DAISY DEANE PARADEE Pocomoke City, Md. "No blushing rose, nor lily fine, No violet sweet, nor eglantine- A simple daisy, this, of mine." Daisy, Daisy, why do you keep it to yourself always? Indeed, one is apt to say, after having known her, "she can keep a secret" beyond the power of most women. Daisy is sometimes very sweet looking, that is when her china blue eyes are highly polished and her cheeks like pink roses. She rolls from her tongue many philosophic ideas and witty speeches which have escaped the notice of the others. She is apt to underrate her own talents, for we know that she has decided musical talent both vocal and instrumental. You would be agree- ably surprised upon hearing the limpid sweetness of her tones. She is witty, too, but not in a Hennical fashion. She says things not meaning them to be especially funny, they are merely her opinions, when 10, such laughter breaks forth from among her classmates! She is apt to say these things after everyone else has had her say, and so, when they do come, they seem all the rarer. She is very indifferent as to what is going on around her, and also to the stronger sex. She has sometimes been accused of being sarcastic; but it is awful to tell her so, she becomes so incensed. One more thing is sure to arouse her ire, that is, tell her that she knows it all in any study, "it makes no difference." NELLIE ADELE SELLMAN Baltimore, Md. "The warbling of an ever tuneful choir." But she can sing, oh my! you would think when hearing her that the heavens were rolling forth melodious bursts of thunder, and you would see the lightning of her hair. And, looking around for the singer, at last you would set eyes on the wee little Nell, And she can play the piano well too, only "Sam" squashes her just the same, She is blessed with a very bright mind. She is a treasure in French, for she can "parlez-vous francais," and uses up several superffnous minutes chatting with Madame. Nell has a strpng affinity for "strikes." She could not exist without one. At the beginning of her Junior year, her strike having graduated the year before, she hunted and hunted and at last planted her charms upon a poor, unsuspecting mortal who has not since been able to tear himself loose. Not that she likes the boys, oh no, she is of such a sunny disposition and loves to smile, that is all. Mad- emoiselle Nell has some go in her, some people might say too much of it, but as she is the class baby we must allow for an overflow of spirits. Nell is more generally liked than any of her classmates; for she has many warm friends among the lower classwomen (and rnen.) An all around girl is Nell Sellman. 67
