SALLIE EWELL SHERIDAN HaynesviHe, Md. "Sport that wrinkled care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides."-L' Allegro. Sallie has been with us many years, until now there are no hidden paths unknown to her. She can always be depended upon to tell you the latest news, especially about "strikes." "Sal" sustained a heaving loss in her Senior year; her "sister" graduated the year before, leaving her all forlorn. Biggest bluffer in the class, especially in French. But how she does enjoy a good joke! And laugh-often 10 her own sorrow. She is truly the biggest Iatrgher in school. She giggled so much one night, due to "Hennie's" "Jimmy Boy," that she had the hysterics, and-just a few words from "rna" the next morning. Sal and Madame have many a good laugh together, and at each other. When she offends anyone, which is seldom, she is always very repentant. She is sympathetic, and has also a taste for elegance. Her artistic taste is displayed in her room and in her dress. She has just enough of the artist in her com- position to enable her to make her colors harmonize in dressing. She has an eagle eye, noting carefully what takes place about her, and so is a storehouse of information. She admires "Lovey," "Sloanie" and "Hennie" because she likes to laugh at their funny sayings, but she is "hand and glove" with the miners particularly. BESSIE BRADLEY SLOAN Lonaconing, Md. "There was a bonnie lass, and a bonnie, bonnie lass, And she loed her bonnie laddie dear."-Burns. A Lonaconing prodigy, a miner and a Scotchman. The class has heard many rare bits of knowledge concerning Lonaconing, all about the mines (both in song and story), and Scotch! Oh, what a Scotch lassie she is to be sure. The most sensible girl in the class, she has abandoned the thoughts of anything tending in the slightest to frivolity. She has taught the class many words, once strange, now familiarly used by all; "nary a nip" for instance, helps to keep things going. She is a great help to "Hennie" for she is the other great originator of the '04 adjectives. Bessie has one expensive habit, that of losing all her hairpins every day. And so, she frequently has to wear her abundant locks as the children do, very simply. One serious and lasting love she has enjoyed for twenty years. Bessie would probably do better in her studies, maybe lead the class, but that she has to move her phalanges over the paper so often; in fact, she writes to Irwin not less than seven times a week with a big fat extra one on Sunday. Bessie knows lots of songs, both Scotch and English, she has taught the class two beautiful ones, "Little Dollie Rosa" and "Bonnie, Bonnie Lassie." 68
