not his fault, as in this he was not a free agent, spellbound as he was by her charms. But the Faculty, disregarding this fact, gave him demerits nevertheless. Cambridge, so dear lo the hearts of some members of the Banjo Club, is the birthplace of Lyda Brooks Hopkins. She became a student of the Cam- bridge High School, at which institution she graduated before entering the Sophomore Class of '96 at Western Maryland College. She is so very reticent that little can be found out of her life before or after entering college. It is known, however, that she has a very particular friend with whom she corre- sponds, but his name cannot be ascertained. For want of a better, the girls of the class call him ,. Shake." It is said that previous to Christmas, 1895, she and a certain member of the Class of '97 were slowly developing a "strike," but while the Glee, Banjo, and Guitar Clubs were at Cambridge on their memorable trip, these two attempted to row 011 the river while it was full of ice, thus completely extinguishing, or rather freezing out, all of those sparks so much talked of by poets.

But we have overlooked the fact that another tendency is at work in the opposite direction, if there is any truth in the old saying, "Laugh and grow fat;" for when not thinking of her size, with the exception of her room- mate (next to be mentioned), she undoubtedly laughs more than any other girl in the Class of 'g6. Her college career on the whole has been like the average. As a student she has always paid close attention to her studies, and outside the classroom has gained many friends by her generous and sympathizing disposition.
