Since then she has developed into a pleasing and attractive Senior. Although “Sadie enjoys dancing, her pet. hobby is motoring. In that, she is accomplished. Per- haps it accounts for the roses in her cheeks, the recipe for which has long been sought by all the other girls. From her splendid playing at the Forum we easily know “Sa- die's forte is .music, in which she intends to specialize at Xew York Fni versify. For success along that line—well, we scarcely need to wish it to her. ‘ Hoc it ft ensh n i ct Jx crimson in th, li n and in ift 1 cheeks. EMILY CATHERINE DOAVXEY “ 7 m.

Ever smiling at all difficulties, Teddy” is the possessor of an enviable record. Her literary ability will, undoubtedly, make her a most promi- nent candidate for the staff of the “Encyclo- pedia Brittaniea.” Furthermore, she is very eminent as a botanist, having utilized her spare summer months in thinning out tur- nips. Unlike her namesake. “Teddy’’ is not interested in hare (hear) gardens. Her artistic taste accounts for her membership in the Junior Committee for Class Day Dec- orations.
