G. W. U. The 1913 Cherry Tree G. W. U. Senior College Alice Burritt District of Columbia Alice may always be known by her cheery smile. She is teaching school just now, but of late she has seemed to loose interest in her academic pursuits. Perhaps her knowl- edge of cooking and domestic science will be of use to her before long. Who knows? Well all admit that G, W, U. men are the best anyhow. Minnie Carter Davis Tennessee Came to G, W, U, from Central with a record which she continued in her Freshman year here. Then the wanderlust took her, and she went to the University of Tennessee for her Sophomore and Junior years. How- ever she decided id take here degree from G. W, U, and with the Class of 1912. Next year she expects to teach in the high school at Knoxville, Tennessee. Ralph Hospital., ® a X. . . . District of Columbia Class President 1910-11: Chairman Upper Class Dance Committee 1911-42; Assistant Manager Track 1911- ' 12; Cherry Tree” Staff 191041, 1912-13. Some men are born bright, others achieve brightness, while still others have bright- ness thrust upon them. Ralph has a reputa- tion for all three, and, just as in his college days, by his personality and his unceasing labor, he has made one long bright day for himself and his friends, so he will continue to achieve, and even though the path to suc- cess may lead to the far side of the globe, our thoughts will follow. A. B. Eva Phelps Kelley, 5 K Nebraska Our Eva ' s name might well be Late,” We even expect the Angel Gabriel to wait at least an hour after he has blown the last blast. Her great charm is her low, gurgling laughter when she ' s decidedly pleased, or surprised She ' s quiet, but for a perserver- ing student you can’t beat” her. Katharine Kerby. x fi. . .District of Columbia Senior Play Committee. We have all sometime or other flunked out in class while gazing raptly at Katharine ' s proud beauty. And when those languorous accents in linked sweetness long drawn out” fell from those cherry red lips we thought an +H E” a cheap price to pay for the privilege. Oh, well-a-day! she ' s leaving us now. Nevermore shall we hear her sweet tones declaring to Dr. Swisher that all the industrial progress of the last 150 years has been due to women. 27
