EDITH CECILIA KEEFER She comes from the far off Empire State So if I may I will relate A few of the doings of this maid, Who lives in the village’s classic shade. In her Sophomore year she aspired for fame By exploits won in Physics name ; But alas ! chemistry especially organic Nearly set her off in a panic. She digs and grinds for endless hours Hoping to grace Fame’s eternal bowers, So let her alone and go your way For sometime she will have something to say.

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.
