CARRIE WILLIAMS GARDINER Annapolis, Md. "God bless the man who first invented sleep." A stranger, seeing Carrie Gardiner for the first time, is sure to be struck by the expression of sweetness and purity on her face. And her countenance but ref1ects her inner nature. A suit of rich auburn hair crowns a head which the owner carries high up in the air. "Cad" is tall and slender and walks with a very independent manner. Modest and retiring, she is hard to become acquainted with, but once known, she is loved. Her classmates are all fond of "Cad," and no one knows aught but good of her. She is given to blushing on small pro- vocation. If macaroni is mentioned, a lovely crimson is sure to f100d her face-why? Oh, that is a joke. But you should just see and hear (?) "Cad" when she is laughing. Her mouth spreads, her eyes emit sparks of mirth but where, oh where is the sound of her voice? In vain we might listen, no sound would come to us-then a calm surface again, and-"Cad" has finished laughing. She is boon companion to "Miner" Sloan, where one is, the other is sure to be-almost as bad as the "sisters,"-the only difference being the absence of senti- mentalism. One characteristic of her is her neatness, never is a ribbon or fold out of place in her dress. One more thing, "Cad" always manages to get in plenty of sleep. EUGENIA CLEVELAND GEIMAN Westminster, Md. "--Her quick eye glows, And health's fresh rose Her soft cheek is adorning." Ah, "Genie," you cute little onel When we attempt to tell of thee-ah, much can be said. Though not the baby of the class, she can easily pass as such, for she is of rather short stature, wears her hair In a long braid and is, indeed, a little girl. She is accommodating too, for years she has served in the office of U. S. Mail, coUecting and dispersing sweet-tinted bil1ets doux, Consequently, a general rush when "Genie" is seen coming ostensibly to give kisses and to impart other business (when any teacher happens to be near.) Her merry brown eyes in harmony with her Deutsch countenance speak a laughing welcome to everyone. She possesses a voice of almost masculine depth, so rich is it. This same voice is sometimes subject to very feminine turns, but it won for her the Sophomore elocution medal, so "it makes no difference." She has received many favors in the way of Democratic pins, etc. from her Junior "strike." She lives on a farm not far away. When she arrives in the morn- ing with her bright eyes and rosy cheeks, she is like a November breeze sent to refresh ye caged Frauleine of the naughty-fours. She spends all her leisure time in the library, being a close third to Misses Clark and Love in this respect. In fact, she inherits the industry of her worthy ancestors. 64
