ANNIE LEWIS DRAKE, B.A. Bennettsville, S. C. Kratian Literary Society “To see her is to love her.” Have I not said enough ? Lewis is the baby of our class, although she is prep” in size, she is senior in mind. Indeed, the best things are arranged in small bundles and within this small creature is a mind so deep, so wonderful. She is skilled in music, in art, and stands foremost on the athletic field. She takes an active part in all the affairs of college life. Lewis is especially brilliant in directing financial affairs and social committees. No girl in school who has heard her friendly pass-word on the hall. Hey. Beau. has not been captured by it. ’Neath drooping lashes, her sparkling eyes indicate her tender heart, but e ' er she leaves Chicora we fear it will be inclined toward Harden- ing. Lewis has stuck to her basket-ball team for three years. Stick to the world. Lewis, just as perseveringly and you will win a position on the Varsity of Life’s game. MARGARET FLOYD. B. Mus. Woodruff. S. C. She had a sunny nature, that like a flower in a dark place sought for life.” Margaret Floyd is one of the girls who came to Chicora as a Freshman. She boarded in the college the first year but for the last three sessions has cast her lot with the day pupils. She is a sunshiny girl, with her golden hair, bright eyes, and happy smile. She can keep house, sew, cook—but perhaps it is wise not to chronicle too many of her virtues. A recital, the bane of the music senior’s career, stares her in the face, but she courageously goes forward determined that the girl in the dotted swiss will win out. Such an attractive girl will not long,—well, guess what she won’t do.

WILLIE PORTRESS COVINGTON, B. Mus. Bennettsville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society So mild, so merciful, so strong, so good. So patient, peaceful, loyal, loving, pure.” Willie came to us a Sophomore, and in a very short time was recognized as a treasure to our class. She was voted the most brilliant girl in school and indeed many demands are made upon her ability in every phase of college life. In spite of ill health she has bravely overcome and conquered every task placed before her. In her brown eyes we fathom the strength of her character and the force of her will. Although devoted to her books, music finally triumphed, and she has shown consider¬ able talent along this line. During her college career, Willie has held a number of responsible offices owing to her excellent judgment and her business ability. The Annual is greatly indebted to her faithfulness and diligence. We feel sure that all the essential qualities of success are in her possession and we pre¬ dict for her a brilliant future. SARAH ESTHER DOAR, B. Mus. Georgetown. S. C. Kratian Literary Society “Her delicious eyes arc clear as Heaven.’’ When Essie came to Chicora she brought with her her sunshiny smile and laughing eyes. But with her came also her low-country speech, much to the amuse¬ ment of the upland lassies in school. Returning their teasing and banter in good nature, she e’er long won their love and confidence. Her time has been de¬ voted to music, and she both plays and sings exceed- ingly well. Her voice is so sweet that when she has ceased to sing it ' ‘vibrates in the memory.” To her touch the piano yields up its deepest secrets. Be¬ lieving that all honor lies in acting well her part, Essie has made a splendid worker in all phases of college life.

HELEN GOLDSMITH, B.A. Fountain Inn, S. C. Palladian Literary Society A noble and attractive every-day bearing comes of goodness, unselfishness, sincerity, and refinement.” Helen is one of our hardest working B.A.’s, and is considered by the faculty to be one of the best stu¬ dents in college. So after all. it will not surprise you when I say she is made of good material, and will be heard of in the future. She is sweet and kind, and always ready to lend a helping hand to some poor soul climbing up the hill of knowledge. Always happy, always true. Ah ! Helen, would there were more girls like you ! ” RUTH RANDOLPH HARRIS, B.A., Expression Jacksonville, Fla. Kratian Literary Society She is never sad but token she sleeps. Randolph might well be termed the mascot of the class, since she is both small and “cute.” At first glance one would guess that she was from the sunny state of Florida, for she is truly a sunbeam—always hearing her brand on her head. Buried beneath this mass of golden hair is a steady brain, ever working, ever busy. The study of expression has added a coquettish air to this quaint little maid, which makes her admired and loved by all. Swift as an arrow on the athletic field she has won distinction for herself. In her friendly nature and genial disposition, she is termed by all a perfect little dear.” Randolph is the true patriot of the class ’13. “Here’s to the girl with red hair, white skin and
