she gets the inspiration to sing, and then she does it with a vim to the discomfort of her room-mate. Miss Smith lives in Harrington, Del. She is therefore a blue-hen chicken. She is twenty years old-now a chicken twenty years old! \Vell! Such a case is not entirely unknown in College. One of her best qualities is that she always speaks kindly of everyone, and is frank and open in her friendships. The girls love her for this reason, and the boys admire her for it. S)1e graduates with a good record. Hagerstown, Me1., is Sallie Solliday's home. For three years she has been a student at this Institution, and for the same length of time a member of the Ninety-nine Class. She has made an enviable record in College. Her very first term's work showed that she had made up her mind to be a student and to leave no stone unturned by which she could reach greater distinction. What she started out to do she has done and graduates high in the class. She opened a junk shop a year or so ago when studying geometry and began selling corollaries, things belonging to theorems, to use a brute's definition. Her first customer wanted to buy quite a number, but Miss Solliday decided to close up shop about that time and told her customer in a deep masculine voice "We don't sell corollaries any longer." She has served as president of the Y. W. C. 1\., and in '98 assisted in winning the "Newell trophy." Howald she is we don't know, but an honest guess would place it in round numbers to be about twenty-two. She is by no means friendless, for her popularity has beel~ proved on many occasions. *Draw a line from Augusta, Maine, to Sacramento City, Cal., thence to Key West, Fla., and thence to the place of beginning. Somewhere in this triangle about twenty-two years ago was born James Henry Straughn II. For some unaccount- able reason neither historians nor curiosity seekers have been able to locate the spot, though an exhaustive research of American history has been made. The said James Henry is supposed to be descended from two noted kings of England, James J and Henry VIII, for whom he was named. From the former he inherited the Royal Touch and from the latter his polygamous propensities. He has not been married as often as the aforesaid Henry VIII, but that is not his fault; if he had been accepted every time he popped the question he would have been as famous a Mormon as old King Solomon; witness all the girls eligible and otherwise in Centreville, Baltimore, Westminster and adjacent towns. * Written by a classmate. 56
