"Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out."-Herrick. E come to her for advice always, and she tells us how to write our business letters, how to play solitaire, and to do all the dif- ficult things that come up in the day's work. She seems to have the gift of getting away with things, and sometimes her classmates fear for her when they hear her arguing with a "Prof." under whom she is taking a couple of subjects. When the Seniors all gather around after ten o'clock to discuss current topics, we soon hear "Gardy's" voice overtopping all others. We often find her reading, too, the things that appeal to her most being Tennyson's "In Memoriam" and Mer- edith's "Lucile". In fact, "Gardy" appreciates any poem which contains sentiments of the sweeter nature. Her love of solitaire reminds us of the story of the man who sought solitude and enjoyment alone with his cards, away from his friends. Many times we find her with her cards spread out and her face radiating happi- ness. Perhaps her enjoyment of this game may be accounted for here she can live again in the world of memory, and feel once more the thrill of past experiences. Seventy-seven
