of the stage. Numerous girls sit in groups about the room with coats pulled high over their chins, shivering nevertheless. A careworn individual enters with hair in her eyes and costumes in her arms. She cries out, Orphans, raise your hands. One, two. All here we can begin. Twelve miscellaneous looking individuals trail onto the stage in a lackadaisical manner. They manage to shout their names and master the one speech in unison. Then there is a low moan from No. 5. Oh, I've forgotten how my jaw is meant to go. An agonized moment ensues in which the victim strives to change her moronic expression to its natural state. Slowly her eyes resume their straight-forward position, her jaw gives up its disjointed, dejected attitude. Once more the orphans are able to continue. All goes smoothly until Roger, caught in the midst of a gesture, pauses, hand suspended in air, tosses several long black hairs from her eyes and groans, EughI've forgotten it. Honestly, Ginny, I triedeven wrote it down twenty times on paper. Well, can't you remember what it is you always forget. I can't tell you every night. Gad, of all'. Yes. 'Gad, of all your mighty theories this is the best yet. The child was but three weeks old. Embury has reached his great scene. Several orphans seated in the front row, eyes wide, biting their lips with interest, sigh and murmur Wonderful!? And so it goes. 129 History Club A famous Sage once said that all History may be reduced to one sen- tence: They were born, they suffered, they died. Our History Club at- tempts to alleviate future suffering in the light of a study of past suffering. The aim of the History Club is to prepare its members for a life of Good Citizenship. A few of the ways of accomplishing this end are: 1. Intelligent discussion of current topics, and their causes. 2. Dramatic presentation of Historical events. 3. Speakers on present day civie problems. Of course any one of these, carried to the extreme, would be of little valuemight even be dangerous. But under the thoughtful guidance of Mrs. Noel the History Club manages to arrive at that enviable balance which makes its meetings both profitable and interesting.

We admit that we may be fairly required to explain why we are here; why, that is, we presumed to add yet one more organization, The Interna- tional Relations Club, to the motley horde that already cluttered the cam- pus and eclipsed the curriculum. Our Club is the offspring of two ideas. Idea No. 1: College life con- sists of extra curricular activities and intra-curricular passivities. The undergraduate reaction to a new course in the curriculum is passive resist- ance; but to a new club for studying the same subject, active interest. Idea No. 2: The world needs more war. There is far too much of sweetness and light among the nations. As citizens of a democracy, soon to become its leaders, we greatly need to learn at once all about the amenities of war and also its causes, so that we may be fully ready to enjoy and promote it when we grow up. The Institute of International Education is abetting us with books, pamphlets, advice, and speakers. Of these laiter, Baron Korff, a Russian scholar and nobleman in exile, brought us interesting information about Russia's foreign policy ; Mr. Kenneth Lindsay, international debater and athlete, just out of Oxford and a member of the British Labor Party, proved even more interesting, being a younger man.

Now this maiden had never before left her rose-vined cottage, so that when she talked with the others her voice, her manner and her very thoughts were like frail, pink rose-petals. At first the others, who had visited the court and heard the soft words of young gallants, smiled with amusement at her naive phrases. She saw and wondered. But as she told her delicate fairy dreams, they openly laughed at her unworldliness and scoffed because in all her life she had never listened to a gallant courtier. Whereupon the maiden crept away alone and wept because she did not understand. When she returned to her companions she did not reveal her quaint fancies, but listened eagerly. And she learned that those with whom she toiled for wisdom were called cynics. Then for many days she pondered. She, too, must be a cynic. And as she thought one day beside a rose-tree in the garden, an old witch-woman rapped her smartly on the arm and said, And would you be a cynic? The way forward is easy, but the return is full of stones and briars. But, stay, give me your rose-petaled thoughts, your fairy-silvered dreams, and I will make you a cynie. Then the maiden clapped her hands with joy and cried, Take them all. And make me like the others. And the old witch-woman shook her head three timesforward and back, forward and back, forward and back. . . . She was gone. For a moment the maiden stood staring at the rose-tree, and then she murmured with a toss of her head, Oh, it's only a thorn-tree, anyway, and returned to her companions. The days stole by like a swift-flowing river, and now the maiden laughed with a sound like tinkling ice, with a downward twist to her lips. Her companions gathered in groups and mourned and lamented the change. She was so sweet, they said. We laughed, yet we really loved her rose- petaled thoughts. But now her words are more cruel than ours, and her smile cuts like a sabre. Whenever the maiden drew near, they wandered away, and she was left to stand by the rose-tree, and say, It's only a thorn. 141 groups drifted away to wondered and said, They ehow her heart was so her lips twisted down- am fairy-silvered fancies, ould think only, It's a ;Weight in her heart grew nd cried, Give me back ?xif But I'm lonely.

