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?

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

MARY LAND, B.A. Yorkville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “I go to grove my soul! ” Mary, true to her name, is indeed exalted. With high ideals and principles she came to college only to realize those and immediately set up higher ones. Her college career has been an example to all others. Our most influential and best loved girl, she has reached even the most timid girls by her sweetness, under¬ standing and sympathy. It is Mary’s sole purpose in life to become a missionary, and with this end in view, she has sought diligently for all knowledge that could aid her in any way. In preparation for the foreign field she will enter Johns Hopkins University after leaving Chicora. MARY GIBBES MITCHELL, Expression Greenville, S. C. “She lends to the rhyme of the poet, The beauty of her voice.” Mary came to us in the fall of 1911 from St. Mary’s in Raleigh. During these two years she has endeared herself to all with whom she has come in contact. How could it be otherwise in the case of this wee bit of ■humanity, with radiant face and sparkling eyes? Mary will take her Expression degree with “An Old Sweet¬ heart of Mine.” The fortune-teller predicts that this rlie will become the president of a famous school of xpression, unless—well “Amor omnia vine it.
