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.

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?

CATHERINE ARRANT MURCHISON, L. I. Camden, S. C. Kratian Literary Society “Wit and humor covered a multitude of sins.’’ Catherine has won her way into the heart of every girl by her jolly good nature. Her presence is always made known by her merry laugh, which is particularly well known in the dining-room. Each morning the sun peeps over the horizon and finds Catherine pacing the basket-ball field with a will. This act she has continued for a number of years in order to fall off.” Be it said that she has indeed been very faithful, though sad to relate, no results, as yet, are very evident. We hope that her jolly nature and good disposition will always prove as stable as her weight. We will miss her beaming countenance when the cruel necessity of graduation severs her connection with us. BERTHA McCUTCHEON, L. I. Bishopville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society Silence is more musical than any song.’’ Bertha, after spending a year at Winthrop. decided to cast in her lot at Chicora,” September, 1911. Thus she wished to secure the finishing touches in the Nor¬ mal Course, which might prepare her for the position of principal of some high school. Her sincerity, good nature, and all-round good heartedness have won for her many friends, but she is best loved by those who know her best. Bertha’s many friends at Chicora call her, ‘‘Going to Clinton.” From marvelous accounts of frequent visits, we think it is doubtful that Bertha will ever teach,—but then, one can never tell.
