GERTRUDE DAPHNE SEELY, Osceola, Pa. T1'udy, MisS O'Sailey. K E, Asst. Bus. Mgr. IRIS, Treas. 423, Senator q3J. 'L 'Tis death to me to be at enmity. I hate it, and desire all good ments love. Can't roast her,-she never does it-y things. A very staid, prosaic girl with a sort of Johnny- on-the-spot brain that thinksof just the right word in Latin, and of just the right way of send- inga message in Sociology. Could give, Gibson many hints on posing-and illustrate them. She's very slight and has recently taken to drinking cream. We rlon't know why. A perfect shark at getting ads. for the IRIS-especially from such people as have for some reason or other retired from business. EDNA E. SPRING, Elmira, N. Y. Sophie, U Twinsf' K E, B. B. Team Q1-35. HOh Spring so green, thy touch is seen In blossom, leaf and bud, But truth to tell---thou art a sell, Oh Spring, thy name is mud. L' Ye gods, what dignity ! When called on in class she rises slowly, pulls her gown more closely about her, and in a slow, impressive voice begins her recitation. If cross-questioned by the in- structor, her sang-froid is superb. Waits a mo- ment with a pitying smile upon her face, as if interrupted by a small child, and then, unmffled, in a firm but irreproachably courteous manner, continues to state her original view of the sub- ject. Yet she can unbend. And some say she has one of those musical laughs you read about- the kind that bubbles and ripples as from a Spring. 30

MARY WOODWARD METZGER, 'I-Elnrira, N. Y. Bones, Skinny. QF M, Thespis. Put me off at Buffalo? Usually very quiet, but has a patent yell that works with a spring which she keeps Well oiled. Oversensitive in the use of expressive language and inserts blanks for such words as door, etc., but somehow makes herself understood. She's getting thin-just see how that blue skirt laps over. Up to all sorts of stunts-lighting cork tips and such. Spoons on Mike, but acts quite rational when she's' not around. Fond of sports -hunting Harry game and Drake shooting -but hasn't caught anything as yet. If not suc- cessful this year-will go abroad. Member of Kappa Iota Sigma Sigma. RENA RocKWELL, Elmira, N. Y. K E, Biol., Pres. Biol. 131, Pres. Q1-21, Editor- in-Chief IRIS, Sibyl Board. Tully was not so eloquent as thouf' Terribly smart-and seems even smarter be- cause she neyer gets fussedf' When called on for impromptu speeches, gets up calmly and reels off joke after joke in the most careless manner. Once lately her Wit deserted her and she carried out to perfection the character thrust upon her. Heretofore quite a healthy looking girl, she has recently had some trouble with her heart, and we fear for its effect on her. You see she has a crush 'S and is overworking herself to entertain her and visit he1'. 29

CLARA ADELINE TERMANSEN, Stony Point. Te1'my, Term. K 2, Thespis, B. B. Team Q31 H Through the vail the1'e comes a wail Shrilly crying? Clara is one of our noisiest girls. Although a year's addition to the class of '05, we all learned her value as a rough-houser long? ago. It was at the time of the Fresh-Sophomore scrap when this descendant of Hercules lifted three of us up bod- ily and deposited us on the corridor floor,-and la Petite was one of the ejected three, too. But later, when she became one of us. she made just reparation-for it was her stentorian voice which at our spread, warned us that 'the Sophomores were trying to effect an entrance through the transom.: ETHEL MAY WHEELER, Haverstraw, N. Y. Eppyfi Sukey, Philotesf' QM, B. B. Team flj, Sec. Q2-3j, Cor. Sec. Q5 M CBD, Bus. Mgr. Q M CEU. Let our old acquaintance be renewed. Ethel is terribly bashful-almost the only one of the sort in the class. Has dimples, too. Likes everybody and agrees with everybody that she can, without flatly contradicting herself. Finan- cially busted, and has to have supplies of pencils, candy, etc., sent up in donations. Soft on Sally. Begins early on cuts to avoid the rush at the end. 31
