Harriet Hallock, a chubby little mischief, with curly brown hair, always considered to be the younger of the two Hallocks. Pas- sionately devoted to two members of the faculty, she was always hovering about them camera in hand. Vastly entertaining, spin- ning yarns by the hour, her friends all wonder what they will do next year without her when they have the blues. Josephine Hallock, distinguished by her short but very severe gusts of devotion to various goddesses, much to the advantage of the florists and livery-stable keepers in town. Painfully conscientious in her work, taking life with a childlike seriousness, generous to a fault, kindhearted to everyone, she finds a very warm place in the hearts of all her friends. Elsa Sachs Hammerslough, a native of New York, entered Smith at an extremely youthful age. Originally a member of Ninety- Eight she was enabled through the assistance of numerous foreign governesses to pass up enough language work to enter Ninety-Seven. She is chiefly remarkable for her terror of alcohol lamps and mice. 27

Alice Phelps Goodwin has a right to her haughty manner, for in her native town, Lexington, Massachusetts, she is recognized as one of the society queens, and subjects bow the knee before her. She unbends rarely, except to her intimates, to whom she is known as Old Horse, a name fitting her nature, or as Kitty, on account of her extraordinary gift of purring like a cat. Grace Greenwood hails from Lynn, Massa- chusetts, which probably accounts for the trim appearance of her footgear. She is distinguished on account of her elocutionary ability and her sealskin coat. The only thing about her which has been in the back- ground is her bicycle. Franc Hale Here ' s to the maid with all graces in one, With face that is rare and aesthetic ; Yet she ' s in for a scrape, She ' s ready for fun, Pugnacious, and most energetic. 26

Gertrude Hammersi.ough is a very little girl for a person with such a long name and such a big city as New York for her home. She is a terrible prod, in German, has dined with a faculty, -and — most wonderful of all — has charmed a certain dragon who calls her by her first name. Gertrude Bertha Harris is a sprightly brunette, whose excellent intellectual equip- ment brought her the honor of reading the first paper before the History Club. She comes from Hornellsville, a town no doubt as beautiful in nature as in name, and of the size which Mr. Howells told us furnishes the best readers. Mabel Austin Harris has two absorbing passions here at college — music and Perley Merrill. Her appreciation of them both is exquisite, and her activity in their service untiring. The same delicate hand stirs her room-mate ' s scrambled egg, and plays accom- paniments more liquid than summer brooks. •28
