CATIIBKINB FRANCBS O’CONNOR. “ Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax.” Catherine looks demure but in this case looks are deceiving. She has studied fairly hard for four years and is quite a shark in French. Noted for her goo-goo eyes. MARY MARGARET O’CONNOR. ‘‘A mighty hunter and her prey was — man.” i May is another one of those who love (?) civics. She can talk like a phonograph when once she is wound up. j Noted for her style. I I ANNIE LETITIA PARKHURST. “I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide.” Annie is one of the smartest members of the class. When not studying she divides her time between cer- tain Juniors. Among other things she is a musician. Chief diversion — studying Greek. ALICE ROSINA PEPIN. “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Alice is one of the most popular girls of the class and also is a great favorite of Miss Currier. She can write shorthand and talk baby talk. Chief occupation — studying her profile. 2S

ALICE ANNE McNAMARA. “Whose medium body lodged a mighty mind.’’ Alice used to get lost in the crowd because of her petite size, and when not lost she is tr dng to grow tall to prevent it. Her voice is correspondingly tiny, to Miss Stratton’s annoyance. Noted for the good marks she gets. HELEN MARGARET MULHERN. “ Few words suffice.’’ Helen is one of our mum members. She doesn’t say very much, but once in a while gains courage to make a speech in civics and then blushes for an hour afterwards. Chief occupation — studying. NELS ALBIN NELSON. “ Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore.’’ Nels sometimes suffers at the hands of some of the big boys on account of his size. When he sat in 32 his shoes were to be found anywhere but on his feet. Besides being an excellent artist he is one of our best speakers. Noted for his pompadour. ELLA NICHOLS. “A rose, but set with little wilful thorns.’’ Ella has the distinction of being our smallest lass, yet she isn’t always quite as innocent as she looks, for she finds time to make trouble for the teachers. She used her persuasive tongue to good advantage in the Debating Club, Noted for her cheerfulness. 27

JOSEPH MOORE PEIRCE. “There was all the world and his wife.’’ Joe was told by a fortune-teller that he was to be a “ladies’ companion.’’ He has been a companion to Alice for (juite a while. He is an expert in mechanical drawing and we expect to see him some day holding down the job Sager left. Noted for his constancy. KATHERINE CECELIA RATCHFORD. “And such a one do I remember, Whom to look at was to love.’’ Kitty is one of our “dreams,” that is, we mean she is one of our good-looking girls. She always manages to make life interesting for those about her. Noted for her baby eyes and curls. MAY MARGARET REILLY. “ Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.’’ May keeps out of sight as much as possible, but we suspect this is to give her more leeway for mis- chief-making. She flirts desperately with Air. Albro, but in vain, since he is already elsewhere attached. Noted for her gentle voice. ESTHER ROWE ROSS. “Her friends — they are many; Her foes — are there any?’’ Esther is one of our good little girls although she has been known to be bad on occasions. Her favor- ite color is red — because it has a fascination for Bulls, we suppose. She is a member of Mr. Woodward’s special chorus and is one of our best artists. Chief amusement — entertaining Bull. 29