It was The beginning of things new, Qur Junior year had opened,but we, Careless of books from a long summer's Freedom, sat in the grass and talked Of the people we'd met, and we Looked far out to sea to the dim blue islands; And the strangeness of things familiar, When you see them again after wan- derings, Came into our hearts, and we mused. And now, little bittersweet berries, You've thrown open your orange jackets Revealing your scarlet waistcoats, And you droop o'er the rim of the low Green bowl where I placed you, Like withered, three-petaled flowers. And I, with Spring in my heart, Reproach you, because I want violets. Cool and dainty and fragrant, Perched on delicate stems above heart- shaped leaves, I am tired of your cheerful persistence, Your dry, everlasting gay color! Sceme day I shall throw you out; But a smothered, pensive remembrance Will come to me then, I'm afraid, Of that day, above the river, when we Sat in the grass, and talked. DISTRACTION As I look out over the Sound, I am wondering What can the end of this college life bring Why do I work, but why do I fool, Just why do I do anything. Many times I have sat thus and gazed Far into the limitless sky and sea, There I am striving to find the answer. Oh, what good is an A in history to me. Now the smoke from a roof is blackly ascending, It clouds the blue of the sky and the sea. Why the smoke, why the sea, why the sky, why the world? Perhaps an answer there is in the soul of me. They say we have soulsits only a name, But there is something funny that's in us down deep, That makes us wonder, and work, and look, And makes us think when we'd rather sleep. T know that we're all made differently.

The other third are either not so else are possessed of a super control of emotional , strange and obnoxious as it may be, those who of cherishing a college memory book the epitome of sentiment in the inner recesses of their sacred sanctums. What's in this book nobody will ever know, but it probably bulges with tender mementos that have been clandestinely tucked away. I confess to excel in the greatest repulsion at the thought of sentiment and yet how it irks me to admit ity I can often feel it surging around my vitals. I know that in the dim future, as I gaze over my first attempt at cherry pie and find friend husbhand awkwardly ridding his face of stones, I shall recall a similar scene in Thames Hall, and shall surely quaver with emotion at the reminiscence. So why should we scoff so much at sentiment since we are all endowed with it in similar proportions? It is only one of those unfortunate things like old clothes that all of us possess but vary in the ability to conceal. sl gy, R COLLEGE CURRICULUM? 7.00 A.M. Alarm goes off.

Which was Nan, rsterious invitation. fl:pnight, the letter had sai d, be sure to wear INVINCIBLE CHAIRS Has your college life made you callous and hardened to atmospheres, have you lost your former sensitivity and do you pride yvourself on this change, thinking that now you have gained poise and may rise above ex- ternal eircumstances? In many respects I secretly chortle and gloat over my polished veneer, which makes me appear efficient or charming at my will, but my hardening process is not yet sufficiently complete to insure me freedom. Far from it. Try as I will I can no longer conceal what I am about to confess. My life is still largely ruled by chairs. I had thought ! had at last escaped their haunting, subtle power. How vain was this thought! The other day I went to a small afternoon tea. It was to be very informal, I was told, and, feeling rather sociable and extremely good na- tured, I anticipated a most enjoyable afternmoon. T arrived in a jovial, jubilant frame of mind, and as I knew all of the guests I wandered around the room, speaking first to this person and then to that, amusing myself to the utmost. My hostess walked over to me and asked me to come over and sit beside her. Charmed, I mumbled, but my gaze became fixed with hor- ror. The chair she waved me to was a stiff backed, spindly legged object of the period of Louis XIV. Terror filled me. T knew, I knew that that chair would become my master, would make of me a stiff, stilted, verbose creature, loathsome and intolerable under any circumstances, but especially at a tea. Reluctantly, even trembling, I walked over and sat upon it and fought in vain against the formal, stiff, stilted mood into which I felt myself gradu- ally lapsing. The others talked vivaciously but I could not. My conversa- tion became trite. Even my very thoughts were trite. The chair had seeped its cloying rigidity inte my soul. It held my mind and feelings, bound in a vice. At last I ceased my efforts to fight against it. If it had only been an old-fashioned carved oak chair I would have felt shy and demure, have fluttered my eyelashes and smiled trustingly at all, my face suffused from time to time with a deep blush. Or if it had been a morris chair, I would have been Bohemianwhile blowing blaze rings of smoke, I would have been subtle and cynical in my poignant repartee and would have felt myself to out-do Cleopatra in charm and grace of manner. Or again if it had been an armchair covered in plush I would have been luxuriant and benevolent, have smiled benignly and perhaps a trifle condescendingly, or a wicker chair would have made me bourgeois and gossipy, excelling all in sharp, catty remarks. Any of these would have been preferable to the frozen silence which then exuded from me, chilling all my neighbors. Just so my whole life will always be governed by the chair offered me by my hostess and, try as I will, I become weak and submissive under the pursuing influence of chairs. 147 ;jd'tig6ii,nit- 1 ely sonnet. ust change to blue, ce, it sounds so sweet upon the street; l-boys when they meet; quite discreet. to savor, quite, it rhymes with bite, i, . lly gone and done it: any sonnet. unfinished now, 8 to rhyme with thou, THIRD FLOOR BRANFORD That floor of iniquity sunk into the mirk of perdition, seeped in veri- table sinthat floor seen through the blue mists of hazy smokethat floor of which more and more is said each day, and each day that more becomes worse.
