EDNA LOUISE BECK. DIAE ARMEDA BURT. The oliicial act of 1911 in crown- ing Mae as its queen but served to enlarge the realms of her wholn we of 1910 have ever acknowledged as our sovereign. Her sway, how- ever, extends beyond the confines of Elmira, for from Such distant places as Cornell, Syracuse and Rochester, other faithful subjects come,-especially at prom time. Versatility is Mae's strong point, at star in everything and she is from labsv to poetry writing. But in spite of her superior attributes is ever one of us for though she turns all heads toward her she has too level a one of her own to be turned--by adulationi' our Queen ELINIIRA, N. Y. The very smallest girl in college! However, the old sa-ying good things Come in small packages is true here. For we have found out that shes' a fine musician and able to do many other things well. Edna has lots of spirit and courage and was a source of inspiration at the tirne of our Freshinan rush with her Pm little, but I'1n strong. She is a very successful imitator and: Freshlnan Latin was made easier by Edna'5 classes for the study of Htwanslation, gwammah, wef'wences and pwosef' Y .N N '-NN.. . . PHELPS, N. Y.

BERTHA GRACE Amxvmrizr.. ' ELIVIIRA, N. Y. And French she spoke ful faire and fetishlyi' Such a noisy girl! The despair of all of us for we cannot impress upon her mind that she must be quiet. Yet, 'For a' that' she is one of our best students and is especial- ly noted for her thorough knowl- edge of French, and an unusually extensive, vocabulary in English. The latter she employs with great precision and accuracy. No doubt this has been an aid in her' oratori- cal work: ,, HAZEL YVINIFRED AYERS. ELDIIRA, N. Y. Hazel has proved herself most valuable to our drama for she is competent along so many lines. She writes splendid stories, is a clever artist, dramatises her stories when we want something for an entertainment, and then plays well whatever 1-ole is assigned to her. With all these qualities Hazel is sm'e to be successful and we pre- dict for her gjreat fame in whatever she undertakes. 27

HILDA XVALL BUTLER. I Hilda's sunny nature and happy disposition have made her a wel- Come member of our class. The glass of 1911 feel their misfortune in losing, as we feel our good luck in gaining such a true, sweet and brilliant girl, She is always cheer- ful. Even when her Prom man missed his train she clidn't think it an occasion for fi-owns. fProm troubles clon't affect us all that wa.y.J May I quote two of I-Iilcla's sayings: 'No slushing for me and Pvc got to go down and say good- night to Fan. MARY FLOR.ENCE CALLAHAN. ALBION, N. Y. ELIVIIRA, N. Y. KVhy speak of Florence? She made herself far renowned in the caste of The XVise Young Sopho- Xvinter mores' played during the of '07 and '08, As heroine Floss won the highest praise: 'twas her name that resounded again and again in the mouths of the audi- euceg 'twas she who received the lanrels. But then Floss is always winning lanrels for us whether it is in dramatics, athletics, class functions, or literary work. This year she is Editor-in-chief of the I1-is and Junior editor of the Sibyl. Yes, Fannie, I agree with you, it is her pleasant manner, her cheery smile, her loyal and loving nat1u'e that makes her so well likedg her intellectual ability that makes her so well-known.
