The most marked peculiarity of this young man, however, is his open antipathy to the opposite sex. This failing, or characteristic, is carried to an absurdity. Rather than be met by a young lady, he would prefer to go any distance or spend any amount of money. Since this timid creature can not speak for himself, it will be necessary to label him Charles Ely Whitmore. KATE GRACE BARBER. Kate Grace Barber has come daily from Carolina until this year. Now she cheers Watson House with her charming presence. Her most noteworthy act as a Junior has been to have scarlet fever. In basket ball she is a shining light and on the apparatus she performs most miraculous feats. But, alas ! her strength is not equally distributed — it is noticeably absent in her voice. During Sophomore year Kate had the biology mania, and the eagerness with which she seized every unoffending insect which chanced across her path was painful to see. Many of her happiest Junior hours have been passed in the chemical laboratory. She has even been heard to express a desire to spend Sunday in that delightful retreat. It would be hard to prophesy what she will do in after years. She as- pires to be an old maid, so it is probable that she will study and teach until she reaches the age of fifty, and then retire to a southern plantation to end her days in peace and plenty. ARTHUR NOYES PECKHAM. Now we see before us our only representative from Kingston, Arthut Noyes Peckham. Happy, at peace with all mankind, his pleasant counte- nance cheers the hearts of students and professors. He has days when the world goes wrong, and at such times he delights shrewdly to question his teachers to see if he can detect them in error. Failures in any line do not seem to disturb his tranquility, for he is a living example of the motto : “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” He is conspicuous by his absence at chapel and drill. Arthur believes in the theory of absorption, especially in regard to his studies. He carries his books around with him most faithfully, and is never seen separated from his “Chardenal.” Owing to some lack of vigilance on his part his “Physics” escaped his grasp for several weeks, with dire consequences. He is fond of mathematics — oral tests in particular— and always appears promptly to take them. He loves a good argument, and will go round and round a point just as many times as he can induce any one to follow him. Given time enough, he would convince you that black is white. He has many of the characteristics of a lawyer. Up to the present time he has made his greatest success as an auctioneer. EDITH STOUGIITENBURG RODMAN. And now we have before us the youngest member of our class. We recall the many days we have anxiously awaited Edith’s arrival over those

awful Mooresfield roads as she came from home on her wheel. It does one good to hear her sonorous voice ring out so musically and clear in the classroom. She is one of our most promising members, and we all feel assured that “Ikey” will some day be a leading soprano in the Grand Opera. She is ever ready and willing to play her role in the entertaining at Watson House, especially in the musical line. MARY LOUISE QUINN. Mary Louise Quinn, the ever studious, is loved and respected by all. Her fondness for the other sex has made her very conspicuous; every day she may be seen driving out with “Tommy.” Her martial tread through the College Hall bespeaks authority. Her equanimity is unparalleled. These qualities are very desirable, since she aspires to be a trained nurse in the army. MABELLE FRANCIS WHITE. Mabelle Francis White, our friend from Amesbury, is one who has no faults. She is very fond of the piano and favors us with many selec- tions. She makes a most satisfactory pace-setter coming down from the Boarding Hall after supper. Her favorite retreat of a rainy day is the tower of Lippitt Hall, poring over the old magazines and newspapers. She goes about in that dignified way of hers, recommending her pet “rhubub” for all ailments. ERNEST ALLEN TEFFT. They call this man from Hope Valley, The “almighty” of our alley. When he’s feeling just right, It is his delight To indulge in a joke or witty sally ; But when he is set. Not a thing you could bet Would move this man from Hope Valley. Ho! ho! this man from Hope Valley, Who indulges in social life sparely; When for the Grist his picture We wished, He promptly refused us squarely, But he hopes to be seen Running a flying machine, This wonderful man from Hope Valley.
