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

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.

MABEL HARTNESS, B. Mus. Sharon, S. C. Kratian Literary Society Let me have music dying, and I seek no more delight.” Good-natured, happy-hearted Mabel, entered college in the fall of 1908, and continued with us for two years; then on account of illness she missed a year and re¬ turned in igri to cast in her lot with the class of ’13. She has never been known to be seriously angry or anxiously troubled over anything that has yet crossed her pathway. Not even the thoughts of a piano re¬ cital have disturbed her as she pursued the even tenor of her way. Her wonderful musical talent is Mabel ' s greatest gift, and we predict for her a successful musi¬ cal career. EMILIE CABELL HOLLADAY, B.A. Winnsboro, S. C. Palladian Literary Society A perfect woman, nobly planned; To warn, to comfort, and command.” This is ‘ ' Holladay, and when one knows her the truth is evident. She claims Virginia as her native state, but she moved to South Carolina a few years ago, and joined the class of 1913 as an egotistic Sopho¬ more. In the various activities of college life she has proved her untiring energy, sound judgment, inde¬ pendent thinking and executive ability; and one feels a peculiar sense of satisfaction when a difficult task has been put into Emilie ' s hands. Distinctly the lit¬ erary leader of her class, she is also especially gifted with her pen. and none can frame a rhyme so well. With a quick wit, a cheerful countenance, a deep sym¬ pathy, who knows her but to love her?
