MATTIE LOUISE THOMAS Biology "Tom" Showell, Maryland Berlin High School Philomathean Literary Society; Secretary of Philo, '22: W. W.; President of W. W., '24,'2.5; J. G. C.; Y. W. C. A. "Unpretentious as a wild rose." L IKE unto the wild rose is "Tom "-content to grow by the wayside, sending out its fragrance, unaware of its charm, yet captivating all by its unpre' tentiousness and unaffectation. But, although content to be unpretentious, "Tom" has not passed through college unnoticed, for her air of individuality and style have grown upon us, 'til we are convinced that she rivals all Paris models in the way she "dons her duds." Neither has "Tom" passed through college without assuming any responsi- bility in college activities, for she has been active both as co-worker and as officer in her clubs and societies. Into whatever pursuit "Tom" enters she pledges her' self earnestly and whole-heartedly, and always acquits herself creditably. Her earnestness, her kindness and generosity, linked with her evenness of dis, position and consistency of temperament, have slowly but surely manifested them, selves, and, in so doing, have won for "Tom" a true and lasting popularity.
