Ann is one of the most appealingly feminine girls in the college. She is so delicately modeled, and with her creamy coloring everyone's eyes fol- low her with admiring glances. Add to all this a pair of mischievous, twinkling eyes and you have a small idea of this diminutive little girl's great charm. Ann always has a coterie of young blades pursuing her with persistent attentions, all ol which she takes with a laughing nonehalance. Despite all of this Ann is one of our outstanding students, who has brilliantly delved into the mys- tery ol the study of chemistry with amazing suc- cess. Truly, such a girl is outstanding.

She has no sernples about poking fun, and will do it to anyone from the most exalted professor to the lowliest earth worm.
