FLORENCE L. BROWN Flossie Course 1 College Activities: Student Service 35 French Play 4. College : Brown University. Florence is quite a demure young lady and to the uninitiated might seem bashful.

Florence can read a geometry proposition with as much feeling as most of us could put into H-amlet's soliloquies-we beg your pardon, Florence, with much more feeling than we could put into Hamlet's soliloquies. What we want to know is this: What are you going to Gorham Normal School for? We thought you wanted to read, not teach reading. MARIE CAMPBELL Course : General Hobby: Driving the car. Ambition: To be a stenographer. Marie was once a Bangor girl before she joined our ranks: Whoever turned her steps this way deserves our hearty thanks.
