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.

28 NIKE BROWNSON, HAZEL RUTON iY. We CeAs Cabinet 2a3. 4 Assistant House Chairman 3 Silver Bay Delegate 2 Glee Club Choir Mandolin Club Cercle Francais Deutscher Verein Psyche We finally managed to find Hazel at home in between Symphony concerts and Student Volunteer meetings. She must have been expecting us, because we were scarcely in the room when she began, “I’m five feet one, and weigh 111. Now, what next?” “Your plans, ambitions and please,’ we directed. “T have no definite plans for next year,” she replied. “‘I shall probably do either Y.W. work or teach. I should love to do Y.W. work abroad, but I don’t know about that. If I do teach next year (and I really don’t want to) I hope it will be in a city where I can get at a pipe-organ. I love any kind of music, but I like the pipe-organ best—either to hear or to play. Did you ever hear “My Old Kentucky Home’ on the pipe-organ? “But there’s just one thing here at Wheaton I like better than the organ. That’s Metcalf. Tm just crazy about the whole building— it’s so nice and homey, and you get to know everybody so well. I lived on Senior corridor last year, and, do you know, I don’t like Lar- com nearly so well. “T love our ‘campus pets’ too—particularly Rover and the kittens. Rover, though, seems so much more permanent than the kittens. In the fall of my sophomore year I did my best to hide all the kittens from Miss Martin,” she sighed, “but somehow or other it didn’t do much good.” hobbies, IR Pas CHASE, ELIZABETH GARDNER President Student Government 4 Y.

I may have to take a year’s training at the Boston School of Social Work first, but I hope not. I’m really very anxious to get out and be doing some- thing right away. I’m crazy to go into gym work, but I don’t like the idea of two years more of training. I hope that I shall be able to use what I do know of gym work, though, sometime or other. “No,” continued Betty, in answer to our next question, “I don’t want to stay in New England. It’s too conservative. In the West they're glad to have progress and changes; theyre willing to give new things a chance. Look at the remarkable way in which they have accepted social service work, for instance. They have left New England far behind. Here in New England we ask of a man, ‘Who are his family? What’s his business? How much money has he?” In the West they ask, “What kind of stuff is he made of?’ ““What subjects am I most interested in? Spiritualism. Of course I don’t doubt but that there’s a lot of fraud connected with it just at present, but I do believe that there’s something in it. At one time, I think there was complete harmony between the physical and the spiritual. We've lost it. I hope that, through spiritualism, we'll be able to get it back.”
