Yes, of course, is hIofEllen. One's first thought of her is that, for she has certainly won a reputation for her unusual sense of humor, and her wit. It keeps us stepping when Jo is along, for she is always just one step ahead. You can imagine what a good Editor of jokes she has made for the Cricket. Leading cheers is another long suit, she bounced about, quite a clown, putting pep into the Golds until they nearly raised the roof. If you ever get in bad spirits and want a cure, just call jo around and you'll be well in no time. She sings, and, as Nora in the Operetta, she was excellent, she has also occupied the choir loft for two years. As Secretary and Treasurer ofthe Glee Club, she showed her skill in handling money. Well, well jofEllen. And did she ever get ads for the PINE NEEDLE? We have her wily tongue to thank for securing those ads from stubborn business men. Much of Jo's time has been spent filling our hungry mouths from the Y. W. Candy Store, and the Senior Tea Room, which she managed for a term. She made both hockey and swimming teams for the Golds, and, as Corporal, she guided her squad through drill. From Elkins, West Virginia? Yes, and say, jo, do they grow more like you there? We'd like to know, for it is to those like you that Birmingham will gladly open her doors. Twentyfseven

Marg Olamphvll Butler. Pennsylvania fOne 'Year and a Halfj Glee Club, '31, '32 Cold Hockey Squad, '32 Class Donor, '32 Corridor Proctor, '32 Good humor only teaches charms to last. MARY One of the most individual persons in our school is Mary. Mary has ideas of note and these ideas are expressed with great emphasis. In other words, Mary has what is commonly known as a mind of her own. She is an excellent judge of character and how often we have suffered when Mary has goodfnaturedly pointed out some true defect in our character. Mary is able to express herself with an accuracy and straightforwardness of which we are all envious. We are not surprised to hear that Mary is fond of reading, No wonder she has such an extensive vocabulary and no wonder her knowledge is so general. Perhaps her readf ing has developed in her, her rather subtle sense of humor. The people who are closely assof ciated with Mary are kept amused by her running fire of comments and quick, witty ref torts. Surprisingly enough, Mary has an unbounded knowledge of sea life. But we know the source of thisfher summers spent on a yacht. Perhaps this knowledge of sea life accounts for Mary's interest in the Annapolis Naval Academy. Twentyfnine
