Alice Katharine Fallows, whoreads des- tinies from hands and cards and hypnotic spells, has by her prophecies influenced even President Seelye to offer a new theme course. We rejoice that she leaves Smith to enter into journalism that the wide world too may share the truth that she divines. Mabel Idell Farrington is a product of the far West and the Burnham School. She has reversed the usual order of things by teething before entering college instead of at the close of her course, which has been the scientific. If she continues to use this method we wonder when she will enter the kinder- garten. Kittie Fisher, catalogued as Alice Evelyn, comes from Shelburne Falls, Mass. A seri- ous air of learning at first sight hides the gift of humor with which she is wont to entertain her intimate friends, — for She can dance and she can sing She can act anything — and you should hear her recite h.eJabberwock 21

Florence Dustin, known to her intimates of the Washburn House as Candle, hails from Gloucester, Mass. In spite of her small size, she has gallantly kept pace with Ninety-Seven , besides specializing a little in Amherst. Gertrude Dvar shows that she comes from Cambridge and literary ancestors by the scribbler ' s cross on her hand and her verses in the Monthly, not to mention her patent lightning process in writing lit. papers. She once was a good Episcopalian, but this year has gone to live on the Rialto with Edith Blake and Mansfield, Emilie Emerson left us Sophomore year, and continued her course at the Northwestern University at Evanston, 111. But a year there only increased her preference for Smith, and she returned to us Junior year. She came back late Senior year, but her init- ials may explain the ease with which she has done the required work in the face of these obstacles. 20

Albertine Whitney Flershem entered as a scientific student; she is rather the stu- dent of things-in-general. The social life at Smith, the history department and our brother colleges have all received a share of her attention. Furthermore, the vaudeville stage finds one of its brightest stars in her. Ethelwyn Foote comes from the shores of the Pacific, or near them, and has occasionally regaled her friends with Chinese candy sent her from California. Late in her college course she became a Zoological fiend. She spent her vacations visiting other college laboratories, and derived much pleasure from assisting Dr. Wilder to chloroform turtles preparatory to dissecting them. She says it is fascinating work — de gustibus! Lilian Albertina Gordon Forbes, whose name is the marvel of the class, is the daughter of a physician in Chicopee Falls, Mass. She was valedictorian of her class in the Chicopee High School, and in spite of time lost on daily journeys between her home and Northampton, has continued the good work in college. •i-i
