Eleanor Barnett Fulton Chapter I. As it was in the beginning: Seventeen revolutions of the planet earth around its orbit into the dim past, a small babe astounded her nurse bv pushing aside her pablum and downing a bottle of Lydia Pinkam’s Pink Pills for People Plagued by Lassitude That performance produced a chain reaction which has not yet terminated. Chapter II. As it is now: Veni, vidi, vinci, and so she did : everything, one, and body. With Lydia’s pellets safely interred. Miss F’s administration at M.V.S. has seen the passage of four years of revising, reforming, and able leadership. Friend, do not de- spair of being required to wander interminably through the maze of her accomplish- ments. The list below speaks for itself. Suffice it to say that politically, academically, socially, and athletically the laurel leaves rest securely on her brow. What is the melee in yon distance? Not a dog fight, not a revolution, not a bargain basement merely the General doing seven things at once. But is she limited to only seven? Perhaps . . . Hot water? Hard homework? Knitting snarl?

Elizabeth Dunlop Walker “Hey, Laws! Did you get a letter?’ This is the familiar query from one Betsy to another about mutual friends at points North. As far as her outside “activities’ ’ go, she gave up all but one three years past, and true to the “Betsy Policy”, she adheres to this one aim. Although her ex- ternal interests are centralized, she has main- tained a variety of interests at M.V.S. Serving the maximum term, four years, she is famous for numerous things. Probably the most prominent (from a boarder ' s point of view) is her generosity in giving the inmates a tling in that Lincoln. Potentially quiet in a noisy sort of way, she lives up to everything from the “Confucious Club” rules to the how’s and why’s of class meetings, not to mention basketball, otherwise known as Charleston.
