AKIE of the "cherry blossom land" entered Western Maryland College just after Christmas in our Freshman year. She ex- pressed the two-fold ambition-"to be educated" and "to grow taller." She was not on the hill very long before she distinguished herself as a tennis star. She has represented '24 in the inter-class games every year. For two successive years af Eagle's-mere, where she went as a Y. W. C. A. representative, she has put Western Maryland College in the limelight by defeating representatives from some of the largest colleges in the East. Happy is the opponent who can show her the "deuce." Takie has a happy combination of many desirable qualities-a keen sense of humor, a heap 0' common sense, a generous spirit, an agile brain and a most attractive personality. Perhaps she will be best remembered as the heroine of "Chrysanthe- mums," the delightful little Japanese comedy. The atmosphere she cre- ated was unique and won for her the love of her audience. . Although she has not grown any taller, she has been "educated," and will go back to Japan with the love of '24 and the good will of a host of American friends. Ninety-six
