She has dis- graced us with an A in Philosophy, or something. She did for us a charming interpretative Grelek dance Qthus the austere senior president and G. O. secretarylj which she learned at Barnard, and regaled us with the following choice bits of information : Ruth Maier, of WI-IlAT'S WHAT and Little Women fame, has started right: in at N. KY. U. and has already appeared in several of their dramatic productions. Her career will be worth watching. And she's taking Greek! QCarolyn registers a mental doubt as to the inducement-she waweirs between the charm of the language and the charm of the Greieik Profj Edna Metzger, who graced the G. O. chair, is on the basket-ball Varsity squad. This looks bad for Barnard's rivals. Theo Shapiro is teaching kindergarten. She has been elected president of thfel Sigma Alumnae. Some of us remember her dynamic personality. Get tloigether, girls, and listen to the scandal about Anna: Heller, once' G. O. president. If yioiu only saw her frat pin! fHere Carolyn looked mystic and chanted, Where, oh where has her Sigma pin gone to? j Hunter's pretitiest Alumna, Adele Garmise, is one of the four in her class considered physically top-notch. Well she was the president of the A. A.! And talking about the A. A., the redoubtable Naomi Lubell is very prominent in athletics at Barnard. She has a habit of winning points at swimming meets. Her sister, Tommy, is at Teachers College. 103

Ihr Argun Receives a Message From Mrs. Hammond Member of the Latin Department In a Famous New York High School Have classes personality ? Indeed they have. Sometimes we teachers must wait a long time before wie' discover it, but eventually it make.s itself evident. The personality of a class is, strange to say, the personality not of the class' as a whole, but that of a few leading girls, whom the rest follow, just like little sheep. fMrs. Hamm0nd's friendly smile at this point indicated a sympathe.tic understanding of the little sheep. j When we are familiar with the personality of a class, We can handle it more intelligently. Sometimes classes are very painstaking with their homework, but perhaps will not take so kindly to any discussion outside of the lesson, while others will be vwery receptive to outside information, and perhaps not so careful about homework. When, after a term or two, we teach again a class we have had before, we can detect changes in the personality of a class, and even of individuals in it. I mean not only changes of expression, wlhich are often evident, 'but also a maturer out- look, a more illumined attitude. Else what would our school be Worth? CEditor's Note: It is not often that the student body has the opportunity of getting such frank, interesting first hand infor- mation about itself. Let us look to our personalitylj , .. .

THE ARGUS Mosetta White,' that girl of thqey myriad aceomplis!hme,nts and wonderful height, is the secretary of her class at Barnard. Poor Carolyn! I had pumped and pumped and pumped! Out of the kindness of my heart, and in consideration of the above valuable information, I gave her a Luden's Cadv't.J Cough Drop. wk :sf 4: wk 4 Nmelie Spiegel, erstwhile G. O. vice-president, paid a call on Hunter's Hall-the third floor corridor, to be exact-one day. We rushed iirotebook and pencil in ih'and, and assailed her with questilolns. After a few perfunctory remarks about the ubiquity of reporters, she spake thusly: Gertrude Ackerman, who presidented the G. O., is now presidenting the upper freshmen at Hunter. And looking back at her past record here, we can only say that hers is a lucky class. Beatrice Freeman is editor of The Wistarian. Ethel Harris, once senior president, whose foul shots were the envy of us all, is at T. C. Then along came little Edith Esbach, valiant forward of the Varsity Team, and told us that Amelie is a Students Council rep, and also on the advertising staff of The Wistarian. After which we passed the Smith Bros. -Qadv'tj Cough Driops. as wk as -of 4: It is whlispered tlhlat there is a movement afoot for the suppression of the absorption in chapel of Grace Levinson's lunch by Grace Liefvinson. Is it morally right for her thus to taunt the good, lunchless ones? as- :sf an we wk We came across Helaine Newstead calmly contemplating the very pink likeness lof lhlerself which some inartistic enthu- siast had culled from the very 'pink pages of a very pink jour- nal, and impaled on tihle bulletin board, on the third floor off Hunter College High School. When we discovered Helaine, she was improving the, arch of her pictured eyebrow with a fountain pen, and obliterating thfe! vwords, Oh is she, tHoug'hS? which some unkind person had inserted after a killing phrase which proclaimed her an accomplished linguist. Sic transit! 104
