is, to a certain extent, the most
sensible one of the gang.
She is the
only one who seems to have a "sense
of responsibility"; however, this sense
of responsibihty does not interfere with
Marie's good time, and she is always
ready for fun.

"Mim" is a typical Irish Colleen

hair.
Many times her hearty laughter
was a sufficient cause for a
"squelching."
She was very bashful
and quiet when she came to the Normal School, but now, oh, well, that's
different.
Since she joined the L. I.
D. crowd we have discovered that she
is a very jolly, good-natured girl. Cooking breakfast for the L. I. D. was an
established "religion" with her.
Her
strange desire for "nothing without
salt" is a crossword puzzle which none
of her friends have succeeded in solving satisfactorily.
Her special hobby is hiking during
blizzards or heavy rain storms.

wanted, but I'm not so sure that she

is another one of the Edwardscrowd. When we first met Evelyn, we were under the impression that
she would be one of the "good" girls
of the school, as she always had such
an innocent appearance. However, we
soon discovered that she was always
ready for a "lark" with the rest of us.

Nevertheless,

for

this

dark-haired,

dark-eyed maiden, a good time does
not suffice. When she attempts to do
a thing, she docs it and does it right.
Evelyn is one of those true, constant
friends, well worth having, who are so
rare and hard to find.
We did think that Evelyn's mind was
unmolested by thoughts of the opposite sex, but we changed our thoughts,
inasmuch as her favorite pastime is
waiting at the mail box. Never mind,
Evelyn, that's all we'll say about it!
As a student, she ranks with the best,

her in her chosen profession, hoping

and posters for this great event. The play was very well directed by Prof. George J. Keller.
