her at Western Maryland in September, 1899. They-the honorable faculty of W. M. C.-" sized her up" and unanimously decided that she was able to enter the Freshman Class-a step that neither the faculty nor the Class of 1903 has eve]' regretted. Since that time, Hattie has been thought by those that know her best to know more and use more big words, which, by the wa}', are of her own coinage, than anyone in the history of the college. Ancl,may I add, you have to have a good imagination to know what she is talking about? She is a very intelligent girl. ancl hence is known to write the best essays-which is not saying much-that the present Senior Class has ever submitted. She is addicted to the habit of writing poetry, and is wonderfully inspired at timcs-cliaolc to write poetry to the opposite sex at the most inop- portune moments, and it matters not to whom. Music is her strong game. Parlcrewsk i would be rivalled were she known as well as he. We, however, appreciate her more than we would a Padorcwski, for even he "would not be so accommodating. She has known almost every pieceof popular music that has been out for the last ten ycars, and even what she doesn't know, she always makes a successful (?) attempt at. She is thought, by those who do not know her, to be unusually dignified. I say" unusually" because she belongs to the Class of 1903. For instance, a member of the Senior Class had the mistaken idea that he was well acquainted with thc lady, and spt'ung upon her the name" Hat." She immediately sat on him so hard that I think he has been calling her '{Miss Ennis" ever since. She is perfect in the art of bluffing the teachers, and has succeeded in every case wonderfully well, Doc's included, except that of "What not;" and when she comes her big words on him, he says, "Now, Miss Ennis, you know this isn't a class in metaphysics," evidently not knowing what she is talking about. Now the last thing that I wouldmention is her hard-heartedness. She may have been crossed in love -wc will not question that-but 110\V she prides herself on the fact that she does not love one human being-CHow unfortunate we are !}-shc soars" above the vulgar flight of common souls." l\1ABEL GO~HELLE GAlwrsoN, .
