ALICE MFUPIIY. There is no getting around the fact that Alice is a quiet little maid. Even when she recites in class we have some difficulty in hearing what she says. Naturally, it is believed that this must be due to shyness on her part, for she blushes very, very easily. However, there are enough people around school to make a racket, and a few like Alice are needed to balance them. OLIVE NEWELL. Olive is known to be a regular shark in school. Ever since her Freshman days she has had that reputation. She never fails to have her notebook tinished on time, and the less brilliant students V) are always eager to borrow them, and make up their own belated work. There are lots of other nice tilings we'd like to say about Olive if there was time. She lias made many friends in E. F. A., and when she graduates, ami pursues learning yet further, she will surely keep right on making them, wherever she goes. JENNIE A. MYKR. JANE” This charming young Miss, our sweet little Jennie. Her giggles are few, her virtues are many ; In Vergil she translates with rhythm poetic. In chapel, with boys, she is really magnetic. In Who’ll (let It?” she revealed her powers as a mimic. In the delightful role of sweet Cyn- thia. the cynic: If you wonder at the laziness and sweetness of this lamb. The answer's in her initials, just look 1 J. A. M.

Because of this fact he was given a seat in the front row in chapel that others might have a look at him. His chief activity in school consists of going to U7 each Friday morn- ing to call the Commercial studes in to rhetoricals. Guy is a good basket ball player and is very grace- ful when tripping t lie light fan- tastic. lie wiars his hair in a College Brand manner and conse- quently is very popular with the girls. ills greatest faults are his aversion towards work and his pro- pensity for large smiles. One of his greatest accomplish- ments is his ability to look wise when the teacher catches his eye so that she usually calls on the other fellow, who doesn't look wise.

We have here a quiet young Miss who came to our school via Riverside and No. 3. She Is well equipped with smiles and a very good dispo- sition. Anna has no especial concern for masculine students, although she and Jimmie Murray (’Oil) may usu- ally he seen sauntering up the walk about K ;. 9 a. m. She lias much abil- ity as an elocutionist and lias enter- tained us very agreeably witli her selections. Her blonde hair is not the least of her charms. IM'TI I I. METZGER. Our athletic marvel: she ride» horseback like a Bellerophon; plays ten- nis till her opponents drop away from sheer exhaustion; were it per- mlssable for young ladles to indulge in baseball. Ruth would come for- ward : above all however, is her un- precedented ski 1 in shooting baskets from any corner of the held. Resides all these marvelous Teats (keep it dark) she can balance anything on tin end of her nose! OirVft Henkel ll ill Team. DANIEL ME EC AI1Y. “1)AN” Dan is one of the ornaments of (lie back of chapel, where his ready smile may lie seen at any time of day. lie is a student in every sense of the word but one. that Is, he knows enough not to prepare his German on the days he isn't going to get called on. Otherwise, he is a very industrious young man and is seldom heard from.

I-AUMIONTEH. ROBERT J. bobbie” Little Robert. « ur singer. A nice, little youngster, with a ready sm c for all. He has a peculiat habit of making short calls on Miss Kel- logg in the morning instead of str- ing to recite, but he doesn’t let that worry him. “Bobbie” makes his biggest hit In Base Ball, play- ing In the center garden, where he chases around like a big leaguei. He Is extremely proud of his bari- tone voice, which he displayed so well In Who'll Get It?” and in the Class Book Committer, President of Glee Club, Class Historian, Base Ball Team, Lambda Sigma. RUTH PICKERING. “I’lCK” Behold the Woman Suffragist! Pick is really wild about the Rights of Women, but that Is only one of the many things in which she displays unbounded enthusiasm. It's no wonder that so many things depend on her, and that everyone has faith in whatever she does. Just to look at Pick” one would know that she has high ideals, and that she will do her best to realize them. A few years hence, after site leaves Vassar, we expect to hear great things about her—if she isn’t travel- ing around delivering speeches about Woman Suffrage, she is sure to be famous in some worthy career. Class Poet, Editor in-Chief Clgss Hook. Reception Committee; Girls’ Basket Ball Team, Adelphia. ANNA PHILLIPS. Anna surely takes life cheerfully. Nothing ever seems to trouble her, and she sees the silver lining of every cloud. Not knowing her les- son is the next best thing to know- ing it. In her estimation. It’s surely good to be an optimist, for there’s no one more depressing than one who sees the worst side of life. ♦ KATHARINE PRATT. “tonie” Perhaps it’s difficult to believe that Katharine is studious, but it’s true—not that she Is a grind, only very conscientious about her lessons. The thing for which she is espec- ially noted is her giggling. It is even doubtful as to whether four years at Wellesley will cure her of this life long habit. “Prattle” cer- tainly is an adorable child; that is very easy to believe. And if one is skeptical just ask the boys what they think about her. Organizer (llec Club; Adelphia. ■4
