Senior Class Pictures MARY EVELYN BROWN, B.A. Clio, S. C. Palladian Literary Society Her high, broad forehead, marble fair, Told of the power of thought found there. Born in Japan, reared in the United States, educated in high school and Chicora College, Mary Evelyn has shown herself always the same lovable character every¬ where; quiet, unobtrusive, unselfish, influential, and a leader in all that pertains to the welfare of others. Her executive ability and sound judgment has been manifested in the way she has administered the affairs of the Y. W. C. A., as well as in her numerous class and society offices. A steadying and balancing force in college: a seeker after truth with a tremendous crav¬ ing for a nature of sympathetic understanding of others, vitally interested in soul culture and the highest things in life—these are some of her charac¬ teristics. Mary Evelyn possesses the highest standards of honor and truth, so much so. that one can always rely upon her judgment. Forever faithful and forever true,—thus is our beloved Class President. FRANCES CAROLINE BURGESS, B. MUS. Yorkville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “Music hath charms to soothe the saz ' age breast “Auntie” has been with us for only two years, hav¬ ing joined our class in the fall of 1911. This demure little maid has, by her unassuming manner, won a firm place deep down in the hearts of many. To know her better is to love her more. Two of Frances ' most admirable traits are her conscientiousness and her quiet determination. In addition to these character¬ istic qualities she is a jolly good fellow” and is “in for any fun that happens along. She has a disposition that one might well envy. But beware, and do not dis¬ turb her when she is taking her afternoon nap ! She is continually walking into trouble by trying so hard to keep out of it. Her early years were divided be¬ tween the study of music and the common rudiments of education, such as Math., Latin, and Science. But music has triumphed over books and a very common expression of hers is: I can ' t, I have to practice. ' We predict for Frances a brilliant career in the musical world. The best wishes of all her friends are for her future happiness and success.
