Jennie Gkoendyke Foster, a fair daughter of the metropolis, with its charms and preju- dices, the envied possessor of tall, stunning, violet-sending brothers, a lover of mankind in general and of college-kind in particular, and so a friend to all. Her most sacred and successfully fulfilled duty — kindness to new- comers, be they student or faculty. Mae Rawson Fuller hails from Chicago, and has the distinction of being the Class Baby. vShe also boasts of the only cheval- glass in college. She started out to take an B.L. but womanlike, changed her mind, and is now on the way to win an A.B., through arduous labor in classic lore. Laura Galacar has in her the traits of a good business man. She was part of the management that made the Christmas Sale of Senior year financially so successful, and to her suggestions and efforts we owe the fact that Ninety-vSeven has a class-book. She is musical in her tastes, but refuses to tell the name of her favorite composer. 23

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

Alice Gates played basket-ball on the regular team her Freshman and Sophomore years. She was very popular with under- class girls Junior and Senior years, and has the faculty of saying nice things to one so sweetly that one is almost persuaded they are true. She dances well indeed and for that reason or some other equally good, found in Amherst a congenial atmosphere. She was our Portia — nough said ! Agnes Marion Gemmel commenced life in Canada, but she soon crossed over into this country. She prepared for college at St. Margaret ' s School in Buffalo, N. Y. There she captured a prize for never missing a rec- itation. Mary- Ann ' s favorite hymn is Yankee Doodle and in spite of the advice of her friends to adopt music as her profession, she hopes to use her education to instruct mankind. Lucia Fessenden Gilbert ' s press of lit- erary labors and her original mind have together perfected the art of arriving at all engagements just as the last gun fires. Her low voice and serene ways are united with a zeal which would send her flying one minute to the rescue of the Armenians, the next to that of the Blacks in South Africa. 24
