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

ETHEL ADAMS When she was a Freshman she took things hardthat's the way to take things when one is a Freshmanwe al- ways look for later results from Fresh- men who are intense in their reactions to college life and life in general. 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

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.
