ANNA DIAY COLRIDGE. Ambition, energy and persever- ance are Anna's eliaracteristivs and in the way she utilizes every mo- ment she teaches us valuable life lessons. She takes a lively interest in anything she undertakes, and seems to enjoy her studies thor- oughly. Argumentation is her fa- vorite, however, and it is well that the farmers of our country do not investigate the effect of the tariff on them as-thoroughly as Anna or we might expeet ill general uprising in the rural d'ist1'icts. ROSA S. COTTON. I-IA RTFORD, N. Y. EI.lSIl'lT,A, N. Y. ive would prophesy for Rosa a brilliant career in the business world. She is known for her splen- did executive ability and has lots of energy and always knows just what to do. As assistant busi- ness manager of the Sibyl she has proven herself an indefatigu- able worker, and whenever ap- pointed to a committee always assumes a large share of the re- sponsibility. Rosa has a great lore for amusements, the theater is one form, andshe can tell you about all the best dramas and con- certs. She's fond of dancing, too, but thinks Ithaca the best setting for this pastime.

BIA RGERY L. CADIERON . PlCfl'El'lB 0 li 0, N - Y- My. what activity! Almost Lakes our breath away! For lllargcry is ever up and doing, always has her lessons done days ahead of tiine and then just sews and cmbroiders until we are beginning to fear for her health. She is an authority on Copley prints, and you must have her tell you about her 'La Petite Danoisef' Tliatfs the picture over her desk, and' it came all the way from Paris. Margery's greatest fad, however, is shoes, and she has them in all styles and colors. Some attribute this hobby to the fact that she oan't help being conscious of her real small feet, but Dlargery says it takes six pairs of shoes to scare away those mice in the night. FLORENCE EVA COLE. CHARLTON, N. Y. Florence is so modest and retir- ing that she would have preferred to remain undiscovered. But our dralna has the power of bringing to light all those virtues and talents which the unassuming fain would hide and so it was not long before we became aware of the noble character, sweet disposition and lit- erary ability which are hers. Vlfe are learning to value her friendship more and more every day and are just a. bit envious of a crush who doesirt happen to be in the ranks of 1910. 30

DIILDRED ELIZABETH DAVIDSON. DORA QMIRIADI DAVIS. WVho walks here so sedately? VVhy, Dora, of course. No other possesses half the dignity. To her, we feel we should give that part in our play which requires the deeper feeling rather than mere words. It is to her that we appeal for sym- pathy. Does she not feel our sor- row even before it is expressed? Perhaps we may overlook her quietness since she is one who of- fers to us the fruits of her medita- tion.. 32' 1i.AMSEY, J. Yes. other companies do want Mildred for she is such an excellent Director. She has accepted the Do- sition as President of Thespis, but from the manner in which she ar- ranges and directs our play we know that she is still faithful to our interests. Her skill and mas- tery in supervision are so extraord- inary that we cannot help wonder- ing whether those frequent trips to Cornell are taken in order to get hints for her stage work. It is re- gretted, but believed that she will give up this successful worldly career to reign in a inan's heart and home. Her kind-, generous na- ture, her thoughtfulness and fideli- ty of affection point to a hearth fire bright. PENN YAN. N. Y.
