Infiz M. Bang hart Maquoketa, Iowa Inez IS with us only by fits and starts, mostly starts for New ' l ork. She thinks no more of running over to Gotham than we do of running over to Hood’s. We expect that she is as well known a figure on Broadway as the Flatiron Building. Were she as often seen here we might tell you more about her. Hf.len H. Bartel Waltham, Massachusetts 1 he only thing we would recommend for 1 felen’s further evolution is to wrestle vigorously with her deplorable use of slang. It is the one indication we find m her of earthly contamina- tion. Otherwise we feel her likely to take wing with Ibsen and Mrs. Black and soar to realms unvisited by the .Mundane We. We have a sneaking susi)icion that she will soon have an opportunity to [ilay Juliet to a New ork Romeo, rather than Romeo to a Juliet of Mrs. I licks’ selection. 24

Florence E. Bailey Watertown, Massachusetts Florence’s tall stateliness has been so utilized in dramatics to produce the illusion of mascu- linity that she has been obliged to hold m leash any material inclination to play the clinging vine, for the roster of the class provides no sturdier oak than herself on which to lean. Her hospitality has saved many a senior derelict wrecked on the shoals of the high cost of living. Ethel H. Baker Winterfort, Maine Perhaps no one in the college has given the faculty more trouble than Ethel Baker. She makes so much noise. Mrs. Rogers just fol- lows her about the halls trying to keep her from disturbing the classes, for, of course, Ethel cuts up terribly! However, when she reads Ethics papers she makes us all feel like freshmen, for to the joy of Mrs. Southwick’s heart, she thinks. 23

Marie Bellefontaine Malden, Massachusetts Who would think that this devout little maiden has a passion for dancing? et such IS the case, and she is really very good at it. Another thing Mane might pride herself upon is her eyes. Her Parisian touch is noticeable in everything she undertakes. As a producer of pantomime. Miss Bellefontaine has brought dis- tinction to Emerson. Alma Lee Brown Arkadelphia, Arkansas Alma comes from way out among the In- dians — but she isn’t like them. She is mild and harmless and certainly not lazy. In the Emer- son hive Alma is not one of the drones. Her two favorite selections are “Browning’s ‘Star,’ by Browning,” and “L’Envoi.” In the latter she explains to the tired Emersonians that “Only the good shall be happy. They shall sit in an old armchair.” Well, everyone has a right to her own con- ception of Paradise! 25
