MARY EMILY CLARK Cecilton, Md. Browning Literary Society. From the little town of Cecilton, Mary Clark came to Western Maryland College, and cast her lot with the class In its Sophomore year. The little dark-haired girl soon became recognized by the "mem- bers on the other side," and as a result of this, one of them became desperately in love with her. Such an amount of candies, flowers and fruit, that found their way to this young lady's room, no pen nor tongue can describe I Mary is thought to be a little fickle, so that, when in her Junior year a certain Freshman named Willie became a little "weary" looking, she took pity on him and deigned to give him a smile three times a day until he became pacified. After she had done this good deed she decided to transfer her affections to a Senior, where they remain still. She delights in having disputes with the teachers, and especially with the teacher of gymnastics. Sometim.es when we would go down to have "gym," she would commence a quarrel with the teacher, which to our delight would take up all the time allowed to us for our exercise. But I must not forget to mention the grand spreads that Mary has given to her classmates. When those boxes came from Cecilton, we would for the time forget that we had to come back to earth, and eat strap and hash in the college dining room. One thing more I have to men- tion about this !904 girl before I close and that is her musical abllity. She scarcely ever practiced, for Sampaix told her he didn't see any need of her practicing when she could get along as well without practic- ing and also told her that in future years she would be a second Beethoven? MARY ESTHER COUGHLIN Salisbury, Md. Philomathean Literary Society. Mary Esther Coughlin, known as "Hennle" entered the !904 class in its Sophomore year. "Hennte" then was such a quiet, shy, modest, retiring, unassuming little child. Ye Gods I How she has changed. No one would recognize her in the transformation, which has turned her out as a full fledged, up-to-date young lady with positive opinions of her own. She has an overpowering pride for her native town, and has on more than one occasion engaged in a heated discussion over it merits, with a classmate, who seems to fail to realize them. Her forte is imitation. She'll mimic anyone if you'll give her a "swap." Her rendition of "Jimmy Boy" and "Miss Whoppitt" are especially famous. Still one evening her "Hurrah for the Doctorl" brought applause to the echo. The last year May has been very happy at College, because she has had her sister with her. I beg her pardon---her sister-in-law. She is an ex-member of the "Senior Spotted Club." "Hennle" has an inexhaustible fund of mother wit, which she sometimes exercises at the table to the undoing of her friends. She introduces phrases which soon become so popular that they are used by the senior class, and then the whole school, much to "Hennie's" disgust. She was once socially ostracised. How about it "Hennie"? Some of the expressions which she originated are "Cash Boy," "Wildness," "Of course I know I haven't as much money as you have," "Cat-Tail and etc." May the gods deal with her according to her just deserts. P. S.-"Hennie" is very fond of the "Preps," one being her especial care and anxiety. 36
