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.

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.

i6 The Llamarada Franklin, Mass., claims in conjunction with six other towns to have been the birth place of Elizabeth Meredith Dunning. The family of Winifred Luella Fairbanks pre- pared their child for College at 166 Chestnut street, Gardner, Mass. Alice Carey Field, sometimes known by the tender name of “ Bug,” firmly decided at her home 39 Richards street, Worcester, Mass., to favor Hol- yoke as the successful candidate among the compet- ing Colleges. Holyoke will never regret the effort she made. There is a report that Frances Richmond Foster, 'I' Q, seriously injured her vocal organs by attempting to speak the day she was born, at Hingham, Mass. Her disappointment at that time was so great that it prejudiced her against ever repeating the experiment. The only exception on record is believed to be the occasion of seconding a motion in the Debating Society, during March of this year. Marion Foster is as different from Frances as 316 Central street, Auburndale, Mass., is from Hing- ham. Gertrude Elizabeth Gaylord has never seen fit to leave her native hearth in South Hadley, Mass. Nineteen, Elm street, Rockville, Conn., was a scene of profound significance when the Gilnacks named their infant daughter Lilia Eliza. Myrabel Josephine Gould tried Wellesley Col- lege as an experiment her Freshman year, but the experience turned her gleeful steps towards Holyoke.
