Oh, yes, I’ve got lots of them. Id like to write advertising copy. I'd like to be a buyer in a store. I'd like to be a reporter. I like to cook (but I hate all other kinds of housework, so that puts me out of the matrimonial market). Then, too, I'd like to travel; steerage and a bicycle would be perfectly satisfactory. Last, but certainly not least, I like to have a good time. “Yes, I have a philosophy of life,” she con- tinued. “I believe in going your own way and letting the rest of the world go theirs. Just a minute, and I'll tell you whose disciple I am,’ she remarked, reaching for her philoso- phy book. “‘Yes! Spinoza. I was afraid it was Spinoza. I don’t believe in getting ‘het up’ over trifles. “Why don’t I write? Oh, I’m too imma- ture. Ill have to get out and get busy first, get into contact with people. Even then I don’t know, I lack persistence.” “Next year I hope to be at Mrs. Prince’s school in Boston as a candidate for a Master’s degree in Education from Harvard. More studying, you see! Not that I like to study; I don’t. But I do think this: we should give a lot more attention to scholarship here at Wheaton than we do.” BROUGHTON, ELSIF Social Chairman 4 House Chairman 4 Vice-President I. C.S.

Cabinet Silver Bay Delegate 2 Class Chairman 1 Class President 1 Glee Club Classical Club Science Club “T want to be a bacteriologist,”’ said Elsie. “T should like to go to Cornell next year, but I may decide to teach for a while first, Zoo, if possible. After I get the bacteriology off my mind, I’m going to have four children.” She spoke with decision. In fact, her plans seemed so well laid that we ventured to ques- tion her further. “Boys or girls?” we asked. “Whatever the Lord sends answered wisely. “Yes, there are a good many things I’d like to see added to Wheaton,” Elsie con- tinued, ‘“‘such as an alumnae house and table- cloths, but most of all Id like to see one thing stop—gossip. Elsie me,” “What do I do in my spare time? No, not bridge. I loathe it. I read a lot. Oh, al- most anything at all.” “T love dogs,’ she continued. “Some day I'm going to have twelve ranging in size and color from Miss Wallis’ ‘Jerusha’ to ‘Ter- ence’, and I don’t care about the breeds. “T’m very much interested in art, too,” she went on. “I’m not ‘artistically born’ or any- thing like that, but I like the satisfaction of being able to recognize things.
