not always white, but most any color desirable. Whenever anyone teases her in regard to this she always "cwies"-but then it is only for a while, the storm soon passes and all is bright again. This is characteristic of her, that whenever she is troubled about anything her naturally bright disposition soon returns and she is ready to cheer others. Westminster has furnished but two students who graduate with this class, although many others started with it. One of these two is known as the strong woman, the powerful one, who causes to tremble at her approach her smaller classmates. Carrie Etta Brown was. born in Westminster nineteen years ago, and has continued her residence in that city until the present day. She entered the class far back in its infancy, and, as was said above, she is one of two who has successfully passed the examinations of the many town students who starte- I with the class. She has made a good record. While her classmates are afraid of her, yet it is not because she in any wise tries to domineer over them, be it far from her-but only because she is naturally fear-:nspiring-her very look is sufficient. The "beautiful snow" is not afraid of her, even though she does trample upon it. It was observed to throw her six times last winter while she was walking a square. Her indomitable courage finally gave her the victory, as it has done in many other cases. She belongs to a quartet of "can't-turn-tuners." The second town graduating student is Mary Test Buckingham. She, too, was born in Vv'cstminster and has for eighteen years made it her home. Having lived in that city all her life she has very naturally become attached to it, so much so that she dislikes to go away even on a visit. It is very seldom that she is seen on the street. Some times when wearied from studying she takes a walk, but only for a short distance and soon returns home. Dignity is her chief charac- teristic. Laughing is by no means common to her, and she rarely smiles. When she does, it is hardly more than a mere twitching in the corners of her mouth, scarcely discernible. Music is her chief delight, and the piano her favorite instrument. In addi- tion to this she is the possessor of a splendid contralto voice. In reference to this latter, however, she is exceedingly modest and wil! very rarely favor her Itiends with a song. There are few persons, indeed, who are blessed with more friends than she- There are implanted in her those qualities which win friends and hold ,them when won. One :"oung 111an-a "victim" of hers-said. that if sincerity be a virtue she will undoubtedly rea h her celestial home .. She has a preference for music tea~hers.·· . 45
