FRANCES BROWNE HOf the people and not the plcbeian throngn?distinctiy superior, Frances gazes upon us lesser mortals not possessed with the mature minde Her humor is dry, and not all under- stand the delightfully sharp and pointed irony of her opinion of things in generali Hers is a rascrve usually defined as shyness. An exceilent appreciation of both the sublime and the ridiculous, the ability to describe at length the beauty and humor in Iife, and a slow smile lighting her eyes in tolerance of weak puns and trite jokes, make her a delightful friend and companion. Behind serene blue eyes, the imp 0f satire is mocking, yet never does he show himself in speech, for the heart is too kind to risk the chance of wounding. Clever, deep. a dreamer and a thinker, Frances rmes her way shunning the petty things in life, content to fix her hopes on the great and good. Living in a realm of books and thoughts, she pauses ever and anon to mix with the lesser mortals, sharing their thoughts, joys and sorrows. but witha drawing into herself when weary of their hanalities. Hers is the soul of an artist. Page Iu'nct'ccit

T Fr, ALICE DUFFNER The demure and Winsome Alice might well he a daughter of the aristocracy 0f the Old South, so charming is her demeanor. She has spent her life in a northern clime without acquiring its coldness of manner. Characteristic of her wistful temperament is her quiet tone of voice. Shakespeare might have thought of Alice when he said. '23. soft and gentle voice is ever an excellent thing in woman. Though in the classroom her voice is. a source of vexation. she has never considered acquiring a more :Ludililc toner ludeed, it woulcl lze utterly unlike Alice, for beneath her gentle and appealing exterior. she conceals a determined will to dc what she deems to be correct. Alice is small in stature, and it is possible this is her one regret, for she has been mistaken for a freshman more than once. She is sincere by nature; teasing irritates her. To our dainty Alice we wish success, and we hope the world will prove a kindly friend. Page Iu'cnty
