ELLA MERLIN LOVE Lonaconing, Md Browning Literary Society. "Down in the coal mines" was the place from which one of the "'04 beauties" hailed. Ella Love came to us as one of the youngest girls in the class (I believe she is the second youngest), and is among its best in every way. When she first came to school, some one said of her "She's too bright for this school. I wonder why she came here." But "Love will go where it's sent," won't it Lovey? Even back to Lonaconing. Ha! Ella has been a great help in Society, in J. G. c., and in the many class "Sociables." She almost rivals "Hennie" with her Scotch songs and cute little recitations. But poor Lovey in the dining-room has a terrible time over the meals. She is rather hard to suit, but is very patient and never complains.(?) We can almost recommend her as an expert cook for any "real nice" man who is hunting for a "sweet wag." She has had a great many experiences along this line, and is especially apt in making "De vil's" food. Speaking of a "real nice" man, Lovey thinks it is foolish. She claims never to look at a boy, but how about your quarrels with Sal over friends-and-. Too bad indeed! Whenever the girls gather together and have a general, social chat, Lovey will not indulge, but rather talks for a half hour on each one at home. Never mind, Lovey, you deserve credit, and to say the least, we certainly will miss you when you're gone. SMITH HILTON ORRICK Glyndon, Md. Irving Literary Society. "The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth." In this respect Orrick is very much like the wind. Rumor says that "somewhere way back before 1904 was a college class Mr. S. H.Orrick dropped from a place called Glyndon into the Preparatory School below." Recent investigation has deduced the probability that the year of his arrival was somewhere between the years l890 and 1900. Another section in mythology adds that since his arrival "Boose" has made weekly visits to that mysterious place from which he is supposed to have come. This story we may state is borne out by the fact that every Friday evening "Boose" is . missing and that he reappears on Monday morning, telling wonderful tales of strange adventure. The other facts extant are these. When the class roll was called at the beginning of the freshman year Mr. S. H. Orrick answered to his name. Since that time he has never been missed. (Except on the occasions above mentioned). For two years his unceasing call was "Turp," But in our Junior year we heard him heave one mighty sigh. Turpin failed to return and for a time we feared for "Boose's" mind. Con- solation came at last however and then, Or early morn or night or noon, By light of sun, when soars the moon, When lips intend it, if they slip, His constant monotone is "Whipp." 42
