MARY EMILY CLARK Cecilton, Md. "'Tis the mind that makes the body rich." This little lady lays claim to an enormous amount of will power, before which all things are carried. Numerous "strikes" have kept her continually on the grin-and she didn't always have one at a time, no indeed, as many as four at a time have laid siege to her heart. She has never been late to a meal, being always the first to enter the portals of the room where delicious viands are served. She worships at the shrine of Order. Even the deter- mined pat-pat of her feet tells of an undying purpose. During her Senior year, she went by the name of "Marie," was it because of her proficiency in French? We wonder. Should you question her, however, her blushes would promptly testify to something very far removed from French. About her mental abilities she is not a bit conceited-for, during all her school years, she says that she has only received six medals. She is a great stickler for all the small rights and privileges due to every free-born American. Because of these ideas, she has fre- quently become involved with the preceptress, Strange it is if much time goes by without her having a little "scrap" with "Ma." A hot southerner, she makes the halls ring with the melting strains of "Dixie," sung in a high soprano. "Marie" has a very peculiar little laugh, which, however, is far from unpleasant. One hearing it for the first time would imagine that a thousand little bells were tinkling in the air. These are not her only charms, for she was told, early in her Senior year, that she possesses the "power of true eloquence." MARY ESTHER COUGHLIN Salisbury, Md. "She's little but she's loud." "Hennle" is the funniest girl in the class, if not in the whole college. When she opens her lips, such jewels of real Irish wit roll forth that by many she is counted a genius. Her powers of mimicry are so great that, indeed, if you did not know to the contrary, you would suppose yourself in the presence of the imitated one. At the regular Saturday night spreads, she has been the centre of interest. For when the spread proper is over, she is surrounded by anxious and loving classmates, who pull unceasingly upon her and beseech her to get up and say, "Hurrah for the Doctor," "Jimmy Boy" etcetera. But no, no, no! she will not budge- tired is she of doing all the entertaining, but-Elsie has a grand "swop" for her, Marianna has one from somebody whom she likes-"Hennie" readily and willingly does as she is desired. The room resounds with groans and moans, due to' an over quantity of laughter, and when all is over, ah, indeed it were a great pity to so deceive her. Now "Hennie" has one very feminine quality, she is afraid of all suspicious looking crawling things of the earth, such as spiders, ants and caterpillars. And mice! Why if "Hennie" even hears that word she apt to emit a mouse-like squeal and gather up her skirts. But the greatest quality and the one she indulges to the farthest extent, is her spooning quality. Don't be frightened, it is only her "sister" whom she blesses with her endearments. 63
