14 The Llamarada ever ‘ Can does, she does very thoroughly ; — be it to jolly the Faculty, sustain the conversation at table, write treatises for the perusal of government officials or ‘talk about me.’ Although of exceeding tender years, Canada is a marvel in her line. Florence Edna Chamberlain is another marvel, — although in quite another line, 72 State street, Springfield, Mass., bears a plate with a single inscription “ Here was born Florence Edna Cham- berlain, a member of the Mount Holyoke Debating Society.” Florence talks of going abroad for the next two years for the purpose of polishing one of her sentences in the mines of Siberia. Jean Dean Cole who emerged from 8 Ten Broeck street, Albany, N. Y., to become vice-presi- dent of the To fxlv chapter, of the Debating Society, was once told gently that her brain worked slowly. If Jean didn’t enjoy it so much as a joke, the College would be less ready to recognize the grain of truth it contains. The parents of Agnes Louise Collins, 2 ® X, secured for their child an instructor on the banjo, who through daily training at 17 Hillside avenue, Amesbury, Mass., fitted Agnes for leader of the Banjo Club 98-’99. Minnie Wurth Crane, who was borne in the interests of education, from the wild western life of 801 Park street, Omaha,Neb., was an ingenious suc- cess as vice-president of her class, ’98-’99, and a dis- ciple of the Reconstructive policy as President of the To jlcv chapter of the Debating Society.

13 Volume VI talk more and faster than any one in College ; she does not always require a theme, either, but can always find one. One of her favorites is ‘70 Ilowe street, New Haven, Conn.’; another is Minnie; they are close rivals. Alice Emeline Belcher does what might be called a heavy think i?ig part in the drama of life. There are just four places where she uses her voice. (1) 18 Townsend street, Pepperell, Mass.; (2) In the Debating Society, (rarely) ; (3) at Choral Club, and (4) in Class (frequently). Essie Winning Boyd, is another,— but she is under treatment for it at Martin’s Ferry, Ohio. Mary Alice Bradford, along with other College honors, was for a long time secretary and treasurer of the Baked Bean Club. It has not made her proud, however, and when she returns to 415 Silver street, Dorchester, Mass., her friends will probably find her unchanged. Susan Mary Bradley, k ft, was one of the Edi- tors of 1900’s Llamarada,— but that has undoubtedly been sufficiently published. Susan lives at Berry street, Roslindale, Mass. Alice Seymour Browne, 'k ft, of 159 Woodland Road, Auburndale, Mass., will be found below, probably in the missionary list. Mabel Augusta Canada, although not to be found there, can be tracked to many other places. In vacations, ‘ Can ’ haunts 710 Chapel street, New Haven, Conn. During the College year she may be found almost anywhere, at almost any time. What-

Volume VI 15 One hundred and sixteen Atlantic street, Jersey City, N. J., sent East, Clintie Delafied Curtis, early known as P. G. Curtis. With application Clintie will make a business success as a drummer. She will find her name clearly printed in the list of the Debat- ing Society. It took “ corner Court and State streets, Castine, Maine,” to evolve Miss Pauline Faye Devereux for the Debating Society. Pauline is a descendent from Lord Devereux and is the belted daughter of a hun- dred Earls. Ida Marion Dougherty, H I A, broke through the underbrush of Fairport, N. Y., and hastened to what seemed to her the metropolis of South Hadley. She had heard that at Mount Holyoke real talent and true worth are justly appreciated. Ida has had some disappointment in this line, but is not yet discour- aged, and means to try her genius next year on enlightened New York. Helen Douglas, was carried to her home 410 Wayne street, from the railroad wreck which occur- red several years ago Peoria, 111. Helen never grew, to her natural size in consequence, although by rea- son of a most unique mental development, she was admitted to the Debating Soceity. Isabel Rich Drew, 2 0 X, took the train for Hol- yoke from the Mosaic town of Sharon, Mass. The Presidency of the class of ’99, 97-98, made a recu- perative trip to Hawaii necessary. However, she felt no desire to establish a mission station there, and returned to us to fulfill her duties in the Debating Society.
