THE fair one that heads our list is none other than rightly belongs there, because she has been connected with the College ever since her appearance in the world. We have often heard of busy men and women, and wondered how they so ordered their lives that they were able to per- form their many duties, but since meeting Annie we have ceased to wonder. She has been by far the busiest student around the place ever since her entrance upon College life, and has really taken everything in the College curriculum, except vocal and pipe organ, and she expects to take up thelatter next year. Although she graduated in Elocution this year we are glad to say she is a loyal ,O7 girl, and will finish the Classical course and Music next year, after which she will leave the protection of her home and the comforts of Mechanicsburg life for four years of work at Bryn Mawr. After many years of study and hard work she will take a trip abroad to iinish her education. Having had all these splendid advantages and opportunities surely Annie will be a perfect fulfillment of our College motto: That our daughters may be as corner-stones polished after the similitude of a palace. 102 NOT long ago Frances decided to visit a gypsy fortune- teller. Though she does not believe it, yet some of his words are rather correct. He said: You are very easy- going and take a good bit of 'comfortl out of life. That you are careless is shown by the number of bills C Bills 'D which you seem always to have. This was rather old to Frances, and, tapping the floor impatiently, she hummed a few bars from a familiar air. The fortune-teller looked at her. I wonderf' he said, half to himself, why she keeps saying 'Te-de, Te-e-e-de ? ' QT. D., T. D., Tedj Then to her, The man you will marry is tall, slender, exceedingly awkward and always holds his head in the air. He will be capable and get on well in his profession, but the large increase in your family will make it hard to manage, doubly so, since you will play rag-time all day and then complain -UI have too much to do! H i Ethel Ellbertine :Engle .IN the first place her name is Englef, and everyone knows that Engle means angel 'l in German. She really looks like one, too, but you know the old saying goes that appearances are deceiving. She comes from the Sunny South, as she says, but we can best judge for ourselves when we know that she barely crosses the border-line of

IK We'll sena' along with our President another Senior lass, Perhaps she'll go on to the Philippines To be claimed by the Reverend class, Maybe Cuba's plains may attract a Hz'll, Towards this one soul in-K'line-ing.

Pennsylvania. Has shea little Pennsylvania Dutch in her speech? Oh, no l We would not like to say that! Now we have been told that she is very much opposed to Work, but then, why should she not-be? She has two room-mates who have the most exquisite of dispositions. We do not believe in work in the South, says she, we only live for the enjoyment of life. This is all well and good, but I see years of work before this demure young miss. She takes a great interest in Gettysburg, and it does not make any difference if he is only in the Class of 1910 he will get to the top some day, and one good thing about her, she has plenty of patience. In the far future he will be a doctor, and she has plans already well formed of that happy time when as a country doctor's wife she will make his life one grand sweet song. Who knows but what she may condescend to learn the gentle art of housekeeping and forget all about her theories on the labor question. A fellow whose surname is Davis, Whom the boys call just plain Bill, Has quite a fierce case on Miss Engle And she returns it with heart and Will. She builds castles by day and dreams by night Of the doctor whom she will wed. And of all the expense in the doctor hire She will save, it can't be said. Then here's with a will to Dr. Bill, VVho will never give patients a candy pill 3 But will cure them with liquids and cure them And send them a bill they'll remember for life. :Emma Ecboonover Jfrencb ONE night while wandering in the hall of dreams, I found myself in a fair Southern town. The people of this with knife, 103 town were famed for their good will and hospitality. Pass- ing through the street to view the town I came at length to a little red school house at the outskirts of the village. There many beautiful children were running to and fro over the green grass, and their anxious faces guarded some secret lest they should betray it. Presently they called 'K Teacher l and as she came from the school house 'nod- diug and smiling at each little one, the children grouped around her, and with words of love and good will crowned her with a garland of iiowers as their queen. The scene changed. A few years had passed away. I was in a large New England city at a banquet given in honor of a famous mathmetician-a brilliant young lady. Everything had been progressing beautifully, when sud- denly a rumor that a gold scholarship medal was to be given her at that time, spread through the crowd. For a moment there was an awful silence, then a repeated thunder of ap- plause. I awoke. Some unknown thing whispered this was the future of our classmate, Emma French. Grace Ellleine Geiple T0 tell accurately of a girl's past life would be a difli- cult task, but to foretell all that the future holds for her is a much more difficult one. Yet we can judge, in a meas- ure, from her past life, what she is likely to make of her future. If she has not made the most of her opportunities for developing her mind and character, we cannot say that her future will be a bright, happy, prosperous one. lf, on the other hand, she has been a noble, upright, conscientious girl, does not the future hold all the happiness and success that we would wish for her? Such we think will be the future of Grace Alleine Geiple, '07, a sweet, modest little maid, whose home is at
