NELSIE ELIZABETH HORSEY Crisfield, Md. Philomathean Literary Society. Down in Somerset County, in Crisfield, eighteen years ago, was born Nelste Elizabeth Horsey. When she joined the Class of 1904, we all felt that Crisfield's loss was our gain; for Nelsie proved to be one of the sweetest girls in the class; our opinion has remained the same during the four years. She is noted for having the longest hair of any girl in the college. Although very popular in "parlor," Nelsie has never had a "strike." The reason was not known until her Senior year, but at last it was rumored that a young man at home had her heart. She is a musician of first rank, and always knows her lesson so well that Sampaix can never find a fault in her playing, hard as he may try, especially when in a bad humor. At the table, when some one tells a joke she is all attention, but does not join in the laugh. After everyone has finished laughing, she gives a little giggle and says: "Girls, that's a pretty good joke- after you understand it." Nelsie is the best natured girl in the class; she is popular, not only with her classmates, but throughout the college. To know her is to love her. LEVIN IRVING INSLEY Bivalve, Md. Webster Literary Society. "All aboard" yelled the captain of a certain Eastern Shore river steamer on a day in ear lySeptember, 1900. As the warning signal sounded its last call, a short, thin, seedy-looking individual, carrying a carpet bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other, came hurrying across the plank. The next day, the same individual was seen to alight with all the other "greenies" at Westminster depot, and has been seen ever since in the halls of W. M. C. Levin entered the Sophomore class at first, but soon discovered the superiority of "'04" and joined our ranks as a Freshman. From the first, he gave evidences of great ability in many respects. In oratory, his proficiency was soon evidenced and in both his Sophomore and Junior years he was Webster's orator in the society contest, and in his Senior year was chosen as one of the preliminary orators for the intercollegiate contest. Levin was also a special student in elocution, and his appearances before the public in that capacity were always welcome. In his Junior year he was chosen as the historian of the class, which in itself is a recognition of his ability Levin is a very strong and able debater and one of the best speakers in the class. Stands well in his studies, and on the whole is a pretty good representative of Eastern Shore "sand" and "fever." 4l
