She came to ns ay back in ancient days, and has been a lilessing to ns. for her smooth serene countenance has licen as a balm for our troubled souls. She is reported to have the greatest num- ber of eases of any girl in school, ami is constantly seen wearing bouquets from some, while other bashfid admirers idly wait around the rotunda to see her go by. Xamy can rise at the last tap of tlie breakfast bell, get to breakfast, and still keep the re|putation of bein,g the neatest girl in school. Her chief delight is the Training School and those ■■darlint; eliihlren. 29

Her chief ni(U|iiition is writing letters — but to whom we would like to know? One of her favorite studies is English History with special at- tention paid to the expeditions and wonder- ful achievements of Bruce. As a result of .Marie ' s work, consisting of her many studies, letter writing, and not infrequent attendance upon Y. W. C. A., she is Bent — with care, but she bears it well and always wears a briplit smile. By her stern iiian- iiei and pleasant way she won tlie liearts of her pupils and aspired to the heights of being considered by her supervisor a.s the best disciplinarian in the Training School. 28

Mi.ss Alice lias won a great repute as a music teacher, and all of us know that she is attracted by Toons of any kind at any time. , It is quite convenient that Alice ro(nus on one end of the building and the Training School is on the other, for Miss Woodiii-tf ' s office is used as a rest room between classes, and Alice finds much pleasure there, even if she is sometimes impudent. Alice stands up for her rights — though it has been said by some she is hard to understand — and with one sight of her. vdu will know that you cannot knnck her down or get aroinid her. Her chief (icc ipatiiin is boating on the Appo- mattox, lier chief characteristic is laugh- ing, and she always greets you with a hriehl smile. ALICE (iUL ' BBS DKNOHON.

A glance at her would c invini-e you that she is a pliable, amiable, little creature, but, She is not what she seems. L ' nder that calm exterior lies a Hery. combative nature, which especially shows itself when woman ' s suflfrage is being argued, for she is an enthusiastic sirffra- gette and a firm believer in the equality of the sexes. That far-away look, as if jjeering into the future, is the result of long ]danning for the many reforms she is going to work in her school. She is very scepti- cal ini the subject of love, and a firm ad- iicate of marriage on a business basis, hut she takes the greatest pains to see the beatrx as they pass through the reception hall on Simday nights. 30
