MARY HINKLEY, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aunt Mary, H Mrs. Hinkley. K E, Thespis, Lib. K 2. 435. Aunt Mary often wishes she were not so con- venient. but the rest of us like it. You see she always has pins, needles, medicine, bags-any thing you need-even advice-and she dispenses with them all freely to everybody, faculty in- cluded. So whatever we need, we call on her. Of course, when we are having a good time and she advises us not to be so noisy, that is not so welconieg but it makes up when questions are given in class for everybody and Aunt Mary ' answers before the rest of us have time to display our ignorance. We all love her and are glad to have her one of us. DAISY ABIGAIL I-Iown, Gardner, Mass. Deah-heaht, Diz. Q M. Spare her at least. Feel so sorry for Daisy, you know. Someway, she talks queerly, but she don't noticeit. And Wahnah tells her she says things just like other girls from Gahdna. Gets letters from paupa and mau1na fdouble quick timej and often starts to tell about them but doesnit get far. Question was once raised in Sociology, What is the diiference between Miss Howe and a Dago ?l' but no one could see any, so she has sent for a monkey-didnft have to send far-and will return to her native town by way of the back streets.

LUCY LAFAYETTE GREEN, Westield, N. J. Luc, Cotton, Twiuf' K E, Thespis, V. Pres. C1-'04j, Art Ed. IRIS. Out of the garden of play time,-out of the bovver of rest Fain would I follow at day time music that calls toa quest. The only music we ever heard Lucy herself pro- duce, is that of the chapel bell-yet they say the quotation suits her. Just has an ear for other people's music, maybe, and can appreciate it. Did you ever hear Cotton laugh ? Must be she never did then or you would have heard it. Has great artistic ability-apply at IRIS office for par- ticulars. Interesting to look at-with soft, curly hair, languid eyes, and freckles. Recently has taken to crushes and bead chains. Hei diddle, diddlef' , ANNAH LOUISE GRIFFIN, Big Flats, N. Y. Ann, Punikinf' Q M. Her face is lean and her wit is keen And her eye lets nothing pass. Ann knows a lot, but she's so bloomin' back- ward about telling it. Lives so near home her interest is divided-between us and-her rela- tives of course. Entertains us a great deal with stories of college girls we have never heard of before, and never would hear of from Ann herself. A living exampleiof promptness in pay- ing dues, making beds, etc.-and often used as call boy for girls that have 8 o'clocks. 26

ADDA :MCDANIELS LONG, Mechanicsburg,' Pa. 5' Songy. K E. ' Hungry as the grave. Very small. naturally shy about reciting in class. But at times we do manage to drag from her some little remark on her father and some- thing about his oiiice. And once, in a burst of confidence, she told us that her uncle ate bread and butter with his strawberries. She's a chronic eater-strange in one so small-and her regular form of greeting has come to be a very polite Got anything to eat ? EFFIE P. MAXWELL, Oshkosh, Wis. Eff' Rugglesf' K Z, B. B. Team Q3j, Thespis. Around the cycle of the season whirls And Ithaca is filled with pretty girls Who take our rooms and make us sweep the Hoors And clean the house, and then go live outdoors. We imagine Effie might be nice, but We don't see much. of her-she spends half her time at Ithaca., and the other half getting over it. An awful good looker, with eyes that seem interest- ed even when she is yawning-mentally. Has dimples, too, that she lets us see once in a while. Said to be a shark in science, but has recently given it up for higher mathematics. 28
