MARGARET JANE BENNETT " " Westminster, Md. "And her hair was black as night, And her eyes were starry bright, And her step was light and airy As the tripping of a fairy."-Waller. Entrancing Margaret! What can be said of thee? Verily thy saucy smile and bright eye would charm the king of bachelors himself. All during her college course, Margaret has never been known to be in a really bad humor. This Westminster maid is truly characterized when we say that her bright face and altogether winning ways bring sunshine to whomsoever she comes in contact. She has a light, fairy-like step and carries herself most coquettishly. She has not been afraid, in bygone days, to "hook" an occasional French or Latin lesson; not because she did not know it, but out of pure mischief. As an illustration of this mischievous spirit which has its abode in Margaret, she has actually crawled under the bench in front of her and seated herself thereon, in chapel, and right under the eagle eyes of "Doc." It is a common occurrence for Margaret, to be taken with a sudden and violent fit of coughing in French class, when she is most kindly excused by Madame, and leaves the room not, however, without a roguish backward look. "Happy-go-Iucky,"-may very properly be put before her name. But this fact remains, she is very much alive and natural in all her ways, the queen of beauty of Western Maryland College. EUGENIA GOTT CHISWELL Poolesville, Md. "Sweet, be not proud of those two eyes, which starlike sparkle in their skies." This modest, demure and dignified maiden can, when she is so inclined, condescend to mix with the other girls in their frivolous amusements. She has the most bewitching brown eyes; at times, as sombre as a well, at others, how they dance and sparkle with mischief! Genie stands well with the teachers. She started in with a good reputa tion and has ever since rested on laurels so honorably gained. She is passionately fond of posing for a picture- being known to delay the evil hour until the last minute, thus proving one thing-Chiswell is not vain. She has a dear little provoking way of not saying anything on certain occasions, especially when questioned about the characteristics, but she looks very wise, and maintains a discreet silence. Is an appreciative friend, always pats you both metaphorically and liter- ally on the back, tells you that you did beautifully, in a way very encouraging to any down- cast, suffering mortal. But woe unto those who have the misfortune to rub her criss-cross and arouse her caustic wit. She always has such a neat; stinging little retort ready. She has never been .known to desert a friend, frequently going out of her way to help one. Chiswell rooms down on Owings' Hall, but often comes up on Senior Hall to pay us a fleeting visit. 62
