MAUD MELVIRA STREMMEL. New Windsor, Md. Browning Literary Society. In the middle of our Freshman year came another one of the 1904 gems to us. Maud Melvira Strern- mel came from the famous City of New Windsor. She had completed the high school there and had en- tered the New Windsor College. It was soon discovered that neither of these schools was far enough advanced for such an ambitious, energetic and studious lassie, so Maud came to the best of the Maryland Colleges and entered the '04 class. Being surrounded with such wonderful environments and such splen- did opportunities, Stremmel took advantage of them and soon stood almost first in the rank of scholar- ship. She is especially fond of economics and shows her love of it by introducing it into society debates, senior essays, and even into her daily conversation. She has the gift of writing good essays and "elocutes" verywell,too. Maud "stands in" with all the teachers and is thought a great deal of by her classmates and schoolmates. Such a sympathetic and loving disposition as hers is to be envied by anyone. What they will do in Society without Maud is not known for she is a great worker there, as she is in all other places. GRACE AGNES THOMAS Buckeystown, Md. Philomathean Literary SOciety. Grace Agnes Thomas joined the naughty-fours in her Sophomore year, a tall, slender maiden. She at once: took a leading part in the class, being known as a remarkably bright girl and a wonder in elocu- tion. She always took part in the elocution contests, and twice did she appear at Commencement as one of the Philomathean essayists. She is indeed grace itself on the stage. She hails from Buckeystown, Frederick County of the Western Shore of Maryland. Grace can write deep and interesting essays, indeed one was just a wee little bit too deep-for presenting that essay on the stage, she established a precedent for herself and the whole senior class-namely fainting. She has won the respect of all, for she is an earnest girl, not afraid to express her opinions, however unpopular they may be. She has always taken an interest in the Young Women's Christian Association, having twice been its President. One more honor befell her accidentally at the beginning of her Senior year-she was selected to sing in the chapel choir. Her voice,though not strong,is very sweet, what there is of it. "Grace" is a special favorite withMadame and can say most beamingly in French "C'est tout," which we beg to say to her history. 47
