BENJAMIN EDWARD FLEAGLE Mayberry, Md. Webster Literary Society. Next in order is "Benny", 0 modest, kind-hearted, unspeakable, "Benny"! The only man on college hill who has no enemies! As unselfish as Jonathan, all who know him are his friends. Of no one could be quoted these well known lines with more appropriateness:-- "None knew thee but to love thee; None named thee but to praise." For fi.ve long years "Ben" has braved wind and weather and made his journey of ten miles (often on foot) in order that he might drink from the fount of knowledge. His labor was not in vain, and he now goes forth i.nto We armed with those powers of quiet, unobstrusive perservance which make his historian feel confident that his future can contain few problems which "Benny". cannot solve. Our only wish for his future is that it may prove a fitting sequel to his past. For it was truly said:-- "Kind hearts are more than coronets; And simple faith than Norman blood." CARRIE WILLIAMS GARDINER Annapolis, Md. Philornathean Literary Society. The: history of the next 1904 girl that it falls to the pen of the historian to write, is that of Carrie Williams Gardiner, one of the so called "famous trio of golden haired beauties" of 1904. Carrie come came from that ancient town of Annapolis in 1901, and has entertained us ever since with tales about the ancient town. Carrie is considered to be one of the most dignified members of the class, but after ones knows her real well she is not so dignified as she appears. She has been utterly indifferent to the boys ever since she came here, but rumor states that there is some one she cares for. Perhaps I may be mistaken, but when ever anyone mentions something about a young lawyer, Carrie gets nervous and blushes a Iittle more than is her wont; but after all, my suspicions may be wrongly directed. Carrie is a great sleeper; she generally sleeps two or three study hours each week, always saying before going to sleep, "Heny, be sure and call me in five minutes." But alas! the fateful sleep has seized her and she sleeps for hours, as Rip Van Winkle did before her, and counts these hours as minutes. Nevertheless, Carrie has made an enviable record at school and is quite an elocutionist also. She belonged to the fa- mous section in elocution which became the especial favorite of Miss Cochran on account of the brilliant powers each member possessed(?) Carrie is also quite a vocalist and in her Senior year had a strike on the vocal teacher, whom she pronounced, "almost an angel." 38
