1924 NIKE 29 COLLEY, ELIZABETH 6 Pleasant Street Classical Club Deutscher Verein Secretary Agora Psyche Rockport, Mass. Sitting in a little white chair, before a little white desk, we found her writing a poem about the pitter-patter of the raindrops. We felt awed and shy in the presence of the Muse, but at length we summoned courage to ask what were her chief delights in life. Would she say rose petals, or furry gray kittens, or thin purple clouds? Casually she looked up, and then she beamed. “Oh, I like speed boats best, and next to that racing cars, I guess!’’ Would you have believed it of Beth? Probably she will teach English and History next year. COSTELLO EOUISE 45 Campus Avenue Lewiston, Maine Cercle Francais Wo WY (Ca AL, Caloningic BB Silver Bay Delegate 3 Baseball 2, 3 Assistant Editor Record 4 We found our literary Louise reclining on her couch, after the manner of the old Romans. Of course, we expected to find her engrossed in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, or Dante’s Inferno, or something. Instead, we were shocked to discover the disgusting label “Seven Day Book!’’ Louise casually stuck her elbow over the title. Anyway, we knew it must be awfully interesting, for she pro- ceeded to interview us as rapidly as possible. It seemed to be a case of room versus com- pany. Louise is planning to teach English in a high school. She declares that she will go anywhere. Business, it seems, has been rather dull. “I’ve applied to about a million places,’ Louise told us with a sigh. (We venture to say, Louise, that if you will try a personal interview you won’t have any trouble at all!)

BRISTOL, ELIZABETH Summer Street Cohasset, Mass. Classical Club Musical Club Art Club (Choinslee2 oe Somehow, when we think of choir we always think of Betty, the very last one up in the corner of the right-hand bench. Church will not seem natural without her there. She plans to keep on with music, but only as an avocation. Business looks much more in- teresting to her for every day. She is to be at Filene’s for a month this summer, and next fall she will go to the Prince School in Boston, to study personnel work. In be- tween times, Betty likes to climb mountains, great, great, big, high ones like Pike’s Peak and Mt. Everest and all the mountains around Norton. away her real motive in camp work, when she said: ‘‘I love to go berrying.”’ “T never did bring any high ambitions to college,’’ Winnie reflected, “I work hard when I do work,’’ she added. Looking at her list of accomplishments, we concluded that our A. A. president refuted the former statement, and proved the latter. She certainly has given us some mighty high ideals, for which we shall always be grateful. CHALMERS, WINIFRED 57 W. Trenelett Street President of A. A. 4 Vice-President of A.

While her fate is not sealed, like her room- mate Ruth’s is, Winnie expects to teach his- tory and English; preferably somewhere in the New England States. With Ruth, she is going to work in Filene’s this summer. Being quite new at the craft of salesmanship, Winnie declares that she will “sell anything.”’ Winnie is broad-minded enough not to want to teach more than one year, since she is not particularly interested. She wants above all to study architecture. Being a typically all-round girl, she is fond of camp and settlement work. She has been a swim- ming instructor .at Rainbow Camp in the Adirondacks. And she has done settlement work with working girls at Rosemary Cottage, Elliot, Maine. We wondered if she gave

NIKE 1924 COWLES, HOPE M: 42 Southbourne Road Jamaica Plain Science Club 2, 3, 4 Hope’s interest in science has kept her in Lab ever since she has been at Wheaton, and hence we know her but slightly. Her dislike for the gym and the tank has cropped out beyond her reserve, and our sympathy is entirely hers. Every week-end Hope’s car makes a mysterious appearance and dis- appearance. Upon her return ’we learn that she has been to the Cape. Sewing is a favorite pastime with Hope when she is not caring for white rats, or cleaning her room. We are confident that her motto has to do with cleanliness and Godliness. Next year is not yet definitely outlined in Hope’s mind, but whatever it may be, we are sure that it will be scientific.

Deutscher Verein Psyche Fran’s interests at Wheaton have been centered around the tank and the practice rooms in the gym. Next year, she will super- vise music in some school, wherever her room- mate can get a job. Her favorite pastime is chewing gum, in the meantime, compiling 64 songs for Senior serenades. This year, Fran has gained and lost 40 pounds. She has not yet submitted her recipe to the press, but we think that it will be in the interest of 2-6-0. When it comes to musical needs next year, we will miss Fran greatly; we wonder if she will ever miss us.
